**I had spoken with Tranto during Foslin's Chancellorship
**and had given him my recommendation, though for the life

**I got Chancellor, Mekantos had me filtering applicants so

Within a dim altar chamber
You are standing within the altar chamber of the Quesyr Tol'adn,
partitioned from the rest of the building by a thin painted screen, in
which a small entryway has been cut. Arching overhead is a low
corbelled ceiling, from which hangs a chandelier, shimmering faintly
like a perfect spectral teardrop. A deep semi-circular apse lies to the
north, adjacent to which stands a monolithic pulpit. The dim light in
the altar room throws brooding shadows across the carpeted floor,
accentuating the lines of light and shade on the iconography depicted
on both the apse and the pulpit.


( 5) (Glowing) A bright ball of light shimmers in the air.
A red bale of woven cloth lies unrolled on the ground.
A disturbance in the air ripples and waves before you.
A hulking, heavy-limbed demon stomps here with clenched fists.
A Nightwalker stands in the shadows, breathing heavily.
(Translucent) Ilivarra is here.
(Invis) (Translucent) Tranto is here.

<873/873hp 694m 337mv | civilized 1 AM> l tranto
Here you see a very pale man about six feet. Shaggy, black hair
covers his head, a few strans hang in front of his face. His
eyebrows have grown together over his nose, giving him one long
eyebrow across his forehead. His brown eyes stare coldly out at
the world. You catch a glimpse of his teeth and see they are
rather yellow and a bit crooked. He has a little bit a facial
hair but hardly a good, full beard. He is not large enough to
fill his armor well, but it looks like it would really help him
take a beating. The aroma of rotten flesh would suggest that he is
no stranger to death. Such a skinny man would not likely be able
to do much with his fists, maybe not even with a weapon. There may
be more to this man than meets the eye.
Tranto, a male human, is in perfect health.

Tranto is using:
<worn on legs> rotting linen bandages
<worn on hands> a pair of black steel gauntlets
<worn on arms> rotting linen bandages
<worn about body> a skin from the snow leopard
<worn around wrist> rotting linen bandages
<worn around wrist> rotting linen bandages

Ilivarra says in a pained croak 'You remind me of a necromancer'

Tranto shrugs indifferently.

Tranto says 'Is that a bad thing?'

Ilivarra says in a pained croak 'it depends on how you use it.'

Ilivarra says in a pained croak 'now, why do you seek us?'

Tranto says 'There are many reasons.'

Tranto says 'First is that I can learn much and become more powerful with the help of the chasm.'

Ilivarra says in a pained croak 'hold that thought tranto'

**Snip: Raid.

Ilivarra says in a pained croak 'You say you can learn much with the help of the chasm?'

Tranto says 'I can learn alone.'

Tranto says 'With the help of the chasm I could learn much more.'

Ilivarra says in a pained croak 'like what? How to read a map?'

Tranto says 'I know how to read a map.'

Ilivarra says in a pained croak 'learning is not all gaining more knowledge of incantations'

Tranto says 'I want to learn of opening portals to other worlds.'

Ilivarra says in a pained croak 'it is how and when to use them that is perhaps just as important'

Tranto says 'I have heard of scrolls on good and evil as well.'

Ilivarra says in a pained croak 'tell me of these scrolls'

Ilivarra looks at Tranto.

Tranto says 'I have just heard that they exists and tell about how the two interact.'

Tranto says 'Do you have some water?'

You smirk.

You drop a metal canteen insulated in a wolf's pelt.

Tranto gets a metal canteen insulated in a wolf's pelt.

Tranto drinks water from a metal canteen insulated in a wolf's pelt.

You point straight down.

Ilivarra pauses, a thoughtful look on her face.

Tranto drops a metal canteen insulated in a wolf's pelt.

You get a metal canteen insulated in a wolf's pelt.

Ilivarra says in a pained croak 'how interesting'

Ilivarra says in a pained croak 'you know of nothing else about this?'

Tranto says 'I did not get my things together since I was slain.'

Ilivarra chuckles politely.

Ilivarra says in a pained croak 'we all have our priorities'

Ilivarra says in a pained croak 'personally, i would rather have gained a proper amount of substance then die slowly infront of your betters.'

Ilivarra waves her hand in a dismissive manner.

Ilivarra says in a pained croak 'What do you know of the portals and our allies?'

Tranto says 'Only that you can open them.'

Ilivarra frowns.

Tranto says 'I have much to learn I know.'

Ilivarra snorts.

Ilivarra says in a pained croak 'obviously'

Tranto says 'I learn quickly though.'

Tranto fades into existence.
Tranto's hunger injures him.

Tranto hangs his head in shame.

You get a large boar steak from a cowhide knapsack.

You drop a large boar steak.

Ilivarra blinks a few times.

Etarekoth: Like feeding a pet

Tranto gets a large boar steak.

Tranto eats a large boar steak.

Ilivarra: You have got to be kidding me

Ilivarra says in a pained croak 'So what DO you know of us?'

Tranto says 'I know that you have much knowledge and power. I know that you will one day take over the land.'

Tranto says 'I know that you will do what ever is neccesary to do so.'

Tranto says 'I know that you can bring suffering to others.'

Ilivarra licks her mouth and smiles.

Ilivarra says in a pained croak 'Oh, you know of suffering?'

Ilivarra licks the mark of three snakes intertwined with lightning bolts. How disgusting!

Tranto looks at Ilivarra.

Tranto says 'I know of suffering.'

Tranto says 'It is everywhere in this world.'

You blink several times.

<51 H-Elf Con> (PK) Ilivarra the Planewalker, Disciple of Zurcon

Players found: 4

Ilivarra frowns.

Ilivarra says in a pained croak 'and...?'

Tranto says 'And what?'

You whisper 'What are you goals in this life Tranto? What do you seek to achieve, while you still bear the burden of mortality?'

Tranto says 'I too seek a tattoo.'

Tranto says 'So that one day I may sit at the side of the Dark Lord of Suffering.'

Tranto says 'And torment lost souls.'

You whisper 'Is that all?'

Tranto says 'While I am alive I will do what I must to show him I am worthy.'

Tranto says 'That is all.'

You blink several times.

You tell your group 'Continue..'

Ilivarra tells the group 'i'm really not amused, he would be best used as a slave'

Tranto says 'That and everything I said earlier.'

Ilivarra says in a pained croak 'You speak of serving the Lord of Suffering, and yet you do not know what it is?'

You tell your group 'Do with him as you will. You are conducting this interview..'

Ilivarra says in a pained croak 'why do you desire to torment souls?'

Tranto says 'My soul is lost.'

Tranto says 'Torment or be tormented.'

Tranto says 'I choose torment.'

Tranto says 'I thought the chasm could teach me what I need to know.'

Ilivarra says in a pained croak 'lost? Did you use it to pay for something perhaps?'

Tranto says 'I have no hope for anything and lead a wicked life.'

Ilivarra smirks.

Tranto says 'When I die my soul will not go somewhere nice.'

Tranto says 'And I can not avoid dieing.'

Tranto says 'I see only one option.'

**I begin stalking.

Ilivarra says in a pained croak 'Very well, I have a place for you then'

Tranto says 'What is it?'

Ilivarra says in a pained croak 'You desire to torment others, yet have no experience in this regard'

Ilivarra licks her mouth and smiles.

Tranto says 'I have brought pain to others.'

Ilivarra chuckles politely.

Ilivarra says in a pained croak 'physical pain is simple'

Tranto smirks.

Tranto nods.

Ilivarra says in a pained croak 'have you ever darkened a heart? Have you ever brought nightmares to your victims when they heard your footsteps?'

Thinking hard, Tranto scratches his cheek.

You tap your foot impatiently.

Tranto says 'No.'

You twitch uncomfortably.

Tranto says 'Not yet.'

Ilivarra says in a pained croak 'the scars of the mind please me greatly, and my lord is fond of souls screaming endlessly'

Tranto says 'Do you wish for me to do something?'

Ilivarra says in a pained croak 'If you desire to be anything in this world Tranto, or for that matter, have a chance in the doom of the afterlife'

Looking more attentive, Tranto listens closely.

Ilivarra says in a pained croak 'you will need a teacher. You will serve me Tranto.'

Ilivarra says in a pained croak 'If you have the stomach for it...'

Tranto grins evilly.

Tranto says 'When do I begin?'

Ilivarra smirks.

Ilivarra says in a pained croak 'give me your left hand.'

Tranto looks at himself.

Tranto smirks.

Tranto kisses Ilivarra's hand. How continental!

Tranto frowns.

You blink several times.

Ilivarra snarls angrily.

Ilivarra says in a pained croak 'your hand Tranto'

Tranto boggles at the concept.

Ilivarra growls.

Tranto extends his arm, and shakes Ilivarra's hand.

Ilivarra reaches out and roughly grabs your hand and turns it over, palm up.

Ilivarra deftly and with a sinister laugh, proceeds to use her nails to roughly break the skin on your palm, drawing blood.

Tranto grins evilly.

Ilivarra says in a pained croak 'Excellent'

Ilivarra continues to saw on your palm till she seems sated at what looks like a little serpent on your palm, covered in your dark blood.

Ilivarra says in a pained croak 'Good, good.'

You whisper 'Are you finished with him, Ilivarra?'

Ilivarra says in a pained croak 'Oh yes, quite.'

Tranto grins evilly.

You whisper 'Tranto, do you believe in faith?'

You whisper 'Or rather, fate?'

Tranto says 'I had not thought about it.'

You whisper 'So think. Quickly.'

Tranto says '' Yes. I do.'

Tranto smirks.

Tranto says 'Water?'

Ilivarra snickers softly.

You whisper 'Then we shall see if are fated to hold a place within the Fold'

You whisper 'Remain still..and whatever happens, do not move'

You whisper 'Are you ready, to meet your fate, whatever it might be?'

Tranto nods.

Throwing back her head, Ilivarra cackles with insane glee!

<873/873hp 714m 721mv | civilized 9 PM> assassinate Tranto
You slide up behind Tranto and drive your sword through his back.
Tranto falls to the floor, blood flooding from his pierced heart.
Tranto is DEAD!!
Tranto splatters blood on your armor.

Ilivarra says in a pained croak 'what a pleasant lesson'

You whisper 'He shall never hold a place among the Chosen'

You whisper 'Such is the price of failure'

**There was some more talking which explained
**things a bit better but I didn't log it :(
