Pointing at the dwarf Nessa told the other elves - as she could remember their names were Thalion and Alexander - what has happened: "My name is Nessa Anárion. And this dwarf stole my Opal. I mentioned it when I came here - when nobody was listening... It is the last keepsake of my family. I have nothing more than this gem on top of that dwarfs wand. It is mine, and I must have it back. I will get it by any costs!"

After her walk to the marketplace Nessa returns to the Great Hall. She was cold so she decided to search herself a warm place. On her way to the fireplace she casually had a look on the quest board. There it was again: that name - Stigveladi Kötturin. It was placed on a quest called "Sang Des Hommes". So she quickly decides to also to sign up for Quest #55. After that she goes to the warm and cosy place at the fire. Suddenly her breath rattled. "You there, DWARF!" she shouted. After all that time finally she found the thief of her precious. "Give me back what belongs to me!" If he wouldn't react Nessa made herself ready to reach her bow.

Full of agony Nessa leaves the marketplace and returns to the Great Hall.

Nessa enters the marketplace. Suspiciously she looked around. All those people here with their hastily trading. She went to a dark corner and watched the whole scenario. Her memories returned to her family... she went down to her knees. Tears were running down her face. Nobody recognized her.

After studying the rest of the hall, Nessa decides to search for the dwarf elsewhere. Good, she thought by herself, nobody seems to notice.

She was wandering around that Great Hall after noone was willing to help her. She was depressed. She noticed all that hesitation for those "quests". So she walked to that board where a lot of sheets were hanging. She read through all those anouncements when suddenly she saw it. What did the elf say? Stigveladi Kötturin, that was the name. It was written under the "Quest #54". Not really knowing what she does, Nessa signs up for Quest #54, hoping to be choosen and finally find the thievish dwarf who stole her precious. Whenn all the memories came back she nearly lost her mind. All the things she had to go through. She nearly had no strength left for these kind of discussions. The memories returned. And it hurt. Painful she closed her eyes.

"So there is noone here willing to help me?" She sighed. Her anger rose. You can trust nobody, she thought to herself, while looking around.

Now she realized. An elf? She hadn't seen one of her kind in years... since it happend. Why are these people that kindly? With an uncertain voice she answered while still standing: "What does he look like? I followed him for weeks now! He stole a very precious gift of mine. Tell me, have you seen him? And I think it is my thing in which state I am!" She felt even more uncertain. Those people here - they were... different. No, that could not be. Watch out, stupid girl, noone is good. With a harsh tone she added: "Be quick. I'm in a hurry!"

"I don't have time for this!" she answered the elf talking to her. Nessa looked around this kind of great tavern. She had no clue where she was. In a rushed tone she asked: "Have you seen a dwarf? He must be here around. Certainly he just arrived shortly."

There was a loud rant outside the Great Hall. With a shattering sound the doors flung open and an elven Ranger entered with a grim look on her face. By the power of the kick the doors clashed to the walls and fell back into the lock. With a trembling voice she called, so that everyone could here it: "Ëas massë?"

Sandy, on 02 December 2012 - 06:38 PM, said: Ellaria looks at the strange dwarf intently. "Thank you for this insight. There are so many cultures and beliefs in this world that I know nothing about... So your goddess was once a living creature, raised as an object of worship? I've heard stories similar to that about my goddess, Sylvania. Some say she is the almighty Queen of Fairies, residing somewher beyond our realm in the Faerie. But I don't know if that is true. I would probably have to find a way into the Faerie before I could find it out. No, I still have enough faith in my goddess so that no minstrel's tales sway me. Anyway, it was nice chatting with you, Stigveladi. It has been a long day for me, and I must retire." The druid got up and gave the dwarf a courteous smile before departing. Returning to the emptiness of her room above the apotechary frightened her, but she knew that she would have to go there sooner or later. One must face her inner demons if she wishes to beat them... Amma was satisfied with her first attempt in communicating with other beings. It turned out that she wasn't out of practice at all. She leans back in her chair, smiling pleased with the last hours, and tries to get some sleep as well.

Introduction of Nessa Anárion (the indents are the quoted posts): There was a loud rant outside the Great Hall. With a shattering sound the doors flung open and an elven Ranger entered. By the power of the kick the doors clashed to the walls and fell back into the lock. With a trembling voice she called, so that everyone could here it:” „Ëas massë?#” Alexander sees a new Elf entering in the Hall: "Hey, are you new here?? Would you like to take a drink??" "I don't have time for this!" she answered the elf talking to her. Nessa looked around this kind of great tavern. She had no clue where she was. In a rushed tone she asked: "Have you seen a dwarf? He must be here around. Certainly he just arrived shortly." Hearing this, Thalion turned and saw an unfamiliar face at the doors of the Hall. "Hello friend! You look like you have traveled much in a short time; sit down with us, relax and tell us who is it you are looking for!?" Another elf? She hadn't seen that many of her kind in years... since it happend. Why are they that kindly? With an uncertain voice she answered while still standing: "There was a dwarf. I followed him for weeks now! He stole a very precious gift of mine. Tell me, have you seen him?" With a harsh tone she added: "Be quick. I'm in a hurry!" "The only dwarf just arrived is Stigveladi Kötturin, but I think will not be very willing to discuss, at least not with an elf. Also there is no need to have all this haste." "What does he look like? And I think it is my thing in which state I am!" She felt even more uncertain. Those people here - they were... different. No, that could not be. Watch out, stupid girl, noone is good. Atramor chuckled, struggling to recall anyone other than Docken or Skrall using a bow and not being an elf. She noticed that strange guys smirk. "You there, human!" She said most avertedly. "What do you know?" "I know that you sound like you need a drink. Chill out, damn," suggested Atramor, rolling his eyes. "I don't want a drink. I don't need a drink. All I need is that little thievish dwarf!" She nearly lost her mind. All the things she had to go through. She nearly had no strength left for these kind of discussions. The memories returned. And it hurt. Painful she closed her eyes. Seeing the uspet elf, Alexander tries to reason with her, saying "You really need to calm down. As Atramor says, take a break, have a drink and, if you want, tell us a little about your story" It was too much. She searched a nearby place to sit down. Helpless, with all her anger, pain and thoughts of vengeance, she lowered her voice when she started to speak: "I lived with my family in the northern woods. We were living in a small settlement with some other elves. We separated from our clan quite a lot of time ago, my mother told me. I never knew why, but I never cared about it. She often told me about ancient times, when the elven clans were living united and in perfect harmony. One day I was away from home gathering some fruit and mushroom. I was very excited; it was my first trip alone. On my way back home I had a strange feeling. I didn’t knew what it was but it made my mind shake." She paused. All that memories returned to her mind. She had to swallow. The past was hard to describe. More to herself than the others around her, Nessa continued: "When I came near the houses I realized smoke rising through the treetops. I started to run home. As I arrived at our shelter I saw it; and it shocked me. Everything was burnt down. My father was dead; executed by a sword. Then I saw her. My mother was lying on the ground. She perceived me and her face lit up. “I’m glad to see you for my last sight. Don’t worry; we will go to the great halls of our ancestors. We will meet there; in peace and harmony.” I started to cry. “Hush, my little girl. You have to be strong now. Here, take this gem – and keep it in remembrance of your origin.” With her last breath she gave me the bijou. It was an Opal – and it became my precious." Her mind cleared up. With tears in her eyes she said: "This gem has been stolen; by a dwarf!" Alexander heard all the story of the new elf and says: "I'm really sorry for what happened to you but I think the dwarf that stolen the Opal wouldn't certainly come here, in a Hall full of brave heroes. Here you can search for glory and treasure partecipatig in Quest and maybe find your precious Opal. I hope to be helpful and take a drink, it helps." "I am not interested in glory or treasures or... quests. And I don't know what drives a corrupted mind. I don't know why this dwarf came here. But I really need to find him. As soon as possible. This artefact - it's all I have left; the last memory of my family. So please, if there is anything you might tell me, I'd be really grateful for telling me." She gave up. It felt like she never would get it back. Her anger about the dwarf grew even more. Her hopeless situation was about to break her will. EDIT: even copy paste is nothing for beginners (bold text reformatted) Thank you, Sandy
