Chikram, the ruins directly north of Raktam. Will there be any potential killing involved at this event? Of shargles, people, etc.? Offensively or defensively?

The Queen Arrives

monaliza walks in, her billowing, cobalt clue skirt making it a grander-than -expected entrance. Behind her, attendants burdened with vast amounts of luggage and bags line the walls of the hut.
You say “lovely to see you all," after reaching the center of the room and turning back around to address the group at hand.”

monaliza looks slightly puzzled as she scans the scene.

You say “why are you all in my dressing quarters?”

monaliza smiles sheepishly. "I do not think Baraka would approve one bit.:
monaliza smiles again and motions that her first outfit be readied and waiting next to the bath.
monaliza walks over to the bathing area, water still spilling into the tub from the roof above.
monaliza turns back around and looks at: azuma, Anthor, jaqs, Betrayal, Hobo Vampire, Leaky Bock an outsider and one spirit. She points up and says, "I see you there," with a knowing squint
.
You say “you are all really just going to stand there?”

monaliza reaches into a side pocket on her skirt. She draws out a glowing, red oval with teardrop pointed ends. She tips it back it and forth between her hands then raises above her head.
monaliza CRACKS open the radiant orb and you are instantly surrounded by echoing glass clinkling, but not falling and milky blurred vision.

monaliza does nothing as you are swept away in the warm energy released. Toasted hazelnut and sourwood aromas overtake your attention and you are pulled further into your dreams.


°°°°°°°°°° °°°°°°°°********** ********°°°°°°°°°° °°°°°°°°********** ********

monaliza gets everything done, cleaned, sorted and dressed comfortably before she sees a single person move a bit.

monaliza is sitting on a long, deep purple, afternoon couch. The intricate vine work on the wooden form reminds you of the kind of jewelry The Queen enjoys wearing.

You say “well now, as I said, this IS my personal dressing room. So if you would care to follow me, we can arrive at the commencement of the festival.”

You say “it is NE of here and will happen in roughly thirteen hours from now.”
You say “then each day, we will move one plot, in moon-wise- direction and ending in the NW.”
You say “thank you for coming here. I look forward to seeing each and every one of you at the event! Remember to bring your blades. On the final day there will be a GRAND competition.”

monaliza clasps her hand together and heads for the doorway.


You carve The Queens Private Bathing Hut and Royal Changing Rooms. onto the wall.

AlexanderRM says “The people seem surprizingly uninjured, and there is a noticeable lack of bodies, in any case.”
AlexanderRM says “Perhaps they are engaging the Elder Race in meditation and spiritual rituals.”
AlexanderRM says “I really must be prepared for Halloween, though. We've less than a week left, and I haven't really managed to get prepared much.”

You say “share with us, with me. How these animals have taught you or made you laugh. Maybe something else, another way they have taught you about yourself.”
monaliza pulls out a small silver and tourquoise whistle and blows it, letting the chain hold the silent-beacon as she drop it and it swings around her neck.

Celebrations of Sight and Sound

Eyes of a Hawk suddenly speaks from the back of the crowd moving to front as he does "Shargles, the most versitile animals on and off this island"
Eyes of a Hawk says “The only animal that has the ability to appear anywhere on any terrain on and off this island. ”
Eyes of a Hawk says “The only animal that can devour you no matter where you sleep, on or off this island. ”
Eyes of a Hawk says “They can be used as weapons or worshiped as pets, as was Alpha...”
Eyes of a Hawk raises a single fist into the air while looking towards the ground in honour of the fallen beast.
Eyes of a Hawk says “I dream of the day when the core of the mountain swarms with hundreds of ferocious, deadly and man-eating shargles. They should be feared, admired and adored in one single thought. ”
Eyes of a Hawk says “A truly individual beast. ”

AlexanderRM claps.
AlexanderRM says “Well, I've managed to free up quite a bit of inventory through healing. I'm almost veering towards too many herbs.”

jaqs says “I see a monkey.”

Leaky Bocks says “aaBsjDe” with a slight accent.
Leaky Bocks says “oh baOoother!” with a slight accent.
Leaky Bocks shuts up.
Leaky Bocks kills the shargle with a machete.

Hobo Vampire kills the monkey with a machete.

Caranae starts as she sees many familiar and unfamiliar faces. "Quite the crowd we have here."
Caranae seats herself on the ground and pulls her legs up to her chest. She rest her chin on her knees and watches everyone, an occational silver light flitting across her eyes.

Nokomis looks around "There are a few familiar ones though" and grins
Nokomis puts her pack down and sits next to Caranae
Nokomis says “Before we do dance today, we would like to know if there is someone in the crowd that would enjoy assisting us? *grins evilly*”

Caranae stands and looks around at those gathered. "Hmmmm I suppose I should chose someone then."
Caranae walks around and sniffs the air near many heads. She stops before Hobo Vampire and smirks. "You will do, my sweet smelling Eoo."

Nokomis settles herself on a nearby rock and pulls her drums out of her pack. She smiles at everyone.
Nokomis A tribute to the lovable predatory creatures that stalk the mountain tops and the high jungles.
Nokomis begins a low beat on the drums, occasionally tapping the side loudly to add a high pitch.

Caranae slides her tiger pelt cloak to the ground next to the drummer and moves her way to the center of the clearing.
Caranae begins lightly tapping her feet in a chaotic tempo, the seashell anklets clacking together wildly creating a clash with the drums.

Nokomis begins to almost drum roll her fingers on the sides between her heart thumping bangs on the drums.

Caranae slides her way over to Hobo Vampire and places a fingertip on their lips. She gets close and stares them in the eyes.
Caranae 's eyes flash silver and Hobo's eyes follow suit as a thin wisp of smoke forms between them.
Nokomis quickens the low beats. She begins slamming one foot to the dry ground adding to the rhythm.
Caranae pulls at the smoke between herself and Hobo and glides backwards with it as her hips begin to shake.
Caranae throws her arms in the air pulling the smoke tight around her as she begins to turn. The smoke becomes a silver thread as she spins faster and faster.
Caranae hunches forward as the thread wraps around her torso. The silver light follows the form of her body and disappears in her now crouched position.

Nokomis slams one last hard beat and begins a frenzied tap to the rims of the drums.

Caranae unfolds and thrust her arms before her, in her hands a silver and pulsing shargle egg rests.
Caranae turns a few more times as she pulls her arm back and throws the shargle egg to her partner.

Nokomis stops her drumming just long enough to catch the spirit egg. She places it in the middle of the larger drum and begins her heart pumping throbs again.
Nokomis begins a dance all her own, standing next to the drums and slapping the sides with one hand as she hits the center of the large drum with the other.

Caranae falls to the ground, her movements becoming predatory as she watches the egg that bounces on the drums and makes her way towards it.
Caranae slides her way across the clearing, occasionally allowing on foot to hammer a beat into the ground, the clacking fitting with the beat this time.

Nokomis turns as she claps her hands a few times and hits the drums, making the shargle egg jump wildly with every pulse.
Nokomis rolls the egg around her arms between hits the egg growing in brightness with every passing second.
Nokomis throws her head back and laughs as the shargle egg begins to crack and shake violently.

Caranae watches as the egg bursts apart, a shining silver shargle standing atop the drums in its place.
Caranae pounces at the shargle as the shargle leaps from the drums and towards the crouching dancer.

Nokomis seats herself as she begins a fast frantic clapping of the drums, a high pitched cacophony.

Caranae wrestles on the ground with the shargle for a moment. As she gains her feet she begins shaking her hips and marking steps around the steadily growing beast.

Nokomis whistles for a second and a wisp of smoke separates from the creature and comes towards her.
Nokomis keeps time with one hand as she grabs at the smoke with the other. In the blink of an eye she holds high a heavy sword.
Nokomis tosses the sword towards Caranae.

Caranae turns and catches the sword, the tip falling to the ground as she stands face to face with the shargle.
Caranae begins a death dance with the beast moving with it as she thrust the sword and dodges fangs and claws
Caranae winces as a claw scraps against her arm, blood welling up from the spot it struck. She swings wide with the heavy sword and chops the creature in half.

Nokomis slows the beat, the low pulse from the beginning returns.

Caranae snaps her fingers and the sword returns to smoke. The smoke of the now dead shargle and the sword mingle and glow.
Caranae falls to the ground as the smoke quickly takes on the likeness of a monstrous sized shargle, it maw wide as it bends to swallow the dancers.

Nokomis lets loose one last resonating blast as the jaws of the beast devour the two in the clearing. The smoke rising as the shargle loses its form.
Nokomis can be seen sipping on a gourd of berry juice as the smoke finally clears and the dancers are visible again. A satisfied smile on her lips.

Caranae says “Hey, why do you get the first drink? I even got injured by the dang spirit beast!”

Nokomis throws another gourd of juice at her partner and grins. "Afraid I am not sharing this time, rather tasty spirit and I got to it first."

Caranae sulks a little but accepts the other bottle. She grimaces as she takes a drink, "Two day old spirits isn't what I want after a good dance..."
Caranae blinks as she looks up from her drink. "Looks like I called the animals again...Look at all those little shargles."

Nokomis looks over at the many shargles that just showed up. "I told you you could dance well."

Cobalt Manticore says “Shargles taught me... Inside no kill, Outside defend, attacking they're enemies, surrounding they're friends. But never, ever turn your back on them, for they represent chaos.”
Cobalt Manticore says “And it is for this I commit this Shargle's blood to the thirsty earth, it's bones to the hungry trees, it's flesh to the preying animals. Animal Vegetable and Mineral all draw from the Shargle.”
Cobalt Manticore kills the shargle with a machete.

Anthor claps loudly at Caranae & Nokomis' performance

Caranae swishes her berrywine around in the gourd and looks at Nokomis. "So...stop me if you've heard this one."
Caranae says “A pirate, a yorkie, an orwhan and a cannibal walk into a bar.”
Caranae says “The bartender asks "What can I get for you? Pick your poison".”

Caranae says “The pirate "I think I will have a fungal juice with a side of rum". The yorkie, "Berrytini please, light on the tini".”
Caranae says “The bartender turns to the Orwhan, "And what can I get for you today?" The Orwhan smiles at the pirate and the yorkie, "I think I will have a lead-bellied yappy dog with a spirit of berrywine.”
Caranae says “The bartender looks a bit distraught as his two other costumers fall over suddenly. He mutters, "I lose more costumers that way..." ”
Caranae says “The Orwhan smiles again and points to the cannibal by the door, "Don't worry. I brought a garbage disposal."”

Anthor says “For me, the Shargles stand for hope, peace, and the circle of life”

Caranae chuckles and pulls a tear from her eye, then she glances up at Anthor. "Terribly sorry, dear Eoo, I didn't realize you were speaking. Please continue."

Anthor says “No, that was a very funny joke. I nearly fell off my Shargle laughing!”

Caranae notices he has gone still and glances back to her partner. "So I hear Ahnaom is opening a bar soon...what kind of spirits do you think he will serve?" She grins wickedly and laughs.

Nokomis takes a drink for her gourd and just shakes her head at Caranae

Caranae looks back at Anthor and grins. "Why thank you, I am glad that both you and your shargle appreciated it."
Nokomis you don't know what it's like living with her.

Anthor thanks Caranae.

Nokomis picks up her pack and says "I am off to kill some elephants for the contest. Thanks for having me and I will see you all later at the Oktoberfest if you attend."

Anthor says “My first time through the caves, I found the Shargles to be most helpful. They are the closest animal here to the Ancients.”

Nokomis looks at Caranae "I will see you at the hut"
Nokomis says “I will have to make a trip into the caves. It sounds interesting.”
Nokomis turns and walks off into the jungles

Anthor says “It has been said that the Shargles are a representation of our Gods.”

monaliza smiles warmly.
monaliza watches her attendants taking close notes and making drawing representing the guests and their stories.
You say “and now if you will join me 3 west for the arts and crafts portion of the festival.”
You say “you need wood or pumpkins, just ask. Everybody that wishes to can carve a pumpkin, or make a creative sign in celebration of the immortal Shargle.”
monaliza starts to head west and notices a monkey in the grouping of shargles.
monaliza hands the money a mango, that it instantly takes and puts in his mouth like a beak.
monaliza giggles and makes her way to the Arts & Crafts Pavilion.

As a rouge trader with a camera on the island I felt the need to document all this before swinging my cutlass and running for cover as the sounds of SKREE haunt my mind. Hope no one minds me dropping these images here.












I lost count of the number with all of them moving around and grabing at my flesh but there's at least somewhere between 100 and 120 shargles between those three tiles.

Mr Crowley , thank you for the beautiful and historically significant pictures.

Neil, those are scavenger parrots and I think they are all as excited as we are.
