It took me well over an hour to edit this log. I cut out ALOT of cb chatter
applicants talking to me, a half a million where pk's and your basic
background interference. I left what I felt was important to the log of
Minalcar's possesssion, why he was where he was.. and how it happened.

The Entrance Hall of the Great Library
You find yourself standing within the magnificent entrance
hall to the lyceum's library, which is known to be the largest
and most complete library in all of Thera. The floor is carpeted
here with a crimson rug that dampens your footsteps. To your south,
you see an intricately carved wooden archway yield to a large chamber
full of shelves upon shelves of books and scrolls. Scholars, monks,
and visitors pass through the archway quietly, seeking knowledge
and enlightenment. To the north, you can return to the main
lyceum foyer. There is a large poster mounted on the wall, with
a chart and instructions for using the library, as well as a
small, golden plaque beneath it.
[Exits: north south]
A sturdy desk is here, with neatly stacked piles of parchment.
Minalcar the cloud giant is here.
(White Aura) Chaldaie the elf is here.
An astute librarian is here, straightening the scrolls on her desk.
You hear a merry jingle as Astillian arrives.
You bow deeply.
Minalcar nods at Astillian.
Astillian with the jingle of his shoes, greets everybody.
You say 'Greetings, Warlord.'
Astillian says 'Greetings'
Minalcar nods at you in agreement.
Iracundur bows deeply to Minalcar
Astillian hugs Chaldaie.
You say 'May I sit next to you.'
Astillian says 'Always a pleasure my lady'
Chaldaie curtseys gracefully.
Minalcar says 'You do not need to ask me Iracundur.'
You nod.
Minalcar says 'you are your own person and I not your sire.'
Minalcar says 'If I may state something.'
Chaldaie nods.
Iracundur sits down quietly across from Minalcar
Minalcar says 'You penned your missive well. Touching all points.'
[DAWN] Chaldaie: by the way Ira
[DAWN] Iracundur: Yes?
[DAWN] Chaldaie: you got many compliment from Minalcar
Minalcar says 'If that you could handle a blade as well you would make a finer warrior.'
Minalcar looks more enlightened.
[DAWN] Iracundur: Interesting.
[DAWN] Chaldaie: sayting you missed your carreer
Minalcar says 'than you do a wizard.'
Minalcar snorts.
[DAWN] Chaldaie: he said you shopuld have took the sword instead of the pen and become like my brother most likelly
[DAWN] Chaldaie: which is quiet an honor
[DAWN] Chaldaie: coming from a barbarian to a mage
Minalcar says 'If you wish to hear me out, I will state the source of my rage.'
You nod.
You say 'I do.'
Minalcar says 'Tell me what you plan to do of it, and we shall end this conversation.'
Chaldaie closes her eyes and hums for an instant.
A magical spring flows from the ground.
Chaldaie drinks water from a magical spring.
Chaldaie says 'plan'
___________________________________________________________________
At this time Chaldaie, Minalcar and myself discussed a plan to end
a war upon the haven by the village. We are about concluded
when this happens...
___________________________________________________________________
Minalcar says 'I was once a compassionate giant Chaldaie, I know what the Haven was founded upon.'
Minalcar says 'This one single person decieves what your cause is.'
____________________________________________________________________
He is talking about the recently appointed Apostle Solian who
is one of the main factors in the war between haven/village.
____________________________________________________________________
Chaldaie says 'and you were just but a young puppy when my brother was a vetaran'
Minalcar says 'In my village, if our cause is disrupted by a single person, they are dealt with.'
Chaldaie giggles.
Minalcar says 'Gelkof entrusted me his blades, he saw the bear this pup would become.'
Chaldaie says 'that's mean he had a good reason'
Chaldaie says 'and even now'
Chaldaie says 'I see why he did it'
Minalcar clutches his chest, falling to one knee.
Chaldaie says 'are you all right?'
Iracundur looks at Minalcar strangely
Minalcar looks up at you, eyes teared over.
Minalcar says 'St...ep, away, Lady..'

A gargantuan being hovers slightly off the ground, barely
taking notice of your presence. Garbed in the thick furs
of elk and lion, this giant wears the placid visage of a
fierce warrior. His skin is broken just above the
temples, from which protrude thick black horns, jagged
and painfully obvious marks of his wicked nature. Between
these horns opens the maw of a slain bear, worn as
a trophy atop his demonic head. Beneath a row of jagged,
decaying teeth falls dark locks of black hair, tangled
and matted as the wind whips about his massive frame.
His thick chest is covered with the ribcage of a long-
dead beast from which wiry muscle and sinew can still be
seen between the aged bone. The flayed carcass of a humanoid
figure is worn across his back as a poncho, tied together
with strings of wiry catgut. The portions of this giant that
are not covered reveal thick arms with tightly corded muscles.
His right arm is slightly swollen, the flesh horridly burnt
and scarred. Upon his bicep is the searing mark of an
inverted cross. His skin tone has taken on a reddish hue,
dark and demonic discolorations which absorb the light about
his frame. His battle-scarred hands end with savage looking
fingers, from which thick, dark nails have grown. Within each
hand he grasps jagged blades, both wickedly edged and flecked
with stains of blood.
His face is marred with a twisted sneer, a sign of his
disregard for any life other than his own. Intense orbs
of raging torment mark his eyes. Eyes of fiery hatred
which causes you to tremble as he focuses these eyes upon
you.
Minalcar, a male cloud giant, is in perfect health.
Minalcar is using:
<worn on finger> (Glowing) (Humming) an Arkham signet ring
<worn on finger> (Glowing) (Humming) an Arkham signet ring
<worn around neck> a jade talisman
<worn around neck> a jade talisman

<worn on feet> (Glowing) (Humming) a pair of darkened boots

You stand up.
Chaldaie peck Minalcar on the forehead,
Iracundur backs away from Minalcar a bit
Minalcar falls forward, thrashing upon the ground.
Minalcar says 'Begone!!!!'
[DAWN] Chaldaie: move

The Bar of the Eternal Star
A large wooden bar fills the entire southern wall. Made of a rare red tree,
it has been finely carved and oiled so that it shines in the dim light. Food
is scarce near here but mugs and cups of every kind crowd the bar and
swing through the air for a toast. Shelves behind the bar hold the rare
ales and beers while large barrels sit stacked with the poorer drinks.
Stools are scattered about for people to sit, but most stand so they can
stomp and dance when the moment takes them. A large tapestry hangs
over the shelves behind the bar. People swarm in and crowd, pressing to
be nearer, calling out drinks and stumbling to hold on to their own. To
the north the crowd swirls, dancing and singing in a common area. Eastwards,
patrons cheer and groan noisily and long tables filled with food lie
west.
[Exits: north east west]
Minalcar the cloud giant is here.
Darting through the air, a little mephit puffs out a trail of smoke.
(White Aura) A hovering figure borne by a halo of white light is here.
Astillian the elf is here.
(White Aura) Chaldaie the elf is here.
Eisheth the human is here.
(Translucent) Cartherlen the human is here.
(White Aura) Celrinthar the elf is here.
(Translucent) (White Aura) Graellok the dwarf is here.
A stout dwarf bouncer hefts his cudgel and looks for trouble.
A huge, fat man roars with laughter as he passes out drinks.
[DAWN] Chaldaie: he is still getting possess I fear
Minalcar stumbles forward, tipping a nearby table.
Minalcar gasps for air.
Iracundur steps forward to hold minalcar up and turns red under the strain
Eisheth changes his gaze towards Minalcar
Minalcar says 'Be...gone...from....my..soul!!'
Eisheth says 'My lord, grant me the light so that it may cast down the shroud revealing the profane'
Eisheth chants as a brilliant light explodes forth from his blind eye
Astillian says 'Well a drink isn't going to fix that'
Minalcar thrashes about, bowling Olin over.
You say 'Begone demons!'
Astillian gives a mug of rich dark red Dwarven Ale to Minalcar.
Chaldaie stretches out her hand towards the heavens.
Minalcar stumbles to the far corner of the bar.
Chaldaie says 'now now now'
Chaldaie says 'come here demon'
Olin the Innkeeper slowly picks himself up off the floor.
__________________________________________________________________________
Minalcar goes to the rabbit corner, after falling off the edge of the bar
__________________________________________________________________________
A restless feeling swims through here. Eyes shift about as gold and gems
jingle and change hands. Food and ale are passed around freely by the
victors and readily taken by those wanting to win something. Every
known kind of game is played here, gold and gems being the prize most
seek to win. One table roars with victory and others echo with weeping
and cries of torment. Inn guards watch closely, making sure nobody gets
too far out of hand. Colorful cards fly across tables, and wheels whirl and
spin. Barmaids cling to and keep close care of those who seem to be doing
well. A stage lies north and the main bar sits to the west while a small rowdy
room to the south shakes with noise. In the eastern wall stands a finely
carved door with a boar's head etched on it.
[Exits: north south west]
Minalcar the cloud giant is here.
A cloud giant bouncer floats through the Inn.
A man peers at a deck of cards and gives you a suggestive wink.
You hear a merry jingle as Astillian arrives.
Minalcar yells 'B...eggoonn..ee!'
Minalcar tears at his face madly!
Chaldaie yells 'why you do not leave minalcar a moment andf come face me?'
Minalcar falls to his knees weeping.
Iradrin stares at the sky.
Minalcar brushes his sweat enveloped locks from his face.
Chaldaie says 'Minalcar?'
Minalcar falls to the ground exhausted.
Chaldaie says 'and you are a fair man'
You say 'Minalcar, you are the one who can bring hope.'
Chaldaie says 'iradrin?'
Chaldaie says 'is he ok?'
Iradrin says 'I...I do not know'
You say 'Fight the demons in your mind, Minalcar. Rage against them.'
You say 'You are strong, and we have faith in you.'
You nod at Minalcar.
Minalcar leaps to his feet, eyes red with intense anger!
Minalcar points his demonic finger toward you, questioning you intensely.
Iracundur jumps back away from Minalcar at the sudden outburst
Minalcar says 'Where are they!?'
Chaldaie says 'questioning me?'
Cartherlen steps forward.
Minalcar says 'The black spawn...'
Iradrin says 'Come, Leader, let us be gone from these, these...'

Minalcar draws his mighty blade 'Armageddon.'
Minalcar takes his dark longsword from its scabbard.
Minalcar says 'Vocatus atque non vocatus deus aderit.'
Iradrin beckons Minalcar to follow...hmmm what's going on?
Minalcar glares at Iradrin.
Minalcar says 'Do not beckon to me giant.'
Iradrin stands to his full height.
Minalcar snarls angrily.
Iradrin screams loudly!
Iradrin grits his teeth and fumes with rage.
Iradrin leaves north.
Minalcar says 'Betrayal, upon the cliffs of Cocytus.'
Cartherlen says 'Lord Minalcar, I urge you to fight your anger down...I know you carry the strength to do so.'
Minalcar glares at Cartherlen.
Minalcar says 'Do not urge me priest!!!'
Minalcar says 'You do not know the hells I have lived!'
Cartherlen says 'I do not speak to you as a priest...'
Minalcar takes a table in his right hand, crushing it quickly
Iradrin yells 'What tricks has gone on behind me! What did you SERVANTS do?'
Astillian whispers 'Oh that's coming out of my pay check'
Minalcar says 'Where are the villagers who betrayed me!!!??'
The gambler quickly jumps away from the splintered table.
Iracundur places his hand on Minalcar's massive forearm.
You say 'I feel your hatred Minalcar....tainted.. is your soul'
Minalcar snarls angrily.
Astillian hands the cards to the gambler.
Minalcar says 'Do not touch me!!'
Minalcar draws his blade close to your chest.

Iradrin glares around him.
Chaldaie says 'MInalcar'
The gambler take the cards with shaking hands.
Chaldaie says 'look here'

Minalcar says 'You dare!!?'
The gambler looks around anxiously, as though for a place to hide.
Minalcar yells 'YOU DARE!!!'
