** After the technical bit of the induction interview...

Inglor says 'Have you any questions for me?'

You say 'If I do get a place in the barracks, what's the pay like?'

Inglor says 'Piddling.'

You say 'The royal treasury is looking embarrassingly empty.'

A wry little smile crosses Inglor's face.

You say 'Hmm'

<100%hp 100%m 100%mv 14902tnl (-20.18%)> 
You are thirsty.

You say 'Ahh well.  Just my luck'

Inglor says 'Far easier to quest for coin, though it does add up surprisingly quick.'

Inglor says 'Anything else?'

You say 'Aye, well, sadly I find that my gatherings tend to end up being spent by the criminals'

You say 'But that would change if I could retaliate fully with my magic'

You say 'Hmm, yes'

Inglor nods.

You are thirsty.

You say 'If... hypothetically, I wished to teach a certain elf that he should at least attempt to investigate a claim of a crime, even if he hears no shout'

You say 'And that to hammer the point home he might end up dying outside of the city...'

Inglor says 'Something I was about to comment upon directly.'

<100%hp 100%m 100%mv 14902tnl (-20.18%)> 
You are thirsty.
You are dying of thirst!
The burden of corporeality staggers you.
Your thirst grazes you.

You say 'What might that do to my career?'

Inglor says 'We do not attack other magistrates.'

<97%hp 98%m 98%mv 14902tnl (-20.18%)> 
You are thirsty.
You are dying of thirst!
Your thirst grazes you.

Vicaxion rasps something about getting some water and being right back.

 ** Snip running for a drink.

You say 'Even lazy ones?'

Inglor says 'However, if you can not guarantee any past matters will be dropped, I will frankly refuse to induct you. I'll not have contention and squabbling.'

You say 'You know, I noticed that he investigated a similar case when it was a storm giant that died'

Inglor holds up one finger.

You say 'Aye, I simply wished to know the position'

You say 'It shall not be mentioned again, except if I see it happen again'

Inglor says 'If you have an issue with another magistrate, there are channels one can follow. Namely making me aware. I'll not have our people squabbling among each other.'

You nod.

You say dolefully 'Sounds like a lot of paperwork.  And no royal scribes to complete it all'

Inglor says 'Alright, three pieces of advise I like to give at this point.'

You nod.

Inglor says 'Advice, rather.'

Inglor says 'The first, we have touched upon. Do not mark unless you are absolutely certain.'

You nod.

Inglor says 'Always take your time, as much as you need, and if after thought, your unsure, don't mark.'

Inglor says 'Which leads to the second thing...'

A wry little smile crosses Inglor's face.

Inglor says 'Never listen to whiners. Arses to them.'

You say 'The King is used to wailing as the condemned are led off.  It won't be a problem.  And those with weak cases that don't get their way'

Inglor says 'Do your duty to the best of your ability. If after that people have complaints, again excuse the Hamsish, but arses to them. The words and actions of others do not make us who we are.'

You nod.

You say 'I presume that I'm not going to get to quote that in any cases'

Inglor says 'And finally, never be embarrassed to ask us questions, the only stupid question is the one left unasked.'

You say 'I have a question then'

Inglor nods.

You say 'Why do elves hate drow when drow live underground and elves live up here?'

You say 'I'd not ask except my resemblance seems to be causing me problems'

Inglor says 'The drow are traitors. They forsook the true path in favor of self service and wickedness.'

You say 'Ahhh. Right.  Perhaps they can be whipped into shape'

Inglor raises an eyebrow.

Inglor says 'For someone claiming royalty, you seem awfully ignorant of your roots. In ancient times, the elves were one race.'

You say 'I'm not a drow!  I'm not even from this realm'

You say 'My manservants didn't survive the portal here, else they'd tell ye the same.  Especially if I told them to'

Inglor says 'Since your not of the people, your obviously from one of the traitor clans who skulked from our homeland.'

Inglor chuckles politely.

You say 'It's possible, I suppose'

You say 'But quite why I get the blame for something I don't even know about... well, that's unjust.  It's not like I'm just some random peasant they're attacking'

You say 'Anyhow, thank ye for that.  It makes things much clearer.'

Inglor says 'But that, is irrelevant, here. Here we discuss the Spire. Else I'd point out as the Hand of Marcatis, I find your trade an abomination of the greatest magnitude, and find your pretense of nobility humorous.'

A wry little smile crosses Inglor's face.

Inglor chuckles politely.

You say 'Well, of course, ye must guest with me when I return to my own Kingdom, and we can show ye some hospitality'

You grin evilly.

Inglor says 'I have to say...I feel better for saying that, all the same.'

Inglor chuckles politely.

A wry little smile crosses Inglor's face.

Inglor says 'Come.'

Inglor says 'Is has pleased me to restore an old custom at this point.'

You say 'Feeding the starving?'

You are hungry.
You are starving!
Your hunger grazes you.

Inglor says 'So will you offer, in your own words a pledge of service, to the Spire and the laws we uphold?'

Inglor closes his eyes and hums for an instant.
Some unleavened bread appears before Inglor.

Inglor says 'Eat.'

You get some unleavened bread.

You finish eating some unleavened bread.
You feel completely full.

You smile happily.

Inglor says 'Curious to see if Marcatis' bread will poison a necromancer.'

A wry little smile crosses Inglor's face.

You say 'The Kingdom of Luth Lor hereby offers its full efforts to upholding the law of the Blood Tribunal.  May the spires of the libraries rise ever higher!'

You say 'Ye'll find that I'm hard to poison'

Your reputation grows as you prove yourself to others.
(You receive 1000 experience points.)
You have been inducted into the Blood Tribunal.
(Recall your memories of INDUCTION for what this entails.)

<91%hp 90%m 96%mv 13902tnl (-12.11%)> 
Inglor beckons for everyone to follow.

You say 'Comes from having to live in that crypt ye call a guild.  What a place!'

You now follow Inglor.

Inglor says 'The tour then.'

Inglor says 'Our foyer and fountain. Also a fine rallying point when defending the captain.'

Inglor says 'Our shopkeep.'

You say 'Ahh, nice work'

Inglor says 'The pills are worth noting, as they grant recall.'

You say 'Doubtless I'll just have overeaten.  I never was good at turning down a dessert'

Inglor says 'The armor is also surprisingly good.'

Inglor says 'The heart of our Spire.'

Inglor bows before the Blood Tribunal executioner.
The Blood Tribunal executioner bows before Inglor.

You nod at the Blood Tribunal executioner.

You say to the Blood Tribunal executioner 'I think we'll get along well, good sir!'

Inglor says 'The Executioner here, is guardian of our scales. Also here you will find our healer, and storage pit. Feel free to use anything ever inside you can use.'

You say to the Blood Tribunal executioner 'I've heard ye keep thy axe sharp and the rogues short.'

<100%hp 100%m 100%mv 13902tnl (-12.11%)> exa pitThis simple stone container is designed to hold extra clothing and armors
for Tribunals.  
When you look inside, you see it is fairly empty.
The donation pit contains:
     (Invis) (Magical) (Glowing) (Humming) a mystic's cape
     the boots of Stealth
     (Magical) the spear of the Nesstaktor
     a set of titanium horn guards

     (Magical) (Glowing) (Humming) a large golden medallion
     a massive cell key
     a mold-darkened key
     a tarnished copper key

You say 'I think there's mold growing on something in that pit'

Inglor says 'The Justiciar's offfice.'

Inglor says 'And Vindicator's.'

Inglor says 'Our museum.'

Inglor says 'The offices also hold quite fine collections.'

You say 'Ahh, excellent'

You say 'I've been waiting to find a collection to rival the Lycaeum'

Inglor says 'And finally our library, do you note the index?'

You say 'Aye'

Inglor says 'Its is compulsory, and I mean compulsory to study the upper texts before you take to your duty, yes?'

You nod.

Inglor says 'Though I do reccommend reading everything.'

You say 'I must take my leave now though.  But I shall read it all before I do anything else'

You say 'Acceptable?'

Inglor says 'Take your time, and don't be embarrassed at questions. Its a lot to absorb all at once.'

Inglor nods.

You say 'I won't let ye down.  Indeed, I hope to raise thee up some day!'

Inglor holds up one finger.

Vicaxion blinks innocently.

Inglor has assigned you to Seantryn Modan.

Inglor nods.

You say 'At least the seafood is good'

Inglor says 'Thats fine, just remember to read it all before taking your watch.'

You say 'Until then then Provost.  My royal gratitude.'

You nod at Inglor.
