Not even the archmage whom reset the wards. Nor even the woman he brings with him who... is perhaps even more potentially deadly than he. Though, to be fair, Telamon surrounds himself with deadly women today, and they are each divested of their magical equipment alongside him. Down into the depths of the dungeons which are quiet of late...")
- 19:26, 23 March 2025 Telamon talk contribs created page Of Staves and Stones (Created page with "Lupecyll-Atlon home, midday Spring has sprung, with the snow having retreated back to the mountains, and to places in the deeper forest. The cold hasn't been shrugged off yet, but at least in the sunshine, it is warm. The Goblin enjoys her brief flight, having taken to flying down from her home in the Monastery to the city, to visit friends and adopted family. Today finds her hovering over the Lupecyll-Atlon backyard, as she inspects what changes may or may not have...")
- 01:33, 22 March 2025 Telamon talk contribs created page A Lost Fey Puppy (Created page with "Lupecyll-Atlon home, evening A rap of knuckles, a ranger seeks shelter... Warmer than even a few weeks prior, no longer blanketed in white, the night city of Alexandria in this part of the city is usually kept to a minimum. It is entertained by scholar's candles and rustling pages rather than potent ale and stomping feet. The cowled ranger is out of place at the feet of academia, but when wisdom is something one seeks, are there many better places to find it? Her brea...")
- 01:33, 22 March 2025 Telamon talk contribs created page The Sickle's Edge (Created page with " The Colosseum, afternoon While the mornings are given over to organized (as much as it can be) practices, and the evenings given to displays and shows, afternoons in the Colosseum are kind of a catch all for practicing warriors, guardsmen, and adventurers. Many seek to hone their skills, or work on gaining an edge (figuratively if not literally) for their next fight, lest it be their last. A rangy-looking half-orc, stripped down to trousers and boots, is doing weapon...")
- 23:04, 14 March 2025 Telamon talk contribs created page Dance of the Watchlings (Created page with "Alexandria, just outside the watchtowers, midday It's a lovely, lovely day. The sun is shining, warming the fertile earth after a long bout of winter. Birds chirp merrily, and a skein of clouds wander across the blue skies. Outside the city walls, a half-elf awaits. This wouldn't normally be an issue, but since it's Telamon Lupecyll-Atlon, it's a fair guess that whatever he's planning, it'll be strange, wonderful, and just a little confusing. He's wearing something new...")
- 12:01, 26 February 2025 Telamon talk contribs created page A Gift Lost to the Shadows (Created page with "Sage Orum's Plaza, midmorning It is a gloriously bright winter morning, blue sky as far as the eye can see though the cold north wind is having its way with anyone up and about this early on Ceriday, which to be fair, in this part of town, comprises of a couple of students leaning on each other was they do the drunkard's walk, presumably heading back to their dorms, and a rather despondent looking giant of a giantborn, who is standing outside the library. Presumably he...")
- 18:28, 22 February 2025 Telamon talk contribs created page Pursuit Through Dreams (Created page with "Shining Chalice Meetinghouse, midday It's been a couple days since the dust-up in the Observatory. Once Telamon had recovered from being rather unceremoniously forced back in his pursuit of Idoren, he had simply told the others he would 'be in touch' -- before stepping through a gate, and vanishing. And now letters have gone out to those involved, and a couple others, asking them to meet with the archmage at the Shining Chalice meetinghouse. A familiar place for some,...")
- 16:11, 15 February 2025 Telamon talk contribs created page Mages of Daeus (Created page with "Shining Chalice Observatory, evening It's later in the evening at the observatory. Someone - an individual listed as Aniutiom on the delivery, had called for several bottles of expensive champagne to be delivered to the Shining Chalice, and has yet to show up for them. Some members here and there of various other organizations have been asked to pick up the slack and carry boxes containing the champagne as well as a few other items that are... apparently incoming that a...")
- 21:19, 19 January 2025 Telamon talk contribs created page The Power of Flour (Created page with " What, exactly does it take to get kicked out of a Goblintown Gambling Hall? They're infamous for being dens of vice and thievery where the only shame in cheating is that you were caught. "AND STAY OUT!" The massive Oruch bouncer snarls as Skyler gets yeeted out into the street, laughing like a madman as he skids along the cobbled gobble streets and skids to a stop with limbs akimbo. The (former) pirate gets to his feet, tugs his coat back into position, and pulls a kn...")
- 00:50, 10 January 2025 Telamon talk contribs created page Hooves of Steel (Part 2) (Created page with " The party are left to lick their wounds and collect their thoughts after a rather brutal encounter with the mysterious demonic rider's hellish herd. It still wasn't entirely clear why he was here in the first place, although to judge by the scorched forest it seems like wanton destruction is a possibility. Either way, he is true to his word and leaves them be for the time being- not following nor harassing them as they regroup so far as the adventurers can tell. Which p...")
- 20:15, 29 December 2024 Telamon talk contribs created page Cats, Dolls, Bandits and Questions (Created page with "Ox-Strength Tavern, evening Carver sits in the corner, with her hood drawn up, smoking from a pipe. That when she exhales turns out to just be a strange toy she found at market, bubbles blowing out in ephemeral lives, existing and then no longer as their delicate structure POPS with musical notes. She turns the wooden device over in her scratched and dirty hands with a shadowy smirk. Two cups sit before her and what looks to be a half finished wooden horse she is hand...")
- 00:08, 20 December 2024 Telamon talk contribs created page Drinks On The TarRaCe (Created page with "The TarRaCe, evening The cold wind blows harshly across the city, dragging the snow around in deep drifts. With the Colosseum crowds greatly diminished, the regular crowd has been replaced with an older, sterner crowd. While the staff of the TarRaCe move with all their usual speed and grace, the atmosphere is more reserved. Casual. Tending bar is a diminutive, blue woman, her features distinctly a mix of Shark and Goblin. She works with quick aplomb, socializing and se...")
- 02:58, 9 December 2024 Telamon talk contribs created page Tidings of the Dolls (Created page with "The TarRaCe, afternoon The afternoon lull is settling in. Or it would be - the snow outside is making TarRaCe a particularly hot spot these cold days, taunting the passersby with promises of hot food, a hot fireplace and hot baths. The staff was kept busy serving the customers, taking orders and running food - but one of the staff members was seated alone in the corner table. "Tch." Aelwyn muttered, with his hands on his hips as he stared down at his trusted glaive. Hi...")
- 01:02, 6 December 2024 Telamon talk contribs created page A Serpentine Catch (Created page with " Alexandria Docks, afternoon It's a cold, blustery day out on the docks, with snow already coming in. More than a few ships have moored to try and wait out the incoming foul weather, and workers move around as swiftly as possible, garbed in oilcloth over warm-weather gear to keep the worst of the sea-spray at bay. There's a bit of a commotion down at one end of the docks, where a fishing ship has pulled into port looking slightly battered. It's clear they'll be waiting...")
- 01:02, 27 November 2024 Telamon talk contribs created page Familiar Faces (Created page with " Nasir Vali explains the job you quite clearly, and he's hired you before, some of you at least. This time he wants you to escort a wagon of goods to a specific location and leave it there to be picked up by someone else. Simple. Only he also explains that the last few missions that he's sent people on seem to have riled up the local banditry and they're on the alert now for activity. So... this might be a little more complicated than it might have been otherwise. He tel...")
- 18:47, 17 November 2024 Telamon talk contribs created page A Bottle of Dust (Created page with "Zeke's home is a warm, comfortable little place this time of year, owing somewhat to it's sith-makar occupants. Cuemoni has stepped out for some errands much to Zeke's chagrin, but the blue-scale is not allowing this to dishearten him to greatly; he is occupying himself with her tiny hunter-cat. Tlotli has only recently graduated from 'might be a snack' to 'might be a useful member of the household' in both the minds of the makari. Which is not something that the feline...")
- 14:18, 16 November 2024 Telamon talk contribs created page Becoming a Teacher (Created page with "Lupecyll-Atlon home, early evening Winter is on the cusp of arrival, the sun setting earlier and earlier each day. The winds blows what few leaves are left in the trees, and on the ground. It brings a promise of snow and cold to come. The Goblin is wrapped in her priestly garb, copper and blue robes with a hood, and despite seeming lightly covered, she is unaffected by the cold. The early darkness is held at bay by a soft glow that emanates from the Temperance herself....")
- 13:26, 3 November 2024 Telamon talk contribs created page Ravenkeeper's Tidings (Created page with "Colosseum, early morning The Colosseum was not its usual busy self this early - but regardless of the cooling weather and the dark skies, there were always people marking their spots and challenging themselves. And speaking of marks, a large swathe of the area has been carved with lit lanterns hanging off wooden polearms. Aelwyn takes in a deep breath and resettles himself - but soon his body is twisting and swaying to unheard rhythm, smacking the lanterns with his gla...")
- 11:54, 2 November 2024 Telamon talk contribs created page Caanan Returns (Created page with "Alexandria Festival Grounds, midday Harvest time! Always a cause for celebration, whether you're a farmer working the earth, or a city-dweller pursuing a craft, everyone loves a party. This one is... well, it's spirited but not raucous, and the reason seems to be two of the local druids, who are running what appears to be a 'petting zoo' for children. Of course, this being Alexandria, some of the creatures are... exotic. Best in show is a strange, blue-colored, spindly...")
- 23:23, 25 October 2024 Telamon talk contribs created page The Fiend Defeated (Created page with "The Castle on the Edge of Waking The guests have departed -- though, as Telamon graciously remarks, if things -ever- calm down they'll have to return for a proper party. Auranar will be filling Lana in on what happened, factoring it into their plans. Magpie probably has enough material for several papers, and Dremarim will get the opportunity to declare his death a bit premature. Albus, sadly, will have to remain as a book -- for now. "There's got to be a better way tha...")
- 02:19, 19 October 2024 Telamon talk contribs created page A New Face in the TarRaCe (Created page with " GAME: Murder rolls acrobatics: (3)+22: 25 The weather is poor today, with the promise of Winter in it's chilly, raw wind blowing down from the mountains to the east. The rain is just the misery cherry on top of the sad sundae. But the TarRaCe offers a respite from the chill rain and wind, brightly lit, with a fire burning brightly in the fireplace. The crowd of patrons is definitely lighter though, but it is enough to keep the staff of the TarRaCe hopping, moving abou...")
- 21:51, 15 September 2024 Telamon talk contribs created page Bad Lies, Good People (Created page with "Tenebrae - Sunday, September 15, 2024, 4:42 PM Sage Orum's Plaza, University District There's a strong wind today, but it's the only complaint that one could truly find as to the day. It's beautiful out. Sun is shinning. The sky is blue. Even the breeze which is only a little too rough is clean and smells faintly of the ocean it hails from. Three men in merchant garb walk close to one another. Two flanking the third and clearly hyping him up as they go. It's hard to ge...")
- 13:48, 14 September 2024 Telamon talk contribs created page Plotting in the Gardens (Created page with "Memorial Gardens, midday The day is sunny and warm, though the brisk wind from the northwest brings the Promise of Autumn. But the Gardens, as always, are spared the harshness of the seasons, remaining pleasant year round. People wander the place, while others are simply passing though, and a select few are settled on a blanket, enjoying an afternoon feast. The Goblin appears to be lost in thought, settled on a park bench. She's prepared for battle, dressed in her arm...")
- 10:14, 24 July 2024 Telamon talk contribs created page Heir to the Throne: Trouble in Unbundun Part 1 (Created page with " The City of Unbundun, capital of the Nulgab region of the Duivia Dukedom. By all means, the entire region is considered the breadbasket of Duivia, and offers a wide variety of grains, seeds, herbs, and spices to the greater Myrrdion Kingdom. It is also the main thoroughfare of most ground-based trade in the Duivia Dukedom. There are carts constantly going in and out of the city. At its center, the mainstay of markets; the Open Market District. There merchants from all...")
- 00:58, 22 July 2024 Telamon talk contribs created page Following a Portent (Created page with "Colosseum District, midday Another clear, bright, and hot day in Alexandria. Dusty, too, at least for those on the sands of the Colosseum. Bryn exits from the same, her verdant flesh covered in a mottled dusting adhered by sweat, a large curved blade stowed over her shoulder. Neither the blade nor herself are bloodied, though, which is a good thing... and better than she's been in the recent past. This bright and sunny day isn't as brutal as some, but there are always...")
- 22:37, 8 July 2024 Telamon talk contribs created page A Story Born of Hope (Created page with "Alexandria City, outskirts, late morning. There's a grassy meadow here, not far from the outer watch-towers which serve as a kind of demarcation for magicians; the limits of the Alexandrian ward. It's actually a familiar place for one Telamon Lupecyll-Atlon, who's standing there in the humid mists, waiting patiently. Dressed elegantly as always, but lightly in deference to the heat, a pale cream colored silk shirt over linen trousers and his boots, with a broad-brimmed...")
- 00:03, 4 July 2024 Telamon talk contribs created page Unravel Their Riddles (Created page with "Lupecyll-Atlon home, midmorning The sun blazes outside on this clear Tariday morning, washing over Alexandria and a two-story house in the University District in particular. The windows are open, the warm breeze flowing through the house, aided by a gnomish-built box-fan set in one of the windows and driven by unseen hands. Still recovering from an unexpected jaunt and some serious pain, Telamon is sprawled out on the couch, dressed in light cotton garments. A talltank...")
- 21:31, 2 July 2024 Telamon talk contribs created page Hunting Lore in the Library (Created page with " Mid-day on another summer's day, with a clear, blue sky that's almost painful to look at. The light is only slightly muted by the long curtains in the windows, but the temperature is comparatively cool compared to the outside. The usual array of library workers, students and arcanists wander, or have settled, in the library. One of the study tables, located almost as far away from the door as possible, has been occupied by one person. A Goblin in silver and gold chain...")
- 00:09, 29 June 2024 Telamon talk contribs created page Fiends and Fae (Created page with "Walking the Memorial Gardens in the early days of summer is a pleasant experience. The sun shinning in the sky. The world warm but not too warm for comfort. There's the gentle sound of insects and birds calling from tree to tree. Seeking the comfort of their own in the boughs of the trees still flushed with new greenery. It's the sort of day where everything seems beautiful and perfect. A black butterfly drifts closer, wandering aimlessly from flower to flower without mu...")
- 23:16, 25 June 2024 Telamon talk contribs created page The Weight of Expectations (Created page with "Lupecyll-Atlon home, noon The mists have come again to Alexandria, covering the city with a pale, moist blanket. With no wind at all, the city is uncomfortably warm. The knock at Telamon's door is followed by the door opening and closing, and a soft voice. "Hello? It's Simony!" The Goblin peeks around into the living room, her head canted to one side. A pale blue, silk kimono covers her from neck to ankle, covered in a quilted cherry blossom and crane motif. "Are you...")
- 21:54, 20 June 2024 Telamon talk contribs created page Pillory Blues (Created page with "Alexandria, Lower Trades District, late afternoon The aftermath of a good pillorying is the part that nobody really likes to talk about. Sure, it's a lot of fun watching someone be made into a spectacle for some sort of infraction against propriety. And we can all agree that throwing vegetables at a drunken lout is an amusing way to pass an evening. But after the initial burst of excitement, and after the miscreant has been left with his hands and head clapped between t...")
- 12:00, 16 June 2024 Telamon talk contribs created page Garden Lectures Under the Sun (Created page with " The Lower Alexandrian Gardens, midday It's a beautiful, if hot, day in Alexandria. People go about their business swiftly, dressed in light clothing, broad hats, and parasols to fend off the blazing sun. Still... it's necessary, for crops and people, for the sun to shine down so brightly. In the Gardens, there are gardeners... and teachers. Dressed in a sand-colored cotton tunic over linen trousers and dark boots, Telamon is speaking to a small group of University stu...")
- 22:17, 7 June 2024 Telamon talk contribs created page A Castle In My Dreams (Created page with "A PLACE OUT OF DREAMS Location unknown Telamon's dreams have been turbulent of late – constant tasks and quests have left him little time for more than simply sleep. But now he finds himself dreaming, walking along a sandy beach. Next to him ambles a tall, dark-skinned man, dressed in white breeches and a loose-fitting sailor's tunic. “Welcome back, Telamon,” the man says in a deep baritone, his teeth flashing in a broad, friendly smile. “It's been a while si...")
- 21:48, 2 June 2024 Telamon talk contribs created page Noodles After The Heist (Created page with "Goblintown, midday Goblintown never sleeps, she only takes a breather every now and then. Today is no different, except for the mists. The close in buildings, random construction and gaslight combine with the mists to form a claustrophobic space. As well, the industrious sounds of the place are muted echos. Without the sounds, it would seem empty and abandoned, with only the occasional person looming out of the mists to indicate that there are people here. The Goblin i...")
- 21:20, 27 May 2024 Telamon talk contribs created page Changing Seasons and Hearts (Created page with "Fernwood pub, noon With spring turning into summer now, the fire's hearth is empty of fire, and no longer the desired location for patrons. Which means its open for Aragos to sit at rather than his customary seat at the bar. He has his hair brushed (although it is still somewhat messy), and a cup of tea sitting near at hand that he keeps glaring at as though it has personally offended him. He doesn't even smell of booze. The bar itself isn't terribly busy at this hour,...")

Inside, there is a bit more explanatory text. Hi! Meet me in the lower gardens! Want some help with something! Please? It's signed with a small, smiling Goblin face. The Goblin herself is not too difficult to find. Her red gi contrasts with the overwhelming green of the gardens. She on all fours, under some shrub...")

A chill breeze blows down from the mountains nearby, taking the edge off of the sun's heat. The noodle stall is doing brisk business, it's bright awning buffeted by the wind as customers mingle and eat. The Goblin strides along ahead, her robes likewise buffeted by the wind, kept in place by her shiny breastplate, her deity's holy symbol engraved...")
- 23:33, 17 May 2024 Telamon talk contribs created page Noodles and a Future Heist (Created page with "Even in Goblintown, the mists descend, despite a few enterprising attempts to banish them. Numerous torches along the street are lit, providing beacons one can follow through the grey. One might think that the Goblins would have no need, and they honestly don't. It's that some of the bigger folk don't do as well in the mists. Goblins loath being stepped on or tripped over. And no one wants to crash into Bertie's Alchemical Fire & Gunpowder stall. Again. But the mists d...")

A few guards as well, though all (or nearly all) are very much past tense. After descending to a second level of worse living conditions. Fortunately(?), this level was all but empty of living occupants. The primary exceptions are the Dryad Neriae and the Makari youngling in a formerly hidden room. Neriae offers her assistance, but r...")

The citizenry go about their usual business at ease. Simony is also out and about, wearing a copper-coloured summer dress, protected by her wide-brimmed hat from the sun. Upon her back is a large, closed basket, and despite it's apparent heaviness, she carries it along as if it...")
- 23:54, 28 April 2024 Telamon talk contribs created page Morning in Goblintown (Created page with " The sun streams brightly through cracks and holes in the shutters, illuminating motes of dust floating gently in the air. The room is spare and clean, warm and dry. Outside one can hear the noises of Goblintown, as merchants, smiths, and others of all stripes trade, barter, haggle and argue. A noisy hubbub that makes for a constant background noise. The bed, the room's main piece of furniture, is occupied by a Half-Orc, whose size takes up most of it. But the occasion...")

The cheerfully warm tavern is relatively quiet, sailors have put out to see, and the Colosseum has no big ticket events currently. Mostly old codgers, a few sleeping drunks and the odd rogue or two are the place's patrons today. Them and a loudly singing Goblin. She's settled in one of the comfortable chairs by...")

The snow is thawing. A time of renewal. A time for the light to return and to cast out the dark. Cor'lana Lupecyll-Atlon stands with her husband in a field, sunshine pouring down from Daeus. She's dressed for war once again, but this time, she looks far more serene about it--or that the very least, she seems more reassured that there will be victory at grasp. Pothy swoops down from th...")

The snow just adds to the mood. From this mist and snow rushes a small form, her armored feet clanking and rattling along through the Noble Quarter. The noise continues right up to Telamon's doorstep. And then the knocking and bellringing begins. Whomever it is... is very insistent. "Ni'essa...")

This does not stop Simony, who arrives at the Lupecyll-Atlon door hovering a few feet off the ground. She reaches for the bell, and then pauses, as if unsure. The Goblin is there for some time as she seems to consider and ponder something at length. Letting out a huff of breath, she seems to make up her mind about something, an...")

People go about their business in the neighbourhood, a rather ordinary day. Until it's not.

The skies are clear, and if there's snow and ice piled hither and yon, well... that's what shovels, studded boot-soles, and oxen-drawn plows are for. And even in the chilly days of Pryntar, there's traffic. Wagons, men and women of various races on horseback, even those on foot. Travelers, merchants, farmers, adventurers. The gate guards are patiently passing...")

Cold enough that the snow on the ground is showing no signs of melting despite the sunlight, and sits in a powdery blanket over the earth, sprinkles from trees when the light breeze catches them.
