[19:47]<Bynw> +-------------------------------------------+
[19:47]<Bynw> | Talks between the Spectral Magician and
[19:47]<Bynw> | Nym go on for sometime before it becomes
[19:47]<Bynw> | Midday. The Spectral Magician and Baron
[19:47]<Bynw> | Noyse agree that Chadwick is a threat,
[19:47]<Bynw> | especially if he has access to an ancient
[19:47]<Bynw> | Matrix.
[19:47]<Bynw> |
[19:47]<Bynw> | Baron Noyse insists on Chadwick being a
[19:47]<Bynw> | lackey to the one who is called the "Giver
[19:47]<Bynw> | of Gifts". Somoene who must be a very
[19:47]<Bynw> | powerful adept or sorcerer of somekind. And
[19:47]<Bynw> | that Chadwick is immortal. His immortality
[19:47]<Bynw> | somehow tied to Kirsh.
[19:47]<Bynw> |
[19:47]<Bynw> | Michael, states that if Chadwick and his
[19:47]<Bynw> | Lord are seeking to reactivate a Matrix. It
[19:47]<Bynw> | must be located in the mountains surrounding
[19:47]<Bynw> | Deever.

[20:13]* Regan nods and smiles.
[20:14]<+Master_Nym> "My students will return to the forest of Kirsh and openly leave to join the hunt for Chadwick. Where the Druids are sure to see. They will need the help of your order as well..."
[20:14]<Bynw> *Michael* "I'm not sure exactly what to do either. But if, as you say, he is in Utha. He must be after a Matrix located there. We should assume that he has already found it."
[20:15]<+Llanth> "And that has some disturbing implications."

[20:18]<+Master_Nym> ::Nods:: "Yes, it's likely. But he will need to fix the Matrix. He will be vulnerable until then.

You should be able to hide us from the druids, yes?"
[20:20]* jlcsusara-work (~IceChat7@A6D346.387974.6E50AB.6E55CF) has joined #teara-adan
[20:21]<Bynw> *Ibon* "Chadwick's clan is wherever Chadwick goes. So they would be his protection. Along with the Owlbears he may have as well. Both will willingly die for him. I'm sure Lord Stonemont can have something whipped up to help limit the abilities of the druids."
[20:25]* Regan scratches his head in thought...
[20:25]<Bynw> *Michael* "The problem with the druids is ... anything natural is theirs. That can use the trees, the grass, the very dirt you walk on to find you."
[20:29]<Bynw> *Michon* "Shouldn't we find the Matrix in Utha first? At least then we will know where to concentrate our energies"
[20:30]<+Daine> ::Nods, his eyes still on Stonemont:: "Yes, and that has made them over confident. We have come at them individually and failed. It is time we pooled our strength. I think it is time Camidus start taking a more active hand as well." ::raises an eyebrow at Stonemont and a ghost of a smile appears::
[20:32]<+Master_Nym> ((That was Nym not Daine, sorry))
