Due to incoming forces of a (very) unfreindly nature, and a well placed PGoH spy, we terminated the hunt early to sail for open waters.

I also have fun ! ((how did you get the cat to ONLY lick the rat?!?!?! That's amazing!!))

( could not decide which little fun icon to put here, so I added alot of. : - ) ))

Happy NEW YEAR !!!

( I had no idea ;-(

and who is the mini knight, that is surrounded by all the colorful monsters?!?!

*removes his shroud of silence*

It seems we are all on the same page. I am glad to see this. ((as I enjoy positing here in the forums))

Thank You all for your input(s) and any/all time put forth to our guild. That is MOST appreciated. “How can I help?”

I would like to add a special thanks to Doc Vale/Eisaac.

It is a sad day when when an individual from our guild can not post their thoughts and experiences in a forum designed to do just that. When it is to be thrown back in their face, by, I am am not even sure how a non guild member was able to create an account, but there it is... and then to happen upon a specific entry, and then continue with exactly what the post following states shall not happen, including threats (however minuscule they are, that is how they are presented).

To others who may yet read this, before it is deleted, please take heed at what has and is happening here, and more importantly, by whom. For those in leadership, when your first priority is not your followers, you have much to learn about leadership.

Until I feel secure with my guild mates; I am making this my last verbal post to these forums.

Lord Mareak

-henceforth-

The Silent Knight.

Ask of yourself this: “Is what I have done HONORABLE?”

This is SOOO funny!!!

But what is this is I see? Is that a hint of love that Piper has for Thom?!?!?!

Ayyyee matey Ayyee. *takes a swig of rum* but'n perhaps not all des yellow bellied land lubbers knows what we're yammering 'bout here...ehh?

Arrggghhhh.

You know, I once hit a cockroach (walking on the floor) with my sandal, only to find later... its head glued (with its gooey bodily fluids) to the wall, 2 feet high...

_____________________________________________________________________

The first tale was told by Huma [G*F]

Huma:

Tonight my tale will take you back to the town of Trinsic to time far back when the mighty city was in dire peril.

Juo'nar and his inhuman minions were going through Trnsic unopposed the gallant General Dupre watched this all from the parapet

of a tower till hilding out hope until he saw something that made his heart sink he looked to the west and saw a detachment of

them making for the Chaktamir pass.

Now not many know of Chaktamir pass it was shortly destroyed after the invasion when all the energy was released when Juo'nar

fell but at the time it was an ungarded way into Trinsic which even at the time few knew of.

Dupre saw this and knew the fight went from hard-fought to desperate now he knew reinforcements from Birtania were coming but by

then there wouldn't be a Trinsic to defend so Dupre called in a small core of troopers there was Orpash and Helbin two brothers

hailing from Skara Brae I believe archers not surprising given the city and there was Slith a monster of a man ten feet tall there

was talk of ogre blood in him not to his face of course and there was Durac a native born Trinsic citizen and Balon

Durac and Balon went through childood and young adulthood together they began as shield bearers fer the knights of Trinsic and

became knights. Together Durac would say if he had to fight Mondain himself he could with Balon at his side.

Dupre called them to the tower and said "Look men I am about to ask something from you I should ask no one" he pointed to the

pass "Juo'nar is sending forces thrugh there if they get through we'll be shredded. Lord Odovar is bringing his army from Britain

but we need more time and with what I can spare I doubt we will even do that I am asking you guys to buy us time. Yes I know this

is the actions of a desperate man a drowning man going under for the fourth time but if you fail this mighty city will be nothing

but rubble and I fear other cities will then soon follow. Meet back here in one hour".

Durac went to Essana his wife or "starlight" as he was wont to call her. Essana was heavy with child the clerics said the child

was to be born that day. Durac took Essana in his arms and explained what would happen and asked Essana "you will tell him his

father died bravely?" to which Essana said "Tell him yourself when you get back!" it managed a weak smile from both for the rest

of that hour they spent comfortably entwined in each other's arms knowing it was the last time it would happen in life.

So Durac met back up with Balon at the tower to which Balon said, hmm wonder how long you'll last against them number eh? to

which Durac said, "you won't know. I'll outlast ya" "Bet a beer you're wrong" said Balon a bet was promptly struck.

They assembled in battle formation as Durac took the lead "Under the hills the heart of the axe arises from cinders the still

core of fire heated and hammered the handle an afterthought for the hills are forging the first breath of war" the soldier's heart

sires and brothers the batttlefield come back in glory or on your shield their blood stirred by the song they marched shoulder to

shoulder.

Now there were more than the four naturally but not much and then they came in waves in deluges it almost looked like a wall of

flesh. The valiant defenders stood their ground when they could which was not often. Slith one time clubbed a skeleton almost to

powder.

Durac was everywhere at once rallying troops felling closed breaches in the line in fact there was only one time he paused when

he saw Balon get torn down from his horse from behind. He rushed to the aid of his dear friend but alas by the time he got there

his childhood companion was barely recognizable but there was no time to mourn as they were closing in and quick. As the horde of

undead tightened around them the defenders fought with a strength borne of desperation and then Durac saw something that made his

heart leap with joy the crossed saber standard of Lord Odovar.

They sliced through the inhuman attackers and swept them from the Chaktamir pass giving the defnders a much needed victory and

rallying point. Durac should have been overjoyed but Odovar's timely rescue wasn't timely enough for Balon and he would have

traded anything to prevent balon death.

Durac ran home though like a man possed and swept Essana in his arms watching a sunrise they thought they'd never live to see

together.

Huma: the end

Kodoz: our next contestant is...

Kodoz: *looks at it*

Kodoz: Who signed with just an L?

Zora Liliana: *clears her throught*

Zora Liliana: Well, I had a glorious tale

Zora Liliana: But i

Zora Liliana: I'd rather tell a...more personal one

Zora Liliana: *glances at piper, and frowns that the mongbat left*

Zora Liliana: *gives a shrug*

Zora Liliana: This happened many years back, as i was training under my father

Piper: *squints at her through blurry eyes*

Zora Liliana: He warned me every day as i walked out the door to fetch the water

Zora Liliana: "Now listen here, little lady. You watch out for the demons, and Beware of the Balrons!"

Zora Liliana: "Beware those Gargoyles that walk about, and the ferocious imps"

Zora Liliana: So every day, I'd have to put up with it...

Zora Liliana: I suppose that's just how fathers are.

Zora Liliana: *gives a soft smile*

Zora Liliana: So one day i head out, just me and my dagger...

Zora Liliana: Carrying my bucket to fetch the water

Zora Liliana: And as i reach the well and hoist the rope to tie the bucket to it

Zora Liliana: I freeze, as all my blood runs cold

Zora Liliana: I hear a noise behind me, a terrible screech, and I can't even move

Zora Liliana: For I knew that what my father warned me about had come for me

Zora Liliana: I closed my eyes and cringed in fear hearing the flapping of great wings behind me

Zora Liliana: And in my haste to run as i finally stopped being paralyzed with fear

Piper: *listens*

Zora Liliana: I forgot to let go of the rope

Zora Liliana: So i ran fast away from the creature behind me and ran and ran...

Zora Liliana: And was suddenly stopped short

Zora Liliana: Like the end of a whip, *makes a loud noise with her hands in a clap*

Zora Liliana: I was snapped and hit the ground, all the breath gone from me

Zora Liliana: And as i heard those great wings coming for me

Piper: What was it!

Zora Liliana: I found my breath once more and crawled away when a great being with claws struck at me

Zora Liliana: I felt the claws rake my back, and then another creature scratched my face!

Zora Liliana: I was sure that this day was my last..

BarefootPrincess: *cringes*

Zora Liliana: But i intended to make my Father proud

Zora Liliana: So from my pocket i grabbed my dagger

Zora Liliana: And with a frightened shriek i slashed and slashed!

Zora Liliana: Screaming the whole time until i realized i was hitting nothing but air

Zora Liliana: And as i finally calmed down and realized that the monsters had fallen

Zora Liliana: I looked uponthe bodies in shock and horror...

Zora Liliana: Completely aghast at what lay before me...

time wizard: *pays more attention*

Zora Liliana: For the creatures i had been besieged by were no mighty balrons

Zora Liliana: Nor a fearsome demon

Zora Liliana: Or even the ferocious imp

Zora Liliana: But merely a mongbat and that very rat who was yanked up by the wells rope

Zora Liliana: And though on that day i still had all the adrenaline pumping through me

Zora Liliana: All the fear in me

Zora Liliana: Nowadays i look back and laugh

Mareak: *grins*

Zora Liliana: But on that day...You would not have found a prouder little lady in all the lands

Zora Liliana: *smiles widely*

Piper: *scowls, flattening her ratlike ears and thumping her tail*

Kris Lapp: *understands*

Zora Liliana: *bows her head slightly*

Just the five of us, trekked around one of the Tokuno islands.

I voted No. Having the existance of "safe areas" is why Trammel and Felucca exist.

I feel these zones would provide a means for dispute, (and aditional areas for ambush) that can avoided by simply not having them.

As much as I dislike PK'ing I am willing to do this, as it will only help me improve what little PvP skills I have.

I am Glad to se PGoH on the calendar !!!

Wowzers!!

Can I hire you to decorate my house, when I get done rebulding it?!?!?

Glad to see you posting here Mare!! I know what it's like to be taking time off ( approaching 4th month right now, unplanned time off...anyways)

I will be seeing you around!!!

Last night several gaurdians came to the defense of Vesper. This is a screen shot of us entering the city in it's defense.

Congradulations to Lord avatar for passing his Codex test late last night.

Woot Woot !!

I also got a demi god result...but the author of this page did say, and I quote, "...It's a silly test. And sometimes I'm a cynical ######. So please have a sense of humor when you take it. "

Congradulations to Sir Thom, promoted to Heran Centurion !!

Our "official" marriage portraits

Yes, Mareak and Callista finnaly got married, it was a spur of the moment, un-planned event, our apologies to all who would have liked to attend and were not able to because of our hastiness.

Our family lost a child, several years ago, and it hit eveyone hard. I did alot of reading on this, and I discovered from one man's words of wisdom, what I and others needed, to get through one of the hardest times anyone can experience in life.

It is not the loss of the child that can be explained, but feel gratefull that the Lord blessed you with one of his angles for so short a time.

(paraphrasing)

I have also experienced/felt/seen infants at the P.I.C.U. and I have learned that there are things worse than death for the infant, and more so for those that love them.

I can only express my sincerest and honest condolences to the parents, and family. I hope that these mere words will provide some measure of comfort to them, as it has for others in the past.
