Roscoe Lee Browne: Reekon, Merklynn

Quotes 

• Merklynn : Cease fighting, you fools! There is magic enough for everyone! Now all you need do is break the door down, and enter the shrine.

  Leoric : Cryotek, why don't you vent your aggressions on the offending slab of wood?

• Ectar : A magical shrine? But surely that's ridiculous.

  Merklynn : Ridiculous, but true.

• Merklynn : I seek brave knights - men and women of vision. I wish to teach them the ways of magic.

• Merklynn : Congratulations, noble knights. You have survived the final test. You, and you alone, had the vision to reach the shrine. You are the Visionaries. And I deem you worthy now to receive my magic. Magic that will help you and your people prosper in this new age.

• Leoric : Merklynn, what do you want from us in exchange for your magic?

  Merklynn : Occasional... tasks.

  Leoric : What sort of "tasks"?

  Merklynn : You will learn in due time.

• Merklynn : Arzon, when it was necessary to fly, you found wings. For that, you shall receive the totem of the eagle.

  Arzon : [gets it then transforms and flies around singing for a moment before changing back and grinning at Leoric]  I knew this would all be worth it.

• Merklynn : Cravex, for your deed, you shall earn the totem of the only airborne scavenger on Prysmos: the phylot.

• Merklynn : Mortredd, for bootlicking above and beyond the call of duty, I give you the scampering beetle.

  Mortredd : [whipping out his scythe]  I am offended!

  Darkstorm : [as he starts forward]  Stifle thyself.

  Mortredd : [sinking to his knees sobbing them bowing]  Forgive me, master. Forgive me.

  [transforms, chirping and still bowing, causing the other Darkling Lords to laugh] 

• Merklynn : And, Lexor, for turning cowardice into a defensive art, I grant you the totem of the armadillo.

  Lexor : Be assured, it was *not* cowardice!

  Cravex : [striding over]  Silence, before I BASH you!

  Lexor : [retreating]  There's - no need to shout.

  [transforms and runs grunting] 

• Merklynn : Reekon, for your stealth and treachery, you shall bear the totem of the lizard.

• Merklynn : Leoric, for raw courage and leadership, you shall wear the totem of the lion.

  Leoric : [as Galadria reaches for him he transforms, then moves around roaring for a moment causing the others to retreat in awed fear before he changes back breathing heavily]  It's all right. I was merely testing.

• Merklynn : And, Darkstorm, for your incomparable climbing skill, and general... sliminess, you shall receive the totem of the mollusk.

• Merklynn : These animals are the representations of your true inner beings. When you need them most, you will become them. Yet remember: they are like emotions. Powerful, but sometimes uncontrollable.

• Merklynn : Now, dip your staffs into the pool, and you will see a wondrous transformation.

  Mortredd : What about those of us who *have* no staff?

  Merklynn : You will discover in time that you also have great powers.

• Merklynn : Now, if you'll excuse me...

  Darkstorm : Wait! That's it, we just - walk down?

  Merklynn : No, as a matter of fact. I have an exit method that I think you will especially appreciate.

  [creates a whirlpool which washes them out as he laughs] 

• Darkstorm : ALL KNIGHTS PLEDGED TO ME, CEASE FIGHTING! I propose - that all magic shall only be used to preserve peace on Prysmos.

  Ectar : [quietly]  I can't believe I'm hearing this.

  Leoric : Nor can I, but...

  [to Darkstorm so all can hear] 

  Leoric : I second your proposal. May the age of peace last forever!

  Darkstorm , Ectar , Reekon , Feryl , Mortredd , Cryotek , Cindarr , Arzon , Cravex : [with Witterquick, Galadria, Verulina, and Lexor]  FOREVER!
