For the Former Archdruid
10 February 2011
2/5 20:36:35.390 Livius says: Who among you,
besides Alasandria, has children?
2/5 20:36:44.625 Fallenkiss raises her hand.
2/5 20:36:45.906 Gerby raise her hand a little
2/5 20:36:48.765 Ahvie tells Livius NO. Not going to happen.
2/5 20:36:56.125 Livius says: Ah, of course, Fallen, how could I forget?
2/5 20:36:58.625 Alasandria giggles at Ahvie.
2/5 20:36:59.296 Wulfenbach shakes his head
2/5 20:37:01.093 Livius says: Sorry!
2/5 20:37:02.343 Fallenkiss smiles at Livius.
2/5 20:37:05.406 Fallenkiss says: it's alright.
2/5 20:37:06.171 Livius says: Anyone else?
2/5 20:37:11.921 Gerby says: well he is not really mine
2/5 20:37:15.406 Gerby says: but i raised him
2/5 20:37:25.375 Livius says: My pick tonight is not the person I admire most.
2/5 20:37:47.781 Ahvie looks confused.
2/5 20:37:58.906 Gerby says: the one you love the most?
2/5 20:37:59.875 Livius says: But I'm going to talk about him a bit because, if
I don't, I doubt anyone else will. And as reviled as he often is, there is good
in all. And I want to say something good about him.
2/5 20:38:26.750 Ochood listens intently to Livius.
2/5 20:38:26.890 Livius says: I'm going to talk about our former Archdruid,
Fandral Staghelm.
2/5 20:38:34.000 Livius says: anyone want to GROAN first?
2/5 20:38:36.000 Wulfenbach bares his teeth and snarls.
2/5 20:38:38.812 Fallenkiss blinks at Livius.
2/5 20:38:42.578 Alasandria smirks slyly at Livius.
2/5 20:38:46.734 Ochood raises his hand.
2/5 20:38:47.234 Ahvie shakes her head.
2/5 20:38:49.218 Ochood says: Can I?
2/5 20:38:49.968 Gerby smiles at Livius.
2/5 20:38:53.703 Ochood says: Beat Livius ahvie?!
2/5 20:38:57.078 Livius says: Yes, Och, make it quick.
2/5 20:39:00.234 Borren feels lost
2/5 20:39:02.046 Tani says: I was always taught "If you can't say something
nice, shut yer feckin' mouth!"
2/5 20:39:03.921 Ochood clears his throat and groans.
2/5 20:39:08.171 Ahvie grins wickedly at Tani.
2/5 20:39:09.390 Fallenkiss rolls her eyes and shrugs with a sigh.
2/5 20:39:09.484 Livius smiles at Tani.
2/5 20:39:14.140 Livius says: Sound advice, Tani.
2/5 20:39:16.421 Livius says: Anyway...
2/5 20:39:23.828 Livius says: I asked about children at the start.
2/5 20:40:04.296 Livius says: Staghelm had a son. Valstann. Who died in the
service of the armies of Kalimdor. Murdered by the hand of a quiraji general,
right in front of his father's eyes.
2/5 20:40:17.921 Gerby says: terrible
2/5 20:40:18.796 Livius says: I asked who has children.
2/5 20:40:19.500 Ahvie shudders.
2/5 20:40:30.359 Livius says: No parent should ever have to bury their child.
2/5 20:40:40.765 Livius says: And if a parent is forced to do exactly that,
well...
2/5 20:40:42.703 Ochood seems to be sobering up.
2/5 20:40:51.046 Livius says: ...it can have unpredictable and lasting
consequences.
2/5 20:40:59.453 Ahvie nods slowly.
2/5 20:41:03.468 Alasandria close her eyes and shivers at the thought.
2/5 20:41:07.671 Livius says: It certainly screwed the hell out of the former
Archdruid.
2/5 20:41:18.765 Livius says: And much of what followed that was negative about
him....
2/5 20:41:20.437 Fallenkiss rubs her mother's back soothingly.
2/5 20:41:23.515 Ochood downs another mug.
2/5 20:41:27.296 Ochood seems a little tipsy from the Darkbrew Lager.
2/5 20:41:28.843 Livius says: ...can be traced to that one, horrific, traumatic
event in his life.
2/5 20:41:34.921 Tani seems a little tipsy from the Flagon of Mead.
2/5 20:41:40.265 Wulfenbach seems a little tipsy from the Potent Pineapple
Punch.
2/5 20:41:48.390 Livius says: I am glad that Staghelm is currently a prisoner,
confined to Moonglade.
2/5 20:41:51.890 Alasandria smiles at her daughter and pats her back gently.
2/5 20:41:55.718 Livius says: For his crimes, he has to be.
2/5 20:42:01.312 Livius says: Of this there is no doubt.
2/5 20:42:08.156 Gerby pass some brew to tani
2/5 20:42:09.781 Livius says: But I also choose to remember two things about
him.
2/5 20:42:09.937 Fallenkiss nods slightly.
2/5 20:42:16.609 Tani takes it and smiles
2/5 20:42:29.578 Livius says: First, if not for his brilliant tactical genius,
Kalimdor would never have survived the Quiraji assault.
2/5 20:42:40.312 Wulfenbach nods at Livius.
2/5 20:42:43.062 Livius says: We simply wouldn't have a Kalimdor.
2/5 20:42:43.937 Gerby smiles at Livius.
2/5 20:42:47.609 Livius says: And second....
2/5 20:42:55.046 Livius says: As flawed and as folly as it was ---
2/5 20:42:59.468 Livius says: Teldrassil STANDS.
2/5 20:43:03.390 Ochood refrains from saying something and just eyes his drink.
2/5 20:43:04.453 Ahvie nods at Livius.
2/5 20:43:06.875 Fallenkiss nods at Livius.
2/5 20:43:10.953 Gerby says: did he do that?
2/5 20:43:13.609 Alasandria nods at Livius.
2/5 20:43:19.078 Livius says: And upon Teldrassil, Shando Stormrage and Tyrande
Whisperwind benevolently rule my people.
2/5 20:43:44.843 Livius says: There would not BE a world tree without Staghelm
-- despite his perhaps twisted motive.
2/5 20:44:04.609 Livius shrugs. Who knows?
2/5 20:44:06.750 Livius says: Perhaps never.
2/5 20:44:16.812 Livius says: But see the good in all, I challenge you.
2/5 20:44:26.125 Ahvie nods at Livius.
2/5 20:44:29.937 Livius says: And if you are ever a parent, do your best.
2/5 20:44:30.390 Gerby says: so nice you learned that livie
2/5 20:44:32.765 Gerby smiles at Livius.
2/5 20:44:38.546 Livius says: Thank you.
2/5 20:44:42.421 Ahvie applauds at Livius. Bravo!
2/5 20:44:43.421 Gerby claps excitedly for Livius.
2/5 20:44:44.843 Alasandria applauds at Livius. Bravo!
2/5 20:44:45.968 Fallenkiss grins slightly at Livius and nods.
2/5 20:44:50.265 Fallenkiss applauds at Livius. Bravo!
2/5 20:44:50.265 Wulfenbach seems to be sobering up.
2/5 20:44:51.656 Ochood slowly nods and claps.
2/5 20:44:53.078 Wulfenbach says: Hmm
2/5 20:44:55.703 Wulfenbach nods at Livius.
