Outside the Inn

**Lambic walks out the back door of the Inn. He passes the guards on duty and kneels down in the new rock garden. There is a fowl smell permeating his clothes. Quietly he begins picking up the pieces of rock and stacking them. It is difficult to tell what exactly he is doing from a distance.**

*Ug follows Lambic out the back of the Inn and watches Lambic while impatiently tapping his toe on the ground. He looks around and then back to Lambic.*

Me gunna go git de Talanuh an see if'n she kan help ewe Lamb-Bake. Me be back, ewe no go enniewere.

*Ug heads off in search of Talana.*

*Olan passes Ug as the orc walks away. Seeing Lambic kneeling amid the stones, he approaches.*

Hello, Lambic. How....er, what are you doing?

*Kneeling, he picks up a stone that looks suspiciously like a nose.*

That's just creepy.

*Talana walks out of the Inn with Ug, looking slightly confused and bewildered as Ug speaks quickly in his usual impediment*

"You want me to what...?"

*Her voice is a mix between incredulous and intrigued as she asks several other questions to try to understand the situation while they head in Lambic's direction. When they get there, she looks down to Lambic and waits for further explanation and instruction.*

**As first Olan and then Talana and Ug approach Lambic they overhear him muttering to himself**

Honor over deceit.

**Anyone who continues to listen will hear him continue.**
Excellence over mediocrity.
Courage over cowardice.
Courtesy over incivility.
Wisdom over ignorance.
Loyalty over betrayal.
Purity over corruption.
Justice over inequity.
Strength over weakness.
Temperance over excess.
Fortitude over failure.
Duty over disregard.
Humility over arrogance.
Compassion over callousness.
Righteousnes over evil.
Sacrifice over self-interest.

*He does not seem to pay attention, almost not to notice their approach. After he finishes this mantra, He looks up.**

I am piecing Alexander back together. Ug has proven to me that my judegement was wrong in this and has told me that he can bring Alexander back, if Alexander is so willing. I will make this right.

**As Talana, Olan and Ug look over Lambic's shoulder they see what appears to be a foot begin to take shape. As he finshes speaking Lambic's head falls again to the pieces and he his voice begins to drone, quietly**

Honor over deceit.
Excellence over mediocrity.....

*Ian walks out of the Inn, sees the group and wanders over*

"What happened here?? Was that one of the people turned to stone? I thought we saved them all?"

Sorry Ug, i have not seen him in sometime.. he is probably wrapped up in Dukely things. Could you tell me what happened here?

Post by Ug » Mon Oct 03, 2005 3:15 pm

Ug let Lamb Bake splain.

*Ug begins tapping his foot. When he realizes he is tapping his foot on a stone foot, he backs up and begins tapping it on a stump.*

*Talana looks to Lambic uncertainly at first, then takes a small breath so as to lower her voice and speak very gently to Lambic*

Lambic... *she says almost as a question more than a statement, as if to get his attention* Would you like some assistance from any of us? I can offer my handiwork to your cause... *she trails off quietly and waits patiently for him to respond, trying not to interrupt his rhythm or focus*

**Lambic continues puzzling out the ankle as he continues saying the words**

Purity over corruption.
Justice over inequity.
Strength over weakness.
Temperance over excess.
Fortitude over failure.
Duty over disregard.
Humility over arrogance.
Compassion over callousness.
Righteousnes over evil.
Sacrifice over self-interest.

I am attempting to make amends Ian. Undo my wrong.

Well then, please allow me to help.. you speak the words of wisdom from our lands, and afterwards, perhaps we can talk about what transpired..

*bends down and begins to help Lambic*

*Talana hesitates watching the two, uncertain if she should intrude by insisting on her help. She looks to Ug to see if this is what he was trying to explain or if he has advice to offer.*

I am in no position to turn away anyone who would help me undo this in a more timely manner. It would be yet another mark between Alexander and I if I let my pride get in the way. As is to say I would except any help offer in this as graciously as my own essence will allow.

Ian, what lays before me are the pieces of Alexander's body, turn to stone, and shattered at my order. I am attempting to reassemble him.
