It all begun with a misunderstanding, which was embarrassing at the time but rather funny in retrospect...
On day 100 of the Dancing Moon I was at Rebel Island, depositing some goods in my chest, when a message from a young cleric friend reached me - he desired my help in fighting a couple of evil trees, who had planted their roots right next to each other, so I sent message back that I would shortly set off for the city of Andris and I also sent a message to Gawr, who was busy chatting to other people at Lerilin bank, informing him of my plans.
While still at Rebel Hall, Teleco II arrived and seemed in a great hurry to grab a pure red crystal, but I never thought of asking his business there so we went our separate ways. At the portal, much to my surprise, I met Gawr, who simply said "I am coming too". We dropped our crystals and, along the road to Andris, we had the happiness of meeting our dear wizard friend - Lou Bene. After greeting each other, Gawr asked her if she would accompany us on a rescue and, before I could make any comments, our attention was diverted by the arrival of two young travellers, chased by a nasty giant, so we applied our thoughts and energies to the task in hand. Lou agreed to follow us and so we marched together to the location where my young cleric friend, Nicodemus, was waiting for me. Teleco II arrived at the same time and it was at this point that the misunderstanding became apparent - Gawr had not read my message properly and had summoned Teleco to a rescue!!! The necessary apologies were made and then I asked Nicodemus to accompany me to the spot where the evil trees had been threatening him and the young wizard Marquisen. I turned to Lou and asked her if she would come as well, so a little party of robes set off in a north-easterly direction, Gawr following shortly after.
As soon as the magic trees had been dealt with, we were alarmed by some turmoil that seemed to shake the ground below us and originate from some point beyond the rocks. I suggested we should go and investigate and, as soon as we reached the other side of the rocks, we were greeted by a bone mage. Soon after this encounter, a cluster of evil trees presented itself to our surprised eyes (this was, after all, the usually very tranquil area behind the Circle of Druids Hall). After a moment's astonishment, Lou, Gawr and I nodded to each other and plunged deep into battle. Young Nicodemus and young Marquisen joined us in the mighty fight and acquitted themselves brilliantly.
Once the fortress of brackens had been brought down, a chest came into view and we sent our fighter to investigate. Gawr tried to open it but alas, with no success. We were debating whether to send a message to a rogue friend when Sir Avesne appeared and asked us what had occurred. After relating the events, he offered to try and open the chest (***). It seemed a magic trick had made it to appear as locked and, when Gawr stepped on it again, the chest revealed its contents - a shiny object in the shape of a silver leaf! Sir Avesne then told us about a myth, which claimed such events happen only once every hundred years - he stressed, though, that it was just a myth.
(***)
(Avesne): Cheap trickery this one.
(Fuoco): is it?
(Lou Bene): Oh.
(Nicodemus): i still hear sounds of lightning bolts in my head
(Avesne): Enchanted to make it seem locked.
(Fuoco): the impudence!
(Lou Bene): Hehe.
(Marquisen): ^^
(Nicodemus): ooh
(Lou Bene): Enchanted lock?
(Avesne): Clever and cheap.
(Nicodemus): *hugs tree*
(Avesne): There is a real trap.
(Avesne): I'm not setting it off.
(Fuoco): ah
(Gawr): I can take the blast maybe
(Fuoco): please Gawr
(Avesne): Let the meathead do it, that's the old way.
(Nicodemus): * pur clar *
(Gawr): Thank you Nicodemus
(Fuoco): well fighter?
(Gawr): There is a silver leaf here
(Avesne): *sits*
After some discussion, the silver leaf was entrusted to Nicodemus, and we made a pact that our little group would be together when the precious object could be put to good use (I am personally much looking forward to an expedition to Aborek with Lou Bene at my side).
The conversation then turned to other subjects. Sir Avesne stressed the fact that red is the true colour for wizards and provided us with suitable robes (at this stage I would like to say something about my uniform - I wear black robes and a red hat as a sign of admiration for the good Evers. Incidentally, it was many moons ago that I accompanied her, together with a group of wizards, to the cave near Duldrus where Sir Avesne was found and brought back to the surface - I remember the venerable mage's struggle to get used to the daylight again).
As the conversation proceeded, more people joined our little group - Fiera was the first to appear and was soon followed by Shadran Mathas and finally, our good juff made a striking appearance - his attire consisted of a red jester hat, matching shirt and pants! Sir Avesne commented approvingly on the growing number of female wizards and, when Gawr muttered he had a feeling the great mage did not like fighters (maybe because he was told to shut up and addressed to as a meathead?), Sir Avesne averted any comments by staring at the rocks with such an intensity that we thought he was trying to penetrate deep into their very core - I do believe at some stage he muttered that a particular rock appeared to be full of etherite... His gaze returned to the surrounding group once more and he announced he would rebuild the Sorcerers' Council, adding "As it should have been".
Finally, the subject of the Black Hand was approached. Sir Avesne stated that it was a brigand organisation, comprising mainly low scoundrels, but with some powerful mages at their disposal. I did venture to ask how powerful and what was their purpose (I later experienced my first encounter with one, and can assert they are not as intimidating as liches - thank the Goddess for that!), but to that Sir Avesne replied he is still learning and, soon after, he took his leave.
(OCC - the was a funny commentary in red during our fight with the trees: "With Lou Bene on your side, you cannot lose", "Though it seemed Lou was late, it was not in fact so", "For there was more trouble waiting on the other side of that pile of rocks.", "But due to the lack of a ranger no one had noticed it.", "Would our heroes prevail against the evil trees?")

OOC: Thanks for writing it up, Fuoco :)
Even though I would agree with Avesne that red is the colour, I think an exception should be open for Lou. Light blue just suits her.
