On the Hunting of Common Criminals - Leodora - 2010

Taught on 12/11/2010

Leodora smiles at Syera, 'Thank you for checking, sister.'

Syera pulls the chair towards her and sits down.

The Door is open.

Khahliana starts paying increased attention to her surroundings.

A Classroom
This small room was recently converted from a storage room into a classroom
to train novices, and occasionally Accepted. Shelves built into the dull
stone walls hold stacks of yellow pages that crackle from the draft under
the door. Several round tables fill the room and offer a view of a large
blackboard.
[ obvious exits: W ]
Kalinia the Wearied Novice is resting here.
Aedrin the Fledgling Novice is resting here.
Syera the Journey Accepted is standing here.
Janovy the Wearied Novice is sitting here.
Aish the Wearied Novice is standing here.
Jubilee the Wearied Novice is standing here.
Leodora Josavei, Journey Accepted is standing here mending a weapon.
A warder stands nearby, calm yet poised to leap into battle.
A calm woman bathed in serenity seems to attract your attention.
A woman of self-possessed arrogance stares beyond you with cold indifference.

Leodora says 'Also, please refrain from eating or drinking until it is over.'

Leodora says 'And lastly, please raise your hand if you have a question, it will keep things more organized.'

listen none
Khahliana now ignore the chats and narrates.

Leodora grins at Aish.

Leodora walks over to the door and closes it.

Leodora closes the Door.

Aish settles down in her chair with a sigh of relief.

Khahliana takes a seat at the back.

Leodora clears her throat and ruffles through her notes on the desk.

Janovy urges Khahliana to the front, 'You may not have a good view!'

Khahliana says 'My eyes are keen enough, Novice.'

Kalinia chuckles politely.

Janovy blushes.

Syera chuckles quietly.

Leodora blinks, 'Now, as the title of the class is the hunting on common criminals, does anyone wish to hazard a guess as to what we mean by that?'

Aish scratches her chin.

Aedrin raises her hand.

Leodora nods at Aedrin.

Syera nods in agreement.

Aedrin says 'It's more commonly known as "smobbing.'

Leodora nods in agreement.

Khahliana suddenly feels less protected.

Someone knocks on the Door from the other side.

open door

Annabelle has arrived from the west.

close door

Annabelle smiles happily.

Annabelle curtseys gracefully.

Leodora says 'Correct, I would wish to make that distinction first. Common criminals doesn't extend to say, hunting wanteds.'

Leodora thanks Khahliana heartily.

Syera nods in agreement.

The Door is opened from the other side.

Yysorha has arrived from the west.

Yysorha closes the Door.

Leodora smiles at Annabelle, 'We've only just began, have a seat.'

Kalinia beams a smile at Yysorha.

Annabelle smiles happily.

Khahliana senses Annabelle connecting to the True Source.

Syera pushes her hair back and looks around.
Leodora nods at Yysorha.

Aedrin invites Yysorha to sit next to her.

Annabelle sit down in the front row.

Annabelle sits down.
Annabelle sheathes a blue steel scimitar with silver-wrapped hilt into a jewel-encrusted scabbard.

Yysorha curtsies respectfully, then finds a seat near the middle.

Yysorha sits down.

Leodora frowns at Annabelle briefly, 'Avoid use of the Power unless needed, Child.'

Yysorha blinks.

Annabelle says 'sorry accepted didnt mean to hit that alias.'

Yysorha sits next to Aedrin.

Leodora nods at Annabelle.

Leodora says 'No harm done.'

Aish chews on a finger-nail.

Leodora says 'To continue, hunting criminals can be done with any size group, or even by yourself, if you are skilled enough.'

Tick timer disabled.

Leodora says 'However, in general, maximum flexibility is achieved with a varied group of at least 4 experienced individuals.'

Leodora says 'ooc: Experienced meaning level 30 or higher.'

Syera looks up at Leodora, as she notes additions to her page.

Aish crosses her arms and listens.

Leodora says 'Anyone can lead such a group, but there are certain requirements a leader should have to be successful.'

Leodora says 'The minimum to be a leader is to know where the criminals are located.'

Leodora grins wryly, 'Otherwise hunting them can be a little difficult.'

Leodora says 'Beyond that, most good leaders will also have a high ability to search out hidden doors or keys.'

Yysorha's attempt to quietly draw out a notebook is subdued by a spill of loose scribbled papers.

Leodora says 'Many criminals have concealed entrances to their lairs, and an untrained person will not be able to find them.'

frown yysorha
Khahliana frowns.

Leodora blinks at Yysorha.

The Wheel of Time turns...

Aedrin tries to help Yysorha.

Yysorha squints, ordering her notes.

Syera coughs slightly and ignores the disturbance.

Leodora clears her throat, 'Though not a requirement, having some affinity with picking open stubborn locks is also useful for certain criminals.'

Syera chuckles politely.

Leodora says 'Notice that the aforementioned two requirements can be delegated to another member in the group, though the leader would benefit from having them himself.'

Aedrin raises her hand.

Leodora nods at Aedrin.

Tick timer enabled.

Aedrin says 'How experienced need one be with detecting hidden doors and opening them furtively?'

Khahliana coughs softly, 'Herself.'

grin leodora
Khahliana grins at her.

Syera grins evilly.

Aedrin smiles at Khahliana.

Leodora colors faintly.

Yysorha gives a small nod at Khahliana.

Leodora says 'I stand corrected.'

Syera grins slightly as she thinks to herself .' Why let a man do, what women can do better.'

Leodora regains composure, 'To answer your question, a skill of around 50% is usually the minimum, but there are a fair number of criminals with hidden entrances requiring up to 86% to open.'

Aish rolls her eyes...sheesh!..

Annabelle raise hand

Leodora nods at Annabelle.

Annabelle says 'there is a room in caem that a criminal could use that is 99 search i believe.'

Yysorha rubs the corners of her eyes.

Leodora furrows her eyebrows in thought.

Annabelle says 'that door is called wellstone.'

Syera nods in agreement.

Leodora nods in agreement.

Annabelle says 'inside the door is also a no loc.'

Jubilee searches through some notes then nods at Annabelle.

Leodora says 'Correct, though I was more referring to the common criminals outside of the city proper.'

Annabelle nods in agreement.

Leodora says 'Any more questions for the moment?'

Leodora grins.

Janovy shakes her head.

Syera motions for her Sister to continue with the most interesting class.

Kalinia disappears into the void.

Kalinia has returned.

Syera coughs loudly.

Aish examines her boot laces.

Kalinia blushes.

Leodora nods and continues, 'The last trait a good leader would have is some experience with fighting in case of encounter with an enemy raiding party.'

Leodora glances briefly at Kalinia, 'Though it does not happen frequently, if it does, a capable leader would coordinate the defense better instead of letting the group scatter.'

Syera nods in agreement.

Kalinia nods in agreement.

Leodora looks at the novices in the room, 'Though I'm sure it has been covered in novice orientation already, I will mention it once more.'

Aish grins.

Leodora says 'You are not permitted to attack raiders or wanteds except in self-defense, or if your group leader is attacked.'

Annabelle raise hand.

Leodora says 'Either leader should take the group in as soon as reasonably possible, or you should Travel to safety until the threat is gone.'

Yysorha looks at Kalinia.

Leodora nods at Annabelle.

Annabelle says 'i will ask after you get done.'

Leodora says 'If it's related to this, might as well ask now.'

Leodora grins at Annabelle.

Annabelle says 'but sometimes ur leader can have wanted or criminal of his own.so still not wise idea to attack them i would think.'

Yysorha nods at Annabelle.

Leodora furrows her eyebrows in thought.

Aish blinks in confusion.

Leodora says 'If it means getting involved in a dispute between nations, such as between Tear and Mayene, then, yes, it would be recommended to stay out of the fight.'

Janovy disappears into the void.

Janovy has returned.

Janovy pouts.

Syera nods in agreement.

Kalinia grins at Janovy.

Someone knocks on the Door from the other side.

open door
Syera thinks to herself..'Especially White Cloaks.'

Ranna has arrived from the west.

close door

Ranna curtseys gracefully.

Leodora beams a smile at Ranna.

Syera beams a smile at Ranna.

Ranna says 'Apologies for my lateness, Accepted.'

Yysorha beams a smile at Ranna.

Leodora says 'Have a seat, please.'

Ranna stops using a leatherleaf staff.

Ranna sits down.

Leodora nods in agreement.

Aish frowns at the door.

Aedrin beams a grin at Ranna.

l w
The Door is closed.

Annabelle says 'but all whitecloaks aint the same person.and we just cant hate them cause they are whitecloaks.'

arch aish
Khahliana looks at her archly.

Leodora says 'I will send you the part that you missed when we are done.'

Ranna says 'Thank you, Accepted.'

Ranna blushes.

Syera nods in agreement.

Ranna folds her arms in her lap and listens.

Leodora says 'Now, there are several ways to reduce the chance of running into raiders while out hunting.'

Syera whispers something to Annabelle.

Leodora says 'When resting before or after hitting a criminal, you can periodically sense nearby backpacks, water skins, or daggers to see if they are on enemies.'

Yysorha looks at a calm woman.

Leodora says 'You should also listen to reports from others about where enemies are sighted and where they are going.'

Yysorha straightens her posture.

Syera nods in agreement.

Leodora says 'Obviously, entering an area where Shadowspawn may be nearby isn't a bright idea.'

Syera raises her hand.

Leodora nods at Syera.

Syera nods in agreement.

Syera says 'Also the areas where known Darkfriends and Enemy's like to stalk. Take *PUNY* and Cairhien.'

Aedrin settles her head in the palm of her left hand as she writes with her right hand.

Ranna nods in agreement.

Leodora grins at Syera.

Aish picks at a scab on her knee.

Leodora says 'Indeed.'

Ranna shivers uncomfortably.

Leodora says 'In the same vein, be aware of murderers who are awake and about the world.'

Leodora says 'Though we haven't had as many of those recently, or of rogue channelers, it is prudent to stay sharp if they are awake and about.'

Syera thinks on Islai and her ramblings.

Leodora frowns at the mention of Islai before continuing.

Leodora says 'And finally, be sure to kill rats, ravens, and crows quickly before they follow the group.'

Jubilee disappears into the void.

Jubilee has returned.

Jubilee sighs loudly.

Kalinia chuckles politely.

Leodora says 'I'm sure you are all aware that they are spies for the Shadow.'

Kalinia nods in agreement.

Janovy nods in agreement.

Yysorha nods meekly.

Syera nods in agreement.

Syera spits over her shoulder.

Aish looks mildly revolted.

Ranna nods in agreement.

frown syera
Khahliana frowns.

Aedrin agrees.

Aish nods at Syera.

Syera quickly makes sure she didn't actually spit much.

Leodora sets aside part of her notes, 'Before moving to the next part, are there any questions?'

Yysorha does her best to not look at the floor near Syera.

Jubilee raises her hand.

Leodora nods at Jubilee.

Jubilee says 'I know there are some criminals we are not to take on without numbers.....'

Jubilee says 'Could you please list these and any we are completely restricted from?'

Leodora nods slowly and motions for Jubilee to continue.

Leodora says 'Hmm, there are quite a long list of criminals that novices may not attempt to bring to justice.'

Leodora says 'Perhaps the two more well known ones are Gorthel Par'tan and Imrysa Doberak, both require large groups to ensure safety.'

Ranna scribbles something in a well-worn notebook.

Leodora says 'Others like Master Torturer or Siffas, being too far north, are completely off-limits to novices.'

Leodora says 'Does that answer your question, Jubilee?'

Jubilee says 'I do wonder if Dark Spirit Lord is allowable now?'

Leodora nods in agreement.

Leodora says 'It is.'

Jubilee nods in agreement.

Syera nods in agreement.

Leodora says 'And to address the other part of Aedrin's question from some time back.'

Aedrin perks up as she hears her name.

Yysorha shivers abruptly.

Leodora says 'Typically only limited training in opening locks is required, usually 2 or 3 practices would be enough to handle most criminals.'

Ranna says 'Ah, I had wondered about that.'

Syera straightens her banded hem as she refocuses on the class.

Leodora says 'The main exception is the bandit Roland, which requires much more than usual.'

Syera nods in agreement.

Leodora says 'About 72%, if I recall correctly.'

Annabelle nods in agreement.

Aish raises her hand.

Leodora nods at Aish.

Yysorha scrawls on a fresh paper.

Aish says 'You mentioned someone called Imrya..? Who is she?'

Leodora says 'She is otherwise known as the Kandori Lithe Woman.'

Aish nods, 'I see, thank you.'

Leodora says 'She resides in the castle at Chachin, east of Maradon.'

Annabelle raise hand

Leodora nods at Annabelle.

Annabelle says 'cant we go there with a group of 6'

Syera nods in agreement.

Aish looks thoughtful.

Leodora says 'I believe 5 is the minimal group size to bring her to justice.'

Ranna nods in agreement.

Annabelle says 'but we have to be with a group of 5 i believe dont we which would make us the 6th one?'

Leodora glances briefly at the clock, 'It seems I'm failing behind in schedule, I will answer any other questions after class if they aren't answered yet.'

Khahliana raises her hand.

Leodora nods at Khahliana.

Khahliana says 'Forgive my interruption, sister, but I would like to remind the girls that they are speaking not only to an Accepted of the Tower, but their instructor. Proper address would be appropriate.'

Syera nods at Khahliana.

Leodora colors faintly and nods, 'Thank you sister.'

smile leodora
Khahliana smiles at her.

Khahliana glances unhappily around the room, and returns her attention to Accepted Leodora.

Ranna blushes.

Leodora regains her composure, 'On to the next part then.'

Yysorha stares at her pen.

Leodora says 'Saidar remains one of the most dangerous tools available to us, and criminals have varying levels of resistance to it.'

Yysorha looks at Leodora.

Leodora says 'Many have no resistance whatsoever, making them relatively easy to deal with.'

Leodora says 'The bandit Ragnor, Pravus, and the Dark Spirit Lord all fall in this category.'

Leodora says 'Others have resistances to specific types of weaves, such as cold-based weaves in particular.'

Ranna nods in agreement.

Leodora says 'Two examples would be Shadow Knight and Ilsae and Gallorn.'

Aedrin starts drawing a table detailing resistance to weaving.

Leodora says 'So far I have found only one with resistance to fire-based weaves.'

Syera pauses for a moment in her writing, as she remembers her own encounters with those in question.

Aish listens attentively.

Leodora says 'Tar Valon's Forest Brigand Leader is the one, and only in one of the chambers in his underground complex.'

Leodora says 'Some criminals have limited weave resistance due to the presence of their guards.'

Syera nods in agreement.

Leodora says 'Lich and Plains Mistress, for example, if attacked with a small group, have a bad habit of constantly hammering the attackers, preventing weaves from succeeding.'

Yysorha frowns.

Aedrin nods at Yysorha.

Jubilee thumbs through some papers before nodding and making several more notes.

Leodora says 'That said, once the guards are eliminated, or if the criminal is attacked with a large group, this problem is removed.'

Aish looks thoughtful.

Annabelle disappears into the void.

Ranna nods in agreement.

Leodora says 'More dangerous criminals have greater resistance to weaves, such as Disgraced Whitecloak, or Celia.'

Annabelle has returned.

Leodora says 'Both present issues to channelers, regardless of their guards being alive or killed already.'

Leodora says 'I have had some success with weaving if those criminals are stunned with a heavy weapon, but it is not consistent, unfortunately.'

Leodora says 'And lastly, there are certain criminals that reside in rooms where Saidar can't be sensed or controlled.'

Leodora says 'Examples would include Aylia, Wicked Fade, and Siffas.'

Aish chews on a fingernail, listening attentively.

Aedrin raises her hand.

Leodora nods at Aedrin.

Aedrin says 'Also - though we shouldn't be there at all - the pirates in the south of Amadicia.'

Yysorha looks at a tense warder.

Aedrin says 'But who is Siffas, Accepted?'

Syera chuckles politely.

Leodora says 'Siffas is a fade west of Fal Dara.'

Aish glowers.

Leodora says 'He has a sizable group of trollocs with him, making him difficult to kill.'

Yysorha twitches.

Ranna nods slowly.

Kalinia shivers uncomfortably.

Aedrin nods in agreement.

Leodora says 'One more note regarding weave resistances.'

Leodora says 'There is one particular criminal that is resistant to all weaves, the Gholam in the Great Forest.'

Leodora says 'Anything directed at him fails to have any effect whatsoever.'

Yysorha nods slowly, then raises her hand.

Leodora nods at Yysorha.

Aish looks thoughtful.

Yysorha says 'Accepted, I'm aware that.. there are many such criminals who - for whatever reason - the Blind weave simply fails in their chambers.. Mm, do you have a.. a list of these?'

Leodora furrows her eyebrows in thought.

Leodora says 'I have not had the chance to experiment with that a lot, I thought for some time that Gorthel Par'tan would be one of those, but I was not correct.'

Leodora says 'It is something I would need to experiment with more before I can give a definite answer.'

Aedrin raises her hand.

Leodora nods at Aedrin.

Aedrin says 'About Aylia - I noticed that it is only one of the rooms in the complex that you can't channel in. She moves from time to time so I have on occasion been able to weave on her.'

Syera ponders life, the universe, and everything.

Yysorha's lips purse in silent consideration.

Leodora says 'From my understanding, all the rooms except for one are no-channeling.'

Leodora says 'If she happens to be in that room, yes, it is possible to kill her rather quickly.'

Janovy politely excuses herself

Janovy clambers to her feet.

Janovy opens the Door.

Janovy leaves west.

The Door closes quietly.

Jubilee suddenly keels over in pain, surrounded by a white aura...
Jubilee's body has been taken over by a new spirit!

Jubilee sighs loudly.

Leodora says 'Any other questions?'

Ranna disappears into the void.

Aedrin shakes her head.

Yysorha has lost her link.

Leodora nods in agreement.

Aish shakes her head.

Yysorha has reconnected.

Leodora says 'To conclude this portion, certain criminals can weave the Power on you.'

Leodora says 'Those include Raerdan Magi'i, Lich, Dougan Revernan, Chianna Mienne, and Aorik Dubane.'

Leodora says 'Among others.'

Ranna has returned.

Aedrin the Fledgling Novice is a level 42 White Tower human.

Leodora sighs briefly at the clock, 'I regret that the class seems to be taking much longer than expected, as an hour has passed, those who need to excuse themselves may leave if they wish.'

Aish frowns darkly at the door.

Obvious exits:

Syera looks around the classroom with a nod.

Leodora says 'I will continue for those who are interested in continuing.'

Jubilee waits eagerly for the class to continue.

smile leodora
Khahliana smiles at her.

Ranna says 'I am eager to learn more, Accepted.'

Annabelle says 'i wish to hear more accepted.'

Yysorha sits patiently.

Leodora nods in agreement.

Leodora says 'On to the next part then.'

Leodora searches briefly through her notes.

Leodora says 'Now, as I'm sure you are all aware, weaving is generally only half the picture when hunting criminals.'

Leodora says 'Many require martial prowess to defeat.'

Aish grins.

Ranna nods in agreement.

Leodora says 'If you find yourself in a group with mostly strong warriors, nearly all criminals can be stunned with a blow from a heavy weapon.'

Leodora says 'This is very useful for taking them out of the fight for some time.'

Yysorha looks thoughtful.

Leodora says 'Notice that there are two main exceptions to this, Dark Spirit Lord and Lich are both completely immune to all stunning attempts.'

Ranna continues writing.

Leodora says 'And there are also two notable criminals, Shadow Knight and Gholam, that actually require consistent stunning to kill.'

Aedrin murmurs "Interesting..." as she writes.

Leodora says 'A word of caution, several criminals and their bandit guards will attempt to incapacitate you in this manner as well.'

Leodora says 'Gorthel Par'tan and Burly Dragonsworn are notable for doing this rather often.'

Leodora says 'Another ability that can be used against criminals is kicking, though it is of limited use for the most part.'

Leodora says 'The reverse is unfortunately not true.'

Leodora says 'Criminals that that kick back are dangerous, be careful to avoid becoming too exhausted to escape.'

Syera nods in agreement.

Aish looks morbidly at her desk.

Leodora says 'Gorthel Par'tan and Pravus are two examples of such a criminal.'

Leodora says 'I think we can all agree that Gorthel Par'tan does require a large group to properly handle.'

Leodora grins wryly.

Syera snickers softly.

Leodora says 'And the last skill set that I've seen Tower initiates use every now and then.'

Leodora says 'Those of us versed in the use of a dagger can attempt to backstab certain criminals, either by themselves or in a small group.'

Aedrin grins evilly.

Leodora says 'Lich, Kiraf, Burly Dragonsworn, Renegade Aiel, and Renegade Cargomaster all classify into the category of criminals that can be backstabbed without too much hassle.'

Jubilee nods slowly as she makes further notes.

Yysorha raises her hand.

Aish listens with mild astonishment.

Leodora nods at Yysorha.

Ranna nods in agreement.

Yysorha says '..I just want to mention that.. the Dragonsworn group can't be backstabbed.'

Yysorha says 'I'm not sure if it was once less.. fortified.'

Leodora blinks and nods, 'That is correct, I misspoke.'

Leodora frowns at her notes.

Yysorha blinks her eyes innocently.

Leodora says 'Thank you for correcting me on that, Yysorha.'

Aedrin writes down: Lich, Kiraf, Aiel, Cargomaster.

Leodora says 'Thankfully, most criminals will not attempt to backstab you or your group members.'

Yysorha blushes.

Ranna makes a careful note.

Leodora says 'The exception would be Tall Thief and the gray man that lurks about the entrance to Obscured Woman.'

Leodora says 'I might wish to add Renegade Aiel to the list of backstabbing criminals.'

Syera ponders slightly on the last name and nods.

Leodora says 'Perhaps with further testing I will confirm whether he will do so.'

Leodora makes a note on her papers.

Kalinia says 'ooc: I have to go eat so ill brb :P'

Leodora says 'Any questions so far?'

Kalinia says 'sorry of the interuption'

Leodora nods at Kalinia.

Ranna raises her hand.

Leodora nods at Ranna.

Ranna says 'You mentioned criminals that may be backstabbed. To what extent can they be taken on alone? Surely this is a difficult endeavor, yet is it possible?'

Aish listens intently.

Leodora says 'It is, though it is usually done with greatest success by a rogue then by a channeler.'

Ranna nods in agreement.

Aedrin raises her hand.

Leodora says 'That said, heavy armor combined with warding vs damage can help mitigate the damage taken.'

Leodora nods at Aedrin.

Davor bellows 'Learning is good. Stay in school.'

Aedrin says 'I was wondering if... unconventional weaves have any use in hunting these criminals by yourself.'

Khahliana hides a slight smile behind one hand.

Leodora peers around her into the shadows.

Syera chuckles politely.

Aish snickers softly.

Davor the Veteran Gaidin is a level 49 Gaidin human.
A tall dark man stands here gripping his sword with purpose. Glaring at
nothing in particular he moves forward swiftly seeking out Shadowspawn from
their dark pits and sending them to their graves!

Leodora says 'Define unconventional weaves.'

Aedrin says 'For example... incinerate...'

Yysorha peers sideways at Aedrin.

Leodora arches an eyebrow.

Khahliana frowns.

Leodora says 'Perhaps it may work, though I have not had the chance to try it out, and I would discourage you from doing the same.'

Jubilee nods as she raises her hand.

Leodora says 'However, if you were to try blinding some of the guards, and flee-weaving the criminal, you may have greater success.'

Leodora nods at Jubilee.

Jubilee says 'If i can, Accepted, i would like to mention the three criminals i have found easiest for channelers to take on alone'

Jubilee says 'Shifty Ogier, Bandit northwest of Whitebridge and the Murandian Bandit south of Lugard'

Leodora nods in agreement.

Syera nods in agreement.

Leodora says 'All correct, though I don't consider them as dangerous as other criminals.'

Ranna makes a note and underlines it.

Aedrin says 'I was wondering, to be more precise, if you can hide and flee weave with something that does a lot of damage. Such as incinerate, but perhaps fireball?'

Annabelle disappears into the void.

Leodora furrows her eyebrows in thought.

Annabelle has returned.

Leodora says 'It may work, though hiding does not seem to work as well against common criminals as it may against other targets.'

Leodora says 'If the intent is to flee-weave, I have not found hiding to be a strong prerequisite for it to work well.'

Ranna nods in agreement.

Aedrin nods in agreement.

Leodora says 'The last section covers some more general tips regarding hunting these criminals.'

Alias: + hraise emo hesitantly raises her hand.
Alias hraise removed.

Davor bellows 'anyone know where the serene aes sedai is'

Davor bellows 'for the new questse'

Leodora says 'Always remember that few criminals require a set method to defeat, adjust your technique depending on your group.'

Leodora says 'Groups with many wielders of the Power favor weaving the criminal and leaving upon its death, warrior groups favor defeating the supporting bandit guards first.'

Davor bellows 'thankies'

Hikiko Na'Mori is a human.

I see pain in their eyes,
I hear sorrow in their cries,
Inside I break and cry alone,
With my eyes of fire and heart of stone.

Ranna nods diffidently.

Leodora says 'When engaging, always try to get everyone on the same target at once to kill it fastest.'

Leodora says 'And don't hesitate to ask for tips if you are hitting an unfamiliar criminal. Many group leaders are experienced enough in doing them that they can give you the appropriate tactic to succeed.'

Ranna nods in agreement.

Syera nods slowly.

Annabelle nods in agreement.

Leodora says 'When choosing weaves to learn, if you intend to hunt such criminals a lot, you will want to learn warding vs damage, Healing, and ice spikes at the minimum.'

Leodora says 'To conclude, I will add a reminder that some criminals will have items of the Power on them at times, those are to be turned in to an Aes Sedai by the highest ranking Tower member present.'

Syera nods in agreement.

Davor bellows 'she wont issue me quests *cry*'

Leodora says 'Are there further questions I can answer?'

Yysorha nods quickly.

Aedrin raises her hand.
Kalinia shakes her head.

Leodora nods at Aedrin.

Aish shakes her head.

Aedrin says 'Which of the criminals are most likely to carry angreal, Accepted?'

Leodora grins wryly.

Ranna blinks her eyes innocently.

Leodora says 'A subject I was planning to bring up in the second part of this class for later, but I've finished that part of the research already.'

Leodora says 'Male angreals sometimes load in the chest of the Gholam, female angreals can be found on Burly Dragonsworn, Tarandelle Spiders, or Ants.'

Syera ponders life, the universe, and everything.

Leodora glances at the class, 'No other questions?'

Aish shakes her head.

Ranna shakes her head.

Khahliana raises her hand.

Syera says 'No thank you Leodora.'

Ranna says 'Not at this time, Accepted.'

Leodora nods at Khahliana.

Aedrin shakes her head.

Khahliana says 'This is not a question, but during the flurry of questions at the beginning, I'm not certain a clear answer was given as to which criminals are absolutely forbidden. I want to make it clear that Kandori Lithe and Gorthel Partan are the only criminals in forbidden areas which Novices are allowed to engage with a group.'

Leodora nods at Khahliana.

Aedrin nods in agreement.

Jubilee raises her hand.
Leodora says 'Thank you for clarifying that, sister.'

Leodora smiles at Khahliana.

Leodora nods at Jubilee.

smile leodora
Khahliana smiles at her.

Jubilee says 'Also, i would guess that one must travel through the Great Forest to approach Dark Spirit Lord, due to Fal Dara Rd being off limits, is this correct Accepted?'

Aedrin shakes her head.

Leodora blinks.

Leodora says 'No, it is possible to reach Dark Spirit Lord through Rhahime.'

Jubilee nods in agreement.

Khahliana says 'Actually, not even that far sister.'

Leodora says 'In fact, the path through the Great Forest is actually much longer.'

Ranna nods shyly.

Leodora says 'Which path do you speak of?'

Khahliana says 'From Tar Valon, I mean. It is only a short distance from here and before you reach the Rhahime.'

Leodora furrows her eyebrows in thought.

Jubilee says 'I have always gone north from Lich to get there due to my wish to stay away from PK related zones'

Khahliana says 'We are speaking of DSL? Not TMC?'

Leodora says 'Hmm, I suppose my geography may be a bit rusty, I had interpreted the village west o Tar Valon as being part of Rhahime.'

Yysorha raises her hand.

Aish looks confused.

Leodora says 'But yes, the path west of Tar Valon does lead to Dark Spirit Lord with a minimum of distance to cover.'

Leodora nods at Yysorha.

Annabelle disappears into the void.

Annabelle has returned.

Yysorha says 'If I can help to clarify.. Traveling west of Alindaer, you will eventually enter the village Rhahime. If you go north of there, you will reach Gorthel's hideout. Mm, however, if you instead remain east of Rhahime, and go north through the 'cut' area, you will reach the Dark Spirit Lord.'

Leodora nods at Yysorha.

Jubilee nods at Yysorha.

Leodora says 'That summarizes the location much better, thank you Yysorha.'

Leodora says 'Did you have a question, Aish?'

Yysorha tries to control her smile.

Ranna beams a smile at Yysorha.
