[21:02:12] <.Bynw> ** The little recap of last session
[21:02:13] <.Bynw> *******************************************
[21:02:15] <.Bynw> ** Nym was battling the Uthani troops in an attempt
[21:02:16] <.Bynw> ** to make it to the command tents at the center
[21:02:18] <.Bynw> ** of the encampment.
[21:02:19] <.Bynw> **
[21:02:21] <.Bynw> ** Without any sign, the Uthani troops break off 
[21:02:22] <.Bynw> ** their attack on Nym, making a clear path for him
[21:02:24] <.Bynw> ** to travel, without resistance, to the tents.
[21:02:25] <.Bynw> **
[21:02:27] <.Bynw> ** There the Uthani mage who fire-balled the 
[21:02:28] <.Bynw> ** cannon stands with his arms out and makes
[21:02:30] <.Bynw> ** a sweeping motion with them. A green fire
[21:02:31] <.Bynw> ** springs to life in a hemesphere behind him ...
[21:02:33] <.Bynw> **
[21:02:34] <.Bynw> ** A half circle of pure psychic energy. The warding
[21:02:36] <.Bynw> ** called into being to protect outsiders during
[21:02:37] <.Bynw> ** a Duel Arcane. The high ritual combat between
[21:02:39] <.Bynw> ** Deryni and other psionics since the beginning
[21:02:40] <.Bynw> ** of civilization.
[21:02:42] <.Bynw> **
[21:02:43] <.Bynw> ** Master Shaw crosses himself and utters the
[21:02:45] <.Bynw> ** statement of "Holy mother of God" at the sight.
[21:02:46] <.Bynw> ** 
[21:02:48] <.Bynw> ** Nym's calm face sprouts a wicked grin across
[21:02:49] <.Bynw> ** his features as he silently nods in acceptance
[21:02:51] <.Bynw> ** and steps forward to complete the circle of 
[21:02:52] <.Bynw> ** the ward.
[21:02:54] <.Bynw> **

[21:05:58] <.Bynw> *Mage* "My terms are simple. We will fight until one of us is the victor, but not necessarily dead ...."
[21:06:44] <+_Nym_> "And what happens to the loser?"
[21:07:45] <.Bynw> *Mage* "If I win. You and your men will leave this valley, and will not be attacked.  If I loose, I and my men will like wise leave this valley, unharmed."
[21:08:44] * Rooks is now known as Terto_Tarlo
[21:09:34] <+_Nym_> ::Looks sceptical:: "Define your men. All the men and women in, above, and around the temple? Or just the rabble we've already beaten?"
[21:10:10] <.Bynw> *Mage* "My men are the soldiers and the conscripts from the local villages."
[21:12:14] <+_Nym_> "No deal. Your men are beaten already. You will become my thrall for one year and your men will be allowed to leave. If I lose, I will leave and not come back."
[21:14:24] <+_Nym_> ::Smiles wickedly::"You will not be expected to participate in the battle should you lose of course, but you will follow me when I leave."

[21:21:39] <.Bynw> *the mage holds up his hand and waves it in a dismissal of Nym's terms* "I thought there was still some honor left in the Anadari, but you are just like the rest of them. Arrogant and overconfidant. I do not serve mortals. Enots ot hself. "

[21:39:59] <.Bynw> *Mage* "This is a Duel ARCANE, not a fighting pit. You wish to use your sword then leave now."
[21:41:07] <+_Nym_> ::Sheaths his StarSword, but stays on guard for spells from the mage:: "Shut your mouth. You have no honor, don't pretend to."

You have my assurance you will not be attacked as you do so. -- And I only ask the same for my own him, who are mostly farmers following a long sleeping dream of freedom. And as far as weapons go ... use your talents, this is not a melee. That is outside. Spells are part of my talents and I shall use them against you --

[21:54:38] <.Bynw> *Mage* "I only seek to end this battle without futher loss of these men. They are but farmers, they are not skilled in the arts of wars, like you and I. Unless you fear freedoms and seek to oppress us further with your own sense of morality, like the Van Starra attempted."
[21:55:59] <+_Nym_> ::Sighs:: "You seek to pull victory from defeat. No matter I will accept your terms. Me and my men will leave if you win."
