This side of the square is the southern section of the Tower Square.

boulevard opens up leading to the Southharbor. To the north you see
the southern gate of the Tower grounds. The square continues east
and west.
A large banner rests here, depicting a map of Tar Valon.

The Tar Valon town crier stands here, spreading the news.

Penzei curtseys to her audience.

Jenda looks around slowly, as if something is hidden in the room.

Penzei says 'Greetings Jenda Sedai!'

Jenda says 'I did not see you walk in, Accepted. Greetings. '

Jenda looks at Penzei.

Jenda says 'You look well. All but that shield. '

The night has begun.

Jenda looks around slowly, as if something is hidden in the room.


Jenda says 'So. How are you spending your time lately? '

Penzei says 'This shield has seen alot of use!'

Penzei giggles.

Jenda grins evilly.

Penzei says 'And with all the new tasks we've been assigned I've been super busy!'

s nothing like fresh eggs for breakfast. Get me one whilst
you're out west near those giants, please.'

Penzei is carrying:
Nothing.

d be wise to deposit any money from these in a bank, so you
don't lose it if you run into a trolloc!'

Jenda takes a seat on the fountain's edge and pats the spot beside her.

The Tar Valon town crier tells Penzei 'You can do each quest five times, but the reward is less each
time.'

Penzei stops riding him.

Penzei joins you on the fountain's edge.

Jenda smiles at Penzei.

The Tar Valon town crier beams a smile at Jenda.

Penzei says 'Riveting actually, has been alot of fun!'

Jenda nods, with a motion of her hand. 'Elaborate..'

Syne has arrived from the south.

Jenda looks at Syne.

Syne leaves north. ^^

Penzei says 'I've literally traveled the entire world...'

Penzei says 'Except for that Light forgotten Seanchan territory ofcourse'

Penzei says 'Some real puzzles!'

Syne has arrived from the east.

Syne leaves south. vv

Jenda says 'hm. '

A gray palfrey cocks its head up sharply.

Penzei says 'Got to see a really cool observatory space that the Forester's keep!'

Penzei says 'could see every star and planet in the sky!'

Jenda says 'Oh that sounds beautiful. I have never seen this before. '

Jenda says 'The Foresters are friends of the White Tower. Good men. '

Penzei says 'Elder Frey was a joy to speak too'

Jenda says 'Frey! I have not seen him in a very long time.. I hope he's well. '

Penzei says 'I told him to come visit us if he got Lonely!'

Jenda smirks.

Jenda says 'Is that so....? '

Penzei says 'He mentioned something about not getting visitors anymore'

Penzei giggles.

Penzei says 'I told him he was about to get ALOT of visitors '

Penzei giggles.

Jenda says 'Well, next time he is around let's pay him a visit. '

Penzei says 'Ofcourse!'

Penzei says 'Naturally I've completed all of the Yellow Ajah Tasks already!'

Jenda laughs softly.

Jenda says 'Of course. '

Jenda says 'And did you learn anything new from the Yellow Ajah portion?'

Penzei says 'Honestly you all have prepared me so well it was a breeze'

Jenda laughs softly.

Jenda says 'Happy to hear that! '

Jenda says 'Which ones have you found most enlightening? '

Penzei says 'The First Brown Ajah quest was very complex'

Jenda says 'What did that entail? '

Penzei says 'Seemed to be very routine at first...'

Penzei says 'investigate the bandit king ragnor's hideout'

Jenda arches an eyebrow.

Penzei says 'but turns into a puzzle very quickly'

Jenda says 'Oh.. fascinating. What was the puzzle? '

Penzei says 'There is a nightstand... and you see some scrap marks on the floor so you move the
nightstand out of the way'

Penzei says 'which reveals a panel, then you open the panel'

Penzei says 'and find a kettle, which has water in it, and you use fire weaves to heat the kettle to
produce steam which opens a small door'

Penzei says 'with a lever that you pull'

Penzei says 'and then that leads you to a secret room with a safe you have to crack'

Jenda says 'mhm. Very interesting and exciting, I'm sure. The kettle portion might give a lot of
girls trouble. '

Jenda says 'A safe! amazing. '

Penzei says 'Definetly'

Jenda says 'Well I am impressed. '

Penzei says 'Was so happy doing the yellow tasks... being an apprentice to the yellow already having all
of the healing weaves...'

Jenda grins evilly.

Jenda says 'And you've completed them all? '

A gray palfrey pricks its ears forward and looks alert.
Penzei nods in agreement.

Penzei says 'even handing a mug of ale to that Shienarian Commander'

A wild stallion pricks its ears forward and looks alert.

Penzei giggles.

Penzei says 'ofcourse she asks for beer'

Jenda laughs softly.

Jenda says 'Naturally. '

A gray palfrey swishes the flies off its back with its tail.

Jenda says 'Though at times soldiers self medicate a little too much with libations. '

Jenda says 'Through pain, loss, trauma they sometimes find reality too much and drink themselves
blind. '

The River Lady has arrived at the docks.

Penzei says 'Very true!'

Penzei nods in agreement.

Jenda says 'What do you think about that? As you're aware, at times we are tasked with healing the
soul as well as Healing the body. '

Penzei thinks really hard.

Penzei says 'Battle Fatigue is a real thing... losing friends and loved ones over and over can be hard
to deal with...'

Jenda nods at Penzei.

Jenda says 'Go on. '
Penzei says 'Often times our very presence is enough to cheer them up, they know they are going to make
or save their friends... Afterwards though, they can seek to blame themselves for things that have
gone wrong... we must calm them and remind them that the weave is already woven... '

A tense warder has arrived from the south.

Jenda beams a smile at a tense warder.

Jenda says 'That can be of little comfort at times... the wheel weaving as the wheel will.
.Sheinarans are not afraid to die. but others are. '

Penzei says 'We are all a part of the pattern that makes it... and
we will forever be together in that!'

Jenda says 'Wise words. '

Jenda says 'And how would you try to address the problem with soldiers and over indulging to manage
the trauma? '

Penzei says 'weave him with alittle cure poison and hand him some water! Tell him that his family needs
him more than the drink does!'

Jenda laughs softly.

A tense warder leaves east. >>

Jenda says 'The underlying issue remains, even if his drunkenness or hangover is relieved. '

Penzei boggles at that.

Penzei says 'Apparenlty not!!'

The sun sets, washing the city in fiery colors.

Penzei doesn't feel thirsty any more.

The night has begun.
Tic length updated to: 65.477 seconds.
Jenda nods in agreement.

Jenda says 'Now what were we talking about.. '

Penzei says 'As for men, beating their wives and children as an outlet... a warder with a stiff club and
a swift talking to should do the trick for those cowards...'

Jenda nods slowly.

Jenda says 'The underlying issue again remains. The battle fatigue. trauma. '

Jenda says 'I would direct you to consider treatment for the mind. '

Penzei says 'If they are willing to see the errors in how they are treating others ofcourse, everyone is
open to redemption!'

Jenda narrows her tilted brown eyes in thought.
An old woman has arrived from the east.

Tic in 7 seconds!

Jenda says 'Child.. treatment of mental illness and trauma is a possibility. The need for redemption
for their actions of course is necessary and no doubt these men feel guilt. '

Drusa has arrived from the east.

Jenda says 'However the underlying cause of these symptoms should be treated. '

Drusa leaves north. ^^

The mysterious lady has arrived from the south.

Penzei says 'Sometimes it's as simple as they don't understand their behavior is wrong... because that's
how they were raised...'

An old woman leaves east. >>
A tense warder has arrived from the east.
Penzei says 'You can tell yourself all manner of lies in the face of trauma'

Jenda says 'Sometimes, dear, however those are not the men I'm speaking of. Specifically in this
case we are talking about battle trauma, and t he resulting drinking and violence. '

Jenda nods in agreement.

The River Lady has arrived at the docks.

Jenda says 'Yes. that is true. I have a feeling a 'swift kick' is your method of addressing it? '

Jenda grins at Penzei.

An old woman has arrived from the south.

Penzei says 'Swift kick followed up with a gentle hand'

A gray palfrey flickers its ears.

Jenda laughs softly.

Penzei says 'We must be broken down sometimes to raise ourselves up'

A gray palfrey flickers its ears.
A wild stallion cocks its head up sharply.

Jenda says 'I am not sure I've ever been a deciple of the rod over the gentle hand. '

The mysterious lady leaves west. <<

A black cat leaves west. <<

Penzei says 'Well I've never beaten a child either'

Jenda says 'Though in some situations I have found the bed a fine source of therapy. '

Jenda ponders life, the universe, and everything.

A black cat has arrived from the west.

A sailor has arrived from the south.

Jenda says 'I would suggest you seek her out at a later time to discuss this topic. '

Jenda says 'Myself.. I have always been the surgeon. '

Jenda smirks.

Penzei says 'I also value seeing things through other people's eyes... not an easy thing to wrap ones
self around... but can be extremely valuable... I can see your point... I can also see my point...
and I'm sure Eldrenia Sedai would say very similar things...'

The mysterious lady has arrived from the west.

Penzei says 'Which means we have to be able to tell in the moment which is the best approach to the
current situation'

The mysterious lady leaves west. <<

Penzei says 'that can change, on a whim!'

Jenda says 'Very wise, Accepted. '


Penzei giggles.

Jenda laughs softly.

Jenda says 'And then there are certain truths that cannot be denied.. such as the wide margin of
superiority of Healing over herbalism. '

Jenda grins evilly.

Penzei nods in agreement.

Penzei says 'Whole heartedly agree...'

Jenda licks her mouth and smiles.

Penzei says 'Our only limitation is exhaustion'

A hunter for the horn has arrived from the east.

A beggar has arrived from the west.

Jenda says 'Yes, and our own frail bodies. Remember that a whitecloak's crossbow dart can be as
dangerous as a Fade's sword. '

A wild stallion flickers its ears.
A gray palfrey cocks its head up sharply.

The fountain splashes merrily, light sparkling beautifully on the surface of the water.

Jenda laughs softly.

Jenda says 'Situational awareness, darling '

Penzei giggles.

A Tower Guard has arrived from the south.

Penzei says 'I definitely find not staying in a place that in unsafe for very long reduces the
opportunity for certain members of the shadow to find you'

Jenda says 'Absolutely. '

Penzei says 'And obviously Situational awareness '

A wild stallion lays its ears flat against its neck.

Penzei says 'be aware of threats before they become a problem is very useful'

Jenda says 'And the unknown assassins sent by the shadow or the whitecloaks. '

Jenda nods in agreement.

The River Lady has arrived at the docks.

Jenda says 'So I believe you were given some advice by us previously.. before you could be
considered for the Shawl. Do you recall what we asked you to work on? '

A Tower Guard leaves east. >>

Penzei says 'Not being contentious ?'

Penzei says 'If I remember correctly...'

Jenda ponders life, the universe, and everything.

An old woman has arrived from the east.

Jenda says 'Something like that. Being poised. watching your mouth. etc. '

A beggar begs Jenda for some alms.

A beggar bellows 'Alms for the poor! Alms for the poor!'

An old woman leaves east. >>

Jenda looks at a beggar.

Jenda puts a leather water flask on her belt.

A tense warder leaves west. <<

Penzei says 'Me and Atkins... have an understanding...'

Jenda arches an eyebrow.

Penzei giggles.

Jenda says 'You have an understanding with a whitecloak? Do tell... '

Jenda's eyes narrow fiercely, fire flaring in their depths.

Penzei says 'He knows he won't attack me in a city... but he will sling insults all day... but on the
field of battle in the north... he has saved me and i've saved him on a few occasions...'

Penzei says 'So here we sit on two sides of the fence...'

A beggar leaves south. vv
The sun sets, washing the city in fiery colors.

Jenda frowns.

Jenda says 'A whitecloak saved an Accepted? '

Penzei says 'Shhh'

Penzei says 'Don't tell anyone I'm sure he didn't mean too'

Penzei giggles.

Jenda says 'Do not trust him, child. All Whitecloaks Are Bad. '

Jenda nods to herself, she must need reassurance.

Penzei says 'But happen stance as it is...'

A wild stallion cocks its head up sharply.

Penzei says 'We are all against the Dark Spawn'

A bloodstock stallion flickers its ears.

The night has begun.

Penzei giggles.

Jenda smirks.

Jenda says 'I would not Heal him if he were on fire. '

Jenda smirks.

Penzei says 'I always offer...'

Penzei says 'mostly for spite'

Penzei giggles.

Jenda says 'Yes I've heard that almost all my life. Their silly religion. '
