I'm guessing it was supposed to be "the next festival".

	ratboy
	[11 May : 14:15]
What does the Ext festival mean? An on a side note do trade crafts like courtesan stack with poet for the propose of peoples reaction?

Is it too late to enter a poem? (got blocked for a bit). Here is my poem(if it is not to late). The one who comes to do harm Feels the most pain The one who does nothing Feels the most guilt The one who's motive is revenge Feels no satisfaction.

Are they making a big fuss out of "vampire!!!" or has that mostly passed now that Curves is out of the picture?

The judges confir and have reached a decision. First- anyone who submitted a poem gets 1 lvl in poetry added to their character. Second, each then receives double their lvl in poetry in gold OR 8 gold whichever is more. Many of the poems seem to have stirred up a lively debate. There is an excitement and joy in the people in the square and they ask you to present your poems again at the. Ext festival. The poems about unity and flowers are especially well received. Stone is taken in for questioning... But other than that, it is a joyous event. The following poems win further praise Linders poem Kira's Poem Iryas poem You may choose from the following- Gain honor- and present your poem to the high council Cash prize of 200 gold A magical boon from the Sorikonians

In the hopes that it can still be entered: Poem by Lindor (no levels in poet). asking a question Where do the dead heroes go When the riddle writer's written And the song sung so When the last dragon dies And the last priest cries To the god who left him empty And faithless on the side Where do our loved heroes go When this withered world whispers What the dead men know And we all lie broken On an ash grey scene Where our time is ended But where there's no new seed Where do all our whispen heroes go When all is done And life has stopped its flow When twilight has fallen The dark and the light When the sightless ether has ended its might Where do the dead heroes go?

	[09 May : 19:27]
I think this is where i am supposed to send in my poem. And I hope it's not too late. It's from my vampire character Dracon. "How thick is Blood?" Roses are bloody red. Violets are veiny blue. I know what your thinking But I might not kill you. I had to leave the battle I oh so loved. All because of my incredible lust for blood. I see mankind as a snack with a sword. Some day soon you will call me your lord. I've been chased out of town with silver crosses and stakes. I have yet to know how you got silver rakes. I suppose it's my pale skin that gave you the hunch. That you had the right to kick me out for eating my lunch. My skin may be pale and my hair may be rad. But does that really make me so bad?

	akpaley
	[09 May : 16:11]
Note. Karen's poem and mine are both "answer a question" poems.

	Terisio
	[09 May : 13:51]
Chris, if it is not to late to say so Mong is going to dance while he is giving the poem (if that would fit the setting). It is an interpretive dance of his poem with the chess piece and time metaphors. He has Dancer level 16.

Posting from a school computer. Amara and Iraya each have a level in aurator which can translate into poet.

	Taurewen
	[09 May : 03:36]
On the hope that it is not too late... Poem #1, by Kira (no levels in poet). Asks a question. Lead your children hand in hand Dancing through the day Lead them to another land Help them find their ways Through words and weapons wielded well Where flowers one will find; Or else where war-wrenched denizes dwell And all its stricken kind; Which future did you find to be Laid at your younger feet - And what future do you mean to leave For youth to make and meet? --- Poem #2, by Aurora Nightsong (also no levels in poet). Answers a question. Children ask storms' pause Not knowing that the rainclouds Are only themselves. ---

The council is deliberating on your entries, winners will be posted tomorrow evening. Thank you for your submissions. We are honored by your eloquence and grace, oh loquacious ones.

	[09 May : 02:07]
Aaaaaaand posting on behalf of Karen, who is *also* currently blocked by the FanWar site. xD By Iraya, who has no levels in poet. All flowers have beauty in their own way Whether elegant, dainty, or bright So each deserves to say what it will say Each deserves to stay in sight But roses and orchids will still tower over From the high ground in which they were set Dwarfing the small daisy and tiny closer Drawing all eyes to themselves, and yet -- Yet the clover will still more easily please The most important figures they meet They quickly impress the butterflies and bees Because their nectar is still just as sweet.

	Taurewen
	[09 May : 01:39]
By the way - poem "The Order" is asking an answer.

	Taurewen
	[09 May : 01:38]
(Do I get any levels in messenger for this? xD) (No that is not a serious question)

	Taurewen
	[09 May : 01:37]
Posting this one on behalf of Allison, who is *also* blocked from the FanWar site. It's written by Amara, who has no levels in poet. Title: The Order A flower 'neath the cherry tree One for you and one for me One for friendship, one for luck Over these flowers a deal was struck We stand for peace in the face of war We recreate what came before And we preseve forevermore The balance that was once the core A battle with flowers, not with blades Fought with speeches, not with raids With laughter on the battlefield And the smiles that we openly weild We reach out to the frozen hearts And make the flower of feelings start With flowers 'neath the cherry tree One for all who wish to see

The council kindly denies this second poem by the honorable Mong of the Iron Disciples. Only one poem per person is permissible. You must state one, and only one, for you cannot take back your words, just as you cannot take back your actions in battle. You must choose the best actions and only have one chance to make it.

	Taurewen
	[09 May : 01:21]
And another on behalf of Nick; for Mong again (lvl 16 poet). There once was a boy, lost in the wing Taken in by rough hands not of kin This little boy knew not of where he came But in the end, it was all the same. This place of my heart This place of my dream This past of pain This past that is slain Who is that person that you see staring back from a mirror? Who is that person that takes you aback? Who is that person who inspires such terror? Who is that person that feels like a slap? Who is that person hunting you down? Who is that person helping you drown?

	Taurewen
	[09 May : 01:18]
Another on behalf of Scott; this time for a character named Taka, who has no levels in poet. Will you remember the wind, a touch of air? Will you remember the earth, and the lives of those there? Will you remember the sky, a plane of blue? Will you remember the rainbow, possessing infinite hues? Will you remember the souls, bringing life over strife? Will you remember the memories, reminders of life?

	Taurewen
	[09 May : 01:14]
And posting this one on behalf of Nick, who is also currently blocked. It's by Mong (lvl 16 poet), and it asks a question. Time is called many things A river, a lake, a wheel, or wings Yet it travels ever onward After we're dead and gone So which of us are the pawns? Who are the bishops and who are the knights? Who are the castles surrounded by lights? The queen is there too, though may not be seen The signs of her passage only felt where she's been Now the last question, most important of all Who is the king, and when will he fall?

	Taurewen
	[09 May : 00:58]
I'm posting this on behalf of Scott, who is currently blocked from FanWar. It's written by his character Masamato (lvl 54 poet). The poem asks a question. Imagine a tree, young and green Tended by a spring, their potential unseen Now the tree is older, and putting out some limbs And though the spring is greater its devotion never dims And as each limb blossoms, the flowers falling to the ground The water moves ever on, never making a single sound Then a new tree comes, growing from the old Yet this one has no water, growing lifeless and cold This land has been transformed into dust, that which once was green The water devoured by the trees, the spring an ancient dream.

is this D

	Terisio
	[04 May : 15:05]
I dunno... it was happening late at night and the only other witnesses were Iron Disciples, so I'm not sure if it would be common knowledge. I do know however that Mong, for one, will not be going around and talking about it.

	ratboy
	[04 May : 13:05]
Probably, it wasn't particularly discreet

	Taurewen
	[03 May : 18:50]
Is what happened during the RP common knowledge?

	Taurewen
	[03 May : 18:50]
This IS Sorikonia. Warded stuff is not that uncommon here. Example: Sashi Saber. So I'd at least guess that it whatever it was was probably warded, yes. (Or else it's some other supergross thing that we don't know about. There's always that option too.)

	Tyr
	[03 May : 17:25]
How did they take you down mister pacifist? Warded?

	ratboy
	[03 May : 16:37]
No, he had magic resistance

	Tyr
	[03 May : 16:01]
Why were you not able to heal Nick? Was he dead?

	ratboy
	[03 May : 14:58]
Well, that could have turned out a lot worse than it did

	Taurewen
	[02 May : 21:54]
Quinn - nope, you're all fine. "Fine" probably meaning that you got hit with dirty dark, but you all were healable and thus didn't get hit with morganti.

	Tyr
	[02 May : 21:34]
Did Scott or Nick (or me) get hit with Morganti?

	Terisio
	[02 May : 20:37]
What happens with the Tomb afterwards? Is there any sense of what the howling was?

	GameMasterChris
	[02 May : 01:18]
There is no sign of them now- though they never seem to have left the city.

	GameMasterChris
	[02 May : 01:17]
okay, that's all for tonight- you all wake up later, being healed by Iron Disciples. They tell you you fought well and thank you for the help. The Ninja didn't get into the tomb in the end- they Morgantied the last Iron Disciple, but many more ID were advancin on them, when their fallen Ninja Respawned they all took off and had ID chasing them all over the city into the night.

	GameMasterChris
	[02 May : 01:13]
[Quin] is wondering if they got hit with Morganti too.... he makes an attack on the Ninja and hits, with a couple of slashes which have good effect but then the Iron Disciple next to you crushes the Ninja - you think your okay until you realize one has gotten behind you and a sword is sticking out of your back. You go down... that's all you know

	Tyr
	[02 May : 01:10]
Coner or Chris you can play me. See you on the weekend. Good night.

	Tyr
	[02 May : 01:02]
If the ID took the hit and they do not seem to be focusing on me I will do he first thing i said.

	The Warden
	[02 May : 00:58]
Nick and Scott are wondering if they got hit by Morganti.
