your arm free, you find yourself with a ceremonial wooden sword wreathed in wildflowers!
>look sword
The
sword is ornately carved with swirling lines radiating from the hilt. The lines gather and swirl like waves of heat
coming from a fire, like a curtain obscuring what lies on the other side. Near the tip of the blade, the lines
part
to reveal a starry path. A garland of wildflowers wreaths the grip, which is carved with the crest of the Barbarian
Guild.

yester-year. When Dangelo was young -- and frankly, so was I. Many here will remember that time as well, and we were all a
... few years younger."
>Dreamheart chuckles to herself.
>Meidori smiles.
>Dreamheart says, "Back to the time when
warriors all wore plate, and the Barbarian's Guild did not care if members wore leather. Yet. Agonar had already given notice
of his expectations, though, and the time was coming soon where
Barbarians would be expected to wear leather. "
>Dreamheart
shakes her azure-scaled leathers!
Dreamheart says, "The Gods had not provided for thumping idiots or the arrangement
of formal challenges yet. Even brawling was not taught at the guilds."
Meidori grins.
>Eileethan grins.
>Greyglimmer smiles.
>You grin, revealing your dimples.
>Dreamheart says, "Dangelo
had just gotten in from a dangerous hunt against the most fearsome creature in our experience, crocodiles. The Marsh claimed
many a hero in those days."
>Xixist smiles in rememberance
Dreamheart says, "He had changed out of his metal armor and put
on his leathers, which he was breaking in out in wood trolls. Ach! He came back to town looking pretty beat up after that.
He, and a few other hunters and heroes sat down to pick up some tips from my class in leathers."

>Dreamheart says, "Silly bardess
that I am, I had been wearing leather and using evasion for years already. But I was happy to help them with their backtraining."
>Dreamheart
says, "Suddenly our class and conversation was interrupted by someone who was obviously very young. He sat down with us and
promptly started to grill Dangelo and Mir with lots of questions."
(Dreamheart points out the many advantages of leathers.
Like any good teacher.)
>Dreamheart gazes at her leathers.
>Branwen chuckles.
>Dreamheart says, "Soon, he was heavy into bragging; he obviously had
more head knowledge than real experience. He seemed to be manuevering the conversation further and further into conflict,
even though Mir and Dangelo were paying very little attention to his whining."
>Dreamheart says, "My intuition warned
me this little boy meant trouble."
>Dreamheart gulps.
Dreamheart says, "Today, we would call him
a snert, thump him, and walk away. I have seen people killed for far less, frankly."
Dreamheart puts her leathers in
her maroon backpack.
>Dreamheart shrugs.
You chuckle.
>Dreamheart says, "Patient and unruffled, Dangelo answered the boy's
questions and claims with simple, direct answers when required. I was amazed at his calm responses. So many times I had witnessed
scenes like this erupt into blows when men of less maturity were confronted with the boasting taunts of a would-be bully-boy.
But not Dangelo."
Greyglimmer smiles.
Moirea nods.
>Dreamheart says, "Then suddenly the boy rose to his feet, boasting,
"I bet I could kill you with this!" and he waved some pointed weapon in his hand at where Dangelo was sitting."
>Branwen raises an eyebrow.
Dreamheart says, "Dangelo shrugged."
>Scooter grins at Dreamheart, his dimples flashing into view.
Dreamheart
says, "The next thing I saw was the boy advancing on Dangelo. Now, this was the Town Green. People tease each other all the
time on the Town Green, because mature, law-abiding citizens know it is illegal to attack someone in town. I do not think
anyone in the area was alarmed. Yet."
Dreamheart says, "The dread of my intuition flooded me and my heart sank as this
ill-mannered snert struck at Dangelo. Twice. And then stunned him. But Dangelo did not strike back at the boy, not once. He
knew that he would have killed him if he did."
>Dreamheart says, "Surely he thinks his point is now made and will
stop," I thought to myself as one of the finest hunters of the realms took that stunning blow."
Dreamheart exclaims,
"Mir was already on his feet, and dragged Dangelo away. I commanded the ne'er do well to stop, but he followed Dangelo! This
was too much!"
Dreamheart says, "I knew Dangelo was worse than unprotected, since
he only had on his leather armor, and was not at all acustomed to moving in it. I was upset
to think someone would attack
someone like this right on the Green."
Dreamheart says, "The braggart tracked down Dangelo, and before I could find
them, Dangelo was struck down! Those who witnessed the final blows said that Dangelo never struck at his attacker through
the whole thing."
Dreamheart winces.
>Greyglimmer frowns.
>Ryeka frowns.
>Scooter takes off a kyanite gwethdesuan.
>Dreamheart says, "Dangelo's friends hurried to help recover his things
and take him somewhere to depart safely -- this was long before ressurections and glyphs of warding. "
>Xixist makes
a disgusting grunting noise.
>Freye sighs.
>Dreamheart says, "A shrug is not consent for
dueling. You know this, I know this, and as much as the braggart claimed otherwise, he obviously knew it, as well, or he would
not have had to justify himself as much as he did."
>Freye nods to Dreamheart.
>Dreamheart says, "The sneering jibes of the braggart started about
how he had killed Dangelo, who had not fought back. They were quickly silenced when someone pointed out to the little boy
that Dangelo could have killed him quickly with his least practiced weapon if he had wanted to."
>Dreamheart snickers.
>Branwen smiles.
>Greyglimmer smirks.
You nod to Dreamheart.
>Dreamheart says, "Suddenly several people jumped to the murdering snert's
defense in the telepathy of the gwethdesuan, people who had not even been there. As friends of Dangelo's all over the Realms
asked what had happened, I decided to take it upon myself to state succinctly what had happened."
>Ryeka smiles, revealing dimples in her cheeks.
>Xixist smiles slightly.
>Dreamheart recites:
"Dangelo was murdered
in cold blood on the Town Green," I thought out."
>Dreamheart says, "Every time the murderer or one of his
cronies tried to justify it, brag about it, or turn the story into something different, I thought again to those who would
be listening on the gwethdesuan the gist of the matter. He had been slain without ever defending himself."
>Freye sighs.
>A tear runs down Freye's face.
>Dreamheart says, "Let the murderer's bragging rights reflect the truth
of that."
>Greyglimmer pats Freye on the back.
>Ryeka rubs Freye gently.
>Dreamheart nods.
>Dreamheart says, "Some people stopped to wonder about the reason one
of our greatest heroes had been struck down by a conniving braggart, but I knew why."
>Branwen smiles at Dreamheart.
>Dreamheart says, "It took a great deal more strength to sit and take
the incoming blows than to have defended himself. Strength of conviction, strength of character, and strength of will."
>Freye nods to Dreamheart.
>Freye leans on Ryeka.
>Dreamheart says, "Dangelo proved who the victor was that evening. This
was a powerful testament to the hero's soul in Dangelo. "
>Branwen lets out a deep sigh of contentment.
>Greyglimmer smiles.
>Branwen nods to Dreamheart.
>Ryeka smiles, revealing dimples in her cheeks.
>Dreamheart says, "A hero is someone who does the right thing, not neccesarily
because it is convenient, or the safest for him, but because it must be done."
>Moirea nods.
>Ryeka nods in agreement.
>Dreamheart says, "I would like to add a personal post script to this
recounting. After I recorded this initial story, friends approached me and suggested I record the name of the little snert
who had caused it all, so that
everyone would know what trouble he was."
You nod.
>Greyglimmer asks, "Edgee?"
You glance at Havok, a male Elf.
>Greyglimmer peers quizzically at Dreamheart.
>Dreamheart says, "And I have been known to do that."
>Branwen chuckles at you!
>Dreamheart nods.
>Dreamheart shakes her head at Greyglimmer.
>Dreamheart says, "But in a flash of inspiration that could
only have come from the Immortals themselves, I shook my head and told
them, "
>Dreamheart recites:
"The deed that needs
to be remembered here is what Dangelo did, not the ignoble actions of a little snert. Better for the boy to never be memorialized
in a hero's tale at all. Because I hoped his name would fade from all memory..."
Greyglimmer nods to Dreamheart.
Branwen smiles at Dreamheart.
You nod to Dreamheart.
Dreamheart says, "It sure has faded from
mine."
>Moirea smiles, revealing dimples in her cheeks.
>Dreamheart winks.
>Ryeka grins at Dreamheart, her dimples flashing into view.
>Dreamheart says, "There is nobody left living who could tell you his
name now. But Dangelo's name will live on as one of the True Heroes of the Realms."
>Kileigh laughs softly, trying to hide her amusement.
>Greyglimmer smiles at Dreamheart.
>Eileethan nods.
>Freye hugs Eileethan, getting a smile in
return.
>Freye nods to Dreamheart.
>Branwen praises Dreamheart.
>Dreamheart says, "To Dangelo Reevers. Hero. Warrior. Barbarian. Friend."
Greyglimmer sniffles.
>Greyglimmer rubs his nose.

Guild, a lone drum beats a solemn dirge. A feeling of peace fills the air.
You beam at Dreamheart!

>Freye says, "Elriic could not be here? "
>Digmo says, "But
I'll say what I knew of Dantog."
>Freye says, "I have a song for after the words are spoken."
>Greyglimmer
works carefully at tending Snowfair's wounded neck.
>Digmo nods to Belegoth.
>Digmo says, "I know Elriic would be here if he could"
You say, "He is going to be kickin himself for missing this, and I will
kick him too"
Kileigh says, "you tell em, Martee"

>Taygar glares at you.

Digmo says, "Dantog"
Digmo says,
"I think he was one of the first people I met in the realms who really put me in awe."
You nod to Digmo.
Branwen smiles at Digmo.
Branwen nods to Digmo.

Kileigh's ears droop for a moment.
