Silithus

[Vennidaar Moonshaft]

Hi folks, it was great to see so many new faces last night, but due to my late arrival I missed the jist of the reason for heading to Silithus. Any replys would be appreciated

Well, they flew from Feralas, Feathermoon Stronghold to Silithus. I THINK it was Valor's Rest, I'm not too sure. Although it was North of Cenarion Hold. When we were there Aldrannath and Nathaldir went to the dragon bones to pray, while Nomani walked in the opposite direction, with no purpose to pray.

We made our way from there, along the path. There was a group of Outriders, Caranir spoke to them; they were polite. They didn't really give much information. Although it was noted in raid chat that when they dismissed us that they stayed where they were. That then led to a small conversation how they have to wait for the worst and whatnot.

We reached Cenarion Hold. It was noted that there was the constant humming of the Ahn'Quiraji bugs. They were looking for a place to talk really, so they went to the Inn and begun to spoke. Aldrannath was looking at the bookcase for a short while, and the others were gathered around the benches, talking to Caranir. There was noted tension between Fenrina (Elsaa) and Nathaldir.

Eventually Nomani came back, Aldrannath went to her. She was at the entrance of the Inn. Ralane was then whispering some things to Fenrina ( Elsaa ) which made her paranoid and uneasy. She approached Nomani and asked whether anything else had happened, perhaps the characteristics of the bugs were different. Nomani had no idea what was going on so Ralane put rather bluntly: "Are there bugs inside of you?" The idea was dismissed.

Aldrannath told Caranir that he would be in charge of the 'scouts' (Can't remember the exact word.) and that they were going to look around the area. They followed Aldrananth and Nomani to the Moonwell and were blessed.

Caranir, Cernunnos, Nathaldir, Kaylaneh, Fenrina, Ashunera, Deliaris and Ralane made their way on to scout. Caranir foudn something in the sand, (Needs better explaining then I can do.) that then led them to a sort of clearing where there was a lot Twilight Cultists. They were sort of guarding the cave, the group killed them all and made their way into the cave. They then killed more in the cave.

They reached the end of the cave and there was a rune on the floor, it wasn't identified what it was, it was only speculated on what it could be. There was also an alter with a book, crates along the cave walls, and on the table was a murky brown bubbling liquid coming from a bowl.

Ralane stood in the middle of the circle, not really paying much attention to her surrounding until she was told to get off of it. She got off of it while the other gathered around it; the speculating began there. Ralane then tried to smudge the runes to see what sort of material it was, it didn't smudge and she was told to go to the other side of the room.

Ashunera was then looking at the altar, with the book on. Caranir and Nathaldir were talking to her as well. (I can't really remember what was said there, that will need more explaining.) Raane busted up one of the crates, inside it was candles, food, robes and herbs. Deliaris then put forth the idea that the group should dress up as cultists and see if they could infiltrate them - Ralane agreed and the idea was dismissed rather quickly.

Caranir then said to Ralane (I think) that she wasn't even a Ranger so how was she expected to infiltrate Twilight Cultists. Ralane was disheartened and looked for more crates with clues. (There I didn't know what was going on, although it wasn't for a long time that she was gone.)

Ralane headed back and they started to make their way out of the cave. Nothing was really said, nothing that was productive to what they found. (In my perception, although it could be different from someone elses.)

Fernrina and Ralane were at the front of the group, nothing was being said and there weren't that many beasts ahead of them. Nor were they that far from the Cenarion Hold; they ran. I'm not sure what happened when they ran although I could imagine something about being foolish or childish.

Aldrannath was speaking to Nomani at the Moonwell, I think it was Elder talk although wasn't there, and only caught the ending of it. Fenrina and Ralane rather crudely, morbidly made a sort of burial for Nathaldir; this was from previous tensions. It was from a skull that Ralane took from the cave, curiosity getting the better of her and wanting to find out what the race of it was.

The other came back and tensions were pretty hot. Nathaldir was saying how he wanted them disposed of, they shouldn't be there and that they should throw Ralane and Fenrina into the wilds. I don't think Deliaris was being spoken to, seeing as she wasn't involved. Cernunnos was rather quiet, standing back. Deliaris turned to Nathaldir and said: "We should dispose of you."

There was a lot of arguing, practically everyone biting their heads off. It was sort of a Female Vs. Male thing going on and as well as Old Vs. Young. Then there was something about Fenrina asking Nathldir whether he really wanted her to leave, he said yes and she went off rather disheartened. Ralane went to coax her back. I'm not sure what was said during this time.

Aldrannath came over and said that Nathldir was going to lead them to Ahn'Quiraji place, because everything was leading to there. Then Fenrina and Ralane voiced their disapprovals, it was then changed to Caranir and if all failed then Ralane would guide them back to safety.

There was also the tension between Nathldir and Aldrannath. Aldrannath said something along the lines of: "If you don't respect the younger ones, continue to insults them and all that; then you deal with me. Is that clear?" ( Not the exact words, but it was along those lines. ) Nathaldir responded: "Clear as water."

That sort of cleared things up, they had a small talk about the task ahead of them and then you showed up.

Let me know if it was useful Would be good to get others to respond too, as I can only give my account of what happened.

[Aldrannath]

I think you misremembered or misunderstood the bit about Aldrannath asking Nathaldir to lead the expedition - that would never happen. Caranir, as First Ranger, is automatically in charge, and Nathaldir was even pointedly excluded from Aldrannath's long list of deputies (Caranir - Elders - Ashunera - Vennidaar - otherwise have Ralane lead the retreat). Basically, Ald long ago noticed that while Nathaldir is competent at what he does, he'd be disastrous in command.

I gather that during the attack on the Twilight Cultists there was some OOC confusion about what could be considered sensible IC behaviour, hopefully now cleared up.

Thanks Ralane!

[Ralane Featherblade]

Oh okay, I thought that was how it went because I think Fenrina interpreted as that as well. Oh well, I get it now And no problem.
