Encounter with Samael

Thanks to Himitsu for sending TMN this transcript from Blaise. Both are members of Winds of Dawn.

This is a cleaned-up log of my encounter with Samael following the recent Storm. I've added some comments in brackets.

It's 1:48pm on Merdi, day 69 of Summer, 546.

[I'm visiting the Puddleby underground, and am examining the tunnel east of the "Under Construction" guild. A shadowy undead form is hovering.]

Blaise says, "Hello"
You just received anonymous good karma, *You feel something lightly brush your mind
Samael growls, "H'loi."
Blaise asks, "What's happening?"
Samael has not disclosed his race, is male, is an exile, and is not wearing the symbol of any clan.
His hands are empty, and he is wearing a sunstone.
(He is betrothed to Lilit, father of Lilim and Gens Dea.)

Samael growls, "I know nothing of what the noids seek."
Blaise says, "Really."
Samael growls, "If that is what you speak of."
Blaise ponders, "I wonder what the noids seek?"
Blaise asks, "Is there anything of interest here?"
Samael growls, "I do not know what you are interested in."
Blaise says, "Life... the universe... everything."
Blaise says, "You know"
Samael growls, "There are many things interesting about this part of the universe... but they are beyond mortal sight."
Samael growls, "Mortals, for instance. They live yet they know they will cease to exist."
Blaise says, "And yet some portion of themselves continues on..."
Samael growls, "Sometimes."
Samael growls, "Souls can be rent and shredded like any garment."
Samael growls, "But there are worse fates."
Blaise asks, "What do you seek, Samael? Why are you here?"
You just received anonymous good karma, *Samael's gaze seems to bore into your soul.
(Blaise feels nervous)
Samael growls, "I am here because this is a very interesting place, for those of the Goddess."
Blaise asks, "This is the Goddess that Luna serves?"
Samael growls, "Do you know what we are under?"
Blaise says, "No Sir..."
Samael growls, "Perhaps that should be your first step in discovering if there is anything interesting here."
Blaise says, "Hmm"
You gave good karma to Samael.
You equip your moonstone.

[I follow Samael west to the Guild]
Under Construction
Blaise asks, "Samael, is the Sanctuary over that spot?"
Samael growls, "Not directly."
Samael growls, "Your moonstone... it is painful to me."
Blaise says, "I shall move away then"
Blaise asks, "Does the power of the moonstone come from the Goddess?"
Samael growls, "The moon, like all of creation, is part of the Night Mother."
Samael growls, "But the moonstone derives its power only from the moon."
Samael growls, "Luna is a priestess of the Night Mother."
Blaise asks, "Does her use of the moonstone interfere?"
Blaise says, "I am very unschooled in these things"
Samael growls, "It does not."
Blaise asks, "Is there any word I may carry back to one of the Exiles for you?"
Samael growls, "I shall find them when I need them."
Blaise says, "Thank you for the conversation then"
Samael growls, "Be ware of the Darshak."
Blaise asks, "In general.. or is there a current danger?"
Samael growls, "They grow stronger each day."
Blaise asks, "To what purpose?"
Samael growls, "To destroy Puddleby."
Blaise says, "Oh dear."
Blaise says, "Thanks.... good bye"
(Blaise considers what he has heard today)

[Samael heads west]
[I sprinted past a new spawn of spiders all the way to Diggin's tunnel.
Surprisingly, Samael was there.]

Blaise exclaims, "You move fast!"
Samael thinks to you, "These walls are nothing to me."
[I exit]
