This pesterlog entails a diabolical plot between Isaard and Kyanas to form an alliance against Lerena. Also, they talk about hives and specibi and such things.

[10:18] ET: Hell(..)
[10:18] ET: H(..)w are y(..)u?
[10:19] SS: Hello.
[10:19] ET: I th(..)ught I'd check (..)n the rest (..)f the players.
[10:20] ET: Stebia is n(..)t awake yet.
[10:20] SS: It would probablyy be best.
[10:20] SS: I wouldn't expect anyyone much to be at this time of dayy
[10:20] ET: Y(..)u mean night?
[10:21] SS: dayy, night, time-of-being-awake, saame difference
[10:21] ET: True en(..)ugh.
[10:21] SS: And technicallyy, it is still dayy a little bit where I am.
[10:21] SS: Just barelyy though.
[10:22] ET: F(..)rgive me, bur I d(..) n(..)t kn(..)w all that much ab(..)ut this game we are t(..) be playing.
[10:23] ET: C(..)uld y(..)u fill in the details?
[10:23] SS: Neither do I. I was about to ask yyou if yyou knew anyything, actuallyy.
[10:23] SS: All i know is it is a bit like FLARP.
[10:23] ET: Great...
[10:24] ET: Just what I needed.
[10:24] SS: I think Stebia knows a bit, and Lerena is suupposed to tell everyyone.
[10:24] SS: I am a bit fuzzyy on the details
[10:25] ET: H(..)w were y(..)u inv(..)lved in this fiasc(..) if I may ask?
[10:26] SS: Stebia made me promise to playy with her. She seemed to think I would be good at it.
[10:27] ET: Ugh, she seems t(..) be g(..)(..)d at talking pe(..)ple int(..) d(..)ing redicul(..)us things.
[10:27] SS: It's the optimism. It gets into yyou and turns yyour our will against yyou.
[10:28] ET: Again if I may ask, what skills exactly d(..) y(..)u bring t(..) the metaph(..)rical table?
[10:29] SS: I am good at killings things without leaving much blood.
[10:29] SS: Also, I can help with troop allocation.
[10:30] ET: Tr(..)(..)p all(..)cati(..)n?
[10:30] SS: Strategyy and suuch things. Who fights who where, and whose fighting styyles would be most suuitable to defeat an opponent.
[10:32] ET: (..)dd.
[10:32] SS: How so?
[10:34] ET: I haven't met a tr(..)ll wh(..) uses a stratgy (..)utside (..)f "smash the first thing y(..)u see."
[10:34] ET: Then again I haven't met many tr(..)lls
[10:35] SS: As I understand, the 'bash' mentalityy is depressiinglyy common. It is also fooldhardyy. It is best to observe yyour opponent before theyy strike.
[10:36] SS: And neither have I, at least in person.
[10:40] SS: In that vein, what do yyou prefer as yyour strife specibus?
[10:41] ET: I d(..)n't really have much use f(..)r the specibus.
[10:41] SS: What? How do yyou fight?
[10:41] ET: .....
[10:41] SS: >.>
[10:42] ET: I use a dagger.
[10:42] SS: YYou just saaid yyou had little use for the specibus.
[10:42] SS: Whyy renege?
[10:43] ET: I d(..)n't see al(..)t (..)f c(..)mbat is all.
[10:44] SS: Are yyou one of those trolls who lives somewhere reallyy remote and doesn't have to fight things off to get meat?
[10:44] ET: Yes.
[10:44] SS: Hmm.
[10:44] ET: F(..)(..)d is generally n(..)t a pr(..)blem.
[10:45] SS: I make a majorityy of myy own food. And thankfullyy I don't have to feed myy lusuus, which is a blessiing
[10:45] ET: Yes, my Lusus is fairly l(..)w matinence as well.
[10:46] ET: What kind (..)f lusus d(..) y(..)u p(..)sess?
[10:46] SS: I hear Aruale has to fish for her lusuus. I would think the thing could feed itself, but apparentlyy not.
[10:46] SS: Myy lusuus is a nutbeast, and myy hive is in a tree.
[10:47] ET: A respectable l(..)cale t(..) be sure.
[10:48] SS: It is not a veryy nice tree.
[10:48] SS: It is rather short and has too manyy branches to form a respctable hive on.
[10:49] ET: Why did y(..)u ch(..)(..)se it then?
[10:49] SS: It had rather less branches at the time, and it was the saame height as the other trees.
[10:50] ET: Y(..)ur hive stunted its gr(..)wth m(..)st likely.
[10:50] SS: Probablyy.
[10:51] SS: Where is yyour hive?
[10:51] ET: (..)n a m(..)untain.
[10:51] SS: That sounds kind of cold.
[10:52] ET: It d(..)sn't b(..)ther me s(..) much anym(..)re.
[10:53] SS: I suuppose it wouldn't, yyou've lived there basiicallyy yyour entire life.
[10:53] ET: If I c(..)uld p(..)se a questi(..)n t(..) y(..)u, what d(..) y(..)u kn(..)w (..)f the r(..)yal?
[10:53] ET: The (..)ne wh(..) is running (..)ur "game"
[10:54] SS: Veryy little. I have talked to her a few times, but onlyy in conjunction with Aruale. I believe she tyypes with lots of Zs and uses lightning in her specibus.
[10:55] ET: T(..) be blunt, I d(..)n't trust her.
[10:56] ET: In fact this wh(..)le set up is suspisi(..)us.
[10:56] SS: I don't know her well enough to pass an opinion. Aruale is friends with her, and I trust Aruale.
[10:57] SS: And yyes, keeping us in the dark about the nature of the game right up until playying it seems suuspicious
[10:57] ET: I suspect s(..)me kind (..)f d(..)uble cr(..)ss.
[10:58] SS: I don't know. What other siide could she be working for?
[10:58] ET: With seadwellers, it c(..)uld be anything.
[10:59] ET: Mass culling perhaps?
[10:59] SS: Mass? hardlyy.
[10:59] SS: Selective I could believe.
[10:59] ET: I dislike the situati(..)n all the same.
[11:00] SS: As do I, but I cannot change the siituation.
[11:00] ET: And just wh(..) is this mystery player?
[11:01] SS: Who, again? I thought it was just us.
[11:02] ET: Stebia menti(..)ned him last m(..)rning.
[11:02] SS: I have no knowledge or another playyer.
[11:03] ET: This is pr(..)blematic in the extreme.
[11:03] ET: I suggest an alliance.
[11:04] SS: Who would we allyy against?
[11:05] ET: If the r(..)yal tries s(..)mething, (..)r this new player is s(..)me f(..)rm beast ment t(..) be (..)ur demise, then we sh(..)uld have s(..)mething planned.
[11:06] SS: I agree.
[11:07] ET: Stebia is far t(..)(..) trusting, s(..) please d(..)n't bring this up t(..) her.
[11:07] ET: She might say s(..)mething t(..) the (..)thers.
[11:07] SS: As well she might. Her optimism can blind her.
[11:08] ET: Anyway, I must c(..)ntinue preparing, watch y(..)ur back.
[11:09] SS: I will do that. YYou do as well, even though yyou live in a remote mountain hive.
[11:09] SS: I must go weed myy grain field in anyy case.
[11:09] SS: Goodbyye.
[11:09] ET: Farewell
