A grand offering to the Shades

[lashtal]

On day 364 year 17, a delegation ventured inside Necrovion for an unprecedented offering to the Shades.

Three individuals (Ledah, Nep and The Puppeteer) were taken to the Eternal Toiler, where they sacrificed altogether 50 creatures.

111 fenths were created and left for time to erode.

This outstanding sacrifice was awarded with a spell-doc page for each participant.

[31/12/22 12:17] lashtal:Here we are.
[31/12/22 12:17] lashtal:You know by now that human presence in Necrovion is some sort of exception...
[31/12/22 12:18] Ledah:Such a lovely vista.
[31/12/22 12:18] lashtal:Normally, a blood fee is required to gain entrance... A blood fee or something equally... personal.
[31/12/22 12:18] The Puppeteer: *wanders around* very interesting
[31/12/22 12:19] lashtal:Today the offering is something different.
[31/12/22 12:19] lashtal:Something valuable.
[31/12/22 12:19] lashtal:Something treasured by most.
[31/12/22 12:19] :lashtal turns to Ledah
[31/12/22 12:19] lashtal:What have we got here?
[31/12/22 12:20] Ledah:Well, we have 7 fine Angiens for our dear Shades to feast on.
[31/12/22 12:20] lashtal:7 Angiens... Such a fitting sacrifice...
[31/12/22 12:20] Nep:That's quite a lot
[31/12/22 12:21] Ledah:Only the best
[31/12/22 12:22] lashtal:I'd ask Ledah to spend a few words for each of them... So that all can witness the value of this offering.
[31/12/22 12:23] Ledah:Each of them have their own stories, decades of experience and even more years in potential... but I can share a fragment whilst they are... processed.
[31/12/22 12:23] Ledah:Whenever we are ready to begin.
[31/12/22 12:26] Ledah:Right, well, no time like the present.
[31/12/22 12:26] :lashtal whispers something incomprehensible to the toiler.
[31/12/22 12:26] lashtal:Whenever you want.

[31/12/22 12:37] Ledah:Well, that is a lot of heat off my shoulders.
[31/12/22 12:37] lashtal:All of them were even older than myself... I must say I'm truly impressed.
[31/12/22 12:37] :The Puppeteer watches at the display of forces amased
[31/12/22 12:38] lashtal:They were like... 12 year-old creatures?
[31/12/22 12:38] Ledah:13... From back when the Shrine was opened.
[31/12/22 12:38] Ledah:Good times.
[31/12/22 12:39] Ledah:I do have quite a few lesser sacrifices, if it pleases.
[31/12/22 12:40] lashtal: *considers all the fenths...* The more, the merrier...
[31/12/22 12:40] Ledah:Excellent! These are young, less than a year... but a Drachorn first...
[31/12/22 12:41] :Ledah sacrificed Rustgold Madhorn
[31/12/22 12:41] lashtal:Nice, a Rustgold Drachorn is like the cherry on top...

[31/12/22 12:51] The Puppeteer:The level of devotion is intoxicating
[31/12/22 12:52] Ledah:Only the best sacrifices for the Shades.
[31/12/22 12:53] lashtal:Regarding fenths...
[31/12/22 12:53] lashtal:Of course you all can harvest them, if so you wish. Otherwise time will consume them. One last tribute to the principle of Entropy.
[31/12/22 12:54] Ledah:I've got a couple of tools to hand if anyone does want to.
[31/12/22 12:54] Nep:I already have one
[31/12/22 12:55] Nep:But actually, let me throw in some critters of my own first

[31/12/22 12:58] The Puppeteer:I would also like to make a sacrifice for the Shades. I do not have much, all is black and white...
[31/12/22 12:59] lashtal:The world itself is black and white. Everything is valuable.
[31/12/22 12:59] The Puppeteer:But I have the creature granted by the Christmas tree that is, for me, a very important one from Loreroot, I should not have been able to get it because of the guards
[31/12/22 13:00] The Puppeteer:I also want to mention that this is my very first ever sacrifice that is made, interestingly, to the Shades
[31/12/22 13:00] :The Puppeteer sacrificed Animated Tree III
[31/12/22 13:01] Ledah:Very nice... a real sacrifice, as it were.

[31/12/22 13:01] lashtal:Very fitting for 3 individuals...
[31/12/22 13:02] lashtal:And as a token of gratitude for all this, allow me to give you a taste of...
[31/12/22 13:02] lashtal:Well, technically not proper liquid dust...
[31/12/22 13:02] lashtal:But something closely related to...
[31/12/22 13:03] lashtal:Come close Ledah, open your mouth wide.
[31/12/22 13:03] :Ledah sweats
[31/12/22 13:03] Ledah:O-ok...
[31/12/22 13:03] :Ledah opens his mouth
[31/12/22 13:03] :[Spell] Take a sip Ledah
[31/12/22 13:04] lashtal:Try not to throw up... force it down.
[31/12/22 13:04] :Ledah chokes it down
[31/12/22 13:04] Ledah:Now that... is most welcome. Thank you.
[31/12/22 13:04] lashtal:My pleasure.
[31/12/22 13:04] lashtal:Come close Nep, open your mouth wide.
[31/12/22 13:04] :Nep steps forward

[31/12/22 13:06] :[Spell] Take a sip The Puppeteer
[31/12/22 13:06] :The Puppeteer swallows the liquid
[31/12/22 13:08] lashtal:So be it. May the Shades accept this offer and all of you walk safely.
[31/12/22 13:08] lashtal:You can roam freely as you see fit.
[31/12/22 13:09] Nep:Time limit?
[31/12/22 13:09] Ledah:Thank you all for your time today... and for not killing me lash.
[31/12/22 13:09] lashtal:At midnight we'll head back outside Necrovion.
[31/12/22 13:09] Nep:Very well
[31/12/22 13:09] lashtal:Wherever you are, you'll be summoned outside.
[31/12/22 13:10] lashtal:Even if you are stuck in some swamp...
[31/12/22 13:10] :The Puppeteer bows and wanders off in the dust
[31/12/22 13:10] Ledah:Useful... I'll be heading off now, but look forward to seeing you all later.
[31/12/22 13:10] lashtal:Safe travels, thank you all once again.
[31/12/22 13:10] :Ledah coughs up some liquid as he leaves
