Title: Tower chatter Post by: Earwin on June 19, 2004, 03:56:20 pm Lack of my English skills makes some discussions pretty monotonous :-\
[log] [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 [/log] |
