Record
Arranax DeVin:  Well then. No reason why we can't get moving at the moment. Let’s do the typical 'last week's happenings' bit. Since Oli's gods knows where, does anyone wish to speak about her archery course? Also called to order, and all that.

Drossy:  I can.

Arranax DeVin: Have at it, Child.

Drossy: Evening, senators! Earlier this week, Oli instructed a small archery lesson. She covered the basics of positioning and firing a bow on a controlled archery range, but also gave us some tips in case we ever needed to shoot a bow elsewhere- like, say, When it was all said and done, she even remained after the lesson and helped a few of us better our skill. It was pleasant.

Arranax DeVin: Dismissed. Alright then. Archmage Sinclair?

<span style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif"">Vesiana Sinclair: <span style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%;font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif"">Thank you. As some of you already know, this past weekend was phase 2 of the Blasted Lands reclamation. After having established the demons and cultists were interfering with the Dark Portal's magics, we elected to cull them. This past week, we exterminated the majority of the demons around the Portal, and in the hinterland of the territory, including three lieutenants. As for future phases, I will defer that briefing until the end of the meeting.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif"">Arranax DeVin: <span style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%;font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif"">Anyone want to speak on the whole 'official get drunk' evening, rather than the normal 'everyone's drunk always' evenings?

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif"">Lady Azsharana: <span style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%; font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif"">Is it wise for Arcane practitioners to drink? Should that not be banned?

If anything, I suggest that we have nightly drinking parties to increase... creativity.

Since Nimue isn't around, I'll cover what the Department of Humanoid Resources has planned for Monday. Since last vacation was such a hit, the Department of Human Resources is setting up another vacation for the Magus Senate.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif"">Drossy: <span style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif"">..oh, no.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif"">Margrave Haifrall: <span style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%;font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif"">Why?

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif"">Muzula Silverweave: <span style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%; font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif"">.....So it's...more Brooze. This'll be lovely.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif"">Lady Azsharana: <span style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%; font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif"">Is this vacation mandatory?

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif"">Margrave Haifrall: <span style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%;font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif"">Is that the premise of every action we take?

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif"">Margrave Haifrall: <span style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%;font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif"">One person deemed it a good idea, so we just roll with it?

You are not required to go. All of you take the sticks out of your asses and relax.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif"">Drossy: <span style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif"">Nimue -always- acts as though intoxicated.. This is going to be one fel of a vacation.

It is not mandatory. Just encouraged. Secondly. Probably, Silverweave. Third? Ask her. Any other questions? Thank you Lord DeVin. You are dismissed. You're welcome Lord DeVin. Thank you.. Anyone else have anything planned for the coming week? If so, raise your hand. Alright, alright.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif"">Velianaris: <span style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif"">This next Thursday, I plan to have the second Hymn lesson to go through due to being busy with recent activities within Darnassus and the like. I have also decided to add one other type of hymn to the list if we get through the others to quickly.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif"">Gehlnarine Liridian: <span style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%; font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif""> Hymns?

For those of you interested we will be having them near the memorial statue around Nine O'clock. That is all.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif"">Vesiana Sinclair: <span style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%;font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif"">Thank you. As I mentioned earlier, tomorrow will be the next -and hopefully last- phase of the campaign to reclaim the Blasted Lands. The Violet Company, Nethergarde garrison, and assorted allies will be amassing at Surwich in the evening, with the goal of cleansing the wood, and the tainted valley. If successful, the Blasted Lands will be demon-free. I do have one point, related by extension. I have been approached by the Grand Council of the Alliance. They are requesting aid for future Alliance efforts, and have promised to assist us tomorrow. I could only speak for the Violet Company, so I assured the representatives that I would make their request known to the Senate at large.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif"">Damon Halliwell: <span style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%; font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif""> Have them come and speak to us at some point so we may talk with them.

If they have a diplomatic offer for consideration, tell them to send a representative to us to speak terms. Yes.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif"">Vesiana Sinclair: <span style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%;font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif"">At the moment, no, other than questions I assume you have. I will summon their diplomat when we are done tonight.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif"">Arranax DeVin: <span style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%;font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif"">Divine. Thank you, dismissed. You're up, Alteraci.

This, however, is not true, as I have had the date of the trial moved to the fifth.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif"">Zanbor Emerson: <span style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%;font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif"">What trial?

We are spending money on a trial...if no one is sent to jail I am taking it out of both of your pays!

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif"">Zanbor Emerson: <span style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%;font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif"">Take it out of their pay... Good idea.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%;font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif""> Arranax DeVin: Well. Since I want to get to drinking, and no one else raised their hand? I open the floor to anyone who wants to speak.
