But please dispose of the corpse in our heavy duty waste bins out back. I don't want another candy cream incident." "Hrm? Hello?" Fadran turned around. "Oh hi." "Hey," Rayvyn said. "We're back, and we brought the kid's brother. Did Klave take care of the body?"

Klave moved off towards the back, corpse in tow. Just now, Aes Sedai said: "Hey," Rayvyn said. "We're back, and we brought the kid's brother. Did Klave take care of the body?" Just now, The Aspiring Archivist said: The brother carried Tacien, who was still sobbing into his shirt. "So, I was thinking. We may need to stay here. Apparently, our home isn't safe. There are... some people after my brother. "That's what's going on?" Fadran pinched the bridge of his nose. What a day. He let out a breath, then looked up again and gave them a small - but heartfelt - smile. "You can absolutely stay here. I recently redid a lot of the defenses, so this place is a lot safer than probably a lot of fortresses."

Why did you let a six-year-old into your inn with no supervision? I heard that there was a lot of potentially dangerous stuff going on."
Channelknight Fadran Posted January 4, 2023 Author Posted January 4, 2023 "There was a lot of potentially dangerous stuff going on. I took care of..." Fadran seesawed his hands, "...most of it. The other stuff doesn't come upstairs much."
Nathrangking he/him Posted January 4, 2023 Posted January 4, 2023 Nath hears the voices upon the wind. He senses the danger unspoken and sends his voice to Fadran alone. "Perhaps we should see to your defenses. If forces are bold enough to attempt an attack here then they should be made to realize that unwelcome guests to this mindscape will not be tolerated." @Channelknight Fadran

I already have a room, and so does the kid--who's name turns out to be Tacien--so I assume the brother will stay there with him. Speaking of which, what's your name? You never said. And I haven't seen anything too dangerous here."

If forces are bold enough to attempt an attack here then they should be made to realize that unwelcome guests to this mindscape will not be tolerated." @Channelknight Fadran My guy, I've been working for three months making sure nothing like the Beorin incident happens again. None of the threats here are actually threatening. 3 minutes ago, The Aspiring Archivist said: "So then, why should I be keeping my brother here instead of just at home, if either place is risky?" "Because you said you'd rather stay here?" Fadran patted the little lad on the head. "Listen. Nothing here is evil. The conditions for entry select against those with premeditated or otherwise detectable levels of malice and hatred. That doesn't technically stop things like ancient drifters and eldritch horrors from coming in, but as long as we keep them nice and cozy downstairs - don't bother them or anything - then they aren't likely to wake from their eternal slumber."
The Bookwyrm he/him Posted January 4, 2023 Posted January 4, 2023 (edited) Bookwyrm walked up to the group before realizing that an important conversation was happening. He slowed down and stopped, listening. Astyl, who was relatively small for a dragon, stood at his side, the colored blue and white lines running across him glowing softly against his black scales. Perideria remained in Bookwyrm's room. Upon hearing of a "downstairs", though, he intervened: "What exactly do you keep down there? What kind of drifters and horrors?" @Channelknight Fadran Edited January 4, 2023 by The Bookwyrm

I dunno if there's a capital G "God" out there in charge of the Macrosmos, but if there is then these things probably come from his fever dreams."

I designed it that way to bring friends and allies from afar. You were with me for all that testing, weren't you? You know just as well as I that it'd take a force beyond even yours to actually penetrate my barriers.

And do we not all wish that we can help them as no one helped us?”
