[2/7/2014 10:30:41 PM] Nation: Lira wanted to talk to Larry.

[2/7/2014 10:31:23 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie), catching up to Larry: "Larry, do you think I could take a look at those items before you put them away?"

[2/7/2014 10:32:24 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): Of course, friend Lira. It just struck me that leaving a hand crossbow, knockout poison, and bolts out was dangerous at best. Feel free to look them over at your leisure.

[2/7/2014 10:33:03 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) smiles. "Indeed, that is a wise decision."

[2/7/2014 10:33:25 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): Larry, Cleric (Adam) smiles back.

[2/7/2014 10:33:26 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) casts Detect Magic at the items!

[2/7/2014 10:33:40 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): ((20.))

[2/7/2014 10:33:46 PM] Kestrel: (Or give them to the assassin. Just sayin'.)

[2/7/2014 10:34:04 PM] Nation: Faint abjuration on the ring.

[2/7/2014 10:34:20 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Very interesting.

[2/7/2014 10:34:46 PM | Edited 10:36:39 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) looks at Larry and then smiles. "So, what was that... when you said we shouldn't leave a friend alone...?"

[2/7/2014 10:34:50 PM] Nation: The hand crossbow is simply and moderately enhanced with magic. ((+1 HAnd Crossbow)

[2/7/2014 10:35:21 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) continues to follow Larry.

[2/7/2014 10:36:29 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): You mean, in regards to Gnarmak?

[2/7/2014 10:37:05 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): No, I mean... you.

[2/7/2014 10:37:28 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): Larry, Cleric (Adam) looks at Lira, somewhat confused.

[2/7/2014 10:37:53 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): You left... alone. You didn't leave me, way back when....

[2/7/2014 10:38:27 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): I appreciate that, friend Lira.

[2/7/2014 10:38:30 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): Larry, Cleric (Adam) smiles warmly.

[2/7/2014 10:39:23 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) grins, but goes back to somber. "And besides, when that lightning hit.... I couldn't breathe. I couldn't......... I thought I was done for."

[2/7/2014 10:40:38 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): Fortunately for all of us, that wasn't the case. All I know in life is protecting and healing.

[2/7/2014 10:41:10 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) falters a little as they near their destination. "....How did you come to your divine path?"

[2/7/2014 10:42:36 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): I was born into it, essentially. I was an infant when the clerics of Pelor found me... I still don't know if my parents died, or if they left me on the temple's doorstep. But I was raised in the Light. It really is all I've ever known.

[2/7/2014 10:44:22 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): ....Would you ever wish to find out?

[2/7/2014 10:44:55 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): Find what out?

[2/7/2014 10:45:13 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): What happened before you arrived at the temple's doorstep.

[2/7/2014 10:48:15 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): I don't know. Would it mean anything at this point? I have no memories of the people who conceived me. What would you want, friend Lira?

[2/7/2014 10:49:15 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) puzzles over the question. "Many questions burn in my mind, but those of the past are what fuel my desire to continue on....... You see, I.... have a death wish."

[2/7/2014 10:49:51 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): A death wish? Why, friend Lira?

[2/7/2014 10:52:20 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) sighs softly. "I am uncertain... my original reasons do not seem... satisfactory. Yet, my desire has not dissipated."

[2/7/2014 10:57:42 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): I see... Well, perhaps somewhere along this voyage, you may find reason for a fresh start. I'm happy to help you find it, any way I can. For having a death wish, you're very... alive. It would be an honor to help you find joy and reason to continue being so.

[2/7/2014 11:01:04 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) looks taken back, in a good way. "...I just feel so lost. And it's not just Nation. This... adventure, has certainly helped in more ways than one. I am glad that I can help whatsoever. It seems many of us have... less desire to return to a home than I might have guessed. What of you - were you free of this curse, what would you desire most?"

[2/7/2014 11:03:12 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): I... don't know. I would go back to the temple, and see who still lives, and then likely return to the town I was assigned to, and resume healing and spreading the Light.

[2/7/2014 11:04:06 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): But then, I might be shunned for abandoning my post.

[2/7/2014 11:04:57 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): Besides, my duty continues here. I still heal and protect, and attempt to spread the Light. What difference does it make where I do it?

[2/7/2014 11:05:05 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) smiles warmly.

[2/7/2014 11:06:23 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): Perhaps we have been looking at this 'curse' the wrong way. After all, we have all been brought together. I would have never met you, or any of the others, had I not been brought here. Now, we have a chance to reach for greatness.

[2/7/2014 11:10:27 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): I had only duty, not desire, in Maninaata. Here, perhaps we can all achieve a greater good, and free the souls stolen away and trapped in those pods. From there, we can go everywhere. Home, to the ends of the universe...

[2/7/2014 11:14:18 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): I would wish that desire and duty could be entertained together. It is fortunate, then, that we find ourselves in a place with a reach beyond what we could fathom before. There is real good that can be done, such as the help we rendered Captain Vel. Could you imagine....? 400 years at the helm..

[2/7/2014 11:18:49 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): I cannot. I haven't lived nearly long enough to begin to have any idea what that would be like. And I don't see why duty and desire can't go hand in hand. It's just that I wasn't raised with desire. Between the cloistered clerics, and the occasional severe paladin, I saw nothing but duty.

[2/7/2014 11:19:40 PM | Edited 11:21:37 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) frowns in a contemplative manner. "Hopefully, we can remedy that." She then grins in a delighted manner.

[2/7/2014 11:22:42 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): Larry, Cleric (Adam) grins back. "So, should we head back to the galley, or...?"

[2/7/2014 11:22:57 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) nods and starts heading back!

[2/7/2014 11:23:09 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): Larry, Cleric (Adam) follows.
