Lack of my English skills makes some discussions pretty monotonous  :-\

[TOWER] Ehlin: to grow up quickly i need some company after all.. and some of my usual companions have joined the forces of Entropy
[TOWER] Ehlin: damnation on their heads
[TOWER] Ehlin: i think Tower should open a branch quarters at some time..
[TOWER] Someone: whay for?
[TOWER] Ehlin: to accept warrior types to do some menial tasks for us
[TOWER] Goris: heh, you could just hire them for money as i did in hard times
[TOWER] Ehlin: having your personal trained warrior at hand can be better then a hireling
[TOWER] Goris: it is impossible
[TOWER] Ehlin: they will know at least something about magic you use and won't ask stupid questions
[TOWER] Ehlin: they won't strike you in the back if someone offers them more
[TOWER] Ehlin: they won't join brigand groups like Entropy and Takhisis
[TOWER] Goris: Ehlin...
[TOWER] Ehlin: i understand what is against that idea
[TOWER] Goris: you think we are too weak to hold our foes, do not you?
[TOWER] Ehlin: but i am going to think on that
[TOWER] Ehlin: i do not think so
[TOWER] Ehlin: mages excel at single tasks
[TOWER] Someone: all we need is just few hirelings that will do dirty work some time
[TOWER] Ehlin: if i am to hunt down and kill our opponent's leader
[TOWER] Ehlin: i will do that
[TOWER] Ehlin: but the dirty work - yes, we need someone for that
[TOWER] Ehlin: and sometimes you need a reliable person
[TOWER] Ehlin: ... somehow.. undead animation spells come to mind
[TOWER] Ehlin: maybe just hire some minotaurs.. kill them..
[TOWER] Ehlin: and reanimate
[TOWER] Goris: Ehlin!
[TOWER] Ehlin: full devotion, no stupid questions
[TOWER] Goris: you proposing to slay minotaurs who trust us and reanimate them
[TOWER] Ehlin: i propose to kill some hirelings
[TOWER] Goris: i agree we should do this with our enemies, but not with our allies
[TOWER] Ehlin: they are selling their lives for money after all
[TOWER] Darcan: If they will be good minions i vote for reanimate
[TOWER] Goris: they are not selling their lives completely
[TOWER] Ehlin: there is some misunderstanding
[TOWER] Ehlin: when you hire them
[TOWER] Ehlin: they vow to protect you with their lives
[TOWER] Ehlin: but often on battlefield
[TOWER] Goris: they agree just to fight for us and MAYBE die!
[TOWER] Ehlin: fear of death makes them forget their vows
[TOWER] Goris: eh,?seems you do not know minotaurs
[TOWER] Ehlin: i think i've come up with an idea that will satisfy you
[TOWER] Ehlin: you say that they agree that they have a 'chance' to die
[TOWER] Ehlin: right?
[TOWER] Someone: aye
[TOWER] Ehlin: pay for ten hirelings
[TOWER] Ehlin: randomly choose and kill three of them
[TOWER] Ehlin: release the others with their hard-earned gold
[TOWER] Ehlin: reanimate the remaining three
[TOWER] Goris: nah
[TOWER] Goris: that is betraying
[TOWER] Ehlin: they will know their chances
[TOWER] Goris: from our side
[TOWER] Goris: if they will know-then ok
[TOWER] Ehlin: i can even tell them openly about their fate
[TOWER] Ehlin: lust for gold just 'does' things to people
[TOWER] Goris: but neverthless this converstaion leads to nothing, cos neither you nor me can reanimate dead
[TOWER] Ehlin: that is the question of training, no more
[TOWER] Goris: question of training?what do you mean by "training"?
[TOWER] Ehlin: you can learn any spell eventually, if you work really hard for it
[TOWER] Goris: indeed, i am seeking possibilities for us to learn other schools of magic, but got nothing now, have spoke with Solinari, he told me that he
[TOWER] Goris: doth not know the way do this then i decided to find Astinus
[TOWER] Goris: and speak with him, but seems he left the world, cos neither Gods nor mortals know about his placement now
[TOWER] Ehlin: You have prayed for the Three Moons.. that could be a mistake
[TOWER] Goris: eh?
[TOWER] Ehlin: despite they're brothers, they still keep secrets from each other
[TOWER] Ehlin: there are other kinds of magic besides that granted to us by the moons
[TOWER] Goris: i have prayed only for Solinari
[TOWER] Ehlin: and i see no reason to deny its existance nor to ignore it in our training
[TOWER] Ehlin: Wild magic
[TOWER] Ehlin: magic of nature
[TOWER] Goris: what are you speaking about?
[TOWER] Goris: hmmm, sounds interesting
[TOWER] Ehlin: it brings power, yet nobody can limit you
[TOWER] Ehlin: like the Moons do
[TOWER] Ehlin: and there are still other ways of power left in the world
[TOWER] Ehlin: have you ever thought..
[TOWER] Someone: wait please
[TOWER] Ehlin: I am going to visit my grove for some meditation, but i want to tell you this before leaving
[TOWER] Ehlin: Gods themselves, are a powerful mages
[TOWER] Someone: but how could we use that powers?
[TOWER] Someone: nature and so on?
[TOWER] Ehlin: they control powers beyound our imagination
[TOWER] Ehlin: but they do not rely on Moons, it is obvious
[TOWER] Ehlin: Moons themselves are the gods
[TOWER] Ehlin: then what is 'their' source of power?
[TOWER] Someone: Chaos granted it to them
[TOWER] Ehlin: i think that question deserves to be investigated
[TOWER] Ehlin: Chaos is gone for long
[TOWER] Someone: but his power is left
[TOWER] Ehlin: and Gods still exist
[TOWER] Ehlin: yes, and i believe it is possible to draw it for our own uses
[TOWER] Someone: how?
[TOWER] Ehlin: i am working on it
[TOWER] Someone: lets meet in Tower,i shall give you the mask
[TOWER] Ehlin: i won't stay here for long now, my belongings are packed already
