You stop resting, and stand up.

The Lair of a Darath
Not even the walls of this expansive room are left unmarred; the once 
smooth,
stone walls are now riddled with deep furrows gouged out by claws.  Blood 
and
skin trophies wash the walls with pain and radiate a putrid stench.  There 
are
bones and skulls stacked within the cold fireplace, overflowing the space 
and
scattering upon the hearth.  An arched doorway lies to the north, opening 
out
into the shadows.
[ Exits: n ]
A tall fireplace is here, set into the wall.
A huge beast with blood-red eyes is here, baring dagger-like teeth.

End of West Corridor
A great window framed in red, threadbare curtains is set in the west wall,
dominating most of the wall.  The window, like all other windows in the 
manor
is sealed by planks of timber.  The walls framing the window are ink-black 
and
polished to a high, yet strangely, light-absorbing lustre.  The ceiling is
vaulted with many cold, fang-like lamps hanging from it.  An arched,
beam-supported doorway stands to the south, and is the only door not nailed
shut.  East, the wide corridor runs into deep, cold darkness.
[ Exits: e s ]

You sit down and rest your tired bones.

A white haired old man wanders slowly into view from the west.

A white haired old man taps the staff on the floor once then again, and 
peers at you questioningly.


>l man
You ponder over matters as they appear to you at this moment.

A short man in a dark cloak, only 
his face is exposed.  And what you are able to
see has a jagged scar running down his face to be hidden by a long white 
beard.
The scar has turned his right eye to a milky cloud, his eyes hold the same 
mirth
as the rest of his bearing.  Almost as if he has seen something funny others 
have
not yet they also hold something that can only be called knowledge, the
penetrating gaze of wisdom.

A white haired old man is in excellent condition.

A white haired old man is using:
left hand      a wooden staff
on head        a wide brimmed hat
about body     a long black robe
on feet        a pair of leather sandals

You say, 'You know of the Darath?'

You peer closely at him, trying to figure him out.

A white haired old man says, 'Darath? who be this Darath?'

You drop a darath's pelt.

A white haired old man smirks.

You say, 'It be no further problem'

A white haired old man says, 'somethin gone and got nekked.'

You get a darath's pelt.

You snicker softly.

A white haired old man says, 'So tell me boy, who do you be?'

You say, 'I do be Gunthar'

You stop resting, and stand up.

Gunthar snaps his sword vertical in a salute.

You say, 'Warder Student of the White Tower.. and who do you be?'

A white haired old man says, 'Me? heh, perhaps one day you will find that 
out eh?'

You smile tightly at them.

A white haired old man says, 'but today, set it to say, I am the bringer of 
news.'

A white haired old man says, 'Watch your dreams boy, My eyes tell me the 
creator's marked you for something.'

You say, 'News.. good news, bad news, there always do be a need for it'

You ponder over matters as they appear to you at this moment.

You say, 'My dreams have in time been better'

A white haired old man throws back his head and cackles demonically!

You say, 'If my dreams do mark some purpose of the Creator, then there be 
foul times ahead'

You say, 'What do you be knowing of dreams?'

A white haired old man says, 'heh, why nothing at all.'

A white haired old man winks suggestively at you.

You grin at him.

You ponder over matters as they appear to you at this moment.

You say, 'Be there any service I can do for you?'

Suddenly, a noise causes you to scan the room for some intruder, then before 
you realize it, the old man is gone.

You ponder over matters as they appear to you at this moment.

You sit down and rest your tired bones.

A scruffy boy arrives from the west.

A scruffy boy leaves east.

A scruffy boy arrives from the east.

A scruffy boy says, 'ahh finally.'

You grin at him.

A scruffy boy gasps for breath.

>l boy
The scruffy young boy with his bare feet and legs caked in mud looks like he
has been spending too much time wrestling behind a barn.  So much so in 
fact,
that his frail form looks like it is held up entirely by the dirt.

A scruffy boy is in excellent condition.

A scruffy boy says, 'Sir, sir, Sheriam Sent me.'

You say, 'Calm down, boy, you be safe with me'

You say, 'Sheriam?'

A scruffy boy peers into the corner.

A scruffy boy says, 'Sorry sir, Sheriam Sedai'

A scruffy boy says, 'a novice... trouble... wants to know how quick you can 
get to the tower..'

You nod.

You ponder over matters as they appear to you at this moment.

You say, 'I will leave at once'

You say, 'You have come a long way, boy'

You say, 'And this do be a dangerous place...'

day.'

You grin at him.

You stop resting, and stand up.

You ruffle a scruffy boy's hair playfully.

A scruffy boy holds up a stick as if it was the great sword of a warder.

You say, 'Do you be knowing what kind of trouble this be?'

A scruffy boy shakes his head.

A scruffy boy says, 'Sheriam Sedai just said hurry, novice in trouble.'

You nod.

You sigh.

You ponder over matters as they appear to you at this moment.

You say, 'Where do she want to meet me?'

A scruffy boy says, 'she would request your presence in the tower, for

West Corridor
Running east and west, this long, dark corridor leads into darkness.  
Shadows
hang thick in the air, shrouding everything under their dark cloak.  Coming
from the east, a ghostly wind current roams the corridors of the manor.  
There
are arched doorways leading north and south, but the passages are sealed off 
by
planks of tightly nailed timber.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

At the Entrance of a Dark Manor
The tattered remains of banners and tapestries drift with ghostly motion as
cold breezes are funneled through the dark-stone walls of the passageway.  
The
stone walls of the passageway are raven-black and smooth, yet seem to absorb
light rather than reflect.  As you move, your feet clock against the hard,
marble floor; the echoes resonating down into the recesses of the manor.  A
doorway barbed with a thick, black-iron door lies to the north, while the
passageway leads east into deeper darkness.

Before a Shrouded Manor
Shadow is cast in every direction, but the light source is unseen.  The air 
is
mistily cold, and blankets the ground with a veil of fog.  Looking around, 
you
see great trees, each tree three paces thick and entwined with thorn-armed
vines.  Ivy and thorn-bushes create thick barricades around you, sealing off
any passage west and east.  A manor stands to the south, but details are 
vague
as most of the manor is shrouded in deep immersing darkness and riddled with
snaking vines.

The Rustling Woods
The ground is higher here than that to the north and west.  Though not a 
large
difference, it is enough to raise the treetops higher into the passing wind.
The breeze constantly blows through them, producing the sounds of a gentle
rain.  Small animals scurry underneath the fallen leaves, and the occasional
bird hops about as well, looking for its next small meal.

The Tar Valon Road at the Base of a Grassy Hill
At the base of a small grassy hill, the northern horizon is totally blotted
out.  The hill is covered with knee-high grasses, which ripple in graceful
waves with the passing breezes.  The handful of trees decorating it are
weathered, stunted sentinels, their twisted branches seeming to mar the
landscape's beauty rather than enhance it.  Thicker and more vibrant trees
stand to the south, east and west, surrounding the road before you in a haze 
of
green like an enveloping fog.  The dense mass is the Braem Woods, and it 
covers
much of northern Andor.

A Short Grey-Tiled Hallway
This short section of hallway connects to a much wider corridor to the west 
and
to the east it joins another hallway that runs parallel to the wider 
westward
corridor.  Grey tiles cover the floor of this hall but a colourful tapestry
hangs on the wall opposite a large, carved door that faces the hallway from 
the
south.  The hallway is rather draughty here.  From the east comes the dimly
heard clattering of pots, pans and china.

The Mistress of Novice's Study
The room is warmly decorated with a thick rug patterned in muted greens,
yellows and blues on the floor and a wide desk set facing away from the
fireplace in the western wall.  There are two chairs set before the desk and 
a
cushioned armchair behind it.  The walls are decorated with tapestries and
paintings.  On the desktop there is a large, bound book holding many pages.
In the corner by the fireplace, a rather wicked looking willow switch leans
against the wall.

Gunthar glances about the room

Ryhan the warder glances up at you, "Ahh, you have come and remarkably quick 
as well.

Green tilted eyes have a sharp look to them as she strides along.  Her nose 
is
rather bold and her flaming red hair makes something of a halo about her 
face.
The combined effect of hair and eyes is striking and a little bit odd..  She
has the ageless features characteristic of a woman who can wield the One 
Power.

The clatter of cutlery reaches this broad hall from the rooms to the south,
along with delicious smells of cooking and baking and, through the open
doorway, many young girls can be seen scurrying to and fro busily.  The
corridor continues on past the kitchens to the west and to the east it 
passes
between two ramps before turning southward.  On the floor, concentric 
circles
of tiles extend outwards from a white center like ripples in a pond, each

At the Entrance to the Kitchens
The kitchen is massive and needs to be if it is to produce enough food to 
feed
all of those in the White Tower.  Grey stone tiles cover the floor and 
pantries
and sculleries ajoin the kitchen.  Off to the east is a large fireplace made 
of
grey stone and in another corner of the kitchen, soup kettles simmer above
kettle-fires.  A long table is just to the south, where much of the meals 
are
prepared.  Northward from here a wide hallway passes by.

This area of the scullery is filled with dishes, cups, pots and pans, all of

Several dinner trays also rest on the table with the remains of meals still

Amid the Dirty Dishes
This area of the scullery is filled with dishes, cups, pots and pans, all of
them dirty.  Several large tubs rest on a wide table, each holding stacks of
dishes in one, cups in another, pots and pans in a jumble within a third.
Several dinner trays also rest on the table with the remains of meals still 
on
the dishes.  A large bin sits next to the table on the floor into which
leftovers are scraped and discarded.  Off in the northern section of the
scullery is the washing-up area.

Ryhan the warder, being led by you.
A plain girl looks thoughtfully at the book in her hands.
A stout bandit is here, ready for a brawl.

In the Scullery
Large tubs of soapy and clear water rest on stands at waist height.  Beside
them stand pitchers filled with more water to replace the old when it 
becomes
too full of grease and muck to properly clean the dishes.  Wooden dishracks 
are
built in layers against the wall and will hold upwards of a hundred freshly
cleaned dishes and cups at a time.  To the south, dirty dishes are stacked 
in
tubs and on trays waiting their turn to be cleaned.

Ryhan the warder enters from the south.

You yell 'but in this girls life, I think there maybe something can be done'

Ryhan the warder tells you, 'look at his hand Student, see it shake?'

Ryhan the warder tells you, 'hmm.. any ideas?'

You ponder over matters as they appear to you at this moment.

Ryhan the warder peers through the doorway at the thief.

Ryhan the warder sinks deeply into his own thoughts.

You whisper to Ryhan the warder, 'If I could bash him, send him flying, do 
you think you could pull the girl to safety?'

Ryhan the warder whispers dangerously low, 'Most certainly.'

You nod.

A stout bandit paces slowly in from the south.

Ryhan the warder gives you an Andoran silver piece.

You nod at him.

You say, 'It do be good to have you here'

>exa corpse
You see nothing special..
When you look inside, you see:
corpse (here):
a pair of soft black boots
a pair of baggy black trousers
a high-collared black wool coat
a black bandana
an ivory handled cutlass
a bullseye lantern

Ryhan the warder chuckles.

A plain girl turns a book over in her hands from the west.

>l girl
Her nose is rather too large for her face, making her eyes seem to be set 
too
close together.  She has a strong jaw and a comely figure.  Her dark blond 
hair
is thick and lustrous and is held away from her face with a wide band of 
white
material.

A plain girl is in excellent condition.

A plain girl is using:
on body        a novice's white dress

A plain girl stares at the corpse.

A plain girl says, 'th...'

You say, 'Do you be alright, girl?'

A plain girl says, 'thaaank you sirs.'

A plain girl is in excellent condition.

You nod at her.

You say, 'See to it that you see the Mistress of Novices, she may want to 
have a look at that'

A plain girl says, 'yes sir.'

A plain girl wanders slowly off west.

You say, 'we should return to Sheriam Sedai'

Laras says, 'No men in my kitchen! And what are you doing in this section of 
the Tower anyway?'

Laras says, 'I see I may have to call one of the Tower guards to escort you 
out of doors. Out of the Tower on the instant!'

Laras grabs you by the arm and escorts you out of the kitchen.

Ryhan the warder enters from the south.

You mutter in disgust.

You say, 'That cook do be more troublesome than a queen'

In Flickering Lamplight
No windows line this long, tiled hallway and the only light here comes from 
the
flickering standlamps against the walls.  Standlamps are further along the
walls to the west and east but none are positioned to cast light directly 
along
this section of the corridor, and thus light and shadows play tag along the
tiled floors and the pale walls.  The floor is tiled in a pretty design,
circular rings of colour extending out from a grey center.  From the east, 
the
smell of baking bread and roasting meat drifts along on a slight draught,
titillating the appetite.

Ryhan the warder enters from the east.

The Mistress of Novice's Study
The room is warmly decorated with a thick rug patterned in muted greens,
yellows and blues on the floor and a wide desk set facing away from the
fireplace in the western wall.  There are two chairs set before the desk and 
a
cushioned armchair behind it.  The walls are decorated with tapestries and
paintings.  On the desktop there is a large, bound book holding many pages.
In the corner by the fireplace, a rather wicked looking willow switch leans
against the wall.

You bow before her.

Ryhan the warder whispers dangerously low, 'the thief is done for Sheriam 
Sedai'

A woman with tilted eyes and red hair says, 'was their anyone harmed?'

You say, 'The thief alas lays dead'

You say, 'Though it may be a more comfortable fate than otherwise'

A woman with tilted eyes and red hair says, 'A pity, his knowledge would 
have been usefull, but the novice's life is the most important thing.'

A woman with tilted eyes and red hair nods at you.

The Mistress of Novices sinks deeply into her own thoughts.

The Mistress of Novices says, 'It is not I that must decide that.'

The Mistress of Novices nods at Ryhan the warder.

Gunthar stands squarely.

Ryhan the warder whispers dangerously low, 'How many clan points do you have 
now boy?'

You say, 'none, sir'

Ryhan the warder whispers dangerously low, 'then perhaps, if you give me a 
moment to check the paperwork, we'll fix that.'

You nod.

You quickly scan the area and see:
                 Ryhan the warder: right here
                     a plain girl: right here
A woman with tilted eyes and red hair: right here

>l sheriam

You say, 'With an Aes Sedai?'

Green tilted eyes have a sharp look to them as she strides along.  Her nose 
is
rather bold and her flaming red hair makes something of a halo about her 
face.
The combined effect of hair and eyes is striking and a little bit odd..  She
has the ageless features characteristic of a woman who can wield the One 
Power.

A woman with tilted eyes and red hair is in excellent condition.

A woman with tilted eyes and red hair is using:

Ryhan the warder whispers dangerously low, 'Now, you must simply show you've 
earned those points and soon we shall see about ranking you.'

Sheriam Sedai?'
