* Clarc wakes up and steps out of bed and dons his clothing
Clarc:     I have a feeling today will be a good day.

*/Heirthyr wakes early in the morning and exits his room, to find a note
attached to his door with a bloody dagger. The note simply says 'haha'/*
Clarc:     Uhm
Clarc:     Heirthyr!
Clarc:     Waht is that?
* Heirthyr Fullthorn takes off the dagger and glances at the note
Heirthyr Fullthorn:     ...what is this?
* Heirthyr Fullthorn shakes his head
Heirthyr Fullthorn:     ...weird
*/When turned over, the note appears to have a map to some kind of
hideout drawn crudely on the back./*
* Heirthyr Fullthorn furrows his brows
Heirthyr Fullthorn:     This thing makes no sense to me...maybe someone downstairs knows.
Clarc:     Hey does that resemble the rogue palce?
*/No./*
* Heirthyr Fullthorn shakes his head and goes downstairs
*/Wild grunting and neighs can be heard from outside the guild/*
* Heirthyr Fullthorn glances at Clarc
Heirthyr Fullthorn:     What's with your horses?
* Clarc hopes not another begger is getting busy with one his horses...
Clarc:     I don't know
Clarc:     While you were gone...weird htings happened
Clarc:     So where is garreth?
* Juir is outside chanting softly while looking into a book and concentrating on the horse.
Heirthyr Fullthorn:     I'm...not sure. Is he with your horses?
Clarc:     LEts go see

The two of them go outside and check the stables, finding Juir.

Clarc:     Hey there Juir
Clarc:     Uhm... what are you doing?
* Juir chants some more.
* Clarc watches scared
Clarc:     Can you hear me Juir?
* Clarc taps juir on the shoulder
* Juir chants some more, snaps the book shut, smacks the horse lightly over the head and walks out.
Clarc:     What did you do?
* Clarc backs away slowly
Juir:     Trying to grant the poor dumb creature the gifts of shadow.
Clarc:     A shadowamre?
* Juir shoves book in his cloak.
Clarc:     So you didnt happen to put that note on his door did you Juir?
Clarc:     I know you have an odd sense of humor
Juir:     How was it pinned to the door?
Heirthyr Fullthorn:     With this dagger...
Clarc:     With a dagger wasn't it Heirthyr

    Heirthyr Fullthorn:     Pinned on MY door

    Juir:     May I see the dagger?

    Heirthyr Fullthorn:     Sure.

* Heirthyr Fullthorn hands Juir said dagger
* Juir examines the dagger...
    Juir:     hmmmm
    Juir:     HMMMMM
    Juir:     This will need further study...
* Clarc tries to detect if there is an evil aura about Heirtyr
* Clarc wonders if there is evil about this horse due to Juirs "shadow"
attempts.
Juir:     Hey guys, check out what the guild had.
Clarc:     What did it have?
* Juir unrolls lead sheet in front of himself.
Clarc:     What do you ahve that for?
Juir:     I dunno, I hear it has it's uses.
Clarc:     Oh your not planning anything for it yet?
* Heirthyr Fullthorn gives Juir a strange look
Heirthyr Fullthorn:     What is it used for?
* Clarc lets out a yell,thinking while they are near his house, they
shoudl see if Garretth is within.
Clarc:     ARE YOU INT HERE GARRETH!
* Deveyus rolls: 1d20+3 => 1 + 3 = 4
*/No response can be seen or heard from within the house/*
Clarc:     Hmmmm
Clarc:     I wonder if he is asleep
* Clarc knocks on the door quite loudly
*/No response/*
Clarc:     Where is that buffoon...
*/Even more no response/*
Juir:     Lamest attempt to break down a door ever
* Heirthyr Fullthorn can't help but give a chuckle
Clarc:     I wasnt trying to break it down
Clarc:     Want to see me try?
Juir:     Want to see garreth dock your pay?
Heirthyr Fullthorn:     And have the General mad at you? Be my guest...
Clarc:     Good point
Clarc:     Thanks for the helpful advice
Juir:     You're welcome.
Clarc:     What happened to yue?
Clarc:     Anyone want to race?
Juir:     He got word of a old archive recently uncovered by a cabal, went to go study.
Juir:     A race... Sounds like fun.

    Heirthyr Fullthorn:     ...and what about this dagger and note?

Clarc:     On foot....

    Juir:     What dagger?

Clarc:     The dagger you took?

    Juir:     Huh?

    Heirthyr Fullthorn:     The one I gave you earlier.

    Juir:     Lost me.

Clarc:     Are you lying?

* Deveyus rolls: 1d20+3 => 9 + 3 = 12
* Clarc rolls: 1d20 +6 => 14 + 6 = 20
Clarc:     Your not telling the truth are you...

    Juir:     Rather blunt aren't you?
Clarc:     We dont ahve time for such trvialities. That note could bode ill for Heirthyr

    Juir:     How about boding ill for the fool who won't answer his door?

* Heirthyr Fullthorn scratches the back of his head
Clarc:     Who didnt answer their door?

    Heirthyr Fullthorn:     Garreth.

* Clarc looks to heirthyr questioninly
* Heirthyr Fullthorn shakes his head
Clarc:     Oh

Clarc:     hmmm

* Heirthyr Fullthorn tries to resist urge to smack Clarc
Clarc:     He might have had a stroke or something...
* Juir suddenly points over towards the horses.

Juir:     It says... Haehae
Heirthyr Fullthorn:     Look on the back..
Clarc:     Like a whore?
* Juir flips it over

    Juir:     It's dark.. I'm dark... they're into money... I'm into money...

Clarc:     Lets go get Garreth back

Clarc:     What do you mean your dark?

* Heirthyr Fullthorn raises an eyebrow

the lead sheet.
* Juir Jumps up on the table, triggering CoN
* Clarc attempts to push Juir off the table
/yue strike has connected./
