The Skeleton and the Banshee

This log is from 10/25/97. After the incident, I realized that it made zero sense for Ronan to be cursing someone for slaying an undead creature, but it was hilarious at the time it was happening.

>wear ringYou slide the ring on your finger.
Suddenly your surroundings shift...

[Town Square, SE]
Traffic swarms off in all directions here, some going to the large intersection with South Ring Road, others crisscrossing the square via the bazaar. Among the faces here, you see women carrying neatly tied parcels, men with coils of rope slung over their arms, and children amusing themselves with cleverly made toys and whistles. You also see a crystal amulet, the town constable, a crystal amulet, the Ktank disk, the Scabbed disk, the Nephrenia disk, a rotting skeleton, a battered steel trunk, an iron-bound fel trunk and the general store.
Also here: Ounslaught, Trumkin, Lady Peanutcm, Lord Ktank, Lord Barachado, Lord Sylverlock, Scabbed, Malizan, Elizzar, Lady Chisandra, Kiethe, a stunned Nagrad, Emleth, Lady Nephrenia, Eardog
Obvious paths: north, south, west, northwest.

You feel a little pulse in the ring.

>A rotting skeleton mumbles something under its breath.

>Elizzar asks, "What the!?"

>Trumkin exclaims, "Eeeeep! Skelleton!"

Nephrenia asks, "Skeleton wont be harming anything right?"

You glance at a rotting skeleton.

>Nephrenia peers quizzically at a rotting skeleton.

>A rotting skeleton shakes its head.

>Elizzar says, "Skellie say something."

>Elizzar's jaw drops.

>You hear the voice of Trumkin exclaim, "Don't hurt me, boney!"

>Nephrenia smiles at the rotting skeleton.

>You ask, "What are you doing here?"

>You stare at a rotting skeleton.

The town constable heads west.

Scabbed says, "naw, hes a nice skeleton"

Eardog gazes in amazement at a rotting skeleton.

A rotting skeleton smirks.

Sylverlock chuckles.

Elizzar says, "That is one......strange.....skeleton....."

A rotting skeleton just went north.

You ask, "The constable does not even do anything?"

You flail your arms about.

Sylverlock says, "This seems to be a.. lost soul."

n[Town Square, East]
You stand in the center of a broad plaza nearer the commercial area of the bazaar. Along the eastern perimeter of this square is the impressive facade of the slate-roofed Moot Hall, where the citizens of Wehnimer's Landing hold various official, religious and social functions. Facing the square are many of the town's more prosperous and fashionable shops. You also see a large wooden barrel.
Also here: Lady Chisandra
Obvious paths: north, south, east, west.

[Town Square, West]
Ahead of you, in the midst of the square, stretches the cobblestoned main bazaar, its serpentine lanes abuzz with traders hawking their wares, bartering, and bickering. The freewheeling vendors in the bazaar provide a welcome alternative to the stylish and expensive merchants whose shops border the square. Before you is the gilded but peeling wood facade of the First Elanith Secure Bank. You also see the Peche disk.
Also here: Tirany, Valdrak, Xoctivia, Lord Tymliko, Lord Dharmaine, Lady Mxenna, Wheeller, Peche, Lady Heelena, Lady Koiyauna
Obvious paths: north, south, east, west.

A rotting skeleton just arrived.

A rotting skeleton just went south.

Valdrak blinks.

[Town Square, SW]
This corner of the square seems somewhat subdued. Townsfolk pass through on their way to the shops, the bazaar, or the main well at the center of the square. Others hurry past, anxious to get home or go on about their business. You also see the Lrik disk, the Shaynel disk, some leg greaves, some burnished arm greaves, a rotting fel strongbox, the Bouchawoo disk, the Deatherson disk, a plainly wrapped package, some manna bread, a rotting haon strongbox, a sturdy iron coffer, a badly damaged thanot box, a moldy orange tart, some light leather, a belt pouch and a cobblestone walkway leading up to a wrought-iron gate.

Obvious paths: north, east, west, northeast.

This was back before the park was built and everyone gathered in TSSW for mass spells.

Alydra says, "a rotting skeleton just went west everyone."

w[Wehnimer's, Sindar Lane]
In sudden contrast to the relative calm of the surrounding streets, you are confronted with a welter of discordant sounds. The clanging of metal striking metal, the hissing of air, the roaring of intense fire, the gruff voice bellowing out orders all inform you before you even glance up that you have come to Aznell's Armory. A metal sign hangs above the doorway. You also see a large prominent sign.
Also here: Malizan
Obvious paths: east, west.

Some more wandering to try and find the skeleton.

[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 Ktank disk, the Galaed disk, the Nephrenia disk, the Maji disk, the Henrrick disk, a rotting skeleton, the Baaboo disk, the Suprie disk, an iron-bound haon strongbox, a simple thanot box, a badly damaged wooden box, an engraved haon trunk, a doorman, an elegant green marble arch and the porch steps.

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 Allyria disk, the Galaed disk, a raven that is flying around, the Maji disk, some dwarven stout, an enruned maoral chest, a falcon, a black leather sheath, a silvery brocade sheath, some manna bread, a bent coin, a silver wand, a soft lavender tunic, some light leather, some blue pants, a large sack, a shiny medallion, a dented earring, a shiny bracelet, an iron-bound haon strongbox, a badly damaged wooden box, a doorman, an elegant green marble arch and the porch steps.
