green
like the grass of Atlantis. A golden flower decorates her long black

You laugh.
You say in xyllic:
     I told Umbra and Gingali...
> Xylia whispers in xyllic:

you
are
     much more primitive than i thought
You say in xyllic:
     ...that Atlantis Lesser Mages are not welcome here.
> Quinix says in xyllic:
     I like Umbra, she was quite pleasent to me
Quinix giggles happily.
You say to Quinix in xyllic:
     Umbra is pleasant but foolish.
> Xylia whispers in xyllic:

     If I judged people by how foolish they are I would nae have any
friends
     at tall
You say to Xylia in xyllic:
     Primitive? You should be thankful that I spare your worthless life.
> Quinix says in xyllic:

temples
     from time to time.

> Quinix pouts.
Quinix says in xyllic:
     Why nae?
You say to Xylia in xyllic:
     You get it back after the fine is paid, my dear.
> Xylia whispers to you in xyllic:

     Because its a holy place of study and devotion, and we dont need
     visitors.

> Quinix says in xyllic:
     Phooie
You grin teasingly at Xylia.
> Xylia whispers to you in xyllic:

You say to Xylia in xyllic:
     My dear, if you ever attack me you are dead.
> Quinix says in xyllic:
     This is somewhat childish, ye two should be above this
Xylia whispers in xyllic:
     we can stay on a higher level where we still are able to talk, or
we
     just drop to the right of blood

You smirk.
Xylia whispers in xyllic:
     i can't
You say in xyllic:
     after all, your guild is rich.
You look much stronger than Xylia.
You look much more agile than Xylia.
You look healthier than Xylia.

You put a black curved blade into the backpack.

Xylia whispers in xyllic:
     i think, we reached a point where we repeat us
You agree with Xylia.
You say in xyllic:
     I believe some of your lesser spells even work without staff...
You say in xyllic:
     so you will survive.
You grin wryly at Xylia.
Xylia whispers in xyllic:
     yes, want another feeblemind?
You laugh.
You say in xyllic:
     it didnt help you much, isnt it?
Xylia whispers in xyllic:
     it is not for winning a fight
You raise an eyebrow amusedly.
Xylia whispers in xyllic:
     it has a different more subtile purpose
Xylia whispers in xyllic:
     so all is said and done
You nod solemnly.
Xylia whispers in xyllic:
     be happy with my stolen magic symbol
You say in xyllic:
     my regards to Felagund. Tell him to give you one of my wands
Xylia whispers in xyllic:
     no, i am not your messenger
You shrug slightly.
You say in xyllic:
     Then let it be.
Xylia whispers in xyllic:
     if i would have wanted to put the guild into this, then i had done
so
You say in xyllic:
     well, if I had wanted to kill you, I could have done so.
You say in xyllic:
     before your guild could help.

Xylia whispers in xyllic:
     well, if you had a honor worth a copper then you would have
returned
the
     staff.
Quinix says in xyllic:
     Aye, and ye both could be somewhat friends, but I nae think any of
it
is
     going to happen
Quinix shrugs helplessly.
You say in xyllic:
     No, you must pay your fines.
Quinix says in xyllic:
     Guild hatred is so....
Quinix scratches his head.
You say to Quinix in xyllic:
     They hate us, we just dont care for them.
You say to Quinix in xyllic:
     This fairy lately send me a tell threatening to kill me.
Xylia says to Quinix in xyllic:
     there was a time where i though , she would be a friend of mine, 
only
a
     few years ago
You say to Xylia in xyllic:
     Well, I still have friends in your guild.
Quinix says in xyllic:
     Aye, but as long as ye think in terms of us and them there will
always
     be things such as this happening
You say to Xylia in xyllic:
     But they didnt threaten to kill me.
Xylia whispers to you in xyllic:
     i have something else, i can give for my staff
You start to concentrate upon the spell.
You ask Xylia in xyllic:
     Oh...if its worth 50 plats.. maybe.
Xylia whispers in xyllic:
     it is my second most valuable item, and some wont sell it at all

Zacharyas looks at the runic staff.
Xylia whispers in xyllic:
     but i doubt you understand its value
You curiously raise your eyebrow at Xylia.
Xylia looks at the amulet of resistance.
Xylia whispers in xyllic:
     it is my amulet, made from an eye of a beholder
Your eyes start to flicker for a moment.
You grin amusedly.
Quinix says in xyllic:
     Wow
You say to Xylia in xyllic:
     Let me see it.
Xylia looks at the amulet of resistance.
Xylia shows you an amulet of resistance:
A fine made silver amulet. An unfamiliar big eye is handled with the
pendant. The eye is shielded with translucent ground and looks very
ugly.
It makes you shiver, staring at this dead sight.
It is in prime condition.

You scratch your head.
Xylia whispers in xyllic:
     i think all you want is to give some pain to me
You say to Xylia in xyllic:
     No learning effect without pain.
Xylia whispers in xyllic:
     this is all that i would regret of having given away
You say to Xylia in xyllic:
     Well, I accept it. But next time the fine will be much higher.
You will now accept all items by default.
Xylia whispers in xyllic:
     what do you mean with next time? next time we meet, or next time
you
     find me here?
Quinix says in xyllic:
     This is nae how I pictured it turning out
You say in xyllic:
     next time you trespass here.
Xylia whispers in xyllic:
     you mean the graveyard?
You say in xyllic:
     I dont care meeting mages on neutral ground.
You nod solemnly to Xylia.
You say in xyllic:
     the graveyard.. but better stay out of Murgorons temple, too.
> Xylia whispers in xyllic:
     the temple?
You nod solemnly.
> Xylia whispers in xyllic:
     which temple?
You point south.
> Quinix says in xyllic:
     Murgoron?
> Quinix says in xyllic:
     Nae familar with that name
You say in xyllic:
     you should be, as historian.
> Xylia whispers in xyllic:
     you mean: i shall never be able to get a new wand again? Is this
fair?
Quinix smiles at you.
> Quinix says in xyllic:
     I never claimed to be a great historian
Xylia whispers to you in xyllic:
     i am not making a deal with your whole rotten guild
You laugh amusedly at Xylia.
You say in xyllic:
     They won't deal with the likes of you anyway.
You say in xyllic:
     well, lets get over with it now?
You twiddle your thumbs.
> Xylia whispers in xyllic:
     sure
You say in xyllic:
     I want to go back to my studies.
> Quinix says to Xylia in xyllic:
     Allow me to pay the fine M'Lady, tis the least I could do
Quinix smiles at Xylia.
> Xylia whispers in xyllic:
     and if i should get my hands on one of your beloved magic items,
don't
     expect me to return them for free
Quinix says in xyllic:
     Ye nae has to give up that lovely necklace
Xylia removes an amulet of resistance.
You grin amusedly at Xylia.
> Xylia drops an amulet of resistance.
Quinix sighs deeply.

You scratch your head.

Xylia wields a runic staff in her right hand and left hand.

Quinix says in xyllic:
     I'm disapointed in this situation
You wave cutely.
Xylia whispers in xyllic:
     you still owe me a wand, this i will keep in mind
You say in xyllic:
     The AMs owed me 6, now its one down.
Xylia whispers in xyllic:
     no, i will tell you , when the time is right
You say to Xylia in xyllic:
     You owe me your life, dear.
You wave cutely.

You are on a large open place in the ruined town. You can see all sorts
of
buildings, most of them completely destroyed, around it. In the middle
is a
well. There is a large road leading from the north directly towards a
strange temple to the south. A small road leads west.
There are four obvious exits: east, northeast, southeast, west.
Zacharyas flaps in.

> A small glittering butterfly flutters in, tickles your nose and
drops a thought of Xylia directly into your mind:

          this i will remember too

With a friendly giggle it flutters away.
