This log was taken directly during the game. As much as possible, ooc messages have been edited out, such as auctions, ooc shouts, group talk, guildtalk, tells, sounds of people drinking 18 short beers in a row, etc. "You" refers to the character I was playing that night, i.e. Alruna.

I also took the liberty of correcting a few typos I made telling the tale. :-)

Alruna tells a tale of a fictional Troll named Gargrim (based on one of my other character's past lives) who meets a tragic, yet noble, end.
 
 

 Branin says, 'Who wants to tell next? Jump up on the table and start talking!'
 Sulla says, 'The room is swuying !'
 Rhyannia says, 'Hello Brother pupetteer.'
 You say, 'Friends, I wish to recite a poem.'
 Sulla says, 'You all soor t ny'
 Barrett pays rapt attention to Alruna.
 Branin cheers at Alruna.
 Sulla says, 'The `ylors!'
 Rhyannia cheers at Alruna.
 Lalana quiets down
 Galilee cheers at Alruna.
 Alruna smiles at the crowd.
 Sulla says, 'I am il  sxkce o dessx!'
 Grast pokes barrett to see if he is stll alive... doesn't seem to be breathing anymore.
 Rhyannia stays across the room from Grast
 You say, 'It is called "THE GOLDEN HEARTED TROLL"'
 Sulla says, 'Whvre gixnm!'
 Alruna clears her throat.
 Sulla says, 'Sai eou die doivo tfis?'
 You say, 'There was once a Troll by the name of Gargrim.... He came from the Swamps were the Frogloks swim....'
 Sulla says, 'Whh the womld spiknin`?'
 You say, 'He liked not his life, his fellows, his Home.... All he wanted to do in his life was Roam....'
 Branin cheers at Alruna.
 Galilee hushes Sulla
 Sulla says, 'Sokry'
 You say, 'He had a sister, the fair Nukalu.... Who brought him more joy than a fine Dwarven brew....'
 You say, 'He killed many frogs, he slew many orcs.... But then came the time to move to Freeport....'
 You say, 'He heard of an army for the Great Dark Master... He sought to join them, for gold they offered....'
 Grast staggers around in search of rhyannia, trying to be quiet for fair Alruna
 You say, 'There he met Teir'Dal and fought by their side... But he met Human Folks too and they touched his heart...'
 You say, 'Wounded in battle, Gargrim knew fear.... A priest of Erollisi and his cures were near...'
 Rhyannia had made enough of a fool of herself, she stands quietly above, listening intently.
 You say, 'Then Gargrim knew Love in his ears and his Soul.... The touch of Erollisi had attained its goal....'
 Barrett listens intently.
 You say, 'Soon came a Great Battle: Evil fought Good... Mithaniel and his Knights struck where Innorruk stood...'
 Sulla tells you, 'E like yorr store!'
 You say, 'On the side of Evil, Gargrim fought hard.... Once the battle was won, he felt quite sad....'
 You say, 'Why the killing? He asked, now he knew Love... He saw a shape move, her eyes like a dove's'
 Grast tries to steady himself in the railing
 Rhyannia hands set upon the rail, a smile on her face knowing of Love.
 You say, 'I must save this fallen maiden', Gargrim decided.... She lay among the corpses but was yet not quite dead....'
 You say, 'He kicked to his right and bashed to his left.... Teir'Dal and Undead all 'round were cleft.....'
 You say, 'Traitor!!' were their cries as he grabbed the young girl.... Hard he ran through the night, as shadows swirled....'
 Sodah sheds a tear
 You say, 'He ran for the Temple but the distance was great... They would not let him go, as they knew only Hate....'
 Rhyannia frowns slightly
 You say, 'Arrows pierced his back and his legs and his arms... As he fell down they both lay on grass....'
 Alruna stops briefly.
 Alruna sheds a silent tear.
 Barrett waits and watches.
 Grast gasps
 Shalara wipes a tear from her eyes
 Galilee feels very cold right now.
 Alruna continues with a sad voice.
 You say, 'His head was turning, and one thought was his last....'
 You say, 'Unto love I go now, no matter my past...''
 Alruna has more tears coming down her cheeks.
 Ivian listens intently, forgetting to write the tale in her book.
 Rhyannia understands why Grast is hesitant now, and decides right then and there to shut herself down.
 Alruna says in a meek voice. "The End."
 Barrett draws a kerchief and offers it to Alruna
 Shalara sighs sadly
 Sodah claps
 Rhyannia claps softly, face saddened.
 Galilee sheds a tear for Gargrim.
 Sulla clap
 Branin applauds loudly!
 Alruna takes Barrett's kerchief.
 Ivian swallows a thick lump in her throat
 Branin cheers at Alruna.
 Barrett applauds.
 Sulla cheers at Alruna.
 Alruna wipes at the tears rolling down her cheeks.
 Ivian clapps
 Sodah hugs Alruna.
 Grast applaudes loudly, with all his heart behind it.
 Alruna smiles at the crowd. "Thank you."
 Lalana smiles
 Aiela claps
 Barrett says, 'Lovely tale. A bard should sing it in your honor.'
 You beam a smile at Barrett.
 You hug Barrett.
 Barrett smiles.
 Barrett hugs Alruna.
 Rhyannia sighs lightly
 You say, 'I hope I did not ruin the joyful atmosphere.'
 Branin says, 'That was very well done.'
 Barrett whispers to Alruna.
 Galilee says, 'Vely very well done.'
 Ivian says, 'Very nice, I thought'
 Grast wraps his arms around rhyannia's waist, holding her tight.
 Barrett tells you, 'After that I could use some air, care for a stroll.'
 Branin says, 'It is a part of life. Who wishes to share their live's story next?'
 Alruna smiles proudly.
