Lundar asks, "Does everybody have a general idea of what we will be talking about?"
Speedier says, "I think so"
Hellraiser says, "No idea. :P"
Aerizith says, "stones"
Aerizith says, "and portals"
Polerand says, "I'm just making sure I know what I'm going to be blamed for."
Mjollnir asks, "security of the portal, handing over date stuff like that?"
Lundar says, "Right Mjollnir"

Mjollnir asks, "aside from security what are the other major concerns?"
Lundar says, "That's the major one"
Lundar says, "Hopefully the 'Brions can answer any questions/concerns we have"
Mjollnir asks, "are we here make suggestions or to listen to them saying how its going to be?"
Lundar says, "We should be firm on the security"
Lundar says, "We should try to have an idea of what we want beforehand, though"

Lundar says, "We should all try to show some courtesy during the meeting"
Mjollnir says, "so dont go yelling everything"
Lori yells, "speak louder, mjo!"
Lori asks, "like this?"
Mjollnir yells, "what?"
Lori says, ";>"

Sor asks, "Lundar can you speak dwarven?"

(Portal Security Discussion)

Abe asks, "Lundar: do u have an idea how to secure a portal agains axxidentiual use?"
Speedier asks, "is that neccessary?"
Abe says, "yes it is nessesary imo"
Lundar says, "I was thinking a structure surrounding the portal"
Lundar says, "With lock and key"
Speedier says, "before the war we travelled between dimensions allot"
Lundar says, "Yei, but departing from EP causes damage to Purgatory"
Kalian asks, "who would get the keys?"
Mjollnir says, "i have an idea for a secure entry"
Aerizith asks, "who exactly IS allowed to use the portal?"
Kalian says, "that is not fair if only mystic get them"
Mjollnir says, "they could just be the same locks as the passkeys"
Lundar asks, "How do yi suggest the keys be distributed, Kalian?"
Kalian says, "lets them use the pass keys"
Kalian says, "that could be good"
Lundar says, "That wouldn't be secure"
Kalian says, "and a mystic would get one once they are promoted if not already having one"
Mjollnir says, "or you can have them handed out in the ethereal plane so the people strong enough to get there can use the shortcut next time"
Abe says, "soon keys will float arround"
Mjollnir says, "there is no set who"
Kalian says, "everyone"
Highlander asks, "the keys could be lost then?"
Mjollnir says, "they just dont want people to stumble in accidentily"
Mjollnir says, "or deliberatley go in and depart"
Salandra says, "It is my understanding that the goal is to allow access to the exiles and prevent access to anyone who would use it to cause further damage to the planes."
(Lundar nods to Salandra.)
Salandra ponders, "for someone who asked"
Mjollnir says, "except there is no definate way of knowing somebodies intentions"
Kalian says, "yes but thats very hard to moderate"
Highlander asks, "what exactly causes the damage...departing there?"
Abe says, "highlander yes departing"
Lundar says, "Yei, departing from EP"
Kalian says, "yes but thats very hard to moderate, mabey the mystic should be allowed to be the givers of the keys to the exiles they trust"
Kalian asks, "would that work Lundar?"
Mjollnir says, "except that puts the whole thing in the hands of the mystics which many people dont want"
Aerizith says, "just have a guard that knows who can and cant enter"
Kalian says, "i know Mjollnir but that the only thing that could be fool proof"
Salandra says, "I think the concern is less with mystics being in charge and more with a limited number of people being in charge"
Lundar says, "We can vote on who holds the keys"
Kalian says, "I would like to be a holder if possible, seeing how i am close with the brions"
Aerizith says, "should be a doorman not keys"
Aerizith says, "if a snert gets a key there's no way of getting it back"
Highlander asks, "maybe it should be handled like Shovels...by the best/strongest exiles?"
Lundar says, "I don't think strength is necessarily a good measure of responsibility"
Lundar says, "Responsible adventure organizers, perhaps"
Highlander says, "true...but weak and irresponsible is worse..."
Salandra says, "It's the opinion of the Shael Council that the best way of handling controled access to the portal..."
Salandra says, "..Would be to set guards outside of it that would only let those pass who knew a phrase or password"
Kalian says, "oh that copuld work"
Lundar says, "For a week"
Mjollnir says, "thats no good the password would soon appear on somebodies scroll"
Opxe says, "yeah"
Kalian says, "ya i guess"
Aerizith says, "set it up like a guild"
Aerizith says, "the guard knows who can and cant enter"
Mjollnir asks, "an affiliation perhaps?"
Aerizith says, "I guess that would be better"
Mjollnir says, "the brions set up the original and then the members allow others in"
Salandra says, "As said before the problems with an affiliation (or any other select group) is that of deciding who has.."
Salandra says, ".. the limited and very valued access"
Lundar says, "Elect guardians, and also create backdoor"
Lundar says, "Guarded by monsters"
Aerizith asks, "I thought the point was to have a clear harmless way?"
Lundar says, "Right"
Lundar says, "There would be two entrances"
Lundar says, "The 'Brions need to agree to all of this, of course"

You think to Melabrion, "Ahh, that would be acceptable"
Melabrion mutters.
(Sor): -Melabrion asks in Dwarven, "And?"
Mjollnir says, "and no we have a say we are determined to use it"
Sombrion says, "We have a deal, do we not? It matters little to me with whom."

Melabrion mutters in the Dwarven language.
(Sor): -Melabrion says in Dwarven, "Since we will receive the stones
today, no study has been done."
(Callia smiles coldly)
(Sareth grins)
Laiy says, "Ahh I see. I thought they had been exchanged."
