CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Falil shrugged, "I'm not certain. If it were not for political hubbub we could be there in a few days. But I'm afraid we'll only just be organizing an army in a few days."

Everyone knows archery, most know swords, and many are accomplished in hand-to-hand. They have armor for themselves and weapons. I can handle any political conflict, but I insist that Sierra and I accompany you to Isla de Amor, I haven't been there in quite a while and I miss the island

"Of course you can come. Why wouldn't you? Perhaps itwon't take as long to reach Amor as I thought. Sometimes I forget how militarily trained my fellow elves are compared to the rest of the world."

(ooc: I need the town that Kelly and Sierra are at so I can bring my men to them)
ic: Scott was still on the move tworads (insert town name) with his 1500 men on horse knights of atlas. Scott thought the name kind of funny.

Falil nodded to Kelli, "Yes, that would be a good idea. I will have to get my affairs in order as well, now that you mention it. Perhaps I can accompany you to your quarters before departing for my own manor?"

(((Yeah, I posted a bit back that Daethalion and Merideth stepped out onto the balcony and I was hoping there might be some conversation between the other dinner companions, just to give me something to build off.)))

ooc: Sorry for the sub par post, too busy to prim and polish
ic:
Athos saw as Daethalion had left and he turned to his companions.
"I sincerely apologize for the violence of the evening.
Completely unintentional I assure you. Though you must admit, our company is never boring. I will escort you home if you desire my dear, and leave our companions to their own devices."
This pleased the young lady extremely and they left the tavern.
After leaving her at her manor, Athos made his way to the coast of the island.
Tomorrow was the first part of the tournament, and the first step to the defeat of Avalon.

Falil firmly agreed with Kelli before pointing the way with his arm as he began to walk toward the council building, "Let's be off, then."
((All right, Rachael, why don't you take over Falil for a little bit because I'm not sure where you're going right now and our short little posts are taking up a lot of needless room.))
Obacai put down his menu before turning to Rebecca, "I am also terribly sorry about tonight. I..."
Rebecca leaned over and put a finger against Obacai's lips, "Shh...it's all right. I understand. Your life is not a boring one."
"No, I guess it isn't. And I'm afraid I've lost my appetite."
"I as well."
At this, Obacai and Rebecca rose from the table and walked out of the tavern together. After dropping Rebecca off at her residence, Obacai made his way to the beach. Some how, he knew that Athos would be there.
Athos was there, and the brilliant moonlight outlined his frame so well that Obacai could not help but wonder if Athos was not the famed Kra-Akken himself. Obacai shook the thought from his mind before approaching his friend, who seemed to be in deep thought, "I thought I'd find you here. What's on your mind?"

"Vengeance, my friend. We may be the hunter's but we are being hunted.
I would be lying if I told you that I believed that we were safe. Our cover's are easily lost. There is one way out of this. Befriend the king, he is young, rich, conceited and possibly the most powerful person in the world after the emperor. It was my plan to conquer the city. I have seen his defences, he has the most well trained forces I have ever seen, trained by Atlantian Warmaster's and elven sages. The deaths of his Captains of the Guard will not alter that, our forces will fall. We do have a choice, if I win the tournament I will become the minister to the King, Lord of Avalon. In that position we could bring the King to alligance with Amoria.
You must become the favorite of the King, learn his etiquette better than he knows it himself, become a wit and convince him.
While you do this I will fight. My task if much more simple than yours."
Athos told him these things and watched for his reactions, this business of Avalon took far longer than he had anticipated and he sensed danger, the Monks of Kra-Akken were here but that was not all.
His intuition screamed that there were darker, more subtle and infinitely for dangerous forces but as shadows they vanished right as they seemed most tangible.
He knew not what they were but he knew beyond a glimmer of a doubt where they sprung from

ooc: okay, i'll try
*Kelli and Falil made their way to the council room. Kelli was admitted and Falil waited outside, awaiting the council's permission to leave the city. When Kelli returned she beamed at Falil and the pair hurried to the armory where the elves were assembled.*
We have been granted permission to leave, but it must be within two days. *A murmur went through the crowd. Two days? To assemble an army and provisions? Not to mention the armor. Kelli smiled, unfased* We can do it, no problem. I also recieved word that a small army approaches from Yitai. I hope that they will be greeted and given more provisions and they will join us on the way to to the coast. There are ships there waiting to take us to Amor where we shall find lodgings and... *Kelli paused as the name came to her tounge. She hadn't spoken of hi, since she had left Dominic's home more than a month before. She took a cool breath of air to clear her head and continued* And Atlas, who will lead us to battle!
ooc: Now how's that for wasted space?

(((Wow, it seems that everyone had the same idea.)))
Daethalion led Merideth back inside, only to see that, in his absence, the others had left. "Apparently, the others felt the same way," he said. Madam, I will be taking my meal with me. This," he said, handing her a pouch, "Would constitute more than enough for all of our meals, my plate, damages caused by the troubles with the assassins, and a hefty tip." He picked up the platter his meal was set upon and escorted Merideth out the building.
"You really shouldn't be so generous, Maxim," Merideth chided kindly as they strolled down the street.
"Two things never last forever," Daethalion proverbed. "Wealth and happiness, so there is no point in living for them or struggling to keep them."
"You have a point, I guess," Merideth mused.
It was only a few blocks to Merideth's appartment. As they came to the doorway, Merideth turned to face him. "Well," she began with a sigh, "Thank you for trying to show me a good time."
"I am sorry things did not go very well tonight. Perhaps tomorrow, after the tournament registration, you and I could have a session with the blade, and after, another attempt at dinner."
"Really?" Merideth said hopefully.
"Absolutely, Merideth. Namárië."
Merideth smiled gently, "Namárië," she replied as she entered the building.
Daethalion continued on toward the beach. It would be wonderful to wash in the sea and be out of this makeup, then to skate across the pale sands under the moonlight. He could hear the ocean rolling against the shore, peacefully but in the moonlight he could see two figures, his dinner guests. This spoiled his evening plans a little, but if this was who he suspected, it could prove beneficial. "Are these my dinner guests?" he called loudly to them, still holding his platter. "Why it is! Is it not strange that I should meet you here as well? Well, fate has her strange ways. I guess that we all need a bit a calming after tonight, and what better than the sea for that, eh?" He sat on the sands and began to eat his meal, trying to look friendly, and hoping this conversation would not last long so that he could get back to his plans.
