[OOC Jaliera would sacrifice Whisper to save Davroar. Of course she really hopes both will survive. Shame she's not 13th level! ]

Happy Birthday!

On the way ... in a bit <g>

THere is that ... if all three are equally appealing <g>

Hmmm, I don't know what I was looking at to do that. Make turn 33 three of a kind in column 1 then.

Thanks.

Lyric, of wuffs and smiles

Lyric blushed a little darker when Cesare said aloud that he liked her just the way she was. Did that mean with all her eccentricities? Did that include her occasional absentmindedness and whimsical distractability? What about when she became serious and spoke about heavier things, or when she accepted burdens for things that would see the fate of others decided by the choices she made? But she blushed and looked down at her mug. His words were a kindness to her all the same.

She was a Minstrel and she told tales of other people. So when Keiko defended their ability to be both philosophers and fighters in response to Daxia drawing distinctions in traveling companions.

"I am just a Minstrel, neither Philosopher nor Warrior were I to have my own say in the matter." But Lyric knew and accepted that seldom was there ever a choice offered when Fate and Destiny intervened to reveal a journey before a person so touched by their attention. She had done what had to be done, because she was capable of doing it. There were others in those mines whose courage far exceeded their abilities and means. Those were the stories that needed to be told. Not hers. But again, Keiko's words were kindness. They were simple and direct and not meant to bolster deeds nor did it minimize the losses and the sorrow that came with that.

Conversation turned again around the table and there was talk of an Alliance between Home and Dawnview Vale and Eleni was intrigued by the idea of Wolves made people. The Pack. She wanted to meet a member of the Pack. Was that so? Was that what she wanted? Or was it that she wanted to really meet a Wuff, since all Wuffs were part of the Pack but not all pack members were Wuffs. Lyric believed it to be the latter, since they came to this point in the conversation by way of wolves in the first place. Besides, what was there to say? It would open up matters to discussion. Eleni had so many questions and when she wanted to know something she was relentless. How is that that Lyric came to be a part of the Pack? Hmm... Again, this wasn't her story to tell because it wasn't the most important thing to understand about what was happening their in that room where Wuff and Dwarf met.

"It can be, Dama Eleni," Lyric replied when Eleni turned her overly enthusiastic statements about rain back around as a means to pry further. Eleni had the Gift of finding important things in the words of Others. Lyric had the Gift of recognizing when someone was capable of doing that. "Soft and Gentle, that is. But it can also be harsh and indifferent. Unyielding even. Unforgiving as well. But soft and gentle are the things I would want to share most with others were it mine to share."

She tipped her head a little left, then right, in consideration of her next spoken thought. "But to be honest, I like the thunderstorms myself. There is magnificent beauty in the power of a storm. There is danger and the thrill of excitement that comes with it. All that is 'soft and gentle' combined with fierceness and suddenness that pushes the winds to drive the rain when it must and to relax in peace when it can. The lightning that dances across the sky and snapping it's reach to the land to prove that it has the strength and determination to touch every part of the land and sea, to reach out and make the connection, to let itself be known as well."

"But now I have allowed myself to speak beyond my chosen portfolio as a Minstrel and pretend I am a Philosopher. I seem to have muddled my earlier contention."

When Eleni set forth her conditions for admittance to the Valley for which this Keep stood as guard, Lyric waited her for her requirement to be proscribed. It was easy enough to do, harder to hold when she still had so much raging in her mind and heart. And so Lyric smiled for Eleni, genuine and honest.

In any single moment, if one were to focus on it with enough resolve, one could slow the world down and find shelter from all the other moments that weighed a heart so heavy.

"Your words are wisdom Dama Eleni. You are perceptive. Less the world though and more the wanderer, then the wisdom rings of truth to my heart."

Order of Play:

• AJ - 29
• Gypsy - 60
• Argus - 67
• Exeter - 73
• Weez - 97

Options are slim. AJ takes a small risk with a low card and is rewarded with the last seat at Row 1's table. Gypsy once again finds herself just below Argus, collecting 5 points this time. Argus and Exeter follow along. Weez is lucky enough to have a card that fits on Row 3 which nobody bothered to bust.

Round 2 Turn 5

TURN START POSITION


Play in order of lowest card first:

AJ 4
Argus 20*3
Exeter 21
Weez 72
Aqua 81

Heh.. same order as last round!

So AJ steps forward for another low scoring bust and takes row 2 for 2 points!

This leaves everyone rushing to claim the last three spaces on the new row 2. Thing is.. there are four of you. The axe swings and falls on Aqua's neck. He takes 7 points of damage. Ooops

Next choices via PM please.

Thank you everyone. I like the marquee

Sasha


The Baroness Xanthippe led the servant into the room as Jaxon followed.

Once they had all come to a halt, Sasha looked at the servant, one eyebrow quirked upward in a questioning expression, not exactly sure how to start the conversation or, perhaps, interrogation.
