Ilk is tendri'd out in the room in Suhuy's ways that is an entrance to the Logrus, communing. The Serpent fails to show up. Ilk pokes around a bit. No Serpent, no Jance, nothing of note. The folks from House Cara are still partying in Suhuy's ways.
Neville acquires info about the Reality Engine.
[The GM is a liar]
Jean and Ilk continue to discuss powers and the survey. Jean asks Mandor for a magical lift to Darkover.
Ilk tries to Logrus-reach Osric on the Fringe. He hits the Fringe, and vibrates a message to Osric. Osric is annoyed, and leaves the Fringe. Yuri, tendri'd, meets him and tells him about the Realms Lords' Power survey. They chat, switching shadows when Osric mentions Gwen's name.
[Go find out if Clarissa's name is
safe to say]
[Go find out if Clarissa has any hooks in his brain]
Ilk and Osric chat about the Fringe. No new information is distributed. Ilk asks Jean if he can ask Shiryu if he has any questions for Osric. Shiryu tells Jean that there will be a meeting of powers. Information is relayed.
Shiryu tells Jean that Melchizedik says that he and Norton should be at the meeting of Powers.
The location will be Ygg, and the time will be known to everyone.
Osric doesn't know where Ygg is, so Ilk goes to show him. It takes Ilk quite a while to find it - it has significantly changed. Ygg is closer to Chaos than Ilk would expect, the sky is bright blue, and the sand is white and shimmery.
Jean prints up and distributes invitations to the meeting. Llewella's is given to Faythe, Corwin and Osric get ones, Oberon's is given to Ilk to give to Ferro to give to Oberon, Ingold gets an invitation.
Jean asks Shiryu if Ingold should get an invitation, and explains. Shiryu appears before Ingold. Shiryu contemplates Ingold. Ingold contemplates Shiryu.
Jean introduces the guy who drew the really big Pattern to the Realms Master.
"A pleasure to meet you, sir."
"Of course it is."
"As I told Jean, I'm trying to fix that."
"Mind if I take a look at it first?"
Ingold tells Shiryu that it is believed that his Pattern is trapped. He doesn't want to go back until he gets more information from the Torturers' Guild. Cassandra pulls out her compact, powders her nose, and calls her boyfriend. In the midst of the call, necessity has her pull a dagger and throw it through the arm of someone that is about to inflict a fatal training accident on his sparring partner. Lord Talos waffles a bit on the timing of the report. When Shiryu's name is mentioned, Lord Talos says that he will be there momentarily with his apprentice and Guildmaster.
Manfreid bows Guildmaster to Realms Master (rub head on ground) , Guildmaster to Apprentice to Old Lord (noticeable), Guildmaster to high-ranking member of a guild, and Guildmaster to apprentice to Guildmaster of a non-ranked Guild. Shiryu accepts the bow, Cassandra bows back, Ingold doesn't know what to do, and Jean waves. Lord Talos and Du'rog bow simultaneously to the group.
Du'rog gives his report on everything that he has learned, including speculations, while never making eye contact.
Poisoners are mentioned
Rogue band of demons who formerly had a connection to the former head of the Mages' Guild, who upon being freed, formed a group that included but was not run by members of the Poisoners Guild.
Manfreid thanks Lord Talos for the report and asks Shiryu if it is sufficient. Shiryu says, "That will suffice for a beginning." Manfreid dismisses Lord Talos and his apprentice and asks for more information as soon as possible. Lord Talos and Du'rog gate out. Manfreid offers to remain, stating that this is the top priority of his Guild.
Shiryu says, "I don't believe that you can keep up with me, but it is worthy of the Guild to offer. Please acquire the information immediately and relay it to Ingold, who will contact me."
Shiryu looks around and says, "The wolves are missing. Perhaps that might inspire them more."
"Perhaps later."
"You are training these to defend my place, yes?" Shiryu tells Cassandra to train her troops as best she can, and to feel free to ask for his aid via Jean.
Shiryu turns and walks back into Jean, and walks back out somewhere else. Periodically, he wanders in and out of Jean.
At one point when Shiryu is not in Jean, Jean tells Silver Lyra about the meeting and asks her if she wants to be invited. She replies with an emphatically not. Andron then erases the though from Jean's head.
Gentleman Suhuy gets an invitation from Jean.
Zack has been enhancing the defenses of Arden against Benedict. Jean gives Zack an invitation to give to Titania. Zack claims to not know of an opposite of Faerie.
Jean tells Silver Lyra that he and Ilk are recruiting Mandor to get an observer into Darkover. Silver Lyra asks him to not expose the head of her Council to unexpected danger.
Invitations should be delivered to Cobalt, Fractal, and Darkstar.
The next time that Shiryu wanders through Jean, Jean asks a few questions. Shapeshifting is a significant power, and Rainbow is not appropriate -- the head of the Shifters' guild is.
Beastmastery is a significant power, and Snarsht is an appropriate designate.
Jean is deemed to be a representative of the fifteen powers in the other reality.
The Unicorn and the Serpent should also be invited.
Magic, yes. Ask Jenoir if her power is separate from the Spiral.
Psionicists - Andron
Warriors - Corwin
"Should we invite Ygg?"
"Yes - he is my opposite. That is why we are having the meeting there -- he cannot move, so I am going to him."
Neville to be invited for the reality engine.
Jean only knows of one initiate of the rift-power, and Bronelle is deemed to be not a high enough level initiate to be invited.
Jean goes to ask REN to have Dancers stake out that power.
Ilk receives an invitation for Ygg, and tries to figure out how to communicate. He pokes at the area, and spots a trail of more Real leading back towards Ygg's original position. Ilk tells Jean to tell Shiryu about this. Jean is aware that Shiryu is no longer in him. Ilk now has company.
Jean goes to Jenoir and asks. Jenoir says that she is not responsible for the source of the power, just its use. When Jenoir is told the list, she decides that she will be elsewhere.
Corwin gets a second invitation. Psionicists Guild gets an invitation hand-delivered. A Jean goes to Helgram and waits for Neville.
The invitation to Darkstar is given to Princess Chandra. Jean is asked if he is aware of the potential conflict inherent in the personages invited, and says that he will try to deal.
Princess Chandra says that he should also invite Flora.
Cailin is used as a communications medium for Cobalt and the Spiral.
Jean asks Silver Lyra how he is supposed to invite the Unicorn to the meeting.
"What power does the Unicorn represent?"
"Let us just say that the conflict between the Unicorn and the Serpent
is the reason that we are all here."
"Like Darkstar and Rainbow?"
"More like Suhuy
and Dworkin."
"Oh, that's no big deal."
"There is conflict... but as I have been led to believe it is not
destructive conflict."
Jean asks Dworkin how to get a message to the Unicorn. Dworkin has no idea what Jean is talking about.
Information that Dworkin is having a mostly broken day is given to Silver Lyra. They recommend moving him to someplace near the Pattern.
Dworkin rants and raves, then dives into the littler fish and is sent to outside the Primal Pattern. Dworkin starts re-arranging Wixer pieces, then darts for the Pattern. Dworkin is squirted with Wixer-brau, becomes drunk, is fished to the Paths of the Dead, heads off to pick a fight with Barlan, is fished back to the Primal Pattern, is made dead drunk, and deposited again in the Paths of the Dead.
Jean turns to Flora to talk to her. When he decides that they should talk privately, she says that they should talk later.
Jean asks Shiryu how he should contact the Unicorn -- Dworkin is having a bad day. Shiryu recommends that he ask the Serpent. Jean asks Ilk to have the Serpent give the invitation to the Unicorn. Clarifications are asked for and received.
When Shiryu appeared by Ygg, he turned to Ilk and said, "You may wish to be elsewhere. This could get painful." Ilk moves twenty or thirty shadows back to monitor from a distance. Ilk is forced back into his shape. This Ilk is very tired, and the shadow is really iffy on power use, so he curls up and takes a nap. Titania sends nice dreams.
Savior of Chaos decides to use the Logrus as a DNS server to locate the Serpent.
