Hearthstone Manor

The following is a series of log snips from the Hearthstone Manor porch.

Back in its heyday, Hearthstone was quite the gathering spot for characters from all walks of life, from legends to newbies, from Liaboites to Lornanites, from drunken dwarves to arrogant Faendryl. It was the best place to go if you wanted to socialize, have a drink, discuss the latest happenings, meet up with friends, talk religion or politics, or rub elbows with the famous.

I began going to Hearthstone fairly early on in my playing days because I'd discovered there were almost always people hanging out there. So when I'd find myself at lose ends with nothing specific I wanted to do and no close friends in the game at the moment, I'd head to HS knowing I'd have the chance to either run into people I knew or have the opportunity to get to know new people I hadn't met yet.

I still miss those days.

Roelon shows you a blackworked linen satchel, which he is holding in his right hand. This pale linen satchel has been embroidered in an elaborate design. In the center of the design is a grotesque humanoid figure with the head of a thrak, the feet of a bear, and arms formed of ivy. The ivy trails out to form stylized runes of protection.

You blink at Roelon.

Roelon chuckles.

You exclaim, "What in the name of the Arkati is that?!"

Roelon whispers, "was in an illoke shaman box"

Roelon says, "Dantrotic as a child i think"

Roelon nods to you.

You laugh out loud!

You nod to Roelon.

Roelon shows Shadowkatt his linen satchel.

Roelon snickers.

Shadowkatt laughs!

I had to leave the porch for a bit, and while I was gone these thoughts were on the amulet...

You hear the faint thoughts of Dantrotic echo in your mind: "If anyone has any questions about the recently published Turamzyrrian History, The Turamzyrrian Empire, The Barony of Jantalar, or the like, feel free to ask them to me. I will not dignify questions that are insulting, from people with narrow scopes of reality."

You hear the faint thoughts of Titaniia echo in your mind: "What Dantrotic means ta say is that he will happily try ta make folks believe a bunch of lies tilted towards makin them side 'gainst their fellow townsfolk should we hafta defend ourselves 'gainst th' sniveling excuse fer a baron that kicked him outta Jantalar."

You hear your own faint thoughts echoing in your head: "Heh, you have it right Titaniia."

You hear the faint thoughts of Dantrotic echo in your mind: "I was wondering when you would peep in with an agreement. You make an excelent Yes Woman."

I went back to the porch and there was a lot of other talk, including Dantrotic spouting incorrect information about Solhaven and Vornavis as usual...

Dantrotic says, "Danay is just a Titaniia's Yes Woman, don't make her feel bad."

You laugh out loud!

Dantrotic pokes Morandas in the ribs.

Titaniia asks, "ooo..is that th' insult of th' day?"

You say, "That is the funniest thing you ever said Dantrotic."

Morandas starts chuckling at you!

Titaniia asks, "Danay, didja know you gotta does what I say now?"

Morandas says, "We agree on something"

You say, "That will be the day."

Volora says, "no, no"

Volora taps you lightly on the shoulder.

You peer quizzically at Volora.

Volora says, "you are supposed to say "Yes woman" and smile"

Volora nods to you.

Volora beams happily at you!

You laugh out loud!

Volora says, "try with me"

Volora moves to stand in front of Titaniia.

Volora says, "Tell me to do something"

Volora nods to Titaniia.

You grin at Volora.

Titaniia says, "Slap Dantrotic"

Titaniia nods to Volora.

Volora hauls off and slaps Dantrotic up'side his head!

You cackle!

Volora snickers.

Shadowkatt laughs!

Drexla says, "You know...maybe we'll get lucky, and Dantrotic will be recalled, and sent to some bustling place like...."

Drexla says, "Krinklehorn"

Drexla whistles tunelessly to herself.

You chuckle at Drexla.

Bunch of other stuff happened and then we got back to the Yes Woman thing...

Dantrotic says, "Yes, Danay, he went to a place without "Yes Women" where he is given the respect he deserves, and there are no self centered people there."

You grin at Dantrotic.

Titaniia says, "Sounds like a good place. You should go there."

Titaniia nods to Dantrotic.

Drexla snickers.

You say, "Dantrotic, you obviously do not know me if you think I am a yes anything."

You say, "Ask Katt."

Dantrotic says, "You are Danay. You always chime in after people to agree with them."

Dantrotic says, "You have no convicitions of your own."

Shadowkatt laughs!

You laugh out loud!

Shadowkatt asks, "Hear that Danay?"

Slorne laughs!

Drexla laughs!

Shadowkatt cackles!

Welan says, "Probably true........after all......everyone up here thinks your a nuisence Dantrotic....and I bet Danay agrees.... she must be a yes person.....there's your evidence right there"

You laugh out loud!

Titaniia nods to Welan.

You nod to Welan.

6/6/00

There was an earthquake and reports of a couple undead creatures sighted near HS, so was tossing up a few spells...this was supposed to be 310, not 210...

You gesture.
A pall of silence settles over you.

Setzier glances at you.

You roll your eyes.

Armaxis glances at you.

Setzier asks, "Do that often?"

Rawen grins at you.

Setzier starts chuckling at you!

Haelra just tickled you.

You hold up your hand and tilt it side to side in a so-so gesture.

People on the net and coming up to the porch were talking about undead attacking...

[Hearthstone, Front Porch]
Airy and open, the porch is enclosed by smooth, freshly painted white modwir up to a height of about four feet. As you ponder the sky-blue color of the ceiling and a lacework of deep green ivy that crisscrosses the open space between posts, the hubbub of the world beyond quickly fades away. Rocking chairs of various sizes are an inviting sight, and an elegant marble arch provides a tantalizing view of the splendors inside the old manor. You also see a smeared scroll, a scratched steel box, some woth flower, a black aromatic cigar, some aloeas stem, some aloeas stem, an elegant green marble arch, the porch steps, a doorman and a wooden sign.
Also here: Rawen, Lord Felhawk, Aranrhod, Lord Arianiss, Lady Brinnea, Scoots, Lady Haelra

You say, "Guess I will go take a look."

* Jubuls just bit the dust!

You tighten your grip on your eonake falchion.

You say, "er..."

You say, "If they are killing Jubuls and Zodier..."

You say, "Perhaps I should not look."

You grin.

Rawen nods to you.

Zulei nods to you.

Rawen chuckles.

You exclaim, "But cannot help it!"

You say, "I have to go see."

Rawen just tried to pull you towards her!

Rawen says, "Last time I said that, I died"

You whistle tunelessly to yourself, remembering days past.

You glance at the porch steps.

You hug Rawen.

Rawen hugs you.

You say, "Curiosity killed the cleric."

You wink at Rawen.

>go step

A bit later...

[Hearthstone, Courtyard]
Before you stands a grand old manor, framed by huge willows to the east and west. The elegant trees sway gently, dappling the cobblestone courtyard with ever-shifting patterns of light and dark. Snippets of conversation drift away from the long porch stretching along the full width of the great old house, as several guests enjoy the hospitality and ambience of this fine hideaway. You also see the Syrna disk, the porch steps and a hollow tree stump.
Also here: Lord Zodier, Nola, Dyxie, Ounslaught, Kriztian, Lady Sassee, Lord Scheindlin, Georgias, Tsalaroth, Lady Kali, Juagere, Lady Syrna, Lord Durason, Lady Arathorne, Spaner, a stunned Exelint who is kneeling, a stunned Lord Arcken who is kneeling, Lord Amadeus, Lady Evialla, Lord Nikai, Qurn, a stunned Lord Dreinin who is kneeling

Dreinin struggles against the fear!
FS: 120 - FD: 63 + FvP: 31 + d100(L): 90 = 178
Warding failed!
Dreinin remains huddled on the ground in a spastic, jittering heap!

Arcken struggles against the fear!
FS: 183 - FD: 120 + FvP: 30 + d100(L): 41 = 134
Warding failed!
Arcken cries out in sheer terror!

Kali asks, "Wheres that coming from?"

Kali shudders.

Kali surveys the area.

You say, "Undead ran through here."

You say, "Now they are all gibbering and I cannot leave."

(I had made a sanctuary to protect them while feared)

Kali rubs her chin thoughtfully.

You tap your foot impatiently.

Amadeus says, "Evil, evil, evil..."

Kali says, "Oh that's just Setzier."

Amadeus nods to Kali.

You chuckle at Kali.

Kali exclaims, "He's not that scary!"

Georgias flinches.

You hear the voice of Setzier say, "Boo."

Setzier suddenly fades into view.

Setzier leans back.

[Hearthstone, Front Porch]
Airy and open, the porch is enclosed by smooth, freshly painted white modwir up to a height of about four feet. As you ponder the sky-blue color of the ceiling and a lacework of deep green ivy that crisscrosses the open space between posts, the hubbub of the world beyond quickly fades away. Rocking chairs of various sizes are an inviting sight, and an elegant marble arch provides a tantalizing view of the splendors inside the old manor.

Success! Drexla falls to the ground!

Harun whispers, "now THAT was a comebacker!"

Blades had been killed by a "cute little girl" after taunting her. I refused to raise him and I believe he declined Xeldria's help (I had to leave for a few minutes).

You hear the ghostly voice of Blades say, "because i have patience enough not to be touched by these Liabo Heathens"

Arianiss gazes up into the heavens.

Arianiss gestures and utters a phrase of magic.

The spirit of Blades mutters, complaining bitterly about his state of affairs.

You say, "Looks like Arianiss is going to attempt it."

Titaniia says, "I try."

Arianiss gestures at Blades. The body of Blades glows with an intense white light, which soon dissipates.

Arianiss convulses in excruciating pain, leaving him shaking uncontrollably!

... 15 points of damage!
Hard jolt knocks Arianiss back on his heels.
He is stunned!
Arianiss suddenly looks very drained.

You hear the ghostly voice of Blades say, "any lil kid that steps on dis porch after midnight, is killed"

Xeldria stares off into space.

Merryleon blinks at Arianiss.

Explaining to Tani what happened...

Blades says, "she was a demon and i proved it to myself"

You say, "There was something very strange about her. She was not really a little girl."

Blades says, "yes all little girls can summon lightnin from the sky"

Blades says, "its a given trait around here"

Blades rolls his eyes.

Titaniia stares at Blades.

You say, "Just like I can be killed by a wraith."

You stare at nothing in particular.

Xeldria asks, "Wraiths, what wraiths?"

Xeldria gazes in wonder at her surroundings.

You lean on Xeldria.

Xeldria says, "I haven seen a wraith in weeks.. that's right."

Xeldria nods.

You cackle!

You nod to Xeldria.

You say, "I definitely did not see a wraith casting lightning at me."

You nod to Xeldria.

Xeldria nods to you.

Xeldria says, "Yep, didn't see my shield just happen to be in my cloak when I needed it."

Xeldria gazes in wonder at her surroundings.

Xeldria leans against an elegant green marble arch.

You say, "Though if I had...and it had killed me."

You say, "I did not see Dantrotic come in and ask what killed me and then sense his death moments after we left."

You cackle!

Xeldria laughs!

Danay on the art of relaxing...

[Hearthstone, Front Porch]
Airy and open, the porch is enclosed by smooth, freshly painted white modwir up to a height of about four feet. As you ponder the sky-blue color of the ceiling and a lacework of deep green ivy that crisscrosses the open space between posts, the hubbub of the world beyond quickly fades away. Rocking chairs of various sizes are an inviting sight, and an elegant marble arch provides a tantalizing view of the splendors inside the old manor. You also see the Kierston disk, some wolifrew lichen, some haphip root, some woth flower, a large sack, a heavy backpack, a small golden Paupers pin, a doorman, the porch steps and an elegant green marble arch.
Also here: Lady Mistytwilight who is seated, Marikhen, Mystyk, Chian who is lying down, Kierston, Dgry who is seated, Lord Cambit who is seated, Wyseth, Lord Howshyll who is seated, Peraxies who is seated, Lord Pelendur who is seated

You lean back.

(Danay crosses her legs at the ankle)

You say, "I know a very adept pickpocket who is a cleric."

You notice Dgry reach into Mistytwilight's pockets.

You say, "Unfortunately it is not me."

You snap your fingers.

Pelendur says, "It is not Dgry either."

Pelendur raises his obscure scroll and gestures.
Nothing happens.

Mistytwilight stares at Pelendur.

Pelendur raises his obscure scroll and gestures.
Sparks begin to fly between the obscure scroll and Pelendur's fingers.
With a sudden burst of enthusiasm, the sparks jump into Pelendur's hand and he seems to glow with power.

You hear the voice of Mistytwilight exclaim, "Lemme alone ya big monk!"

You grin.

You hear the voice of Mistytwilight exclaim, "Danay, help!"

(Pelendur shifts his eyes to Danay.)

Pelendur gestures at you.
Pelendur hurls a surge of electricity at you, causing a crackling halo of static to swirl about your head, standing all your hair straight on end. How silly!

You hear someone laugh.

You exclaim, "Ack!"

Pelendur smirks.

Mistytwilight comes out of hiding.
Mistytwilight rolls around on the ground laughing hysterically!

You exclaim, "Oh you ask for help and then laugh?!"

Mistytwilight points at you.

Mistytwilight rolls around on the ground laughing hysterically!

Pelendur snickers.

Pelendur is admiring you.

You glance at Pelendur.

Mistytwilight smiles sweetly, trying hard not to giggle.

Mistytwilight glances at you.

Mistytwilight clasps her hand over her mouth.

You mutter no-respect.

(Danay tries to grab the scroll from Pelendur)

(Pelendur pulls desperately at his scroll.)

You try to pull Pelendur towards you.

Pelendur drops an obscure scroll.

You pick up an obscure scroll.

Pelendur mutters under his breath.

You notice Mistytwilight slip into a hiding place.

It takes you a moment to focus on the obscure scroll.
On the obscure scroll you see
Minor Shock (901),
Elemental Deflection (507).

You hear someone whining.

You bite your lip.

You raise the obscure scroll and gesture to invoke the Minor Shock spell.
[ROLL: 61 + MOD: -30 + SK: 78 - SP_LEV: 1 = 108]
Sparks begin to fly between the obscure scroll and your fingers.
With a sudden burst of enthusiasm, the sparks jump into your hand and a charged feeling surrounds you.

Pelendur points at Mistytwilight, ruining her hiding place.

You point at Mistytwilight.

Mistytwilight looks around for a moment before sighing disappointedly.

You gesture at Mistytwilight.
You hurl a surge of electricity at Mistytwilight, causing a crackling halo of static to swirl about her head, standing all her hair straight on end. How silly!

Mistytwilight flails her arms about.

Mistytwilight stares at you.

You snicker.

Mistytwilight wails!

You exclaim, "Now THAT is funny!"

Pelendur says, "You two could start a new hair fashion for the Amazons."

Pelendur nods to Mistytwilight.

Pelendur nods to you.

You stare at Pelendur.

Mistytwilight stares at Pelendur.

[Hearthstone, Front Porch]
Airy and open, the porch is enclosed by smooth, freshly painted white modwir up to a height of about four feet. As you ponder the sky-blue color of the ceiling and a lacework of deep green ivy that crisscrosses the open space between posts, the hubbub of the world beyond quickly fades away. Rocking chairs of various sizes are an inviting sight, and an elegant marble arch provides a tantalizing view of the splendors inside the old manor. You also see some green trousers, some lavender socks, a brown frog who is sitting, a doorman, the porch steps and an elegant green marble arch.
