The Great Library of Palanthas

An Aesthetic shows you to a small reading room.

Stories of Ansalon from the view of Rorin.

A little gully dwarf runs by and says 'Wordwrap is at 65. You change? Off 65 80.'
The gully continues 'Eyes hurt? Turn Color OFF!! (regular story dates)

Astinus says 'Enter the main library here to view only the author list.'
Astinus gently places a miniscule pocket book on the table in front of you.
You note the spine bears the word 'Rorin' scribed in dull blue ink.

Sansagroth, or the creature that was sansagroth had fled the
Mariner docks
leaving a mess of bloody, sliced up bodies behind him.  Before
the Mariners
had time to recover or begin to lament the dead, A small force of
Solamnics
stormed up.  They looked down thier noses at the Mariners, and
demanded to
be lead to the Cap'n Sansagroth.  Ignoring the tear stricken
faces, the
stormed around the docks until finally Twigpuckle pointed south
faintly,
showing the path Sansagroth had taken Rorin, Twigpuckle and Kybo,
still
respecting the man Sansagroth once was, and unable to look at the
carnage
any longer, snuck off after the Solamnics. They stalked them in
the way
that only those whose very lively hood is made by moving around
unnoticed. 
Rorin was able to cast a spell of invisiblity over them, which
allowed them
to be near enought to hear a few words from the Sols 
"...Beast killed Lord Malin"

"We've orders to.......but a few extra wouldn't hurt..."

following a trail of blood left in the streets, They began to
loosen thier
swords in readiness.  The members of the Stier gasped, they
realized that
these troops never intended to allow Sansagroth a fair trial.

The three friends ran ahead of the Solamnic Troop, they knew
where to find
Sansagroth.  He would have fled to the Rusty Rudder Tavern.  That
is if
there was any of the real Sansagroth left in the beast that now
had the
Dagger of vengenace.  They found him just outside the enterance.

"Sansagroth..." Rorin said tententivly.

"Aye lad, it is me.....for the moment" he groaned, "The dagger is
sated for
the moment.  But i don't know how long i can hold it off"

Twigpuckle began to sob, "Death isn't a good thing, I really
think somebody
should do something about it"

Sansagroth rasped out a chuckle, "Its the damn dagger..."

"Can you rid yourself of it Cap'n" Kybo asked.

Sansagroth began to twitch in pain.  "It is coming upon me, quick
Kybo...
your sword."

"There they are!, Inprision the traitors and kill the murder!"
The Solamnic
troops had finally shown up (a few cute girls had shown some
ankle and
momentarly stopped the march).

"Please Kybo, let me die as Sansagroth, not the monster the
dagger make me"
Rorin grasped the flame that had recently appeanred on his
forehead. 
Speaking a few words the ground began to shake,  suddendly a deep
tremor
knocked the sols off thier feet.  "They will not desecrate you or
your
death Cap'n" Kybo drew his sword, closed his eyes, and plunged
the sword
into Sansagroth "The seas will take me in...." and thus
Sansagroth died. 
The three then turned to the Solamnics who had regained thier
footing. 
Tear running down eyes enraged with anger over the sols
intentions the
attacked

(Insert Battle Blah here, We win of course)

Cleaning sword, dagger and staff, the three walked back and
gathered up
Sansagroth's body, and brought him out to a special place in the
seas, the
burial grounds for the mariners.  Without a word, they let him
over the
side.  Silently they watched him sink down into the depths.....

Subject  wheeeeeeeeeee



He should have been mourning the dead.  He should have been
wondering what the
solamnics would do when they discovered what he'd done to one of
thier troops
He should have at least been brewing some grog, Sargonnas knew
the Mariners
needed some.  But instead he found himself staring into a calm
pool of water
studying the small flame that had recently appeared on his
forehead.  It was
not a ugly tatoo....but it burned him from within.  Ever since
Kybo had killed
Sansagroth in pity, he had felt the Tatoo burning him...

"Rorin, come inside you'll catch your death out here" Darrius had
pretty
much adopted rorin after Kailf's death.

"Catch my death hrm.....maybe that wouldn't be so bad.  At least
i'd be with
all those i miss now.  i wonder if i'd be missed here" Rorin was
up to his
neck in self-pity.  "Do you think that they are watching us now
Darrius?"

No need to define who "they" were,  every Mariner was heartsick
over the loss
of those who died.  "Of course they are, Just as Justavier and
Aragon are
watching me now.  We have to believe they are still there with
us."

Rorin nodded curtly and followed Darrius inside.  But he could
not help but 
wonder why the tatoo began to burn terribly as he left the pool
of water.
