Works for me. I'm scared though, all these bards in one room, I'm betting we break at least one thing. *recalls exquisite instrument incident*

I suppose I can fit this into my schedule.

>
Broichan's satin bullfrog exclaims, "Oh, Raseh, there you are, my sweet!"
>
>
Grimsel is surrounded by a soft whistling noise.
Each successive iteration of Grimsel's melody layers over the next, building an increasingly complex latticework of noises. Minor seconds collide as competing lines begin to blur any sense of tonality, the previous sweetness buried in a cloying collage. Scattered strikes of Grimsel's stamping stick pierce the texture, seemingly at random.

You notice an odd, almost godly aura about Raesh.

You see GameMaster Raesh, the Toad of Fate.
He is a fat toad covered in leathery brown skin and warts. Noticing your attention he gazes at you hypnotically, hourglass pupils swirling in his large, brown eyes.
A simple command forms in your mind: "Worship the toad."
He knows your Fate, and he will outlive you.
He is in good shape.

He is wearing a great number of hats.

Broichan appears to be concentrating intently on something.

You see Muse Katralyn Lonestartex, True Bard of Ilithi, a Human.
Katralyn has pouting lips and thick-lashed jade eyes. Her blue-black hair is very long and wavy, and is worn loose. She has fair skin and a curvaceous figure.
She appears to be venerable.
She has a tattoo of a kneeling Human thrusting a sword skyward as she is encircled by a ring of spectral apparitions on her thigh.
She is in good shape.

She is wearing a crocodile-skin buckler, a parry stick, some perfect firecat-skin leathers, a lumpy bundle, a balanced light crossbow with an intricately carved stock, some steel-toed footwraps reinforced with iron bands, some platinum knuckles with iron spikes, some scarlet stockings cleverly adorned with ruby chips, a luxuriant saffron yellow silk dance veil, a twilight blue silk garter embroidered with tiny silver shadowlings, a pair of diamond-tipped fangs, a jangling golden hip-chain set with carved ivory roses, a white satin scarf silkscreened with a pattern of flame roses, an electrum anklet, a thin silver ring set with a small marquise sapphire, some beaten silver toe bells, an albredine crystal ring, a blue brocade backpack embroidered along the straps with a wren-in-flight pattern, some white ribbons with "NO. 1" stenciled down the lengths, a gold neithrel band fastened by matching lightning bolt chains, a flame-etched black gold charm bracelet set with animite beads, a twisted black gold friendship ring with heart-shaped twilight-hued glass beads, a duffel bag, a hyacinth blue belt, a claymore sheath, a polished belt frog with a scimitar and a dark coral scimitar hanging from it, a black leather arm quiver studded with silver fangs, a carved crystal pick set with a star sapphire, a blue-green selmor rose, a delicate platinum chain dangling a platinum ring bearing the crest of the Bard Guild, a bison-leather badge that reads "Death to the Outcasts!", a bison-leather badge that reads "Death to the Outcasts!", a gold brooch, a wormwood brooch inlaid with opals in the pattern of a pirate, a wicked silver belt knife, a delicate silver eyelid piece shaped like a wizened claw, an antelope-leather badge that reads "Native Ilithian", a polished platinum badge that reads "Words are deadlier than the sharpest sword", a deeply hooded cloak of misty grey silk lined in pale blue, a black doeskin corset jeweled with petite ruby roses on rambling emerald vines, a saffron yellow silk tshoga trimmed with rosettes of gold threadwork edged in copper and a filmy skirt of black gauze over crimson silk set along the hem with tiny beaten gold disks.

Leilond demonstrates the science of Targeted Magic, extolling its virtues, techniques, and uses at some length.

Herachs fumbles with a dung beetle and a platinum-hued haversack, trying to get the beetle into the container. The beetle clings to his fingers, apparently not liking the looks of the haversack.

Your mind hears Malkien thinking, "You can find basilisk arrows much easier than you can find quads or pulzones or decent bolts. Better off with a bow for damage, though mind that you can't use your shield with a loaded bow."

Leilond adroitly schools you in the time-honored art of Targeted Magic.

Linett says, "I was at a spar thingie a week or so ago and the mage who was fighting a bard thumped the Bard. Rendering the Bard entirely incapable of using magic/enchantes. Can some thought be given to making that not work, since it is pretty crippling to a Bard to be thumped in a combat situation and it isn't something you have any defense against, aside from raw circles. I agree on the whole training weapons/armor stuff but still, a lot of a Bard is enchantes and being buffed, using a song to get out of something long enough to retreat."

A horde of gibbering goblins runs into the area, obviously searching for something. One sees Jaedren and screams, "There he is, boys!" The goblins throw a net over Jaedren and haul him off, kicking and flailing the entire time.

After a brief moment, a small goblin wearing a diaper wanders in, looks around innocently, and waddles off in the direction of the mob.

Katralyn is next.


Leilond adds his name to the meeting list.

Liandrilinn nods to Herachs.

Katralyn smiles.



Katralyn says, "In terms of statistical boosting, is it possible we could have something that boosts on the level of Benediction in clerics or some of the barbarian dances, that isn't an enchante, that say was a ritual dance or limbering exercise for bards. Just throwing an idea out there, to give us some other avenues of ooomphh.. Also, Thank you very much for holding this and for answering all of our questions."


Kodius says, "Well, every ability is being rewritten for 3.0."

Raesh says, "Boosting will be standardized in 3.0."


Raesh says, "Yeah, what he said."

Kodius says, "Dragon dance is having its head removed..."

Kodius clears his throat.


Liandrilinn nods to Herachs.

Raesh says, "Also you might want to check out the practice verb."


Raesh asks Kodius, "Head removed? Isn't just like the toenail going to be left?"

Razzer ponders.



Your mind hears Hitoshi thinking, "selling forged weapons and tools"


Kodius says, "It was a top-heavy dragon."

Kodius shrugs.


Katralyn says, "Yes I use that for mojo reboost, and didn't find much else from it in terms of the old + by anything statistically, but I can check again."


Kodius says, "Feel free to suggest new abilities, however. Things will allow more versatility in 3.0."




Raesh says, "Do note that currently your line up is lacking a charisma booster."

Raesh says, "Which is kinda weird."




Ysselt waves her hand distractedly.




Raesh says, "I've got an idea for a line of boosting spells themed with the elements."


Ysselt says, "I do not need these petty charisma boosters you speak of."

Ysselt waves her hand distractedly.

Raesh says, "But they're going to have to wait until after 3.0 for the support to be in place for them to make sense."

Katralyn laughs at Ysselt.

Basgonif chuckles.

Raesh says to Ysselt, "Some of us can have 100 charisma."




Ysselt sobs.


Leilond chortles softly at some secret joke.

Razzer sighs.



Raesh says, "Basically you'd take on the aspect of one of the elements, but only one at a time."





Raesh says, "And it'd do some boosting and interact with the mojo abilities."

Raesh says, "As an aside the Electricity one is my current idea for the top slot of the Songsworn Feats."

Meigs is next.


Katralyn says, "Sorry if my questions were redundant, I haven't been around much lately, and don't read all the time."



Raesh says, "Not a problem."


Meigs says, "You've covered performance, what about bardic lore? Will there be ways to work that too? Performance and Bardic Lore would seem to be the natural top two skills for a bard, but I suspect most bards are going to have them behind at least two secondary skills in primary magic and harness and they're going to fall further behind without ways to work them that fill them the way that we can work secondaries in combat."






Raesh says, "Performance needs development in ways that aren't bard specific."

Raesh says, "Since it's not a bard specific skill."

Liandrilinn looks at Herachs and blushes.



Meigs says, "But it is sort of a bard's natural skill."

Raesh says, "But it also needs a reason to exist aside from messaging the room about how hard you just crit your lute."

Raesh says, "Thus the system I just discussed."





A massive chorus of singing and chanting goblins runs in and dumps Jaedren unceremoniously on the ground. As he gets to his feet, the horde rushes off, never once stopping their song.

Katralyn blinks.

Liandrilinn nods to Herachs.


Raesh says, "You can do anything you want."

Raesh says, "He can't fight back."

Leilond laughs!

Jaedren ponders.

Raesh says, "Bardic Lore will power the new mojo abilities, (the existing ones after they're redone), Evokes... I might be forgetting something."

Raesh says, "But the core of it will be the new mojo abilities."

Jaedren gazes at you.


Jaedren gestures at you.

A black cloud of ash and soot descends around you, and you suddenly feel horribly transformed.

Liandrilinn grins at Herachs, her dimples flashing into view.


Liandrilinn beams at Herachs!


Ysselt says, "Hahaha."

Liandrilinn nods.

Katralyn laughs!

You say, "I think I would like pigtails."

Herachs rummages through a leather thigh bag reinforced with metal strips searching with intent, but it quickly becomes apparent he's not got a clue where to look.

Belladulce gets a bone-handled hair brush with stiff peccary bristles from inside her suede belt purse.

Raesh says, "Oh, and if skills 3.0 comes out before new mojo stuff and odds are it will."




Raesh says, "We'll have some stop gaps in place to make sure Bardic Lore is learnable."

Leilond says, "Awesome."

Leilond grins.

Raesh says, "Astrology and possibly some of the other guild only skills are going to need the same treatment."


Katralyn gets a cup of Liani's special rum from inside her blue brocade backpack.

Meigs says, "I just hate to see lore primary skills sitting well behind secondaries and staying there."

Katralyn takes a sip of her rum.

Jaedren raises his arms skyward, chanting!

Jaedren gestures at you.
Small tendrils of curious silvery light slither from Jaedren's fingertips toward you.
You suddenly feel nauseous, as if you'd been doing performance art.

Your mind hears Hitoshi thinking, "waiting for the hired killers to arrive"



Ysselt says, "Aw."


Meigs says, "BOth in averages and in highs."

Your mind hears Coulin thinking, "Good t'hear yer about, miss Elyssari. Find some wounds I hope?"



Raesh says, "... that was shockingly kind hearted of you Jaedren."

Jaedren says, "Issus is my favorite."

Liandrilinn chuckles at Raesh.


Leilond is next.


Ysselt frowns at Jaedren.


Ysselt clears her throat.

Leilond says, "Ok, I have three questions from Issus."

Leilond grins.


Leilond says, "Number one."


Jaedren says, "No."

Leilond says, "Do you have any more details about the new Performing system? No problem if not -- I know it's still probably a ways off from even when 3.0 hits."

Linett covers her eyes with her hand.

Katralyn laughs at Leilond.




Leilond says, "Er."

Leilond says, "Not that one."



Linett says to Leilond, "I will ask the second, whisper me."

Leilond says, "3.0: Why no perk to learn other guilds spells without prereqs (magic theorist) by default? We've always had that capability."

Linett adds her name to the meeting list.



Linett sticks her tongue out at Jaedren.


Katralyn nods to Leilond.

Katralyn says, "Good point."


Linett removes her name from the meeting list.

Jaedren says, "Barbarians have also always had an OP Dragon Dance."

Linett says, "Oh yes, good one."

Liandrilinn nods to Herachs.


Liandrilinn smiles at Herachs, revealing the dimples in her cheeks.


Linett adds her name to the meeting list.

Liandrilinn nods.

Herachs waves.


Herachs bows to Raesh.

Liandrilinn waves.

Liandrilinn softly says, "Excuse us please."


Raesh says, "Hmm."

Show Fighter Herachs's group went through a pair of glass doors.



Raesh says, "I'll ask the Magic guys."

Razzer says, "I have to run."


Razzer nods.

Razzer waves.

Raesh says, "Otherwise I'd have to go dig up what the current list of default perks is."

Vocalist Guru Razzer went through a pair of glass doors.





Katralyn sighs.

Leilond asks, "Do I need to join the list again to ask question two?"

Leilond grins.

Ysselt says, "Yes."

Ysselt says, "RULES."

Leilond laughs!

Raesh says, "There's someone else on the list so... yes."

Leilond says, "Fine fine, well then that was that."

Linett asks, "Question two: Raesh said Inspiration of the Muse was on his list of spells he wants. What other spells are on your "list"?"

Linett hums to herself.

Linett winks at Leilond.

Leilond chortles softly at some secret joke.



Raesh says, "Oh I can answer your question afterall."


Raesh says, "I just talked to the Magic folks."

Belladulce says, "That was quick."

Raesh says, "And the answer is that as a magic secondary you only get one feat "Free."

Jaedren isn't a magic folk.



Leilond says, "I thought as much."


Leilond grins.

Jaedren also is only half paying attention.

Raesh says, "And that's the one that makes your cyclics into the enchante-like spells."


Leilond nods to Raesh.

Katralyn folds her arms across her chest.


Raesh says, "I figured that was the case."





Raesh says, "So I think there's a feat that does what you want."


Leilond says, "Yepp."

Raesh says, "But you'll need to spend a slot or two -- whatever the current cost is -- on it."

Leilond says, "Just gotta spend a spell slot to take it."


Leilond nods to Raesh.


Raesh says, "But by default you can power your cyclics with normal mana instead of held."

Raesh says, "Which other guilds have to train to do."

Ixien appears in a flash of light, looking slightly disoriented.


Seldaren appears in a flash of light, looking slightly disoriented.






Seldaren stops performing his enchante.

Linett hugs Seldaren, getting a smile in return.

Ixien nods to Raesh.


Seldaren grins.

Ixien says, "Thanks."

Raesh says, "Fashionably late was like two hours ago."

Raesh says, "FYI."


Leilond grins.

You've gained a new rank in your ability to target magic.


Seldaren says, "Yes, but dinner was delicious."

Ixien chuckles.



Ysselt says, "Smarm. -2 points."

Raesh says, "Anyhow to the prior question."



Raesh says, "There's basically seven spells on my short list, unless I'm forgetting one."

Belladulce just hugged Ixien.



Ixien smiles at Belladulce.


Raesh says, "Which is the Muse spell and the six "aspect" elemental spells I already mentioned."

Seldaren begins to listen to Leilond teach the Targeted Magic skill.

Katralyn laughs softly, trying to hide her amusement.


Raesh says, "Logically there'd be another one that would be the Taleweaver top tier spell, but if I have a plan for that I don't recall it offhand -- I think I'm still brainstorming that one."


Leilond admonishes you on commonly made errors, mistakes and misuses of Targeted Magic that should be avoided at all costs.


Raesh says, "Top tier feat, sorry."








Leilond asks, "Hmm, if each heritage has one aspect, where do the other 3 come from?"



Raesh says, "No."

Raesh says, "Only the songsworn have one."

Leilond admonishes you on commonly made errors, mistakes and misuses of Targeted Magic that should be avoided at all costs.

You consider booing Jaedren but you realize you really wouldn't look all that good as a newt.

Jaedren fixes you with an acute, keen-witted stare.

Linett says to you, "He painted you and changed your clothes. You sleep deeply."

You are Mister Issus Rippentropp, Favored Son of Elanthia, an Elf.
You have laugh lines, pointed ears and hazel eyes. Your deep blue-streaked russet hair is shoulder length and fine, and is worn coiled in an upswept twist. You have tanned skin.
You are an adult.
You have a tattoo of an iridescent blue dragon with flowing wave-shaped scales over the words, "Desu Sanrar li Cui rae li Berid" on your back.

You have faint scuffing to the neck, faint scuffing to the right arm.
You are in good shape.

You are wearing a worn linen cassock covered in crude iconic imagery, a subtle dark jade quiver painted with many exceptionally detailed zigzagging fish, a battle-scarred war harness, a charcoal grey rune-covered backpack with pitted iron bars across the flap, a black leather naphtha holder with vial slots stitched to the sides, some charcoal grey footwraps spattered with dark red stains, a brass parry stick spiraled like a unicorn horn, a heavy arzumos hide cloak stitched with intricate silver sigils, a lumium targe, a lumium mail balaclava, some lumium mail gloves, some boar-hide handwraps studded with vicious spikes, some gold-framed spectacles accented by a pair of emerald leaves and a rough cypress broom with a crooked twine-wrapped handle.

Ixien adds her name to the meeting list.

Chuckling at your eagerness to learn, Leilond proceeds to show you some details of Targeted Magic that you immediately grasp.

Jaedren says to you, "You have pretty hair now."






Belladulce puts her comfort in her instrument case.

Leilond says, "Oh snap, but... breath of storms."

Leilond ponders.

Katralyn asks, "Bards handle water?"


Katralyn blinks.

Raesh looks at Leilond and shrugs.

You see Leilond Sootherin, Shadow of Elanthia, an Elf.
Leilond has pointed ears and thick-lashed viridian eyes. His deep purple hair is long and fine, and is worn loose. He has fair skin and a brawny build.
He is average height for an Elf.
He appears to be an adult.
Branded into the skin of his back is a shadowy dragon with wings unfurled to touch his shoulders.
He is in good shape.

He is wearing a lumpy bundle, a flowing duelist's white longcoat without sleeves, a triple strapped chest baldric, a fitted mesh lorica of chaotically-angled links, some side-laced leather armbands, a forearm-sized aegis crafted with metal-edged scales, a scarred damite neithrel band connected by sharp steel chains, a carved pick, a multi-slotted black leather sword belt with silver inlays, a rune-inscribed utility pouch, a feyweave hip pouch festooned with large cambrinth beads, a tied receptacle, some fitted black leather fighting pants, a small knife and a pair of hardened-leather boots with silvered knee guards.

Leilond gets a polished platinum hair brush carved with curling vines of Elven ivy from inside a spherical variegated pouch crafted to resemble a dragon curled around Elanthia.

Leilond brushes his hair out.

Leilond puts his brush in a rune-inscribed utility pouch.

Jaedren says, "You people and your fixation on blackfire."

Raesh says, "I'd say I'd also like to see another TM spell or three in your book -- but no solid plans there."

Linett says, "Ugh. TM."

You are already listening to someone. You may wish to STOP LISTENING.
"TM is great!
You exclaim, "TM is great!"

Seldaren appears to be concentrating intently on something.


Katralyn asks, "Can we revisit bards having an affinity to water before fire?"

Linett pointedly ignores you.

Katralyn grins at Raesh.

Leilond says, "An AOE multishot like the Paladin Harm Horde would be awesome."

Leilond drools.


Ysselt says, "Well, it is. He is right."

Raesh says, "It's not really a big deal."

Linett grins at Ysselt.

Seldaren asks, "Isn't that what our new scream is?"


Raesh says, "It's just a thematic note."

Your mind hears Viktorael thinking, "Anyone have a hirdu bow or hiking items they'd sell?"




Raesh says, "That was part of defining how Bards interact with the elements vs warrior mages."



Belladulce nods to Ixien.

Leilond continues to instruct you in a lucid and serious manner on the fine art of Targeted Magic.




Your mind hears Elyssari thinking, "Bad Scandi. Again."


Jaedren says, "It could be worse. You could be Heart, instead. Nobody liked that kid."


Jaedren nods to Katralyn.

Katralyn says, "Yeah, but we're really much more attuned to fire than we are anything to do with water.. you know.. water is bad for instruments and the like."

Ysselt snickers.

Leilond laughs at Jaedren.

Raesh asks, "Didn't the monkey?"

Raesh asks, "Or am I mixing up my shows?"

Belladulce laughs!


Ysselt says, "No I think he did have a monkey."

Belladulce says, "I liked heart..."

Raesh says, "Water is tied to emotions."

Your mind hears Scandi thinking, "thats for you to buy everyone tarts "



Linett says, "I prefer water to fire too."

Katralyn blinks at Linett.

You say, "He did have a monkey."

Chuckling at your eagerness to learn, Leilond proceeds to show you some details of Targeted Magic that you immediately grasp.

Ysselt sighs deeply, looking very depressed.

Katralyn asks, "Ever seen a lute in the cold?"



Raesh says, "Helps you dull your emotions and focus."

With keen understanding and eloquence you secretly vow to master, Leilond easily illustrates a complicated aspect of Targeted Magic.

Ixien says, "I would love an icy spell."

Katralyn says, "Since dalu is a strings only thing."



Katralyn adds her name to the meeting list.



Raesh says, "Any how -- it's all early, I haven't even run them through proposals yet since I'm waiting until 3.0 is out so I can fit them into the gaps in the spellbook."

Belladulce says, "Even Titanic had bards. They played while they sunk."

Ixien says, "Excellent."

Ixien whispers, "OOC: Oh thanks... glad I got one that hadn't already been asked."

Leilond expounds patiently and clearly to you on some nuances of Targeted Magic that had heretofore escaped you.

Katralyn takes a sip of her rum.








Raesh says, "I have no idea if instrument quality does anything."

Belladulce eats some sufil sap.



Raesh says, "I haven't torn into that aspect of Bards yet."

Linett says, "Appraisal.. lots."


Ixien nods.

Katralyn says, "It does."


Raesh says, "Or more I've looked at it a little and decided to NOT dig into it yet at this time."



Jaedren says, "It raises the intial cost of purchase by several hundred platinum."

Katralyn says, "Improves what level you can play at."

Leilond adroitly schools you in the time-honored art of Targeted Magic.



Linett nods to Katralyn.



Katralyn nods to Linett.

Basgonif looks thoughtfully at Jaedren.

Ixien asks, "Improves playing level? You've tested?"

Katralyn says, "Yes."

Kodius says, "I did want to mention that when I get to writing Tinkering I hope to expand upon instrument stats a bit."

Belladulce ponders.

Ixien says, "Neat."

Raesh says, "It'll factor into the performance system discussed earlier."


Raesh asks, "How's that?"

Katralyn gets a beautifully polished platinum flute set with tiny star-shaped diamonds in each key from inside her thigh quiver.

You say, "Mechanically, I believe Vaeldriil said it functionally does nothing yet, but that doesn't mean it couldn't. Could tie into the new perform stuff well. Mo' money for mo'quality."

Linett peers quizzically at Katralyn.

Seldaren says, "I'll have to get someone's notes on that system."

Obvious exits: none.

Jaedren says, "I just want to see them all carving twigs to make whistles."




Linett gets a serpentine-necked birch khurmary painted with a festoon of white-green kelpbells from inside her embroidered case.

Linett carefully looks over her birch khurmary, turning it over from time to time so as to inspect every part of it.

Katralyn shows Linett her platinum flute.


Ysselt says, "Whistles are not my thing."


Basgonif gets a large brass whistle dangling from a beaded metal chain from inside her backpack.



Basgonif shows Jaedren her brass whistle.

Linett says to Katralyn, "These are very fine, in case you run into one. So you know."

Linett puts her khurmary in her embroidered case.

You say, "I wanna carve a sackbutt."

Basgonif puts her whistle in her backpack.

Jaedren says, "Well obviously, you don't live in Leth Deriel."

Jaedren pointedly ignores Ysselt.

Come on, we all went nuts over the whistle carver in Leth when that opened.

Katralyn says, "I think I have one in a vault somewhere."

Katralyn grins.

Linett nods to Katralyn.

Linett beams!

Linett gets some stained palmwood claves from inside her embroidered case.

Linett carefully looks over her palmwood claves, turning them over from time to time so as to inspect every part of them.


Linett puts her claves in her embroidered case.

Katralyn puts her flute in her thigh quiver.

Ysselt waves her hand distractedly.

Katralyn is next.


Jaedren says, "And by nuts, they mean that I made a mint selling those to the unsuspecting masses of Rivercrossing."




Katralyn says, "Speaking of Dalu and stringed instruments."

Basgonif chuckles.

Marjesha appears in a flash of light, looking slightly disoriented.




Linett bows to Marjesha.


Raesh says to Marjesha, "You're late, but the good news is we're having a second meeting."

Marjesha hails Linett with a superior nod.

Ixien grins at Marjesha.

Katralyn asks, "Are there plans to get us one-handed string instruments, or change that plan in DALU?"

l marj
You see Marjesha Usaek, a Kaldar.
Marjesha has an oval face, wide-set hazel eyes and a freckled nose. Her red hair is long and thick, and is worn braided in an elegant wreath held in place by a tiny geshiloira flower the color of winter snow. She has fair skin and a thin figure.
She is average height for a Kaldar.
She appears to be young.

She has faint scuffing to the right arm, faint scuffing to the right hand, faint scuffing to the left hand, tiny scratches to the chest, faint scuffing to the back.
She is in good shape.

She is wearing a steel chain balaclava, a silver kyanite gwethdesuan, a silver jadeite gwethdesuan, a wrinkled grey lambswool scarf sloppily hanging around the neck, a brown medium suede case, a rough burlap baldric, a mottled copper silk haversack, a leather traveler's backpack, a ragged black tunic, a steel ring lorica, an exquisite white silver armband, some steel chain vambraces, a crocodile-skin buckler, an exquisite bronze cuff, some lumium mail gloves, a twisted bronze and copper ring, a low-slung leather hip belt, a tight bundle, a green gem pouch, a pair of well tailored slate-grey trousers, some steel mail greaves, a small steel knife and an unadorned cherrywood parry stick.

Raesh says, "The bad news is that this one has an entrance fee."

Marjesha says, "Sorry! I'm late a lot."


Linett lets out a hearty cheer for Katralyn!

Raesh says, "No, and Yes."

Katralyn smiles at Linett.


Listening carefully as Leilond expounds on the finer details of Targeted Magic, you gradually see the light.


Marjesha says, "I'll give you Ixien's dragon ring."

Marjesha nods to Raesh.



Ixien asks, "I have a dragon ring?"


Marjesha says, "Not anymore."


Ysselt says, "This is a cash only establishment."


Ixien says, "Oh."

Marjesha ponders.


"I'll point out that one handed stringed instruments were only held up because of a lack of a RL example. If that's the case, I will make the Lyrissus eloel IRL
You say, "I'll point out that one handed stringed instruments were only held up because of a lack of a RL example. If that's the case, I will make the Lyrissus eloel IRL."


Linett adds her name to the meeting list.

Jaedren says, "Only men dressed in all black allowed."

Jaedren nods to Marjesha.

Katralyn says, "Wind harps also, I proposed ont he boards years ago."

Katralyn nods to you.


Leilond continues to instruct you in a lucid and serious manner on the fine art of Targeted Magic.





Jaedren says, "If you'd all train your TM, you wouldn't need a wussified weapon out while you played."

Raesh says, "I'll consider making a one handed stringed instrument based on a gnome design."

You grin at Jaedren.

Linett lets out a hearty cheer for Raesh!

Raesh says, "But you won't use an instrument to play spells in 3.0."


Raesh says, "Since they'll be, you know, spells."

Linett says, "Oh."

Linett blinks.


Raesh says, "So the need for a one handed stringed instrument will basically cease."

Katralyn asks, "So we're never going to play enchantes on instruments?"

Katralyn blinks at Raesh.


Linett says, "Well no, still good to study compendium and play instruments. One handed instruments are ... crucial."

You feel your Targeted Magic knowledge grow under Leilond's able and dedicated tutelage.






Seldaren says, "With all instrument skills combining, just use bones and txistu."

Jaedren says, "..."

Ixien nods to Linett.



Linett says, "Oh right, I forgot that sad.. instrument combining thing."


Katralyn frowns.

Raesh agrees with Jaedren.

Leilond says, "Yes, no spells on instruments."

Leilond grins at Katralyn.


Leilond adroitly schools you in the time-honored art of Targeted Magic.






Leilond whispers, "Hahahahaha"

Katralyn asks, "So basically, we're lower class magic casters?"

Katralyn frowns.




Leilond says, "Actually we're being upgraded to Warrior Mage and Moon Mage level."

Jaedren says, "Well, yeah."

Leilond says, "Magic primaries."

Seldaren raises an eyebrow.


Katralyn gazes at Leilond.

Jaedren says, "Ignore Leilond. He's just being a positive thinker."

You grin.



Leilond whistles a merry tune.

Ysselt exclaims, "Indeed. Only room for negativity here!"

Seldaren says, "Lore prime for life."

Raesh says, "You're no longer using a special snowflake of a system."

Seldaren folds his arms across his chest.

Ysselt waves her hand distractedly.

Carefully reviewing and synthesizing the lesson, Leilond imparts some of his Targeted Magic skill to you.



Raesh says, "Hint: Special snowflake systems are usually not a good thing if you want your guild to function."


Basgonif ponders thieves
"Also, I don't know if I'd say lower class. Maybe fewer options in the long run due to spell slot deployment, but the new stuff looks pretty rad

You say, "Also, I don't know if I'd say lower class. Maybe fewer options in the long run due to spell slot deployment, but the new stuff looks pretty rad."

Ixien says, "That's good, but the lack of musical flavor is a little sad."

Basgonif chuckles.


Seldaren points at Linett.


Raesh says, "There will still be a musical flavor to a number of the spells."

Basgonif glances at Linett.


Linett clears her throat.

Katralyn asks, "So how will all our musical lores work into powering us up?"


Linett taps a brass pin that reads "Trust me because I am not a Thief!" that she is wearing.


Leilond adroitly schools you in the time-honored art of Targeted Magic.

Raesh says, "You just won't have to try and parry with your viola."

Linett nods.

Katralyn asks, "Or they won't?"





Ixien says to Raesh, "Oh, well that's good."



Jaedren says, "This is where I insert another request for the Elkabongador."

Basgonif says, "No kabong."

Basgonif grins at Jaedren.

Jaedren says, "Elkabongador parries YOU."

Raesh says, "Musical Lores ==> Performance, Mustical theory ==> Bardic Lore."



Leilond says, "High Performance skill will let us perform better infront of people, which probably means bigger tips and more reputation."


Raesh says, "Performance ==> Ability to perform. See above discussion of the proposed system to make this useful."
"Perhaps instruments could just get tied in to the new performance system. That'd actually improve their functionality drastically. Bar crowds like drums, hoighty toighties like harps, etc.

Leilond laughs!

You say, "I actually think its neat we cant do enchantes while thumped, but I think the same should go for all magic casters that require a vocal/spoken component. So also, we need a spell."
Idea from the thumping: Silence spell: Stops all magic and roars, as well as talking and classes, like a castable silence bell. Kind of like a Banner, just different in how it stops things.
Please rephrase that command.

nod raesh
You nod to Raesh.


With startlingly clear words, Leilond explains some advanced concepts of Targeted Magic. You listen, amazed at how much you still have left to learn.

Jaedren gestures at you.

Ysselt says, "You're right that ws fun."



An agonizing pain fills you as you feel your tongue turn to powder in your mouth! Through a haze of uncertainty and loss, you realize that something you just said was very wrong.




Linett says to you, "I think it is neat but I think it shouldn't just be raw circles that make it happen and time is the same no mater what etc."



Marjesha pats you on the back.

Linett says, "I wondered two things but I will put it together with a comma so it is only one question! I wondered if sort of ethereal elemental instruments are possible, similar to a Shield Of Light spell, that we could summon and play then it would disappear, also I wondered if we could get instrument cases that functioned the way spellbook cases did, with turnable compartments."

You grin at Jaedren.

Marjesha reaches over and covers Leilond's ears with her hands.

With slow and patient words, Leilond shows you a complicated aspect of Targeted Magic that has always eluded your understanding.

Ixien nods to Raesh.


Seldaren says, "Looking forward to cacophony."



Raesh says, "100th circle ain't what it use to be and the idea that every guild gets an amazing 100th circle ability has always been rather flawed."
"It should work with mirror blades, but only if you throw them
You say, "It should work with mirror blades, but only if you throw them."




Leilond chortles softly at some secret joke.

Jaedren says, "They should all be taken away and turned into feats."

Jaedren nods to Raesh.


Raesh says, "Honestly it was more inspired by Elan."



Raesh says, "But Monkey Island is sorta like it too. I admit it's slightly silly."

Raesh says, "But I figure we're allowed a little bit of that side of Bard since most of the rest of the list isn't."




Leilond's able tutoring continues, in an effort to insure that you more fully understand Targeted Magic.

Ixien asks, "I hope that stylistically it won't come off completely silly?"



Jaedren reaches down and stretches out his arms to the skeletal monkey. The monkey chitters happily at Jaedren and bounds toward him, leaping into his arms. It reaches into its tiny backpack and produces a pad, which it lays across Jaedren's shoulder before taking a seat atop it.


Ixien says, "I mean, I'm in favor of silly as long as there are also options not to be silly."

Raesh says, "It also was just informed it might get renamed since it looks like Combat 3.0 stole the name Riposte from me."

Ixien nods.

You grin.

Raesh says, "Either way, I have the 100th circle spot reserved as a weapon feat."

Jaedren says, "Shouldn't use combat names for a lore guild, yo."

Kodius chuckles.

Raesh says, "Since I figure you should have at least one of them."

Jaedren shakes his fist at Raesh!

Linett leans forward and rests her chin in her hand, a thoughtful expression on her face.

Jaedren nods to Linett.

Raesh says, "I've got a few minor ideas for events."

Leilond grins.

Raesh says, "But as I mentioned Bardic lore isn't my strong point."

Linett says to Jaedren, "Seeing you is always an event."






Commending your thirst for knowledge, Leilond enlightens you on how to use the Targeted Magic skill.




Basgonif asks, "Finishing the ones that are going on?"

Jaedren says to Ysselt, "SEE."

Basgonif ducks her head.



Raesh says, "So if there are any particular aspects of bardic stuff you want explored this would be a good time to mention them so I can start researching."

Ysselt says to Jaedren, "She's just buttering you up."

Katralyn takes a sip of her rum.


Raesh asks Basgonif, "Which?"

Basgonif says, "The riverhaven guildleader."

Jaedren says to Raesh, "Can you bring back Coln? He was cool."



Ixien says, "It would be nice to know the favorite instruments for the various races."

Basgonif begins an eerie, warbling wail of despair.

Katralyn says, "Well I'm sure you'll be one to snap cast your pyre anyway..."


Katralyn nods to Leilond.



Leilond imparts some of his Targeted Magic knowledge to you, and you feel that the precepts are slowly beginning to sink in.




Raesh says, "So I'm thinking we're out of questions."


Ixien says, "I wanted to know about enchanting for Bards."

Linett asks, "When is our next bard meeting?"


Ixien asks, "I know each guild gets its own sigil, which means special enchantments made only by that guild?"

Raesh says, "And I brought a bunch of you up here by hand so I'll have to return the late comers manually -- the rest of you can leave by the door."


Jaedren says, "Special sigils made/harvested only by that guild."

Linett stands up.


With startlingly clear words, Leilond explains some advanced concepts of Targeted Magic. You listen, amazed at how much you still have left to learn.



Katralyn says, "Thank you again for answering the questions."

Katralyn smiles at Raesh.

Raesh says to Linett, "When I schedule it? I doubt it will be before Simucon."

Ixien says, "Right. So I wondered what types of bard-only enchantments there might be."

Linett glances at Jaedren.




Kodius asks, "What kind of bard-only enchantments would you like to see?"

Jaedren says, "That's dirty."

Basgonif exclaims, "Bloody cushions!"

You are deeply impressed by the insight with which Leilond continues to initiate you into the art of Targeted Magic.

Meigs says, "Bards, there's always one more... question, drink, song, what it is varies, but there's always one more."

Kodius says, "Generally speaking they would be elemental and musical in nature."

Leilond grins at you.


Linett says to Meigs, "Cushions."


Ixien says, "Well, I'd like to see stuff based on time, personally. Like, the ability to do things faster but sloppier, or slower but with better results."

Basgonif winks at Raesh.

You say, "Very bardly."

Ysselt says to you, "You do that just fine on your own."

Leilond demonstrates the science of Targeted Magic, extolling its virtues, techniques, and uses at some length.

Suddenly, a rising wail fills the air. Glancing up, you barely have time to glimpse a massive boulder falling from the sky before...
