are shy folk correct? And have short teleportation abilities?
Tender N Wicked: Rushes in, finds a seat in the back, usually far more
studious, and as rushing as she is, does it quietly to not distract others.
ASAP gets to listening and learning.
Halo of Noire: "Druids can be any personality. Not all are shy, at all. Some
druids may tamper with teleportation but that really isn't one of their
druidic gifts. Weeble, what can you add?"

Starberry Loops: “That are fun to play in World of Warcraft.” Sage nod.

blacken the soul: We promote based on quality, folks. Heyooo.
OnlineHost: Rimegaards has entered the room.
A Dark Orb: Druids use divine magic granted by Nature itself, instead of a
diety, generally speaking. They usually strive to keep balance in all
things, and tend to be neutral because of this. They derive spells from
natural effects, plant
Lacey DeGuar: They are in World of Warcrack, but Lacey wouldn't dare say it.
She just snickered when Weeble said it.[d]
A Dark Orb: manipulation, fire spells, weather based effects and the like.
They make little distinction between life and death, all are part of their
natural cycle. Though they tend to revile undeath. A certain sect of druids
however believe

opposition to the majority of druids. <d>
The Lord Isembor: Lord Isémbor knew well what he had to say about druids.
They were the savages, the least scholarly, and most uncivilized of mages.

No. He was trying to keep the circulation going in his legs.
Ginger Complex: Ages as he took notes-[d]
Halo of Noire: "Druids do derive their abilities from a divine source, some
do revere nature gods or goddesses though, and all respect Nature. Druids are
creatures of Balance, and as such they are usually neutral aligned." She
nodded to Agry and

her face as she listened. A world of War? Now that was appealing. Very
appealing. It was time to vacation.

masque of truth: Her head tilted slightly at the movement to her left, but
it was right back to the current discussion and resulting answer.
Halo of Noire: on a constant quest for knowledge, wisdom and truth. Druids
see the body as a sacred vessel. They love the sky, moon, stars and sun. They
are an intellectual magic class. They are many things...priests and
priestesses, healers,

Halo of Noire: mages, judges, bards, histories, mystics, astrologers..." She
paused and pointed to (coolguy). "Yes?"
Coolguy1john: ::He saids "Were Druids Known to be Shape Shifters?"::
OnlineHost: AIl Apologies has entered the room.
LegacyofBIue: "Bards." The words were murmured out as select paragraphs in
research were recalled. No written notes were taken; what a Druid was was
well known to her.
Halo of Noire: "Yes, I haven't gotten to that yet."
Halo of Noire: "But I will now! Druids, when they grow in some power, do
gain the ability to shapeshift. At first only once maybe twice a day and as
they grow they can shift into more creatures for longer periods of time. What
they shift into
OnlineHost: law not mocked has left the room.
Halo of Noire: depends on the kind of druid they are. And yes, as I said
earlier though we think druid we think forest -- not all druids are forest
dwellers. There are arctic druids, desert or wasteland druids, subterranean
druids, mountain druids
Halo of Noire: and grassland or plains druids, coastal druids...and yes,
forest druids. Any and all nature, can have it's protector, a druid. What
kind of druid they are determines also their main weapon, but as we are
focusing on magic we won't
OnlineHost: Rimegaards has left the room.
Halo of Noire: get into their weapon types. A druid is not simply a title
you gain after a few years of school. A druid traditionally spends at LEAST
20 years before they gain the white robes of a druid. Training to be a druid
is so rigorous

they earn their whites. Children as young as 5 or 6 years old started

Halo of Noire: "The number three is very important to druids, and two of
their main symbols show this...the awen and the triskele."
Halo of Noire: "Any questions so far?"
Starberry Loops: ?
Ginger Complex: ---From where he was, he spied Alexis---aww she was the
taller huggy woman he remebered--a wiggle of those fingers before he went
back to listening to the lessons played out, head curiously tilted now as he
watched in anticipation.
Angelic Omicidio: She shook her head no!
Coolguy1john: ?
DevolthDagora: He had none.

go for it."

Starberry Loops: “Are druids born, or can one choose to become a druid?”
Halo of Noire: "Druid is a path one chooses."
OnlineHost: Tender N Wicked has left the room.
LegacyofBIue: Her head shook in negation. such lovely stories were recalled
that she nearly missed the finger wiggling of Buki. Catching sight of him,
she was tempted to dash over and wrap his cute as a button self up in a bear
hug, but she
Halo of Noire: She pointed to coolguy. "State your name, then ask your
question."
OnlineHost: Tender N Wicked has entered the room.
LegacyofBIue: refrained. It was learning time after all. Instead, she waved
back with a wink.
Coolguy1john: ::He saids "Blade Sage and He saids "Which Element did druids
mostly use?::"
Agnes Clayborn: Agnes was simply absorbing it all, her eyes flickered toward
those that spoke up and asked questions. She always seemed to return those
eyes back to Mela. {f}
Halo of Noire: "Depends on what type of druid they are. A druid of the
arctic wastes would use water and ice, perhaps air more. A druid from the
tunnels below, may choose earth. Which, leads us into what I wish to say
next. There are various types
Halo of Noire: of druids as I've stated. Some druids focus on the metals in
the earth. After all, nature has produced the metal, yes? A druid who focuses
on metals and ores may be able to have a spell that gives them an Iron Body

wasn't, maybe that'd be the biggest lesson to her.. who is Mela, but she came
with an open mind all the same, you never know what could be picked up of

waved and winked back and he caught himself smiling -[d]
BellaRemorse: Shift. One leg was falling asleep, but she was hanging on

bioluminescence. Or produce pollen dust as a distraction to enemies. They may
hold poison, or have

also could have tremorsense allowing their druid an even greater knowledge of

A Dark Orb: ::He'd put his own hand down, that was about what he was going

Coolguy1john: ::He gets up comes down from the bleachers and Walks pass them
towards the exit and sits outside::"
Halo of Noire: Most times, something drastic happens to them. A druid who
has their grove burned and destroyed, will more than likely have something
within them change. Perhaps they go stark raving mad. Say that a group of
drow burn down a
Halo of Noire: druid's grove. A druid could go so insane with anger that he
only thinks of revenge. And not just revenge against the ones that destroyed
his natural habitat, but against all drow. The anger and hatred and thirst
for revenge taints

favor of a certain darker deity. Now, there are some mages that power
themselves off

power. A drunk, very little power. The higher level spell they wish to

at all of guiding them back ? Or are they simply lost forever?"
Lacey DeGuar: Nudged and body jiggles a bit to the opposite side. Spacey
Lacey for the moment.[d]
Halo of Noire: "I would say that given the nature of most humanoids, that
there is always a chance for hope or redemption. Some who may go to the dark
side while wishing for revenge, who limit that to only a small group, once
that is done they may

Halo of Noire: "Tonight we will speak about Druids." She reached up and
tugged on her tight ponytail and would begin by glancing across the crowd.
"Who can tell me one thing they know, or have heard about Druids?"
Agnes Clayborn: !
Halo of Noire: Points to Agnes.

Agnes Clayborn: " They use elemental magic to guard the forests. "

elemental magic among other kinds. Damien?"

LegacyofBIue: Quiet as ever and still recouping from the match earlier in
the morn, Alexis silently slunk in to the Arena. she stayed more towards the
back, so as not to interrupt the flow of things.

are shy folk correct? And have short teleportation abilities?
Tender N Wicked: Rushes in, finds a seat in the back, usually far more
studious, and as rushing as she is, does it quietly to not distract others.
ASAP gets to listening and learning.
Halo of Noire: "Druids can be any personality. Not all are shy, at all. Some
druids may tamper with teleportation but that really isn't one of their
druidic gifts. Weeble, what can you add?"
A Dark Orb: !
Starberry Loops: “That are fun to play in World of Warcraft.” Sage nod.

Halo of Noire: She narrowed her eyes at Weeble, and merely moved on. Pointed

OnlineHost: Rimegaards has entered the room.
A Dark Orb: Druids use divine magic granted by Nature itself, instead of a
diety, generally speaking. They usually strive to keep balance in all
things, and tend to be neutral because of this. They derive spells from
natural effects, plant

She just snickered when Weeble said it.[d]

They make little distinction between life and death, all are part of their
natural cycle. Though they tend to revile undeath. A certain sect of druids
however believe

opposition to the majority of druids. <d>
The Lord Isembor: Lord Isémbor knew well what he had to say about druids.
They were the savages, the least scholarly, and most uncivilized of mages.

No. He was trying to keep the circulation going in his legs.
Ginger Complex: Ages as he took notes-[d]
Halo of Noire: "Druids do derive their abilities from a divine source, some
do revere nature gods or goddesses though, and all respect Nature. Druids are
creatures of Balance, and as such they are usually neutral aligned." She
nodded to Agry and

it was right back to the current discussion and resulting answer.
Halo of Noire: on a constant quest for knowledge, wisdom and truth. Druids

are an intellectual magic class. They are many things...priests and

OnlineHost: AIl Apologies has entered the room.
LegacyofBIue: "Bards." The words were murmured out as select paragraphs in
research were recalled. No written notes were taken; what a Druid was was
well known to her.
Halo of Noire: "Yes, I haven't gotten to that yet."
Halo of Noire: "But I will now! Druids, when they grow in some power, do
gain the ability to shapeshift. At first only once maybe twice a day and as
they grow they can shift into more creatures for longer periods of time. What
they shift into

earlier though we think druid we think forest -- not all druids are forest
dwellers. There are arctic druids, desert or wasteland druids, subterranean
druids, mountain druids
Halo of Noire: and grassland or plains druids, coastal druids...and yes,
forest druids. Any and all nature, can have it's protector, a druid. What
kind of druid they are determines also their main weapon, but as we are
focusing on magic we won't

20 years before they gain the white robes of a druid. Training to be a druid

they earn their whites. Children as young as 5 or 6 years old started

Halo of Noire: "The number three is very important to druids, and two of
their main symbols show this...the awen and the triskele."
Halo of Noire: "Any questions so far?"
Starberry Loops: ?
Ginger Complex: ---From where he was, he spied Alexis---aww she was the
taller huggy woman he remebered--a wiggle of those fingers before he went
back to listening to the lessons played out, head curiously tilted now as he
watched in anticipation.

Halo of Noire: "Druid is a path one chooses."
OnlineHost: Tender N Wicked has left the room.
LegacyofBIue: Her head shook in negation. such lovely stories were recalled
that she nearly missed the finger wiggling of Buki. Catching sight of him,
she was tempted to dash over and wrap his cute as a button self up in a bear
hug, but she

question."
OnlineHost: Tender N Wicked has entered the room.
LegacyofBIue: refrained. It was learning time after all. Instead, she waved
back with a wink.
Coolguy1john: ::He saids "Blade Sage and He saids "Which Element did druids
mostly use?::"
Agnes Clayborn: Agnes was simply absorbing it all, her eyes flickered toward
those that spoke up and asked questions. She always seemed to return those
eyes back to Mela. {f}
Halo of Noire: "Depends on what type of druid they are. A druid of the
arctic wastes would use water and ice, perhaps air more. A druid from the
tunnels below, may choose earth. Which, leads us into what I wish to say
next. There are various types

the earth. After all, nature has produced the metal, yes? A druid who focuses
on metals and ores may be able to have a spell that gives them an Iron Body

She paused,
Halo of Noire: flipping her page.

companion. These

bioluminescence. Or produce pollen dust as a distraction to enemies. They may
hold poison, or have

also could have tremorsense allowing their druid an even greater knowledge of

druids?"

LegacyofBIue: "Technically yes, though if they continue to go against the
grain of their circle or unit, they may be expulsed from it, or suffer

more renegade than the

A Dark Orb: ::He'd put his own hand down, that was about what he was going

Halo of Noire: "Yes, most if not all circles will expel a druid that turns
evil. And, notice that I say 'turns'. Most if not all "evil" druids, were not

to nature. They

the darkness and of evil or less than good paths call to us. Sometimes, they
wish more power.
Coolguy1john: ::He gets up comes down from the bleachers and Walks pass them
towards the exit and sits outside::"
Halo of Noire: Most times, something drastic happens to them. A druid who
has their grove burned and destroyed, will more than likely have something
within them change. Perhaps they go stark raving mad. Say that a group of
drow burn down a
Halo of Noire: druid's grove. A druid could go so insane with anger that he
only thinks of revenge. And not just revenge against the ones that destroyed
his natural habitat, but against all drow. The anger and hatred and thirst
for revenge taints

a druid turns completely evil, they are known as Dark Side Druids. A Dark

ritual sacrifices for

tear out the entrails, and read them for signs. Some may do this to gain the
favor of a certain darker deity. Now, there are some mages that power
themselves off

power. A drunk, very little power. The higher level spell they wish to

FaytedWhispers: Looking over to her Lacey she would give a small nudge
making sure the girl was still alert before dropping her head back down to
her notes.
Angelic Omicidio: But Stasia was coming to the 'dark side', they had
cookies.
Halo of Noire: "Agnes."
BellaRemorse: She'd make her own damned cookies.
Agnes Clayborn: " If a druid has turned to the darker side, is there any way
at all of guiding them back ? Or are they simply lost forever?"
Lacey DeGuar: Nudged and body jiggles a bit to the opposite side. Spacey
Lacey for the moment.[d]
Halo of Noire: "I would say that given the nature of most humanoids, that
there is always a chance for hope or redemption. Some who may go to the dark
side while wishing for revenge, who limit that to only a small group, once
that is done they may
Halo of Noire: settle and realize what they've done. It depends on the
person I'd say. And, as druids like to say, there is a little darkness in the
light, and there is a little light in the darkness. If you understand what I
