Miscellaneous Fiddling

Neville is off walking the Primal Pattern.

Cailin, in Cataan, hasn't found any signatures belonging to himself or Ilkandacian yet.

He trumps his father, who is asleep in his rooms in House Moonlight. Tate complains about the lack of handy clothing. Cailin pulls Tate through, then realizes that he's been poisoned. They discuss poisons and true names. Cailin tries to heal himself and realizes that his true name has been changed, presumably by Snarsht.

[Cailin's been Root Kittied!]

They discuss means of contacting the outside world. Cailin conjures a Goodgulf, who manages to resist being de-conjured and is allowed to survive.

Cailin writes a note for Princess Chandra. Tate works on a trump for the area around Princess Chandra. Cailin decides to stay somewhere else.

Tate concentrates on his place trump, shows the note through the place trump, then drops the place trump. The trump is destroyed.

Tate draws another place trump.

Ilk, Jean, and Osric see a trump gate floating in mid-air in front of them. Behind the gate is a note explaining why Cailin and Tate won't be joining them. Ilk creates a note in response, scolding Cailin for getting re-poisoned after he had just gotten him de-poisoned.

Osric checks on the two impostors found during the Council meeting. Neither of them have been reported to have done anything out of the ordinary since the meeting.

Cailin experiments with his true name and shape-shifting, but doesn't find anything interesting.

Around

Verra and Darkstar arrive at Darkover. Most of Jean bow, with the exception of those in the huddle with Norton, Faythe, and Titania.

Ilk pokes around looking for Andron and Jenoir, but they aren't there. He heads to Cataan and updates Ferethyn. Ilk notices Pattern over thataway -- it's from Cailin and Laetatio. Ilk warns Ferethyn that the two of them are poisoned. Ferethyn sighs, agrees to go deal with it, and tells Ilk to stay put.

A globe of magic appears around Cailin. Cailin raises wards, until he realizes that it's Ferethyn's signature. Two hands reach through the globe towards him. Cailin tries to update the hands. The hands nod at him. The hands are making mystical passes in the air. After a time, Cailin realizes that he's being infused with raw magic, but his power levels aren't changing. After a little while, there is almost a negative image of Cailin behind him. There is a momentary pause, then a snap, and then the negative image becomes a positive image with little blinky lights on him, mostly on his hand. The same thing has happened to Laetatio, but there are lights flickering all over him.

After some time, the bubble goes away. Tate looks like someone inverted his flesh, allowed it to bleed inside-out, the put it back again. Cailin's hand itches. Tate is all gooey.

Tate grabs Goodgulf's robes and starts rubbing at the goo. Ilk sighs and yanks Cailin out before Cailin can re-contaminate himself. He brings the two of them back to Darkover, just behind a note indicating that Cailin has been decontaminated, but that Tate has re-re-contaminated himself.

Darkstar is lounging in plain sight. Verra is looking magnificent.

Ilk goes to Cataan and warns Tate that he's contaminated himself by rubbing himself with the shirt. Tate grabs at Ilk's note. Ilk uncreates the note, and hands Tate a shopvac.

Ilk sends Cailin to the shadow. Cailin removes all instances of Goodgulf from reality, burning three percent of his reserves, which is more than three percent of all of the magical power in reality. Ilk tows him back out. The last thing that Cailin hears is, "It must have been Mikail who killed him... aaaigh!"

Ilk notifies Ferethyn about the snow and the grass and returns to Darkover.

Cailin, Ilk, Jean, Norton, Faythe, Titania, Verra, Darkstar, Osric, and Zorro are assembled present in Darkover. Darkstar says, "Should we begin?" Faythe does something, and the tower is now insulated. Ilk can no longer reach outside this place with the Logrus. Darkstar suggests that they need a point person. Jean volunteers, but is determined to be held in reserve. Norton volunteers, and chortles.

Ilk warns Norton and the entire group about the presence of anti-Logrus amulets and their possible possession by the enemy, so he shouldn't use Logrus.
