Host Bafii says:
PROLOGUE:  The main host of the Arondight crew is still at the site of the battle, tending to the wounded and keeping up morale as well as can be expected.  It has been 3 days since the two teams left.  There have been no sightings of any more armies.

Host Bafii says:
PROLOGUE:  The Captain's team has journeyed quickly and are closing in on their destination.  The are in the foothills leading to a large mountain range, and are still below the tree line yet the air has cooled a bit.

Host Bafii says:
PROLOGUE:  The CSO's team hasn't been moving quite as quickly.  The rocky land they were travelling through has given way to pastures and in the distance a forest and beyond that mountains.

Host Bafii says:
PROLOGUE:  Finally, those dead who were taken to Valhalla are enjoying the hospitality of their host, Freyja.  While many of the men spend their days fighting, the women spend their days in a multitude of pursuits.

CTO_Williams says:
@::Wonders what’s wrong with the CSO, mumbling about something:: CSO: What’s wrong sir?

CSO_Taliza says:
@CTO: Oh, you should know.

Host Bafii says:
ACTION:  Two women come running down the hall of Freyja's castle carrying garlands.  They place one on the OPS's head, kiss him on the cheek, before running away giggling.

FCO_Chottu says:
@::smiles, actually enjoying the landscape:: CTO: Are we getting near your symbol yet?

XO_McDuggle says:
Fulla : Fulla: Have you been here long?

CSO_Taliza says:
@CTO: How much longer?

Host Bafii says:
@ ACTION:  The teams sees a hut not far ahead, a stream of smoke winding its way to the sky.

XO_McDuggle says:
::sees the OPS officer and heads that way::

CMO_Madson says:
#CO:  How will we know when to stop?

OPS_Srelak says:
::lifts his hand, and removes the garland, before nodding to Freyja:: Freyja: Ma'am.  'Met' is possibly an inaccurate term;  no exchange took place between us.

CSO_Taliza says:
@CTO/FCO: You see that hut dead ahead?

Freyja says:
<Fulla>XO: Many years I have been privileged to serve my lady Freyja.

FCO_Chottu says:
@CSO: Yeah sure, want me to check it out?

FCO_Chottu says:
@::realizes what he just said::

Host Bafii says:
# ACTION:  The trees get steadily thicker as they follow the path, odd as they are going steadily higher.

CSO_Taliza says:
@FCO: Go ahead.  But we're coming along.

FCO_Chottu says:
@CSO: Or perhaps someone with more tactical qualities should check it out.

Freyja says:
OPS: Ah yes, you do not take pleasure in the joy.

CTO_Williams says:
@CSO: Yes.... I do... ::Wonders how anybody could have NOT seen it, but keeps his mouth shut.  Several days of traveling has worn tempers thin::

XO_McDuggle says:
Fulla: Then you have a good relationship with the Mistress?

FCO_Chottu says:
@CSO: Sure, that works for me.

CO_Loran says:
#::walks along the path, making sure he footing is solid before putting his entire weight down::

Freyja says:
<Fulla>XO: I serve the goddess Freyja with pleasure as you will soon.

CSO_Taliza says:
@CTO: C'mon, Ryan.  ::trod toward the hut::

CTO_Williams says:
@ Team: Here, let me go ahead.  ::Pulls out his dagger, leaving his sword sheathed, and walks ahead of the group::

CMO_Madson says:
#::Looks towards the path:: Self:  It goes on so long...  ::Sighs::

OPS_Srelak says:
::nods:: Freyja: That is correct.  Tell me, if I may ask.  What is our current biological status?

XO_McDuggle says:
Fulla: We will see about that.

CTO_Williams says:
@::Closing within 50 feet of the hut, and motions his group for silence, while Ryan quietly listens, and approaches::

OPS: You have entered the world of the hallowed warrior. Does that not please you?

CSO_Taliza says:
@::stops right behind CTO::

XO_McDuggle says:
::moves up beside Srelak:: OPS: It is good to see you.

OPS_Srelak says:
Freyja: I do not recall the last thing which actively placed me in that frame of mind, if it ever occurred.  

OPS_Srelak says:
::turns, and nods:: XO: Commander.

CTO_Williams says:
@::With his back to the wall, he puts his ear to the wall, and listens for noise::

Host Bafii says:
@ ACTION:  The team moves towards the hut and suddenly they all find they can't move any more forward.  All with the exception of the FCO.

CSO_Taliza says:
@::runs into another force field::

Freyja says:
<Fulla>XO: I shall leave you now. ::nods:: Freyja: M'lady. ::backs away and exits to the adjoining corridor::

FCO_Chottu says:
@::notices he's passing the CTO:: CTO: Well come on..

XO_McDuggle says:
Freyja: Mistress it is good to see you again.

CSO_Taliza says:
@FCO: We can't go on.  Something is preventing our passage.

CTO_Williams says:
@::Whispers:: FCO: I would, but I can't!

FCO_Chottu says:
@::tries not to laugh:: ALL: Shall I check what's inside then?

CSO_Taliza says:
@::nods::

CTO_Williams says:
@FCO: Your game now.  Here, take this.  ::Throws the dagger to the FCO, hilt first::

CMO_Madson says:
#::Feels a little chilled, pulls the fur closer around her neck, then looks up::  CO:  Captain, I smell smoke nearby.  Do you?

Host Bafii says:
@ <Old Lady>  ::emerges from the hut and looks at the flies that she has caught, noticing that one is free::  FCO: You, come here.

CO_Loran says:
#::continues walking up the path, feeling it get colder and the air seems to be getting thinner.

Freyja says:
::smiles:: OPS: It is not unusual for the newly crossed to not remember the time of their passing. You will remember in time.

Host Bafii says:
@ ACTION:  The knife cannot move forward either.

OPS_Srelak says:
::raises an eyebrow::

Freyja says:
::nods to the XO::XO: I trust that Fulla met your needs adequately?

CTO_Williams says:
@FCO/Wade/CSO: This is looking bad.

FCO_Chottu says:
@::shrugs and walks up to the old lady::

CSO_Taliza says:
@CTO: The barriers must prevent those carrying weapons from approaching.  Try dropping your bow.  ::drops his sword and tries to advance::

Host Bafii says:
@ <OL> FCO: Who be you and why be you here?

CO_Loran says:
#::stops and sees if he smells any smoke::

XO_McDuggle says:
Freyja: Quite well thank you. I have a few questions if you please?

CTO_Williams says:
@CSO: I don’t know.... ::Stops, and things hard, but then decides to take the risk.  He drops his dagger, his bow, and his sword to the ground::

CO_Loran says:
#CMO:  Yes, I can smell some smoke now.

OPS_Srelak says:
::considers questions, but waits for McDuggle to speak to Freyja first::

FCO_Chottu says:
@::smiles:: OL: Me be Chottu, who be you then?

Host Bafii says:
@ ACTION: As the team members drop their weapons they are able to pass through the barrier.

CSO_Taliza says:
@::goes through the barrier and approaches FCO and the lady::

Freyja says:
XO: Of course you do my mighty warrior. How may I put your worry to rest?

CMO_Madson says:
#::Looks around to see where it is coming from:: CO:  If it's someone's camp, they could be dangerous.

CTO_Williams says:
@::Whispers:: CSO: I guess this is where weapons of the mind come into play.

CO_Loran says:
#CMO:  It seems to be coming from the direction the path is leading us.

CSO_Taliza says:
@::whispers:: CTO: Yeah, diplomacy.

CTO_Williams says:
@::Follows along behind the rest, the least trusting of them all::

XO_McDuggle says:
Freyja: You say that we are here by decree of Odin?

FCO_Chottu says:
@::points at the CSO:: OL: He's Taliza, he be big man in charge, you best talk to him!

Host Bafii says:
@ <OL>  ::smiles, looking the FCO over as his comrades approach::  FCO: I be she whose home you have invaded.  All:  As you can see, no weapons may be brought into this place.  You look weary, perhaps some rest?

CTO_Williams says:
@::Blushes:: CSO: I was thinking Foot and Fist, but yeah, that too.  ::Grins::

Freyja says:
XO: It is Odin who has placed you in my care.

CSO_Taliza says:
@Old Lady: May the Prophets walk with you, my lady.  I am Cal.  We are on our way on a rescue mission.

XO_McDuggle says:
Freyja: Then I can take it that Odin is all powerful?

Host Bafii says:
@<OL> ::looking over the CSO she notes the sling::  CSO: You are injured.

CO_Loran says:
#::continues walking along the path, not seeing an ending to it::

CSO_Taliza says:
@::points to CTO:: Old Lady: This is Ryan.  We're trying to find a woman named Joanna, who angered Odin by saving his life.  Yes, I am injured.  Broken collar bone.

Freyja says:
XO: Odin is Odin. He who knows all and sees all.

FCO_Chottu says:
@::steps away a bit from the old lady, trying to look inside the hut::

CMO_Madson says:
#CO:  Well, you go first.  I don't think I want to find out who is there.

Host Bafii says:
@ <OL> ::looks over Ryan as he is introduced::  CTO: You as well, a grievous injury.  You must all come inside at once.  ::opens the door to the hut and walks in::

XO_McDuggle says:
Freyja: And then no other gods challenge him?

CMO_Madson says:
#::Moves to walk behind the captain::

CTO_Williams says:
@::Stands behind the rest of them, and wonders what the Lady will do::

CSO_Taliza says:
@Old Lady: The other member of our party is named Wade.  He's a medic.

CTO_Williams says:
@::Shrugs:: Group: You guys first.

CO_Loran says:
#::thinks that he will have to add this kind of simulation to his training programs, oversized beings as well as wilderness survival training and use of archaic weapons::

CSO_Taliza says:
<Wade> @::gives Vulcan greeting salute:: Old Lady: Live long and prosper.

Freyja says:
::looks at OPS then back at McDuggle:: XO: Why would we challenge the giver of enlightenment and joy? Is it not he who has sent you to me?

Host Bafii says:
@ ACTION:  As the group enters the hut, they see it is more spacious than it looks from outside.  It is quite cozy inside, a fire burning in the hearth.  The Lady is digging through a cabinet and there is a table with enough chairs for all.

CO_Loran says:
#::notices that the path comes to a cave and a little smoke trickles out of the entrance::

CSO_Taliza says:
@Old Lady: We've gone more than three days with very little to eat.  If it isn't too much of trouble for you, would you mind sharing some of your provisions?

XO_McDuggle says:
Freyja: If no other gods challenge him. Then why is he afraid of Loki?

FCO_Chottu says:
@::quickly picks up a chair and puts it near the fire:: Self: Awesome!

CO_Loran says:
#CMO:  There is a cave ahead, and I think the source of the smoke.

CTO_Williams says:
@::Although not very trusting, IS very tired, and despite it all, sits down on the ground, a spot covered in thick furs::

OPS_Srelak says:
::mentally filing the conversation he's listening to::

Freyja says:
::waves her hands for her musicians to play:: XO: Odin fears no one!

CTO_Williams says:
@::Lays back comfortably, against a wall, to the side of the fire::

CMO_Madson says:
#::Nods her head after she looks up...almost too exhausted to care::  CO:  Are you thinking about checking it out?

XO_McDuggle says:
Freyja: If Odin fears no one then why are we here?

Freyja says:
XO: Are you not great warriors that passed over in a great battle?

Host Bafii says:
@ <OL> ::turns around, a jar in her hand::  CSO:  There is a stew on the fire that I will be happy to share, and some bread I baked yesterday.  Please, sit and I will get it.

CSO_Taliza says:
@::has a seat:: Old Lady: Much obliged, madam.  Oh, by the way, what is your name?

CO_Loran says:
#CMO:  Might as well check it out.  That seems to be the place we need to go.

Freyja says:
OPS: Why are you silent? Would you like Fulla to attend you again?

XO_McDuggle says:
Freyja: I am. But aren't we here to fight against Loki and his giants on the day of Ragnarok?

CTO_Williams says:
@::Continues to lay back, with one eye open, keeping a watch::

Host Bafii says:
@ <OL>  All:  My son Leminkainen was to return today, but he sent me word that it will be some time yet before he returns.   CSO:  Oh, all around here call me mother.  ::gets the food and sets it before them all, more than they could hope to feast on::

CMO_Madson says:
#CO:  You and the guards go on then.  I would be in the way if it gets ugly.

FCO_Chottu says:
@::looks at the fire, then at the book:: Book: Nah, no worries. ::smiles::

OPS_Srelak says:
Freyja: I am observing, ma'am.  I am currently satisfied, thank-you for your attention.

Freyja says:
XO: Only Odin knows why you are here, and I but serve M'lord Odin and you will serve me.

CSO_Taliza says:
@Old Lady: Please, ma'am, I don't feel comfortable calling someone who isn't my mother "mother."  What is your name otherwise?

Freyja says:
OPS: There is food over there. ::motions to the table:: Please eat of the bounty of my palace.

CO_Loran says:
#CMO:  I'm not going to leave you alone, Doctor.  I would prefer you to be close to the rest of the group for safety.

XO_McDuggle says:
Freyja: And why do you serve Odin with out knowing what he wants of you?

Host Bafii says:
@ <OL> CSO: It has been so long since I used any other name.  ::Looks as if trying to remember back some time::  No, I can't recall.  ::smiles and walks over to the CTO::

CTO_Williams says:
@::Gets up, and grabs a rough, hardy biscuit, and puts some strange butter-like condiment on it, and sits back into his spot, and east his bread slowly::

OPS_Srelak says:
Freyja: I prefer to listen, with all due respect.

CMO_Madson says:
#::Her fears start to rise, but she will do as she is ordered:: CO:  Yes sir.

CSO_Taliza says:
@::nods in acknowledgement, then digs in::

CTO_Williams says:
@::Wary:: OL: What are you doing?

Freyja says:
::motions to McDuggle to sit:: XO: Did you not follow the orders of your superior without question?

CO_Loran says:
#::moves into the cave with the security team near him with the CMO behind them::

Host Bafii says:
@ <OL> ::offers the CTO the jar with a spoon::  CTO:  The jar contains honey, please have a spoon.  It will help with your pain.

Freyja says:
OPS: As you wish.

FCO_Chottu says:
@::looks at the book again:: Book: What do you think about this place. ::opens the book on a random page::

CSO_Taliza says:
@Old Lady: Are you knowledgeable of ol... er medicines?

XO_McDuggle says:
::sits:: Freyja: Yes but I know why I am following those order as we are kept informed as to what is going on.

CTO_Williams says:
@::Holds the Jar:: OL: The pain isn't that... bad.

CMO_Madson says:
#::Feels very wary, not sure this is a good idea::

Host Bafii says:
# ACTION:  The CO and CMO move through the cave and the light of a fire growing steadily, as they turn a corner they find the source with a Valkyries standing on either side of the fire.

Freyja says:
XO: Odin will tell the others when the time is upon us.

CSO_Taliza says:
@FCO: Patton, what are you talking to?

OPS_Srelak says:
Freyja: Has anyone ever left this location?

Host Bafii says:
@ <OL>  ::turns to the CSO::  CSO: I have some skills as a healer, yes.  I am mainly known for my charms though.

XO_McDuggle says:
Freyja: And you do not question this?

CO_Loran says:
#::motions for everybody to stop as he signals in hand motions to the security guards::

FCO_Chottu says:
@::turns his head:: CSO: Oh, no one, enjoying the fire. ::smiles::

CMO_Madson says:
#::Sees one of the same armored women who took Scott::

Freyja says:
OPS: Left? Why would anyone want to leave this place? It is the greatest of honors to be summoned to Valhalla.

Host Bafii says:
# <Val1>  CO: You come here seeking the path?

CTO_Williams says:
@::Utters "charms" under his breath, and decides against the honey for now, and puts it to his side, but continues to nimble the fresh bun::

CO_Loran says:
#Val1:  Yes, we come here seeking the path.

CMO_Madson says:
#::Wants desperately to go to the woman and ask if she knows where her son is::

FCO_Chottu says:
@::quickly turns his head to the Old Lady:: OL: Ooh, do you have anything against an itchy tail?

CSO_Taliza says:
@FCO: When we ever get back to the ship, I'm going to have you looked over by Dr. Madson.  Old Lady: What do you have that can help speed healing of a broken collar bone?  I've been in this sling since the battle three days ago.

XO_McDuggle says:
Freyja: If you are not worried about anyone leaving then why did you have Hildesvini following me before?

Host Bafii says:
@ <OL>  ::seeing the CTO set aside the jar, she frowns, picks it up and takes it to the CSO::  CSO:  Here.

Freyja says:
XO: You worry too much. This is my place, as it is now yours. I do not question.

CSO_Taliza says:
@Old Lady: Honey?

Host Bafii says:
# <Val2> CO: You are known to be a worthy warrior, but Odin has not called for you.  Why do you wish to find the path?

CTO_Williams says:
@::Turns to the Old Lady:: OL: I'm sorry, I'm just naturally cautious... I'm sure you would understand my position.

OPS_Srelak says:
::does not understand the logic of perpetual combat without a clearly definable purpose - for example, departure::

XO_McDuggle says:
Freyja: I think you do question only you will not admit it.

Host Bafii says:
@ <OL> CSO: Yes, it is from beyond the highest heaves, it brings with it life and health.

CMO_Madson says:
#::Looks at the captain, wondering what they are talking about::

CO_Loran says:
#Val2:  I have been called.  You must not have gotten the message.

FCO_Chottu says:
@CSO: When we get back to the ship, we're supposed to be dead. How does that make you feel though, no prophets here

Freyja says:
::smiles:: XO: Ah yes, my faithful Hildesvini. He was but to aid you should you find yourself lost or not knowing.

CSO_Taliza says:
@Old Lady: What do I do, ingest it or rub it on my shoulder?

Host Bafii says:
# <Val1>  CO: This may be true, but the call did not come from Odin.  

Host Bafii says:
@ <OL> CSO: Just eat a spoonful and soon you will be whole again.

XO_McDuggle says:
Freyja: Why should I get lost here?

CSO_Taliza says:
@::takes a spoon, then scoops some honey into it:: Self: Well, as they say on Earth, "Down the hatch."  ::takes the honey into his mouth and swallows::

CMO_Madson says:
#::Waits for the woman's response, hoping she will take them to her son and the rest who died::

Freyja says:
XO: Many before you have not accepted the gift of Odin and have lost their way by painful paths.

CO_Loran says:
#Val1:  Then it must have been the person that calls himself Loki.  One of my officers had a book with a map of the area down below.  On the map was two marks, the one that marked this location called me, so, I followed it here, so, I was called to this place.

Host Bafii says:
# ACTION: The two Valkyries look at each other for a moment.

CSO_Taliza says:
@::does a weird face:: Old Lady: Are you sure this is honey?  It tastes like vinegar.

XO_McDuggle says:
Freyja: As I am a great warrior should I not fear any thing here

FCO_Chottu says:
@::turns back to the fire:: Self: Perhaps the CSO should be checked out by Dr. Madson, his ears seem as good as those of the old lady.

OPS_Srelak says:
::raises that perpetual eyebrow:: Freyja: Then people have left?

CTO_Williams says:
@::Notices Cal's reactions, and wakens up, waiting for something bad to happen::

Host Bafii says:
# <Val2> CO: This would not be allowed, but there is truth in your words.  Answer our three questions and the path shall be open to you.  Fail, and you shall not leave this cave.

CTO_Williams says:
@CSO: Are you alright?

Host Bafii says:
@ ACTION:  The CSO feels no different.

CSO_Taliza says:
@CTO: Just got a weird taste in my mouth.  ::tests arm::

CO_Loran says:
#Val2:  Then begin.

Host Bafii says:
@ <OL> ::takes the jar and brings it back to the CTO with a smile::  FCO: Is there anything you need?

CMO_Madson says:
#::Catches her breath::  Self:  This is not fair.  I am sick of playing these little games with these people while they play with our lives.

CTO_Williams says:
@OL: Thank you.  CSO: I need your word... how are you?

Freyja says:
XO/OPS: You do not understand. Even here the great Odin can exact his revenge on those who would choose the wrong path to follow. The alternative to Valhalla is not to be spoken of.

CSO_Taliza says:
@Self: OW!  Old Lady: That stuff's snake oil!  A fraud!

FCO_Chottu says:
@::turns his head towards the Old Lady:: OL: I doubt you're used to treating itchy tails, so no..

Host Bafii says:
# <Val1>  ::recites::  CO: My life can be measured in hours, I serve by being devoured.   Thin, I am quick, Fat, I am slow, Wind is my foe. 

CSO_Taliza says:
@CTO: Ryan, don't take that stuff.  My arm's still sore.

CTO_Williams says:
@::Jumps up, as best as he can, and takes a defensive position:: CSO: What?  What’s wrong?  ::Stands beside Cal::

Freyja says:
::fluffs her golden robes and smoothes them:: XO: You do not wish to remain here with me?

Host Bafii says:
@ <OL> ::winks at the FCO and move to the cupboard::  CSO: Healing is not an instantly art, my thou art hasty.  You will be fine after some rest.

FCO_Chottu says:
@CSO: You expected to be magically healed? And I need a visit with Dr. Madson? ::grabs the book and walks to the cupboard as well::

CTO_Williams says:
@ ::Whispers to the CSO:: CSO: This is too strange... a tricorder would be oh so useful right now.

Host Bafii says:
@ <OL> ::pulls out a powder and before the FCO can say a thing, she has sprinkled it on his tail.  The itching stops immediately::

CSO_Taliza says:
@CTO: ::whispers:: Ryan, if my arm isn't well by morning as she claims, we will take her with us and you can dispose of her later.

FCO_Chottu says:
@::frowns:: OL: Woah, can I take some of that stuff home with my?

XO_McDuggle says:
Freyja: Right now this is where I want to be. It is only that I like to know exactly what I am here for?

CSO_Taliza says:
@CTO: ::whispers:: And if I'm dead due to that stuff, you can kill her wherever she is.

Freyja says:
XO: Eternity, that is your destiny.

CTO_Williams says:
@::Whispers:: CTO: I tempted to take the stuff besides... If your healed, and I'm not, that will dampen us a lot, with our travelling... I'm not sure if I want to kill an old lady either.... doesn't seem moral.

Host Bafii says:
@ <OL>  FCO:  Of course, it is simply a dried mushroom that grows in the forest near here.  ::gives him the pouch of powder::

XO_McDuggle says:
Freyja: I would still like to know what Odin has planned.

Freyja says:
::shakes her head sorrowfully: :XO: I fear that you are not to choose the right path.

FCO_Chottu says:
@::bitterly smiles:: OL: thanks ma'am. ::quickly walks up to the CSO and CTO::

OPS_Srelak says:
XO: Commander, if we are indeed to be here for 'eternity', it would appear that we have a great deal of time to do whatever this woman would have us.  In the meantime, permission to begin scouting for an exit?

CTO_Williams says:
@CSO: I wonder what Wade and his "Logic" has to think of this?

FCO_Chottu says:
@::whispers:: CSO: You guys are talking about 'disposing' an old lady here.

XO_McDuggle says:
Freyja: If I am to fight for Odin then I would like to know why ? OPS: granted

CSO_Taliza says:
@FCO: I'm not quite trustful of that woman.  She may had me take a slow poison for all we know.

CTO_Williams says:
@::Whispers:: FCO: No... not yet... anyway, it's not nice to whisper in front of our host... play the game, see what happens.

OPS_Srelak says:
::nods, turns, and begins looking around the hall::

Freyja says:
::watches Srelak leave:: XO: Why do you fight for Odin?

XO_McDuggle says:
Freyja:   Is that not why we are here?

Host Bafii says:
@ <OL>  ::laughs out loud::  All:  I may look old, but my ears hear quite a lot.  If I had wanted you dead do you think you would have made it past my doorway.

CO_Loran says:
#Val1:  A Candle.

CTO_Williams says:
@::Takes his seat beside the fire ::  OL: Maybe... And how would you have done that?

FCO_Chottu says:
@CSO/CTO: That's another thing, you guys need to whisper softer.

Host Bafii says:
# <Val1>  ::nods and backs away as the other speaks::

Freyja says:
XO: Would you fight for Odin?

Host Bafii says:
# <Val2>  All:  They call me a man, but I'll never have a wife. I was given a body, but not given life. They made me a mouth, but didn't give me breath. Water gives me life and sun brings me death. 

OPS_Srelak says:
::moves into the corridor Fulla went down, and starts looking around that::

XO_McDuggle says:
Freyja: If necessary.

CSO_Taliza says:
@Old Lady: Please accept my apology.  The way you presented that remedy, it sounded like I'd take it and "poof" I'm cured.

Freyja says:
XO: Ah, then you shall choose the right path after all.

FCO_Chottu says:
@::smirks::

Host Bafii says:
@ <OL> ::laughs::  CTO: Young man, you need to learn to trust.    CSO:  You don't know much of the ways of healing.

XO_McDuggle says:
Freyja: Then we are not here for eternity?

CSO_Taliza says:
@Old Lady: Madam, in my time, there are machines that work with the body to speed healing.  I thought your remedies would do the same.

Freyja says:
XO: You are here. That is all there is.

Host Bafii says:
@ <OL> CSO:  Your time?  You must be weary.  I can see the sun is going down and my old bones are tired.  You may all rest here tonight in safety.  Sleep well.  ::exits to her room::

XO_McDuggle says:
Freyja: Yes for now but on the Day of Ragnarok we will march out to fight Loki.

CSO_Taliza says:
@ Old Lady: Before you go, if this is what I think it is, we're from your future.

CTO_Williams says:
@::Continues to hold the Jar:: CSO: The temptation... its big... ::Shrugs::

Freyja says:
XO: Perhaps, but for now you are to stay here and pleasure me. ::calls for Fulla::

CSO_Taliza says:
@CTO: Well, go ahead and take it.  If we're both dead by morning, then we'll be in Valhalla with the others.

XO_McDuggle says:
Freyja: And what happened to the warrior you was with last night?

Freyja says:
<Fulla>:: enters the hall and bows:: Freyja: M'lady.

CTO_Williams says:
@::Chuckles:: CSO: Good... I hear Valhalla has some pretty good looking girls....

CSO_Taliza says:
@CTO: Yeah, but none of them are Shehanna.

CTO_Williams says:
@::Takes a spoonful and shoves it down his throat, and swallows, as fast as he can, to avoid tasting it.::

FCO_Chottu says:
@CTO: You're looking for a replacement for the one you lost?

Freyja says:
::smiles ::  XO: He rests now. I am greatly pleased with the one you call Madson.

CSO_Taliza says:
@CTO: And what about Joanna?  If she's not where were going, she may be at Valhalla.

OPS_Srelak says:
::effectively wandering the halls, looking for something, anything, that could be an exit.::

Freyja says:
::turns to Fulla:: Fulla: This one is for me tonight. Prepare him.

XO_McDuggle says:
Freyja: I am sorry but I am not a man that will move in on another man lady.

CTO_Williams says:
@::Smiles:: CSO: Joke... I don't know... hopefully we'll wake up feeling better.

Freyja says:
<Fulla>: Freyja: I obey M’lady. XO: Come with me now.

CMO_Madson says:
#Val2:  A snowman!

Freyja says:
XO: You will do as I command. Go with Fulla and be made ready.

Host Bafii says:
#<Val2>  ::bows and steps aside then both recite the last riddle::

CSO_Taliza says:
@FCO/CTO/Wade: We'd best get some shuteye.  Night guys.  ::lies on rug and attempts to sleep::

XO_McDuggle says:
Freyja: And if I refuse?

CTO_Williams says:
@ Group: Yep, night.

Freyja says:
XO: You would refuse me, the goddess Freyja?

Host Bafii says:
# <Valkyries>  At night they come without being fetched,  And by day they are lost without being stolen.
