mound upon which the temple is built and ends on the temple square below.

The Riverhold Town Hall and School
[Exits: north south]
A single large, drafty room, this building acts as both the school
and the town hall for meetings. Rough-hewn wooden benches, tables
and desks are scattered about the room, ready to be moved into the
needed configuration depending on the purpose the chamber is being
used for at the time. A thin slab of slate has been affixed to the
west wall for use as a makeshift chalk board. The floor is made of
wood planks, darkly stained in spots, with many warped by time and
the elements to show the ground underneath. Southward, an archway
has been built into and through the wall. Its framework appears to
be that of a damaged boat, repurposed as a portal that allows exit
to the safety of the Guild Hall.
A tiny squeaking brown mouse was last here, traveling north.
Samiyah is here.
Singing under her breath, Elvalee prepares the next lesson.
l Samiyah peek
Her dark brown gaze resolute, if a touch weary, Samiyah stands before you. Lines
of sorrow and pain mar her young face, and shadows create dark crescents beneath
her eyes, one of which is marred by the faintest gloss of red. Still, despite it
all, her expression is one of deliberate hopefulness and a firm determination to
see her task through. Her chin is lifted and her shoulders are squared not bowed
in defeat as she faces her fears resolutely, naming them as equals, not victors.
Only the slight movement of her right hand, as if battling the need to seek out
the unholy contents of the container by her side reveals how great the challenge
truly is. She closes her eyes, a calming breath is taken, and she wills her hand
to halt its trembling. Regaining her composure and focus, she tilts her head to
one side, and listens for those in her charge, a responsibility given that draws
her out of her own thoughts and back, willing or not, to Seraph's heel. One of
truly few joys within the Order, mentoring them is her focus, second only to the
task to defeat that which she must: opposed to the last drop of blood and final
breath. A slight movement of her left hand, thumb finding and pressing against
a silver band, gives her a brief respite of comfort, reminded of the bonds made
with those she loves and cares for. Granted the gift of friendship from villains
and heroes alike, Samiyah walks a strange road for one of her aura -- her life a
seemingly discordant composition of opposing songs and singers, that somehow, no
matter the crescendos, is the music that defines her soul.
Samiyah has a special twinkle in her eye.
Samiyah is in perfect health.
Samiyah is using:
<used as light> (Powerful magic) (Glowing) a golden orb
<worn on finger> (Artifact magic) an intricately braided band of silver
<worn on finger> (Potent magic) the plain pyrite ring

(Moderate magic) a small wooden shield

Alfonse ftells, '*Sniffs in Hovelton, no scent*'.
Samiyah looks at you, her eyes not focusing, one glazed with crimson.
Belsambar walks up to you.
You say (in common), 'what is going on, Songbird?'.
Samiyah blinks at the sound of your voice, her head moving slowly in your direction, as if someone in a lucid dream.
Samiyah says hesitantly, her voice soft, 'Archmage?'
Belsambar mutters something about 'nightmares again, Songbird?'
Samiyah asks in a whisper, 'Oh. Am I dreaming again?'
Belsambar's hands shimmer softly in the shadows.
Belsambar murmurs, 'Yes, Songbird...put it away...'
Samiyah blinks, and looks down at the phylactery.
Samiyah says slowly, '.. that keeps happening.'
Samiyah stares into the ruby eyes of the skull, unblinking.
Belsambar collects some tatters of the dream energy and seems to shimmer...'light' into the dreamstuff.
Samiyah murmurs, 'No, Mayhem. I don't want to. You can't make me.'
Samiyah drops the Bone Rod of Necromancy.
You get the Bone Rod of Necromancy.

Samiyah shudders slightly, her shoulders hunching.
Samiyah murmurs, 'No. I will not...'
Belsambar takes a pinch of the snow and sprinkles it over Samiyah in single flakes.
You give a handful of crystalline snow to Samiyah.
Samiyah gasps at the cold. 'Aaaagh..'
Samiyah blinks.
Samiyah blinks.

Samiyah says (in common), '... hullo, Archmage.'.
Samiyah rubs her eye... then the other.
You say (in common), 'Hello, Songbird'.
You say (in common), 'You seem to be a little...rose tinted at the moment...'.
Samiyah smiles tiredly.
Samiyah's brow furrows as she frowns, looking troubled.
Samiyah says (in common), ‘I look what?'.
Samiyah looks down at herself.
You ponder the question.
(Belsambar looks through all his bags)
Belsambar mutters, 'never a mirror when you need one...'
Alfonse ftells, '*Sniffs with his whiskers in Nkai, no scent*'.
Samiyah ftells, '*hesitantly, groggily* Hullo, Alfonse. Are you okay? Do you have a cold? I can hear you sniffling from here.'.
You tell Alfonse (in common), ‘I found her'.
Samiyah frowns slightly, and makes a gesture of refusal. 'They are forbidden. They lead to vanity.'
Samiyah says (in common), '.. but the merchant in the Lemming has one.'.
Alfonse tells you (in common), 'oh good! I was searching for her as well'.
Alfonse ftells, 'No cold, I was searching for you Sami, since I couldn't see you, I was... well...'.
Alfonse ftells, 'Smelling for you with my whiskers.'.
Samiyah ftells, '*blinks* Oh. I am in Riverhold. In the school.'.
In the Common Room of the Lemming
[Exits: north up]
A plain room, this chamber is for public use by the patrons of the Lemming,
whether that be eating, sleeping, or meeting, hosting, or socializing. Much
of the unofficial business of the town is completed here, from bartering for
goods, to meeting merchants from downriver a bit. A few wooden tables and
chairs scatter one half of the room, the other half being reserved for
sleeping pallets. A narrow ladder is propped up against the southern wall,
providing access to a small loft in the rafters above.
You managed to trample any tracks that were here...
