Inside the cathedral of Taniel.
 This is the sacrifice-hall of the cathedral. A very large column of blue
 fire burns in the middle of this place, emanating holy power and the
 feeling of a divine presence. Near the pillar of flames, a holy altar has
 been erected, decorated with ancient elvish runes and topped with a couple
 of golden censers, which fill the air with the scent of incense. Two small
 staircases lead through the ceiling into somewhere else.
 Small pillars, made of white marble, line the way to the inner cathedral.
 Mounted to each of them is a torch which burns in a strange blue fire, and
 the floor, paved with black marble, reflects their light extremely well. On
 the top of each pillar stands a white statue.
An open ornamented gate leads south.
An open ornamented door leads eastdown.
There are six obvious exits: north, eastdown, southeast, south,
southwest, up.

servant because it's him who created his race.
Tatiana says swiftly in Common: And he wants to thank him.

Your leader is now Tatiana.
>Tatiana slightly shakes her head in disagreement.
Tatiana leaves eastdown.

In the dungeons.
 You are in the main corridor of the dungeons. To the west, on top of some
 stone stairs, a strong wooden door seems to lead out. Two other wooden

 enough to brighten the whole area.

>You begin to concentrate on the miracle 'blade of light'.

>Tatiana tells you in Common: He did what I requested of him.

You shrug.
>Your deity grants you the power of 'blade of light'.
You silently call out to your Lord to grant you a weapon against your
enemies and you suddenly feel something solid taking shape in your hand.

>Kaspars stinks awfully.
Tatiana tells you in Common: I said he'll be freed when he does.

<Clerics of Taniel> Tatiana: We're playing good guy and bad guy or
something?

You tell Tatiana in Common: And I'm the Archbishop, and a map of
something I already know is useless.

Tatiana tells you in Common: He's too young to know anything
useful.
Kaspars stinks awfully.

You tell Tatiana in Common: That is because the dreadmistress tells him
nothing, deliberately keeps him in the dark to use him.

><Clerics of Taniel> Tatiana: If he learns that when he gives us
information he'll be freed he might be of use.

Kaspars stinks awfully.
You tell Kaspars in Common: Your the tool of a useless and pathetic
piece of shit.

>Tatiana tells you in Common: Yes, Father. But that is only owing to his
stupidity.

You tell Tatiana in Common: And I am not responsible for his lack of
brains.

him back to the Light, but he refuses to listen.

of the true Lord in long time?

You ask Tatiana in Common: do you really want that shit back?
>Tatiana tells you in Common: No Father, but if we'd kill everyone for
being stupid there'd be hardly anyone left.

Tatiana looks at Kaspars.
Kaspars stinks awfully.

Tatiana asks you in Common: Ask him if he's willing to change
Father?

Kaspars asks you in Common: and now you`re feeling like hero?
Kaspars stinks awfully.

You tell Tatiana in Common: The more important question is wether I'd
believe him.

enough, Father.

You emote: Xexo rams his knee into Kaspars's groin.
Kaspars curses silently.

You tell Tatiana in Common: We could cut that off so he can't breed at
least.
Tatiana tells you in Common: There is a lot of reason in what you're
saying.

Kaspars stinks awfully.

You tell Tatiana in Common: Feel free to try and get something useful
out of him.
You tell Tatiana in Common: And when you don't.

You say quietly in Common: I'll kill him and cleanse his soul in the
fires
You unwield the blade.
>Your blade of light vanishes.

Tatiana asks Kaspars in Common: Where are the guards? Four at the gate?
Where is the rest?

Kaspars hisses silently in Common: except that faun who was hanging on
the cross
Kaspars laughs silently.

Tatiana asks Kaspars in Common: Did you nail him to it?
Kaspars nods solemnly.

Tatiana tells Kaspars in Common: Lie, who have you seen in Asador or
west from the bridge on the tundra? I don't ask about the last time you've
been there.

Kaspars stinks awfully.
Tatiana asks Kaspars in Common: What did you do with him later?

Kaspars hisses silently in Common: you and Alamar
Kaspars stinks awfully.

there .. waiting for right time when he will be ready to meet HIM.

HIS servants - you will have to find them out. And you will find them out as
they will eliminate you all - one by one

names.

methods?

arrived at the temple.

Tatiana tells Kaspars in Common: Speak so we can hear you!

and see the pit .. then you`ll understand that whip is toy compared to HIS
power

prevent the depopulation.

You tell Tatiana in Common: Like I said, lets cut that off to avoid the
problem.
Tatiana tells you in Common: If he doesn't prove to be useful we can
proceed to that.

Tatiana tells Kaspars in Common: Don't be a fool! Speak their names and
you'll save your manhood.

thing .. people come to HIM themselves and I wont be surprised that even
your child one day could find out HIS true power and would accept it

Kaspars stinks awfully.
Kaspars hisses silently in Common: and he could become one of us
Kaspars stinks awfully.

You tell Tatiana in Common: This is boring me.
>Kaspars stinks awfully.

with the hope for eternal life, they sign in for eternal slavery not knowing
there is something better than this.

Kaspars stinks awfully.
Kaspars hisses silently in Common: fooled .. I was not fooled .. I was
killed by Blizt

><Clerics of Taniel> Tatiana: We can demand that he enters the town
and frees the faun.
<Clerics of Taniel> Tatiana: We will keep all his stuff, and he'll
have it returned then.
<Clerics of Taniel> Tatiana: What do you say?

Tatiana looks at Kaspars.
<Clerics of Taniel> You: once we release him
><Clerics of Taniel> Tatiana: If he doesn't do as he's told, next
time we see him, we'll castrate him.

Tatiana nods to you.
Tatiana asks you in Common: Maybe he had enough?

You tell Tatiana in Common: He's still not told us anything we don't
already know.

A pile of wood.
The fire is empty.
>Kaspars stinks awfully.

In the dungeons.
 A set of shackles have been attached to one of the walls of this room.
 Except for two candles, the room is otherwise completely empty.
An open ornamented door leads south.
There is one obvious exit: south.
A berry surprise, a candied apple, a glass, a meat roll and a pile of wood.
Tatiana and Kaspars (on the ground).

>Tatiana tells you in Common: He can be of use if he can walk and stand
to free the faun.
Tatiana says swiftly in Common: We can't break him too much.

You tell Tatiana in Common: Good point.
You tell Tatiana in Common: I can use the torch to castrate him
then.

Tatiana nods slightly.
You emote: Xexo moves closer to Kaspars.

>Kaspars stinks awfully.
Kaspars curses silently.

You emote: Xexo moves the torch slowly towards Kaspars's groin.
You ask Kaspars in Common: got any final words?

>Kaspars hisses silently in Common: then I`ll have to kidnap
children
Kaspars laughs madly.

You tell Kaspars in Common: Wrong answer.

Tatiana says swiftly in Common: Sick bastard.
>Tatiana tells you in Common: If I didn't see him scream earlier, I'd
say he enjoys.

You emote: Xexo inches the torch closer to Kaspars's groin.
>Kaspars stinks awfully.

Tatiana is an olive-skinned curvaceous female half-elf.
She is well-shaped yet her long legs give her a skinny appearance. Waves of
blond hair reach down her back, golden shimmers run through it as she moves
with grace. They frame her slender face, failing to cover the pointed ears
adorned with tiny earrings. There is a leaf tatooed on the side of her cheek.
She has scars on her right cheek.
She has emerald eyes.
She has very long golden hair.
She is tall and skinny for a half-elf.
She looks fine.
She is in good shape.
She is extremely alert.
She is wielding a black leather whip with her right hand.
She is wearing a fur-lined ornamented white cowl, a silver left chain boot,
a silver left chain gauntlet, a silver right chain boot, a silver right
chain gauntlet, a silver robe, a small herb bag and a small leather backpack.

You tell Tatiana in Common: I think you are right.
Tatiana looks at you.

Kaspars is twitching trying to avoid flames.
Tatiana tells you in Common: At least he knows how to dance.
You chuckle.

You emote: Xexo waves the torch around a little, flaring the flames.
Kaspars follows the torch with his eyes.

Tatiana rubs her neck awkwardly and makes a wry face.
You ask Tatiana in Common: would you like to do the honors sister?

>Tatiana tells Kaspars in Common: Talk, really, don't be a fool!
Tatiana slightly shakes her head in disagreement to you.

Kaspars shouts in Common: I have nothing else to say

Tatiana asks Kaspars in Common: Where is the Order hideout, where did
they tell you to meet them?

Kaspars laughs.
Kaspars hisses silently in Common: you overestimate me

A lighted torch, already burned some time.

>Kaspars stinks awfully.
Kaspars hisses silently in Common: all I reached , I reached on my own
- imagine what will be if I`ll find them and will join them

Tatiana asks Kaspars in Common: Where do they go hunting? Jezz, Cemoch,
Mira?
You emote: Xexo presses the torch briefly against Kaspars's groin.
>Kaspars shivers.

Tatiana moves to the side and slashes the whip across Kaspars's feet.
Tatiana tells Kaspars in Common: You meet them, where?

Kaspars hisses silently in Common: I dont meet them
Tatiana says swiftly in Common: You admit that you know them, you've
met them, where?

Kaspars hisses silently in Common: I met Jezz in Asador once
Kaspars hisses silently in Common: and I met Cemoch at the cross near
faeries

Tatiana tells you in Common: He's improving, earlier it was only me and
Alamar who he met near there.

Tatiana says swiftly in Common: Mira?
Kaspars shakes his head in disagreement.

You extinguish the torch.
But you can still see here.
>Tatiana says swiftly in Common: Nadie?

You tell Tatiana in Common: True, perhaps he is learning.
You emote: Xexo moves back to the wall, leaning back into it.

You unwield the torch.
>Kaspars stinks awfully.
Tatiana looks at Kaspars.
Tatiana puts a rune-covered bone into her backpack.

Kaspars stinks awfully.
You concentrate on your silver pendant...
<Clerics of Taniel> You: I think we have gotten all we will get

>Tatiana puts a small kettle into her backpack.
Tatiana asks Kaspars in Common: Where did you meet Nadie?
Kaspars hisses silently in Common: dont remember .. maybe it was near
Elvandar or closer to Arborea

Tatiana nods.
Tatiana puts ten bronze coins, six copper coins, two glasses, 12 silver
coins and a soulstone into her backpack.

Kaspars stinks awfully.
Tatiana says swiftly in Common: I don't have any more questions, do you
Father?

You tell Tatiana in Common: I think I've heard enough, as little as it
actually is.

>Tatiana tells Kaspars in Common: Now, we will take all your belongings,
you'll run to Asador and free the faun you've left there nailed to the
cross, then you'll lead him out of the city and wait for us there.

Tatiana says swiftly in Common: Only when the faun is safe, your things
will be returned to you.

Tatiana looks at Kaspars.
Tatiana takes a battle helmet, a black leather shirt, many bronze coins, a
chainmail, a compass, a dark-green travelling cloak, a gemmed golden ring, a
gleaming great sword, a gold coin, an iron dagger, a large iron oil-lamp, a
left chain gauntlet, a left leather boot, a medium leather backpack, a
padded tunic, a pair of chain-leggings, a pair of thick leather trousers, a
right chain gauntlet, a right leather boot, a runic ring, a short steel axe,
some silver coins, two steel katanas, a studded black left leather bracer, a
studded black right leather bracer and a tinderbox from Kaspars.

Tatiana looks at Kaspars.
You put a wooden torch.

>Tatiana asks Kaspars in Common: Do you understand?

<Clerics of Taniel> Tatiana: Nilyach, please open the inner
sanctum
<Clerics of Taniel> Nilyach: I have heard you...

You put a tinderbox.

In the dungeons.
 A set of shackles have been attached to one of the walls of this room.
 Except for two candles, the room is otherwise completely empty.
An open ornamented door leads south.
There is one obvious exit: south.
A berry surprise, a candied apple, a glass, a meat roll, a pile of wood, a
tinderbox and a wooden torch.
Tatiana and Kaspars (on the ground).

<Clerics of Taniel> Nilyach: The inner Sanctum is now opened!
Kaspars nods.
Kaspars stinks awfully.

Tatiana unshackles Kaspars.
Kaspars falls on the floor.

Tatiana looks at Kaspars.
Tatiana says swiftly in Common: You better hurry.

Kaspars stands up slowly.
Tatiana looks at the food.
>Kaspars hisses silently in Common: where should I go now?
Tatiana says swiftly in Common: You can have the food.

Kaspars stinks awfully.
Kaspars looks around.
Kaspars stands up.
Kaspars walks out south.

In the dungeons.
 You are in the main corridor of the dungeons. To the west, on top of some
 stone stairs, a strong wooden door seems to lead out. Two other wooden
 doors are located along to corridor. The walls are carefully built out of
 white bricks and there are some candle-holders attached to the walls,
 enough to brighten the whole area.
An open ornamented door leads westup.
An open ornamented door leads north.
A closed ornamented door leads south.
There are two obvious exits: north, westup.
Tatiana and Kaspars.

Tatiana says swiftly in Common: Follow.
Tatiana leaves westup.

Inside the cathedral of Taniel.
 This is the sacrifice-hall of the cathedral. A very large column of blue
 fire burns in the middle of this place, emanating holy power and the
 feeling of a divine presence. Near the pillar of flames, a holy altar has
 been erected, decorated with ancient elvish runes and topped with a couple
 of golden censers, which fill the air with the scent of incense. Two small
 staircases lead through the ceiling into somewhere else.
 Small pillars, made of white marble, line the way to the inner cathedral.
 Mounted to each of them is a torch which burns in a strange blue fire, and
 the floor, paved with black marble, reflects their light extremely well. On
 the top of each pillar stands a white statue, whose eyes burn with a blue
 light, iluminating the entire hall.
An open ornamented gate leads south.
An open ornamented door leads eastdown.
There are six obvious exits: north, eastdown, southeast, south,
southwest, up.
Tatiana and Iretnel.

Iretnel tells you in Common: Greetings Father Archbishop, good to have
you back.
Kaspars walks in from eastdown.
Tatiana points south.
Kaspars walks out south.
Tatiana leaves south.

----------------------------------------------

In a tundra.
 This entire area was once covered by massive glaciers. When the glaciers
 retreated, they left behind a land of barren beauty. The thin grass is even
 more flattened here, and small piles of animal spoors dot the area. It
 seems as if a pack of wolverine have recently used this spot as a resting
 place. A large animal, perhaps a brown bear, has left a clawed pawprint in
 the marshy soil.
 To the west, an incredibly deep and wide canyon blocks the way, but someone
 has built a sturdy looking plank bridge which reaches across the chasm to
 the west.
 There's a cloud very far to the northeast.
There are five obvious exits: northeast, east, southeast, south,
west.
Tatiana.
Tatiana looks west.
Tatiana starts to chant a prayer and makes some strange gestures.

Tatiana seems to send a request for 'ethereal spy' to Taniel.

As you look west you see:
On a sturdy plank bridge.
You can see the shape of one medium humanoid creature.
You can see the shape of one large humanoid creature.

>Tatiana says swiftly in Common: Somebody to the west.
Tatiana looks west.
Tatiana lays a hand over both eyes.
Tatiana shouts in Common: Come here.

You get an ornamented shield from your backpack.
You wear the ornamented shield on your left hand.
>You'll parry with your ornamented shield.

>Kaspars walks in from west.
Tatiana asks Kaspars in Common: Where is the faun?
Tatiana looks west.

Kaspars stinks awfully.
Kaspars hisses silently in Common: He smiled upon him
Kaspars hisses silently in Common: while I was imprisoned , he was
sacrificed
Kaspars nods seriously.

Tatiana looks at you.
Tatiana asks Kaspars in Common: And who did this?

Kaspars shrugs.
Kaspars hisses silently in Common: I believe one of HIS priests
Tatiana looks at the great sword.
Kaspars hisses silently in Common: one more is closer to HIM
Kaspars nods.

Tatiana puts a gleaming great sword into her second backpack.
Tatiana tells Kaspars in Common: You'll get your weapon back when you
find out who did this and send me the name in a letter.

Kaspars shakes his head in disagreement.
Kaspars hisses silently in Common: no

The wind is cold and crisp, without the stench which comes often with
civilization.

Tatiana tells Kaspars in Common: If you fight them again, we won't be
as nice.
Kaspars stinks awfully.
Kaspars hisses silently in Common: I`ll get it from your dead body
then

Tatiana gives Arborea map, a battle helmet, a black leather shirt, some
bronze coins, a chainmail, a compass, six copper coins, a dark-green
travelling cloak, a dirty old map, two gemmed golden rings, three gold
coins, a green broken stone, an iron dagger, a large iron oil-lamp, a left
chain gauntlet, a left leather boot, a map of the Dwarven Underground, a
medium leather backpack, a padded tunic, a pair of chain-leggings, a pair of
thick leather trousers, a right chain gauntlet, a right leather boot, a
runic ring, a short steel axe, many silver coins, a small flask of lamp-oil
(full), two steel katanas, a studded black left leather bracer and a studded
black right leather bracer to Kaspars.

Kaspars nods slowly.
Tatiana tells you in Common: I think we've wasted enough time on
him.

Tatiana leaves southeast, moving through the grass.
You travel a long distance southeast.
