Clerics, Huitzis and Blue Stones
Kopeister and Gelfling talk to Gemini (1)
Time: 13.05.259, after the evening sermon
// On one of the clerics boards, Kopeister has suggested to found an // order of tolerant clerics, and Gelfling has written a reply to that // note. Now he wants to discuss it with his mentor. Kopeister grumbles in xyllic: can i help you today gelfling ? You nod smilingly. You say in xyllic: Oh... not really help, maybe just read my note and tell me what you think about it. Kopeister nods solemnly. Kopeister grumbles in xyllic: in the temple ? You nod solemnly. Kopeister grumbles in xyllic: oki i will do Kopeister rolls to an upright position and grunts loudly while getting up. // Walking to the upper discussion room This room has a heavy curtain on the eastern wall. At the western wall is a big tapestry depicting a fighting scene. At the northern wall is a shrine with two small statues of dragon and falcon. On the shrine are two books, both chained to the wall. The southern wall is ornamented by some pictures. The floor is covered by a big carpet. In the middle of the room is a large round table made of ebony surrounded by several chairs and eight armchairs. The armchairs at the northwestern and the southeastern place almost look like thrones. Above the table hangs a big chandelier from the ceiling. An open trapdoor is leading down. A bulletin board containing thirtyone notes. Hikaru is resting here. You sit down to rest a while. Kopeister stomps in. Kopeister smiles and greets you! Hikaru smiles at Kopeister. Kopeister grumbles in xyllic: checked for rassi hik ? Kopeister looks at the bulletin board containing thirtyone notes. Kopeister reads a note titled 'Re: Order of tolerant clerics'. Hikaru shakes his head in disagreement. Hikaru says in xyllic: not yet Kopeister sadly snaps his fingers. Hikaru says in xyllic: i will look for a vial Hikaru sits up and clambers to his feet. // This is the text that Kopeister is reading 31: Re: Order of tolerant clerics (13.05.259) --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Your thoughts sound very interesting to me. I would like to join such an order, because targets like those you mentioned were the real reason why I became a cleric: Relieving my mind from evil and destructive thoughts, finding inner peace and serving Rokoon. I would also like to mention that blind hatred, even towards the enemies of Rokoon, is a feeling that seems most destructive to me. I am far away from demanding completely peaceful behaviour from all clerics, and I will always be ready to support any team of fighters for the good, if they walk out onto the battlefield to defend an innocent victim against evil forces. If the attack is being started for a sensible reason, then I am ready to join the crowd, in order to kill - and perhaps die - for Rokoon. But on the other hand, it seems somehow sick to me, when Satais and Clerics search the world, just in order to kill any Necromancer and any Priest of the jungle snake they can find. I do not like them, but I must admit that I do not hate them either, whatever cruelty they might commit. And you can believe me when I say that I would have good reasons to hate them: It was one of those cruel, dark Priests of Huitzilopochtli (yes, I dare to spell the true name of true evil), who sacrificed my parents and destroyed our home. What should be the difference between us and them, if we acted as cruel and hateful as they do? Gelfling. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- // End of that note You say in xyllic: we should keep a vial in these rooms... Hikaru waves quickly. Hikaru leaves down. Kopeister nods solemnly. Kopeister grumbles in xyllic: your are stronger than me, i hate hotzels Kopeister sits down to rest a while. You emote: Gelfling thoughtfully looks at the carpet. You say in xyllic: Stronger? No... just burned out somehow. Kopeister grumbles in xyllic: and i hunt them and will go on for that Kopeister grumbles in xyllic: but that cant be all, and its not the main reason why i am here Kopeister hums a mystic melody. You emote: Gelfling tries hard to swallow his tears. Kopeister smiles at you. Hikaru arrives. You say in xyllic: I .. how shall I explain? If I hated them still, I would not be able to sleep a single night. Kopeister grumbles in xyllic: i thought this order could take a part of the evil and neutralize it in a meditative way Hikaru sits down to rest a while. Hikaru sighs deeply. Hikaru says in xyllic: no trace of the claw :( Kopeister grumbles in xyllic: no trace hikaru ? Hikaru drops a vial. Kopeister sighs deeply. Kopeister grumbles in xyllic: i think you handle right gelfling, at least very honorable Kopeister grumbles in xyllic: but i cant forget the blood of the orphanage kids Hikaru says in xyllic: well, i have to leave again... cu You emote: Gelfling looks up and smiles slightly. Kopeister hums a mystic melody. Hikaru waves happily. Kopeister waves sadly in Hikaru's direction. Hikaru removes a warhelmet. Hikaru drops a warhelmet and a waterskin (1/4l). Hikaru left this world. You say in xyllic: Do not forget that I am an orphan myself. Kopeister nods solemnly. Kopeister grumbles in xyllic: see i respect your way You say in xyllic: and it was me who found my parents... dead, their breasts cut open... I was 6 years old. Kopeister grumbles in xyllic: but i remember the times, as we only engaged as they harmed ppl Kopeister grumbles in xyllic: and they were free to do what they want if they were peacefully Kopeister grumbles in xyllic: but they learned only about all, and used their knowledge to make the pool of blood even bigger Kopeister hums a mystic melody. You nod thoughtfully. Kopeister grumbles in xyllic: but as long as you will engage i respect your behaviour and in my opinion its your free choice You say in xyllic: But how sick is this, hunting them like animals? What is then the difference between them and us? You think about it but fail. Kopeister hums a mystic melody. Kopeister grumbles in xyllic: where do we hunt them gelfling ? You say in xyllic: Well... some of these days I accompanied Ubinox on his ways... Kopeister grumbles in xyllic: most of that what u call a hunt happens when they are doing evil Kopeister grumbles in xyllic: i visit my friends the natives, and other prefered hotzel victims often Kopeister grumbles in xyllic: to let them beneath Rokoons protecting wings Kopeister grumbles in xyllic: ubinox is a wild one, u know Kopeister grumbles in xyllic: have u seen hikaru ever engaging ? You say in xyllic: and once or twice I went with Cestus... they did not only check the possible victims, they really searched the world, and nobody was killed on those days Kopeister grumbles in xyllic: u have to tolerate or convice other clerics You shrug helplessly. You say in xyllic: I would not call me a pacifist, I am not. Give me a good reason, and I am ready to join a fighting team. Kopeister hums a mystic melody. Kopeister grumbles in xyllic: and remember how many of us have been in their torture chamber You nod solemnly. You say in xyllic: I do remember that. Kopeister grumbles in xyllic: how many ppl were sneaked and killed without a chance You nod solemnly. Kopeister grumbles in xyllic: i dont know a solution Kopeister grumbles in xyllic: i am a blind mortal Kopeister grumbles in xyllic: and i pray to Rokoon to show me some light Kopeister grumbles in xyllic: and it seems as Rokoons light shows different clerics different aspects of life/behaviour You say in xyllic: I am certainly not as peaceful as, say Vyfken or Kawana or Hikaru... I do see reasons for a fight. but not for this blind hatred I had to watch... Kopeister hums a mystic melody. Kopeister grumbles in xyllic: try to cure your friends and brothers and sisters from that hate You emote: Gelfling thoughtfully looks down for a while. Kopeister grumbles in xyllic: take it from them and live with it, if you can, you will be soon known as a famous bearer of pain Kopeister grumbles in xyllic: but most of us can hardly bear the own pain Kopeister sighs deeply. Kopeister grumbles in xyllic: thats what i wanted to search in a group meditation You say in xyllic: How can I change them without judging them? I am not better or stronger than they are... Nor do I claim to posess the truth. Kopeister grumbles in xyllic: a way to come closer, get new visions Kopeister grumbles in xyllic: so if your arent a prophet, go the mortal way, the slow and stony way Kopeister grumbles in xyllic: live your life, be example, try to convince, but respect your brothers and sisters in Rokoon You emote: Gelfling take a deep breath. Kopeister grumbles in xyllic: saying that people sinned is easy, show them the way to go Kopeister shrugs sadly. You say in xyllic: Oh... life is not easy, and it has never been... Kopeister grumbles in xyllic: ony the trust in Rokoon can bring you on this way You emote: Gelfling sadly looks at Kopeister. Kopeister grumbles in xyllic: and if you trust in Rokoon and your friends you cant be despaired Kopeister grumbles in xyllic: yeah look at me and my scared body Kopeister grumbles in xyllic: i tried to go my way Kopeister grumbles in xyllic: i got sacrificed in the monastery by a former guildbrother Kopeister grumbles in xyllic: and i tried not to hate Kopeister grumbles in xyllic: but since they have started to torture, i do hate You say in xyllic: How many scars did you receive from them? Perhaps more pain than any other can imagine. Kopeister glares at something far distant. Kopeister grumbles in xyllic: i got killed or sacrificed from hotzel about 20 or 30 times in my life You emote: Gelfling gently touches Kopeister's right hand. Kopeister grumbles in xyllic: maybe more often, thats nothing thats important Kopeister hums a mystic melody. Kopeister grumbles in xyllic: but the broke my friends, wasted the place where i was born Kopeister grumbles in xyllic: destroyed so much trust Kopeister sighs deeply. You say in xyllic: That is more than anyone could bear. I think I can understand you now. Kopeister grumbles in xyllic: i still try not to hate them, and to have a look like a soldier Kopeister grumbles in xyllic: but it overcomes me, i hope u can be stronger You emote: Gelfling smiles bitterly. Kopeister hums a mystic melody. Kopeister grumbles in xyllic: we will see, maybe u r a prophet and just dont know Kopeister smiles hopefully at you. Kopeister grumbles in xyllic: and we could really need a new prophet You say in xyllic: Hatred, fear, rage - those feelings darken our hearts, they do not ease the pain in your soul. Kopeister grumbles in xyllic: only friends and the thoughts at Rokoon ease the pain in our souls Kopeister hums a mystic melody. Kopeister grumbles in xyllic: omen is telling me why we are talking here Kopeister grumbles in xyllic: he speaks of rivers full of blood Kopeister grumbles in xyllic: and a red eath Kopeister hums a mystic melody. You say in xyllic: Gemini? Why, tell him we are searching a way to bring love and peace into the world... Kopeister kneels down and thrusts his small holy sceptre of Rokoon into the ground. He spreads his arms and looks up. You smirk. You hear a falcon crying outside. Satisfied he gets up and collects his stuff. You kneel down and thrust your small holy sceptre of Rokoon into the ground. You spread your arms and await Rokoons answer. You hear a falcon crying outside. Satisfied you get up and collect your stuff. Kopeister grumbles in xyllic: he told me that they will kill, all clerics who arent worthy of sacrifice if we dont return the javelin You say in xyllic: can those dark priests see us here? Kopeister grumbles in xyllic: only if they use the watch tower You say in xyllic: but they have to know us by name, do they? Kopeister hums a mystic melody. Kopeister grumbles in xyllic: yes if they dont remember our faces they cant have a far look at us Kopeister grumbles in xyllic: u know where this magic place is ? You say in xyllic: No, I hear about it for the first time Kopeister hums a mystic melody. Kopeister grumbles in xyllic: i could show you if u like, buts very dangerous You say in xyllic: did you answer his call? Kopeister grumbles in xyllic: always ... he starts now the usuall wimpy/coward story Kopeister grumbles in xyllic: and he fears to meet me in person ... Kopeister grumbles in xyllic: u wanted a talk with a hotzel ? You say in xyllic: Hm... should I? Should I really? Kopeister grumbles in xyllic: now i can offer you a not dangerous oputunity Kopeister hums a mystic melody. Kopeister just summoned a blue stone. You say in xyllic: a blue stone? > Kopeister hums a mystic melody. You smile. Kopeister just summoned a blue stone but it vanishes again. A blue stone materializes in your hand. Kopeister grumbles in xyllic: if u want that i dont listen, i drop mine Kopeister hums a mystic melody. You say in xyllic: does he have one too? Suddenly your stone glows and some thoughts of Kopeister come into your mind: Rokoons greetings rotten one Kopeister sighs deeply. Kopeister grumbles in xyllic: he is hidden, i cant send a stone You say in xyllic: he seems not to be very talkative now... Kopeister hums a mystic melody. You say in xyllic: maybe wearing his hooded robe? Kopeister grumbles in xyllic: seems their armour protects him from getting a stone Kopeister grumbles in xyllic: yes the tells are from a robbed and hodded elf Kopeister hums a mystic melody. Kopeister just summoned a blue stone but it vanishes again. Kopeister grumbles in xyllic: now he has one Suddenly your stone glows and some thoughts of elf come into your mind: so u do want to convert to Huitzilopochtli ? Suddenly your stone glows and some thoughts of Kopeister come into your mind: greetings dark one, i sended this stones, cos my pilgrim still thinks that words could help some1 like you Suddenly your stone glows and some thoughts of Kopeister come into your mind: while i think that you are lost Suddenly your stone glows and some thoughts of elf come into your mind: ahh what is his/name ..perhaps I will ",m Suddenly your stone glows and some thoughts of Kopeister come into your mind: he has a stone too, he will talk to you now Kopeister hums a mystic melody. Kopeister lifts his hand and his skin is refilled magically. You think 'Perhaps you will what?' and then the words fade away. Kopeister drinks from a waterskin (0l). Suddenly your stone glows and some thoughts of elf come into your mind: ahh so perhaps I can make the pair of ye see the light Kopeister grumbles in xyllic: he asked me for weak clerics to train his bolts You say in xyllic: shall I tell him my name? You smirk. Kopeister grumbles in xyllic: if u fear to be cursed not, otherwise why not Suddenly your stone glows and some thoughts of elf come into your mind: I cannot understand how ye can think rokoon is a good god ? he is a coward and a wimp: Kopeister: waer schoen wenn man das ding hochgehen lassen koennte ... // Would be nice if you could make that thing explode Suddenly your stone glows and some thoughts of elf come into your mind: Praise Huitzilopochtli he will save ye Suddenly your stone glows and some thoughts of elf come into your mind: perhaps I will "meet" you one day little slave of kopeister Kopeister grumbles in xyllic: shall i listen ? or do u want yoour personal conversion ? Kopeister grumbles in xyllic: if you feel not ready for such a talk drop the stone imediatly
