Hans and i decided to arrive at rjo's party separately, just to ensure we would not be spotted so easily. We had a three-fold reason for going to the party: namely for finding anyone willing to risk much in helping to free Jupiter, to secure the book that Vlar and Marjo were finishing on portal travel and finally to show Marjo just how much we appreciated all her contribution to the Realm. Really, too, I just wanted to have a good time with my friends with no undesirable interruption. I arrived shortly after Hans as we had planned. It was good to see all the people coming and going. The costumes were bright and festive, and I had a great time trying to guess who each one was. I met one smartly dressed warrior named Mesdoram Elmdor. He looked like an authentic Spartan. I believe his tactic was to look like a warrior from the ancient realm of Finale Fantastique. There were those dressed as pirates, witches, warlocks, undead warriors, orcs, and an exquisite looking golden armored knight. HeHe! One dressed like Ol' Jupe was also there. It was quite a gathering. A Character named Catalin was helping to run a game called Mafia, and about all participated. I feel the game was rigged as do others, but I am not naming names. Nonetheless, I had much fun playing the said rigged game. I did see one minor disconcerting event, but a well-dressed gentleman disposed of him quickly and permanently. He was a very efficient guard. A mysterious character named Chris made an appearance. I would have given him closer scrutiny had he been wearing a brown hooded robe, but his robe was a nice shade of red. He also looked very trustworthy. Marjo was an excellent host and gave everyone a momento for having come. It was a very nice gesture. I am glad to call her friend. She is a very kindred spirit. The Wispfelt area is very beautiful. It is such a nice, peaceful place. It will soothe your spirit should you walk through the wondrous garden areas. Thank you , Lady Marjo for opening your home to the Realm. I would have stayed longer, but the character dressed as Ol' Jupe 'ACCIDENTALLY' dropped a book very close to me. As he passed, he whispered quietly, "from a mutual friend and quickly departed I did not want to make a scene, so i did not try to detain him. I discreetly bent down and picked up the book, and walked to a secluded spot. When I was away from the party I opened the book and began to read. As i read it, it became quite clear the book had nothing to do with the quest to find Jupiter. It did not make any sense to try to clear out all the dungeons of the realm. Had all the realm been enlisted to do so, it would have taken forever. We did not have forever to give at the moment. I believe it was a clever trick to throw us off the true path. I hid away the book in my tunic and returned to the party. I talked to as many as I could to enlist them in the quest to find Jupiter. Time will tell how successful I was at bringing them along. Will they come.....
