A new face is at the crossing...

The dark-skinned broad-shouldered male human nods to Nogem, "My name is
Magnes, the future king of the world!".
The dark-skinned broad-shouldered male human introduces himself as: Magnes.
Jemeralde tries to keep serious.
Jemeralde peers curiously at Magnes.
You tell Magnes in Boreal: I think Vlad might have something to say about
that.
Magnes says in Common: Ah um, can you say that in common? I understood
most of that... but not all.
Heavily overcast skies obscure any view of the summer sun. A slight
wind blows from the northwest.
Jemeralde looks at you.
You silently murmur in Boreal: No, I can't
Jemeralde tells Magnes in Common: He doesn't speak Common.
Magnes says in Boreal: Lets harg... is guth good?
Jemeralde contemplates about stuffing Gerrit's mouth with his fishes.
Jemeralde tries to look thoughtful.
Eeks, Gerrit stinks like fish!
You silently murmur in Boreal: you sound like you have a mouthful of
rocks
: Jemeralde chats: I just understand "you... rocks" what a compliment
;)
Magnes says in Common: Well I think I'll learn languages another day.
For now, can someone take me to get a shave?
You silently murmur in Boreal: you're a big boy, how are you going to rule
if you can't even get a shave on your own?
: Magnes chats: I seem to understand the majority of every language I
hear, but I havn't went up a stat in them, is that weird?
Magnes says in Common: Hey, shaving has nothing to do with ruling the
world. I just havn't quite learned how yet... this is like my first
beard!
Jemeralde giggles.
Jemeralde tries to look thoughtful.
You tell Magnes in Boreal: Try to dwarves.
Magnes says in Common: I've never been to another city, other than the
one to the east.
Jemeralde nods understandingly.

> Pointless chatter, people come, people go, people come

Magnes bows and rubs his chin. "My name is Magnes of the first beard!".
Magnes introduces himself as: Magnes.

---

> More chatter

Magnes says in Common: Soon I'll be Magnes of the smooth chin, then Jem
can rub my chin and say 'Your chin is so silky and smooth.', and I will say
'Yes, yes it is...'
Jemeralde giggles ironically.
You silently murmur in Quenya: I suspect you'll be rubbing your own chin
there
Jemeralde says with a slight purr in Common: You shouldn't bet on it,
Magnes
Jemeralde agrees with you.
You silently murmur in Quenya: yeah, I'm guessing if my sword hasn't much of
a chance of being rubbed, his chin has a long way to go
Magnes rubs the back of his head and blushes. "I'm sure. For now my highest
hope is finding an even larger sword, not beautiful elven women.".
Jemeralde laughs loudly.

You smirk.
You silently murmur in Boreal: you should focus on bigger arms before a
bigger sword

Magnes ponders that for a moment. "In all seriousness, I try not to get too
bulky, because in the future, after I've slayed a few dragons and united all
kingdoms as one, I plan to have an elven bride, and I don't think they like
guys with huge muscles.".

You silently murmur in Quenya: I think he knows little of women

With a smooth movement, you draw your black great sword out of the scabbard
and twirl it into your hands.
You show the black great sword to Magnes.
You silently murmur in Quenya: you'll need them to best this

You unwield the black great sword.
With an elegant movement, you sheathe your black great sword into the
scabbard.

Jemeralde says with a slight purr in Common: Unite all kingdoms? I
think even I don't get old enough to see that happen

Magnes twitches and literally drools at the sword. "I... um... I'll give you
my pinky for that sword!".
Jemeralde says with a slight purr in Common: Ewww

Jemeralde shudders disgustedly.

You silently murmur in Common: Nogam nod van do see jur 'pinky'
Jemeralde says with a slight purr in Common: At least Nogem don't show
his hammer...
Jemeralde grins teasingly.
You silently murmur in Common: and Nogam dink dem vemins ve vanding more den
a 'pinky' do
Magnes says in Common: Hey at least I'm tough enough to cut my pinky
off for a large sword.
Zarleth stands up.
Jemeralde says with a slight purr in Common: Since when means tough and
stupid the same?
Jemeralde tries to look thoughtful.
Suddenly Zarleth turns to stone.
Magnes says in Common: Don't look at me, I never could tell the
difference.
You silently murmur in Common: joo gif Nogam jur liddle vinger, Nogam gif
joo dis vlade liddle vrudda
Jemeralde looks at Magnes.

The statue of Zarleth crumbles to dust.

Jemeralde stirrs Zarleth's dust up a bit.
You chuckle.

> Nogem just couldn't pass it up, went to get a really big sword for him

Jemeralde says with a slight purr in Common: Well... I was spending
ElvanDar a visit anyway... I can show you the barber

You give a black two-handed sword to Magnes.
Jemeralde gasps in astonishment!
Magnes joins Jemeralde's team.

You emote: Nogem waits for Magnes's finger.
Jemeralde waits, too.
Jemeralde sits down to rest a while.
Jemeralde peers intently at Magnes.
You silently murmur in Common: gum now, Nogam vaiding ja.
Magnes says in Common: Oh um... can I withdraw money from the bank that
I deposited in another city?
Jemeralde shakes her head in disagreement.
You silently murmur in Common: Nogam god monies, Nogam van jur liddle

Jemeralde says with a slight purr in Common: No... and Nogem is till
waiting for for finger
Magnes says in Common: Well that complicates things... I suppose I
should go withdraw.
Magnes says in Common: Oh crap! Hey you really want my finger?
You emote: Nogem holds out a hand and gestures for Magnes to hand it over.
Jemeralde says with a slight purr in Common: YOu got a sword...

You silently murmur in Common: Nogam vaiding
Jemeralde says with a slight purr in Common: Now pay the price
Jemeralde stands up.
Jemeralde guards the southeast exit.
Magnes says in Common: Um... I think I'll just give you the sword..
Jemeralde grins teasingly.

Night falls over the land.

Magnes studies the sword carefully.
You silently murmur in Common: joo nod touvv. Joo vig moud voman
Magnes says in Common: You do want it back right?

You silently murmur in Common: No, Nogam van jur liddle vinger

think Jem wants me to cut my finger off..
You get a long slender dagger.
You give a long slender dagger to Magnes.

Jemeralde peers interestedly at Magnes.
Magnes says in Common: Why don't you take the sword back and we call it
a day?
You silently murmur in Common: Nod go vack on deal, ja
Magnes says in Common: I'll tell you what. When I'm king of the world,
you can have a nice position
You silently murmur in Common: joo vack oud now, Nogam knock joo indo nexx

Jemeralde laughs sarcastically.

Now you'll only try to stun your enemy.
You will now try to hit the head of your opponent.

Magnes says in Common: You sure you don't want the sword back?
You silently murmur in Common: den Nogam dake jur vinger
Magnes says in Common: Here you can have the sword and I'll go get
shaved with Jem.
You silently murmur in Common: No
Jemeralde says with a slight purr in Common: And the dagger
You silently murmur in Common: joo say vinger, Nogam give vlade, joo give

Magnes says in Common: But if I cut my finger off, it'll explode with
magical energy.
You silently murmur in Common: Nogam van de vinger touvv guy

Magnes says in Common: Jem, can you close your eyes?

Jemeralde says with a slight purr in Common: When I want, yes... but I
just don't want
Jemeralde grins teasingly.

Magnes says in Common: Um...
Magnes ponders a way out of the situation.

You silently murmur in Common: Nogam nod vaiding all day

With a smooth movement, you draw your black great sword out of the scabbard
and twirl it into your hands.
Jemeralde stops blocking.
You silently murmur in Common: joo cud id, or Nogam cud id
Magnes says in Common: Wait wait!

Jemeralde says with a slight purr in Common: You can just drop sword
and dagger and run... or simply do what you so boldly announced

Magnes says in Common: I can't run in front of you.

You silently murmur in Common: Nogam vaid boud vife secon

Jemeralde says with a slight purr in Common: It's an approved
tactic
Jemeralde laughs sarcastically.
Magnes says in Common: Alright, how about I give you a nice gold

You silently murmur in Common: free

Magnes says in Common: I'm free?

You silently murmur in Common: duo

Magnes. You slash into his scalp and hurt him critically. You then twist
your weapon in his wound before you pull it out again.
Magnes screams loudly!
Magnes is knocked out.
Magnes falls unconscious.

You smash your black great sword at Magnes's head, cleave through his
battle helmet and hurt him slightly, without using lethal force.

You silently murmur in Common: joo ve king vid no liddle vinger, ja
Magnes says in Common: If Jem will close her eyes, I can run!

Jemeralde says with a slight purr in Common: Why? I KNOW you will run,
if I see it or not
You ask in Common: Joo ute rye or levt han?
Jemeralde says with a slight purr in Common: And you can't run

Magnes lays on his back as his hand twitches.
Jemeralde says with a slight purr in Common: Never believed he would
really do it...

Jemeralde says with a slight purr in Common: On the other hand... the
normal price for acting stupid is the head...
Jemeralde says with a slight purr in Common: You're lucky, Magnes

You untie the rope and get it.
You nod.

Jemeralde says with a slight purr in Common: And I hadn't the means to
stop him anyway
Jemeralde shrugs apologetically at Magnes.
Magnes holds his hand and stares at the empty spot. "Great, now I have no
pinky, and no elven woman would take a guy missing a finger!".
Magnes says in Common: I'm taking your hand... eventually.
