The Clipping [Updated March 22Nd]

[Corndoggeh 9]

As you can see Ravens, my words are never to be taken lightly. As a man of honest word it should have been known of what I would bring to the table of destruction to Aliquam.

I have also heard rumors of how Relgard payed off the headguard to turn a blind eye to him coming in and out of the city, does this not reek of corruption? I myself have been able to walk in and out freely as if I was a welcomed guest.

The only sure way of destroying this red taint is by fire and sword. Many times I have defended you all; my brothers. At times when I built a fortress within the verge, which housed hundreds to escape the undead, all were welcomed under our wing. But I see it.. I see now that I had been a blind fool to follow you. The once pure hearted members have either left or perished such as Melataron.

To the mass that call themselves White Ravens, I would love to see and come to this meeting alongside dear Syrila, destroying a taint will be easier and less...Messy... if we can come and wipe the source of it. I await Ravens...

Very well, I will speak to Rae. I will await you for the meeting.

Honestly I think id be best to just tear out that eyesore and place it in a much more appealing area.. but who would listen to a barmaid?

*sits there petting the black mew mew balanced on her shoulder

A good old friend of mine is expected to visit them soon enough himself... his name is Hochmeister Mirtok, he should come with his two favored men and chat with you as well..

Too bad.. here I was hoping to give some of the babies Eris had to the Ravens..

*giggles and rubs the head of a large cat beside her

Poor little birds.. I hope they protect their eggs a little better than they do the nest

[Tempir Amedaius 12]

Wasn't this war over Relgard and his spectres? And not the Ravens themselves? Relgard has officially left Aliquam.

*You see a painting*

[DecoLamb 959]

It was more the fact you did not defend Barius, your brother. You did not take action against him when he was found out to have tried to assassinate Barias, you valued the words of Relgard, an outsider, over yiur own. Those that tried to help, broke their backs trying to guve to you were ignored and being berate to leave constantly.

You even wish to expant into the wretched grove, a tainted place..

You make a girl who looked to you as saviors, as heros, afraid to look you in the face, terrified you might hurt the ones she loves.

The Ravens, in this barmaids opinion, no longer exist. The last true raven died with Mel. All that is left is a flock of power ravenous carrion birds who favor one who would murder an infant over their own brother.

And what proof is there that he has truely left? All I see is HIS symbol, HIS mark painted over the entire board, blanketing out the notes if any resident.

It is time you admit that you have fallen.

[Tempir Amedaius 12]

We were not informed about the assassination until the day of his resignation. He told us and we offered to help, he denied. I did not trust Relgards words over Barias'. Everyone agreed he acted weird lately, we offered for him to take a break, he denied.

[DecoLamb 959]

Do you really need to be informed? Does the fact that someone, ANYONE got close enough to do what was done, bother you? Did you never once feel the tension and agression when he was mentioned? Did you never once feel the seething hatred stemming from me, a simple barmaid?

You try to puff your feathers and preen now, saying that youve removed the ticks from your wings. But does the fact that they were there at all not call for concern? Does the fact that they sucked blood for that long from your own bqck not offend you.. not egen in the slightest?

[Tempir Amedaius 12]

Very well... So I assume the war is on the Ravens now?

[Cethis Vincrute 13]

You dare to call us lairs Tempir? I took everything to Aodran, as he was above the rest of you, and Ogedi was never around.I went to Emberhard, and all the bishops, except you, for you were always in Sevenits. I was berated and told to leave with Barias, being told the whole town was against us. We had done nothing wrong, and yet you called us to leave. Even when I was threatened I left it to you to deal with. But it was when he threatened those tha I cared about that I went to Aodran again. And the only thing he did was shove the tennants in my face saying I had broken them, claiming I had my vision clouded by the women I cared for. But it was not I who broke the tennants. It was you all.

I never once called you liars, I tried to help you Cethis I tried to help you as I knew out of the two of you, you would listen. Do you seriously think that even if I wanted you here I could stop it? No, Aodran is higher up then me and he can deny basically everything I do. Let's review the tenants, shall we?

Peace - We tried to make peace, we offered for Barias to step down, take a break and settle this. Yet you are the ones acting upon this war.

Logic - I tried to see your story, and along with the other Ravens. I went with was best for all of us, we agreed that both of you changed. I went for the best and asked for you to take a break.

Tenacity - No matter how much I disliked Tassel, I used my magic to clean the tools. I don't care if the man or women is my worst enemy. I didn't give up on you, if I gave up, I could have let Tassel die.

Balance - I tried to listen to both of your stories, like listed earlier. I tried to maintain balance between the story and pick what was best for us.

Purity - There were rumors of Majora sucking the life out of victims, yet you still were on her side. Tassel is the one that broke us up, you protected her way to much. Did you ever come to someone for help? No. Instead, you went to that girl Tassel and asked her.

*Darius enters the conversation with a stern voice*

Ye will leave er there will be a battle. Unless ye expect te return me diamonds? As a matter of a fact, if I get me diamonds back and ye can bloody keep the land. I will expect nothin' less than 50 diamonds.

[Tempir Amedaius 12]

We don't have any diamonds, nor do we have that much money. Barias has left with the money. ((Plus the money wipe didn't help))

I do not remember you coming and talking directly to me....

[DecoLamb 959]

Barias did not take a damn penny with him when I took him away from you. Nor did Cethis. Nor did Emberhard.

And for the RUMOR, which you never took the time to dispell directly I might add, its untrue. She is not some succubai from Dunbarton dungeons. We GAVE her energy willingly to heal those we cared fir, to save each other from extreme agony and pain. I gave energy to heal the wound Barius suffered from the assasination attempts. Cethis gave me energy, as well as Barias, to help with the mahir injuries I suffred in my work. Barias and Cethis bith noticed even the slightest twinge of pain in my expression, and always assisted me.

I guess its because they noticed the work I did, and were thankful for it.

You wish to speak of logic and balance, peace and purity...

Id love to talk about how Daegrim went mad that night and danced upon my bar, trampling the food I had labored all morning to make with special ingredients I had traveled miles to obtain. The sweet buns I had made, intending to give to the ravens to sweeten dull guard duty, absolutely ruined.

The plates I had made with my own hands with my own clay, broken to shards beyond repair.

I went out every day hunting wild game, to feed the ravens should they ask.

I went out and gathered material to give ravens time to rest and recover, risking great injury to myself.

I bought herbs, or traveled great distances to find them, to flavor food and drink, to fill a WR belky better than before.

I worries over the well being of everyone in town, and did my best to watch from afar. I still have an arrowhead in my shoulder that I shielded Corvus from when he decided to run off after skeletons in the desert.

I sent letters to my trade partners, trying to convince them to alter their route to run through here, bring you more revenue..

I could go on, but do I really need to?

[Dun_Irongut 104]

I will be expectin' me diamonds...
