Quotations
"I'm going to Tigger this guy." ~ Barqus, session 47, "Delving into the Darkness"
Steel01: I believe the other thing was more important.
91minutecrusade: Has the ... other thing ... saved our butts as often? Did the... other thing kill a banshee? Nah.
QSDragonLord: Those are good points.
-- Session 76

-- Session 92
From the Chat Logs for Session 95
[01:33:10] Steel01: Quick, finish Makot before the kill stealers get here. :P
When tears and blood feed the frozen sea,
And the broken light is remade.
When the young queen speaks, Between the great horn peaks,
Then will the High Court send aid.
The father will hear his child’s voice,
And open the doors that were shut.
The high court will meet, the song to repeat:
A world lost, will be found.
The souls of the dead, to rest will be led,
And the light of a new day be crowned.
Blood and Fire, run in frozen veins
Unfamiliar magic, a pernicious stain
Seed buried deep, and then sprouts a tree
The root runs farther than many can see
Within the walls of memory, Beyond the weight of duty,
Beneath the pain of blood, Before the call of Kieva’s song
At the foot of his misfortune
Find the root, in the barrows of innocence."
