Oracle #1 : Bob : Who's now in Deceit Level 1

Bob : My name is actually
cure : Thanks to returning to Chaos, I have been cured!
Chaos : We are getting larger and strong, soon the Royal Guard will suffer!
Fred : Fred is cured to, he is organizing the attacks with Baz.
Baz : Like I'll tell you more!
Preeminent : Our leader wishes to attack a Preeminent city, Britain of course!
Leader : We are not allowed to talk about that.
Britain : The largest city in all the land
Docks : We have enough logs now to build large boats, but I don't think the docks are as safe as the shoreline.
Beaches : I think the invasion will last only a few hours, and that's when our leader will stop the facade!
Secrecy : Well, the new password is Ulanombon
Documetation : All the attacks are arranged from the Blackthorn Castle Vaults.
Infiltrat: I wish I was guarding the vault, I would be performing a few executions of trespassers.
gossip : Oh well, our leader goes by a name we are all acquainted with. And that's all I have to say for now.

Oracle #2 : Fred : Who is now very protected in Shame - Players MUST be alive to talk to him, so we insert a wall that dead can not pass through at ______ and a colored LEVER on the wall to teleport them into the room, and a teleporter OUT
Fred : My name is actually
Cure : Thanks to returning to Chaos, I have been cured!
Chaos : Thanks to Bob's help, we have rejoined Chaos and will triumph!
Britain : It would be most wise to focus the main attack at the docks
attack : Our attacks will focus next on a preeminent city.
shoreline : There are guards at all entry points but none along the beaches.
Facade : Our leader will not have any reason to be in secrecy at the main attack soon.
Ulanombon : Oh, thats the new password in castle blackthorn? Thank you for the documentation
Vaults : Our leader keeps changing the password, the Royal Guard keeping infiltrating it.
Execution : Bob has always enjoyed doing that for Chaos, he always gossips about it.
acquianted : Next week, you'll learn. Until then, I have nothing more to tell you.

EM's Personal Setup :

I get all sorts of people in here. Just today two young adventurers came in asking for Ale, and plenty of it. I didn't think they were of age, however they insisted, and I gave it to them.

Next thing you know, they were falling over the barstools laughing like dolts. I kicked them out, cleaned up and called it a night.

Then while cleaning, I saw a robed man over in the shadows lurched over, as he had too much to drink. I asked if he was OK, but heard him muttering odd words as I got closer. He turned, and and simply sneered at me He didn't seem distressed, just rude - so thought nothing of it.

Business has been horrible lately, I don't know what I'm going to do if something isn't done soon. I am positive that odd robed man I saw a few weeks ago is responsible, I keep spotting him around the city, and just today he came in for a drink and didn't look concerned at all for his safety. He did inform me that my fate is not in jeaporday, as no matter who wins outside, they will always be thirsty.

I am afraid I have no idea what I can do to help whoever I should.

3665 2253 20 Trammel : A book

A familiar man from the castle came in today, to speak to Azora. I thought it was over between them, and apparently so with Azora's fidgeting while they talked. When he left, I asked what it was all about, and she said that he tried again to wisk here away to the castle - this time with promises that her life would be in danger here.

Men, so desperate for a woman, when all they need is to offer commitement.

That man came in again today, and this time with a few guards. He asked them to stand outside and protect the shop while he talked to Azora. Azora wishes she took his advice weeks ago, but she' very concerned that it seems he knew about these attacks before they happened!

I told her I don't trust him, something isn't right. To make things more peculiar, he talked to the Shipwright, and handed over large bulk order deeds for logs. It seems he is contracting some ships to be made.

1330 1589 50 Trammel : A Sword and suit of armor of a Guard named Gilbert

I am so proud to be a Castle Guard finally, I worked so hard at the outpost around the city and wrote letters for so long, I could barely believe I finally made it! I do regret leaving family behind, and do miss my love. I often find an excuse to go visit her, claiming I need supplies. I fear she thinks this relationship won't work, but I must continue to try.

I work hard as I can here, and my work is being noticed! I have secured a small house in Britain for some friends when they want to come visit me, no reason they should have to stay at an inn with all the benefits working here provides. I just wish my love would try and move here.

****************** ADD : he actually got too much wiped, he has no clue what he's doing here now.

1339 1589 50 : Trammel : Clothes are locked down

I saw the new guard that has been transfered in, he is so handsome! I cooked some fresh pie, took it to his office, and he graciously accepted, so gentelmen like, well groomed, I think he's available as I see no ring! * blush *

I took some fresh fruit to Caradon, the man I met yesterday, and he commented me on the pie. I sat and talked about his history with the Royal Guard, and he said he just transfered here from an outpost near Yew. Such a nasty place, with the orcs and liches nearby, which explains why he is so well built all around - oh my sister would be so jealous of my job!

So tonight, I was brave! I put on a short skirt and sleeveless shirt, and went looking for Caradon. He wasn't in his office -one of the gaurds told me he was out on patrol. Sadly it was late and we are not allowed around the peremiter, don't know why - nothing ever happens around here anymore.

I cooked a large cake for him today and took it to him. He asked me to sit down, and I knew what was coming. He told me he was flattered, however he is not interested as his passion lies with the Royal Guard at the time being. His rejection showed true Honor and Compassion. I fell more madly in love with him, but thanked him and promised I'll continue to be here to serve him, and in turn serve the Royal Guard.

Things have been crazy very unsettling around here. Reports of attacks all over the land, and worse, the Royal Guard isn't doing very well in stopping it. I rarely see Caradon around now, he's always going out trying to settle issues now and direct the men, and I am afraid for his life.

I have expressed my concerns over his life, but Caradon tells me I'm just a silly little girl, there is nothing to fear. And he again stresses that he has no feelings for me, and that I need to move on with my life. However, I simply can not. I just wish I knew why he refuses my interest so much.

I enjoy this office, I can finally work in some peace and quite and finalize plans for the Royal Guard without being distrubed. I have asked for some plants, to give the place some life, and can not complain about the lovely view outside the windows. I do wish I had a room on the Northeast side, where I can see where I used to work.

Priam Balifor left for the day, with the Royal Guard somewhere, asked me to stay behind as he's not just read to introduce me - which is fine, I need to get acquiatnted with my men here, and see the city.

Many things change, yet remain the same. The warriors of these days are happy to serve in the Royal Guard, yet many are here solely because it's something to put meaning in their otherwise dreary lives. I can see the passion in their eyes, the desire for more - but they feel they can't find it here in the ROyal Guard. So many men and women with great intentions, yet no focus.

Everyone is starting to notice the cannons aren't very clean anymore, and with good reason - Bob has left us. I have also heard from the stablemaster that Fred has disappeared as well. Very peculiar timing I must say, considering their past.

My eyes I thought decived me, today an old college came down here. My men had to escort him, as they felt uncomfortable with an old aquinatance of mine that turned face on us years ago came late in the night. However, when he stated he was here to ressurect the Chaos movement, they knew I would want to see him.

He then opened up a large bag, and poured gold all over my desk, so much gold I had to jump back out of my chair before it pelting my bare feet! Over 500,000 gold he said, and all he wanted was us to start attacking Skara Brae. He knew we retreated deep down here so many years ago, however we have means of organizing our invasion.

I am to leave with two colleges tomorow night, and begin the attack on Skara right away. We also gave him some contact information if he had more gold, and needed more help.

It's good to see he has come back to us. I asked how I can find him, he said in our old quarters, and that he has reinstalled the old doors. I was embarrased to ask again for the password, impera he reminded me.

**ADD : The Royal Guard are getting to be a problem, I shall investigate Magencia myself!

ome old members, and start finding allies. It's a crazy idea, but there's two men at the Castle that were rumored to work for Chaos in the old days, I may coerce them to rejoin. I know one of them always wanders out into the city, and I'll try to get him today.

5582 185 0 Trammel : Shame Level 3 : Written by Yblibin

We have recieved word from our brethren that attacks have begun on Magencia in the name of chaos! I can not begin to describe the enthusiasum that echoed throughout our tower this past week. We have sent word that we wish to help at no cost, for we miss the glory days of our services with Blackthorn.

Word has finally gotten back that our help and dedication is appreciated and accepted! We are to prepare here for a few days, and soon send forces to Cove and Moonglow.

I honestly chocked on my drink today, seeing an old acquiatinace walk in our door. I was ready to set him on fire for what he did in the past, but two mages with him assured that he has returned to his senses. I looked him in the eye, and asked for him to explain himself, reminding him of what I did to those in the past that betrayed us. He assured me he was in err, and the fact he has showed up here today shows his sincerity with our old ways.

I beleive him, for now, but I have my reservations on the other man, whom if I am not mistaken seems to be the one in charge due to his suit and arms still freshly polished as by the smiths that reside in the castle.

We have established transportatin, and the attacks on Cove and Moonglow are underway.

Thanks to the return of two of our old most powerfull men, Bob and Fred have been cured and are now assistaning in the organization and deployment of our attacks. I have actually put another curse on them, if they are ever to turn on Chaos again, they will fall dead to the floor as soon as my incantation is muttered.
