<shaolin> Isha: Iske, are you busy
<shaolin> Iske: No
<shaolin> Isha: might i speak with you?
<shaolin> Iske: sure, where are you?
<shaolin> Isha: I have just left the temple but will
travel to wherever you are
<shaolin> Iske: am at Ulfmoor...lets meet in the temple
<shaolin> Isha: *nod*
It's Night.
 Here in the middle of a small clearing merge two solid roads. The main road
 continues to the southeast towards a large grass plain, and to the
 northwest it leads deeper into the surrounding forest. The other road,
 basically only a narrow path, starts to the north. To the west begins the
 slope of a small hill, which has a building on its top. A road sign has
 been erected here. There is a second, smaller sign erected besides the
 northern road.
There are three obvious exits: north(r), southeast(r), northwest(r).
Mathias and Ryan.
You bow slightly.

_Walking to the Shaolin temple_

You travel a short distance westup.
 The ground of this large hall consists of gray stone, probably smoothed
 granite, while the walls are covered with various colourful paintings. Five
 cyclopean columns carry the ceiling which is made of white marble and
 shaped like a dome whereas bubbling sound can be heard from a fountain in
 the center of the hall.
 There are some lit candles at the walls. Twelve of the twelve candles are
 lit.
There are two obvious exits: eastdown, northwest.
Isha and Lee.
Isha'el looks eastdown.
Isha'el smiles slightly.
Isha'el bows slightly to you.
You smile happily.
You bow gracefully to Isha'el.
Isha'el goes hmmmm.
Isha'el: I have something I wish to discuss with you
Isha'el: please follow me

_Going upstairs_

The discussion room.
Isha'el.
Isha'el sits down to rest a while.
You sit down to rest a while.
Isha'el goes hmmmm.
Isha'el: this is quite difficult for me to say
Isha'el: I believe I am at a moment of weakness
Isha'el: I have a decision before me
Isha'el: and am unsure of which path i should take
Isha'el: I will ask your truthful opinion on the subject
You nod solemnly.
Isha'el: and will weigh my options then
Isha'el nods slowly.
Iske: that is what you will get
Isha'el: For several months now I have felt uncomfortable here
Isha'el: in the temple
You nod solemnly.
Isha'el: I feel both as if I have outgrown it
Isha'el: and as if I do it damage by staying
Isha'el: I have grown up here
Isha'el: this has been my home
Isha'el: If I were a totally selfish elf i would have left long ago
Iske: I could feel it for quite some time
Isha'el: but i feel as if I were indebted to this place
Isha'el nods slowly to you.
Iske: that is why I showed so much objection
Isha'el: I could not leave if I felt the temple needed me here
Isha'el to you: I feel as if i have done the Temple a great injustice.
Isha'el: My time as speaker...
Iske: I feel that the temple is so much loyal to you they follow you
Isha'el: I spent it more caring for outside things than caring for the temple
The candles flickers in cold draught for some seconds.
Isha'el sighs deeply.
Isha'el nods slowly.
Isha'el: indeed
Isha'el: and where have i led it?
Iske: It hurt my heart but I couldnt do nothing
Isha'el frowns.
Iske: if you want me to be really honest
Isha'el: I do
Maessa strolls in.
Maessa bows humbly.
You nod solemnly to Maessa.
Isha'el nods solemnly to Maessa.
Maessa asks in common language: Did I interrupt something?
You nod solemnly.
Maessa nods slightly.
You smile at Maessa.
Maessa bows humbly.
Maessa waves friendly.
Maessa strolls out down.
You wave happily.
Isha'el looks at you.
Isha'el: please, speak
Iske: To be honest I do not consider you a Shaolin
Isha'el heart stings as if being stabbed by daggers.
Isha'el keeps his head down.
Iske: you could be
Iske: you have the strength of will and the self discipline
Iske: but your heart so obviously draws you to one side
Iske: that you are not in balance
Isha'el nods sadly.
Isha'el in quenya: your words are true
Isha'el in quenya: I..
Isha'el in quenya: I have lingered too long
Iske: I know it hurts, that is why I waited until you speak by yourself
Isha'el in quenya: I would never knowingly bring harm to this Temple you must
                   believe that
Isha'el in quenya: but i have indeed done it harm
Isha'el asks you in quenya: I do not wish to sound proud
Isha'el in quenya: but I must ask to put my heart at ease
Isha'el in quenya: Do you think the Temple will be ok... without me?
You nod solemnly.
Isha'el in quenya: Iske...
Maessa strolls in.
Iske: Isha'el
Maessa strolls out south.
Isha'el in quenya: I believe it is best if I say goodbye to this place
Isha'el tells you in quenya: Please watch over it.
Iske: I think it is absolutely necessary
Isha'el nods slowly to you.
Iske: You are such a strong personality
Iske: and still I doubt if any other Shaolin will agree with me
You smile at Isha'el.
Isha'el tells you in quenya: I agree with you.
Isha'el tells you in quenya: Please, I ask that you steer this Temple back to
        the balance it possessed before i took it awry.
Iske: You show great discipline and understanding by doing this
Isha'el sighs sadly.
Iske: only a leader can steer
Isha'el tells you in quenya: The belt you wear around your waist.
<shaolin> Maessa: I will go to meditate for a while.
Iske: they must find it themselves
Isha'el tells you in quenya: It marks you as a leader.
Isha'el tells you in quenya: You have the ability.
You smile at Isha'el.
Iske: The temple should never be lead, never be bound to anyone
Isha'el tells you in quenya: Yegerfin is brave but you understand the balance.
Isha'el goes hmmmm.
Isha'el tells you in quenya: Simply.. care for it.
Iske: not to me and not to you..that was why you did damage...it followed you
Isha'el sighs sadly.
Iske: it is not your fault
You smile at Isha'el.
Isha'el looks at you.
The candles flickers in cold draught for some seconds.
Iske: I will be here as I ve always been
Iske: nearly always
You smile slightly.
Iske: And maybe now you leave it you are more a Shaolin than ever before
Isha'el goes hmmmm.
Isha'el nods thoughtfully.
Isha'el nods firmly.
Isha'el in quenya: no use putting off the inevitable
Isha'el stands up.
You stand up.
Isha'el looks at the belt.
Isha'el tries to look thoughtful but fails.
Isha'el removes a belt.
Isha'el looks at the belt.
Isha'el sighs deeply.
Isha'el gives you a black belt.
Isha'el removes a robe.
Isha'el looks at the robe.

You see a black shaolinbelt.
On the belt you see a name: Gojin.
It is in prime condition.
You sigh deeply.
Isha'el gives you a white wide robe.
l at robe
 A plain white robe made from thick cloth with black trim. It has wide
 sleeves and a yin-yang symbol on the back. It is folded across the chest
 and reaches down to just above the wearer's feet. Inside you noticed, that
 this robe is stuffed with a fine white leather. A thick collar protects the
 neck.
It is in prime condition.
Isha'el in quenya: I think I should write a note
You nod solemnly.
Isha'el tells you in quenya: I have a new apprentice...see that you or Yegerfin
        takes care for him.
You nod solemnly to Isha'el.
Isha'el starts writing a note.
You sit down to rest a while.
You hear a crackling sound from the fireplace as the flames consume a piece
of wood.
Isha'el goes hmmmm.
Isha'el nods slightly.
Isha'el graciously leaves north.
<shaolin> Gadihel: It's now around the first quarter of the 7. hour of this
day of Justice.
<shaolin> Gadihel: Nothing disturbs the peace of the temple.
Isha'el graciously enters.
Isha'el nods thoughtfully to you.
You stand up.
Isha'el goes hmmmm.
Isha'el in quenya: i have something in the orb room
You nod solemnly.
Isha'el in quenya: would you see me out?
Isha'el invites you to join his team.
Your leader is now Isha'el.

_Going down to Lee_
 The ground of this large hall consists of gray stone, probably smoothed
 granite, while the walls are covered with various colourful paintings. Five
 cyclopean columns carry the ceiling which is made of white marble and
 shaped like a dome whereas bubbling sound can be heard from a fountain in
 the center of the hall.
 There are some lit candles at the walls. Twelve of the twelve candles are
 lit.
There are two obvious exits: eastdown, northwest.
Isha'el and Lee.
Isha'el goes hmmmm.
Isha'el tries to look northwest.
You hear bubbling noises as water dabbles into the basin of the fountain.
Isha'el looks at Lee.
Isha'el smiles at Lee.
You hug Isha'el.
Isha'el smiles at you.
Iske: We will miss you.
Isha'el tells you in quenya: The feeling is mutual.
Isha'el bows deeply to you.
Isha'el forces you to leave the team.
Isha'el graciously leaves eastdown.
