RITUAL OF ELEMENTAL STRENGTHENING
Ritus Domina Grumal Moonflair, Prophet of Garash says, "Fellow Warlocks, the
reason we have gathered here today is because our bond with the elementals
is weakening, and we must strenghten it."
Ritus Domina Grumal Moonflair, Prophet of Garash says, "I ask any of you
that have open channels to the elements to sever them at this moment, as it will
be necessary to rechannel them into another location."
You sever the link to the realm of Earth.
You sever the link to the realm of Water.
You sever the link to the realm of Fire.

follow me, we will begin to strenghten our connections one element at a
time."

sustenance of life, but in too great of quantities it can be a very powerful
destructive force."
Tsukasa opens his eyes and yawns mightily.
Tsukasa stands up and stretches his arms out wide.
Tsukasa swims smoothly to the out.
Ritus Domina Grumal Moonflair, Prophet of Garash says, "A Warlock knows how
and when to use both aspects of this element to thrive in combat and in every
day life."
Ritus Domina Grumal Moonflair, Prophet of Garash says, "I will know begin
the rite of channeling water into the water elemental."
Ritus Domina Grumal Moonflair, Prophet of Garash says, "At my word I ask you
to do the same."
Elemental Aide Uureru, The Crimson Battlesage says, "How?"
Uureru nods his head emphatically.
Ritus Domina Grumal Moonflair, Prophet of Garash raises his hands and begins
a solemn incantation.
The body of Venator Norgeon, Elemental Apprentice appears in a flash and his
soul descends to fill it, causing the previously expressionless face to fill
with emotion.

immersing your entire body.
With a mighty word of authority Grumal thrusts his hands towards the water
elemental, all of the flood water flying to it.
The elemental absorbs every drop of the water, visibly growing in size.
Ritus Domina Grumal Moonflair, Prophet of Garash lowers his hands and sighs
deeply, the channeling complete.
You notice Grumal's eyelids are beginning to droop.
Ritus Domina Grumal Moonflair, Prophet of Garash says, "Now let us continue
to the fire elemental."

hall of the efreet.

most destructive element by nature."
A water weird glides out to the up.
Ritus Domina Grumal Moonflair, Prophet of Garash says, "He who ignorantly
tries to contain and control it often is consumed by it, only adding to the
flame."
Ritus Domina Grumal Moonflair, Prophet of Garash says, "A Warlock must
understand this when using the power of this element so that his foes may be
struck down, never to rise again."
Grumal's eyes repeatedly shut as he tries to stay awake.
Ritus Domina Grumal Moonflair, Prophet of Garash says, "I will begin the
channeling of fire, and ask that you add to it when I give the word."
Ritus Domina Grumal Moonflair, Prophet of Garash outstretches his arms and
gazes upwards, his eyes blazing with an intense flame.
Soon Grumal's entire body seems to be engulfed in an intensely burning fire.
Ritus Domina Grumal Moonflair, Prophet of Garash levels his eyes with the
fire elemental, which begins spinning madly.

small flame grow in his hand, he looks at the fire elemental and nods slowly.
The elemental and Grumal keep eyes locked as the glow of their bodies grows
brighter and brighter.
With a final shout Grumal drops to his hands and knees as the glowing
subsides, beads of sweat falling from his face to the ground.
Elemental Aide Uureru, The Crimson Battlesage raises his arms and recites a
solemn incantation.

and disappearing into the vortex below.

Ritus Domina Grumal Moonflair, Prophet of Garash says, "Air is a mysterious
element, for although none can see it, all know its effects."
Ritus Domina Grumal Moonflair, Prophet of Garash says, "Without air, life as
we know it would altogether cease to exist, for it is the very essence of
life."
Ritus Domina Grumal Moonflair, Prophet of Garash says, "A Warlock must
realize the necessity of air in everything, for without it he is nothing."
Ritus Domina Grumal Moonflair, Prophet of Garash says, "I shall now begin
the channeling of air, and ask that you do the same when I give the word."
Ritus Domina Grumal Moonflair, Prophet of Garash thrusts his hands outwards
and begins to slowly raise them above his head.
You feel a slight breeze passing by as you glance over to the aerial, which
looks as though it senses something about to happen.
Suddenly a mighty whirlwind thrashes about, throwing the entire observatory
into a state of confusion.
Ritus Domina Grumal Moonflair, Prophet of Garash stands firm in the center
of the platform, his hands still raised as the aerial whips around him.
Ritus Domina Grumal Moonflair, Prophet of Garash says, "Now, focus all of
your energies into the strengthening of air."
Antori Moonflair begins to float infront of your eyes, the very air around
him swirling with energy. He points at the Air Elemental and as the swirling
subsides he gently floats down to the ground again and you feel a strong
gust of wind swirl past you heading towards the Elemental.
You forge a channel through to the elemental skein of the universe.
The power of air is harnessed to your will.

With an air of extreme calm, Grumal lifts his head up and whispers words of
calming.
The wind dies down as Grumal lowers his hands, the aerial returning to the
edge of the observatory.
As you look about the room, everyone seems to be refreshed and rejuvenated
from the experience.
Ritus Domina Grumal Moonflair, Prophet of Garash says, "Only one element
left."

Room of the Warlocks.
Ritus Domina Grumal Moonflair, Prophet of Garash says, "Earth is the most
solid of the elements."
You follow Ritus Domina Grumal Moonflair, Prophet of Garash in to Crystal
Caverns.
Ritus Domina Grumal Moonflair, Prophet of Garash says, "Earth can provide
shelter or foundation when standing firm, but can be dangerous when loosed."
Ritus Domina Grumal Moonflair, Prophet of Garash says, "A Warlock who
understands the protective nature of this element will always stand strong
against trials."
Ritus Domina Grumal Moonflair, Prophet of Garash says, "I will now begin the
strengthening of earth."
Ritus Domina Grumal Moonflair, Prophet of Garash says, "Please do so when I
give the word."
Ritus Domina Grumal Moonflair, Prophet of Garash drops to one knee and
places both hands on the ground.
As Grumal begins a solemn chanting, granite begins to slowly cover his
hands, then gradually envelops his arms.
The quartz elemental begins to slowly grow as Grumal continues to chant, his
voice growing louder and louder.
Grumal's entire body is quickly swallowed by the granite.
Ritus Domina Grumal Moonflair, Prophet of Garash says, "Now strengthen the
earth elemental."
Antori Moonflair leans down and places one hand against the stone floor, you
swear you could have seen an armor of stone surround him for a moment, but
when you look again it's gone. He stands up, arms crossed over his chest and
looks at the Earth Elemental.
Uureru raises his arms and recites a solemn incantation.
A faint rumbling echoes around you.

background.

A faint rumbling echoes around you.
You look at the quartz elemental to see that it has grown to massive
proportions, even compared to its former size.
As soon as you think it would grow too large for the cavern, Grumal stops
chanting, and the granite cracks and falls from his body.
Ritus Domina Grumal Moonflair, Prophet of Garash rises to his feet and
brushes some dust from his shoulders, then smiles.
Ritus Domina Grumal Moonflair, Prophet of Garash says, "The final bond has
been strenghtened, but there is still one more thing to do before the ritual is
complete."
Grumal relaxes his muscles and starts to vibrate slightly.
You follow Ritus Domina Grumal Moonflair, Prophet of Garash south to Crystal
Room of the Warlocks.
Ritus Domina Grumal Moonflair, Prophet of Garash says, "We cannot leave our
ties to the elements as they are, therefore let us perform one final act of
strengthening and protection of the channels."
Ritus Domina Grumal Moonflair, Prophet of Garash says, "It will take extreme
will, but let us now fortify all of the elements at once with the aid of our
Master Crystal."
Ritus Domina Grumal Moonflair, Prophet of Garash says, "Please lend all of
your energies to me."
Ritus Domina Grumal Moonflair, Prophet of Garash says, "Channel all of your
elements into me, so that the ties may be strengthened."
Antori Moonflair looks up, stretching both his arms out to his sides, he
begins to float an inch above the floor. At the same time you feel a gentle rain
across your face, a heat burning your back and the very floor you stand on begins
to shake. He then nods at Grumal and closes his eyes, the elements obviously
trying to rip him apart.
Ritus Domina Grumal Moonflair, Prophet of Garash says, "Everyone else do
likewise."
Ardesco forcefully thrusts both hands forward, and the cacaphony of
the channeled elements can be heard. Moments later, Ardesco
lowers his hands, and winks at Grumal.
Prophet of the Calabi-Yau, Tsukasa clenches his fists in an intesnse act of
will, causing small sparks to fly off of them. Stretching his hands out in
front of him, Tsukasa faces his palms towards the ground, beckoning streams
of Elemental energy to flow through his arms and into his body.
Venator Acheron, Acolyte of Fire bow his head and extends a palm toward
Grumal, allowing a crackling white prismatic light of four elements to travel to
Grumal's wand. Finished, he stands still, unable to do more.
Tsukasa raises his arms aloft, shaking with the exertion of some great feat
of will.
A faint rumbling echoes around you.
The air rushes in your ears.
The air about him crackles and sparks.
You hear the faint sound of running water.
Grumal nods his head slowly, looking very wise.
Ritus Domina Grumal Moonflair, Prophet of Garash holds his staff upright in
front of himself.
Venator Norgeon, Elemental Apprentice closes his eyes and bows his head.
After a few seconds, he is suddenly surrounded by a ring of hard rock, which
explodes outwards into many tiny pieces. Suddenly, fire emanates from his being, but
is quickly squelched by a cascade of water. The entire show is finished with a
soft breeze, after which, Norgeon raises his head.
Prophet of the Calabi-Yau, Tsukasa slowly raises his head forward, his eyes
ebbing bright white with the power of the elements. He quickly puts his
hands on Grumal's shoulder, transferring the glowing energy from himself into
Grumal.
Elemental Aide Uureru, The Crimson Battlesage looks up, streching both his
arms out to his sides, he begins to float and inch above the floor. At the same
time you feel a gentle rain across your face, a heat bruning your back and the
very floor you stand on begins to shake. He then nods at Grumal and closes his
eye, the elements obviously trying ti rip him apart.
Ritus Domina Grumal Moonflair, Prophet of Garash begins to concentrate
intensely, then places the tip of his staff on the Master Crystal.
A bright flash of green light is visible over Northern Sapience. It shimmers
with an iridescent silver glow.
The Master Crystal begins glowing brightly with a rainbow of colors.
In an act of extreme will shouts words of strengthening over the elemental
bonds.
Soon the Master Crystal is glowing so brightly that you must turn your gaze
from it.
A stray beam washes over the magnificent crystal, causing a rainbow of
colours to engulf the cavern.
Grumal's body begins to shake, and his staff falls from his hands as he
drops breathless to the ground.
After several minutes Grumal regains his breath and stands once again to his
feet, wielding his staff.
Ritus Domina Grumal Moonflair, Prophet of Garash says, "The ritual is now
complete."
Ritus Domina Grumal Moonflair, Prophet of Garash says, "Please stop
channeling the elements into me."
Antori Moonflair slowly severs the bond to each of the elements, and gently
drops down to the floor again. He leans on his staff looking at Grumal with
a wise look in his eyes, after a few moments he looks at you instead and
slowly nods, as if thanking you for the help with the ritual. He stands up
straight, looks at the Master Crystal and smile, content with the result of todays
events.
The water weird suddenly collapses into a puddle of normal water.
The water weird suddenly collapses into a puddle of normal water.
Ritus Domina Grumal Moonflair, Prophet of Garash says, "Our bonds with the
elementals have been renewed."
You cheer wildly!
Prophet of the Calabi-Yau, Tsukasa falls to a slump to the ground, the eerie
glow finally dissapating from around him. He examines the hand he had on
Grumal's shoulder, and frowns at the charred, blackened marks that now
decorate it.
Tsukasa wipes the back of his hand across his head in relief as he mutters,
"Whew."
Tsukasa gives Grumal a respectful salute.

Grumal gives a pained sigh.
Norgeon applauds Grumal heartily.
Ritus Domina Grumal Moonflair, Prophet of Garash says, "That was exhausting."
Ardesco waves his hand professionally, and the cacaphonous
sound of the elements slows down, and starts to reverse itself until the
sound of it too dies down.
Antori Moonflair says, "Meddling with the elements often are."
Grumal nods his head emphatically.
Antori Moonflair says, "The power they hold combined is too much for us to
understand, even less try to control."
Tsukasa gets some gold sovereigns from a sailor's kitbag.
Grumal nods his head emphatically.
Jover tells you, "What exactly does a ritual do?"
Ritus Domina Grumal Moonflair, Prophet of Garash says, "Does anyone have any
questions concerning what happened today?"
Uureru shakes his head.
Norgeon shakes his head.
Prophet of the Calabi-Yau, Tsukasa says to Grumal, "What makes you so cool?"
Jover's mouth turns up as his face breaks into a smile.
Uureru narrows his eyes to thin slits.
Antori Moonflair says, "He's a Moonflair, you need nothing else."
The body of Venator Lorac, Raging Squall appears in a flash and his soul
descends to fill it, causing the previously expressionless face to fill with
emotion.
Lorac raises his arms and recites a solemn incantation.
A faint rumbling echoes around you.
Uureru raises an eyebrow questioningly.
Uureru laughs without conviction.
Tsukasa sticks out his tongue and wetly goes, "Pffhhttt!!"
Ritus Domina Grumal Moonflair, Prophet of Garash says, "Everything."
Ritus Domina Grumal Moonflair, Prophet of Garash says, "And nothing."
The corners of Grumal's mouth turn up as he grins mischievously.
Antori Moonflair says, "We renewed our bonds with the four elements."
Antori Moonflair says, "That would be everything."
Antori Moonflair says, "Now we're discussing families."
Antori Moonflair says, "That would be nothing."
Norgeon utters a deep, rumbling laugh.
Venator Lorac, Raging Squall says, "Haha."
Elemental Aide Uureru, The Crimson Battlesage says, "I'll be going now."
Uureru doffs his hat cordially.
"Heh heh heh" Grumal chuckles.
Grumal waves goodbye at Uureru.

well."

attending."
Lorac leaves to the south.
Antori Moonflair says, "It was my pleasure."
Tsukasa gets some gold sovereigns from a sailor's kitbag.
The first faint feelings of exhaustion prick at your consciousness.

able to use them effeciently."
