Mastery

[Cordir]

In the most ancient of days, when the world was young,
One named Thaygar, a flame-handed Giant, won Immortal
rank. To him was granted the Glory of knowledge of an
ancient truth: the Triat. 

Within the Lore of the Triat, there exist challenges,
designed to test the Initiate upon the anvil of life,
blood and spirit:  These ritae are known as Trials of 
Triat Mastery. Few have dared to undergo such torment
as the Trials bring - their names are legend.

One has stepped forward who seeks to forge themselves
anew. The Triat has heard. The Triat will answer. 

Initiate, prepare yourself, for the Trial comes soon.

One has stepped forward who seeks to forge themselves
anew. The Triat has heard. The Triat has answered.

The individual known as Corri has received, indicated 
she understood, and accepted various Trials on behalf 
of each Aspect. 'Initiate' she has named herself. The 
Trial has begun.  

Hunt well, little one, for the Three are watching.

Here's the scene that occurred as Corri learned of her Mastery Quest:

The Lower Hall
[Exits: east south west]
This hallway must have been built by giants! It is huge! Then
again, there are more than a few giants that belong to The Guild, so
it may just be so. There are doors to your left, and right leading to
other places in the guild designed to serve the needs of all
adventurers.
(Dark Blue Aura) Mistyfier is here.
Corri is here.
(White Aura) Rebecca the Bold wants to make the world a better place.

Szordryn laughs at Mistyfier mercilessly.

Corri grins wickedly.

Mistyfier nods at himself; he must be getting senile.

An unusual aura flows around Corri.

Corri says (in common), 'mute!'.

Mistyfier says (in common), 'nice!'.

Corri says (in common), 'lots of words'.

Corri wirnkles her nose at the scroll, peering around her curiously.

Corri gives the hard scroll to Mistyfier.

Mistyfier says (in common), 'you didn't mark it!'.
Mistyfier says (in common), 'what level?'.

Corri blushes.
Corri says (in common), '25'.

Shadows flow into the room from every corner.

Mistyfier says (in common), 'o man'.

Mistyfier gives a pair of banded mail sleeves to Corri.

Szordryn snickers softly.

Mistyfier puts the hard scroll in a ball of mastodon dung.

Szordryn stands up.
Szordryn utters the words, 'detect disease'.

Rebecca shivers, looking not so bold after all.

### [Mistyfier tells Corri (in common), 'you seem to have something happening to you :P']

Szordryn nods in recognition to Rebecca the Bold.
Rebecca the Bold looks around, startled.

Szordryn makes Rebecca the bold say '..'.

Mistyfier says (in common), '.'.

Corri utters the words, 'improved identify'.

Corri blinks.

Szordryn says (in common), '....'.

Szordryn nudges Corri impatiently.

Corri gives a pair of banded mail sleeves to Mistyfier.

Mistyfier drops a pair of banded mail sleeves.
Mistyfier sacrifices a pair of banded mail sleeves to Cytoxan.

Corri says (in common), '..m?'.

### [Corri tells Szordryn (in common), 'you nudged ! grins']


Corri reads note 22

In the most ancient of days, when the world was young,
One named Thaygar, a flame-handed Giant, won Immortal
rank. To him was granted the Glory of knowledge of an
ancient truth: the Triat.

Within the Lore of the Triat, there exist challenges,
designed to test the Initiate upon the anvil of life,
blood and spirit: These ritae are known as Trials of
Triat Mastery. Few have dared to undergo such torment
as the Trials bring - their names are legend.

One has stepped forward who seeks to forge themselves
anew. The Triat has heard. The Triat will answer.

Initiate, prepare yourself, for the Trial comes soon.


Szordryn utters the words, 'strength'.
Szordryn nudges Corri impatiently.

Mistyfier gives the vivid marble amulet to Corri.
Mistyfier utters the words, 'true seeing'.

Corri utters the words, 'improved identify'.

Mistyfier rests.

Mistyfier is so excited that he cheers just for the hell of it.

The shadows seem to coalesce around Corri.

Mistyfier blinks.

The shadows seem somehow, horribly, disturbingly.. alive.

Mistyfier says (in common), 'I think we'll wait '.

Corri runs her hand across a shadow, curiously.

The shadow is cold to the touch: deathly cold.

Corri yanks her hand back with a *yawrl*, and frowns.

The Shadows whisper, 'The Triat has heard.'
The Shadows whisper, 'The Triat will answer.'
The Shadows whisper, 'Prepare, Initiate.'

Mistyfier grins happily at Corri.

Szordryn sits down and thinks deeply.

Corri'o's, with a startled long blink.

Corri's smile gradually curls upward.

Corri says (in common), 'Oo, questing.'.

Corri shifts slightly from foot to foot then.

Corri draws a funny looking rune in the air.

Corri tells Szordryn (in common), '... when i was fates harbinger, the sign of hte end - .. i reached level 50. Before its end.'.
Corri tells Szordryn (in common), 'thus qualified me for a triat mastery quest'.
Corri tells Szordryn (in common), '...cirth said he was proud *grins quietly*'.

Szordryn tells Corri (in common), 'triat mastery quest eh'.
Szordryn tells Corri (in common), 'what do u get for it?'.

Corri tells Szordryn (in common), 'entertainment, unknown reward.'.
Corri tells Szordryn (in common), 'or if you ask corri isntead of her player...'.

The Shadows whisper, 'There is no prize, save the journey itself.'

Szordryn snickers softly.

Corri tells Szordryn (in common), '*tilts her head curiously* ... I hadn't really thought about it'.

Szordryn giggles.
Szordryn says (in common), 'my reward is sleep'.

The Shadows swirl, and the image of a battle-scarred man appears.
He puts his hands to his hips, and regards Corri.
The Stormreaver speaks, saying, "I have but one piece of advice. Prepare."

Corri sizes up the apparition.

The shadows swirl up once more, and the vision of this individual is swept away.

Corri chews absently at her lip, distracted.
The Shadows swirl up a third and last time, forming the shape of a spider.

The spider says (in old-common), 'Let the time and place of the ritae be named by the Initiate. Send word. The Three will come.'

The shadows rush outward, and disappear once more.

(End scene.)
