Your intellect and generosity astounds me.

For the benefit of the public since this is a public post allow me to
explain why I'm so astounded.

Admittedly I'm still unsure why Herose was motivated to do something
quite so stupid, but I think he might have been chasing one of our Naga.
Whatever the reason, ya'll are gonna love is tactics.

So I'm standing over by Maric having a training session with Groukar, an
orc worker within our city, and I see Herose and Sucellos walk up. I was
swamped in business but I assumed they were escorted and I just couldn't
see the escort. (Such is a failure of the monk eyes, unfortunately. We
can train our bodies, but our eyesight leave much to be desired) He
asked me where to find a room that I recognized to be one within the
Naga guildhall. I told him I believed that to be in the Naga guildhall
and that I wouldn't take him there, even if I could, and I can't. Our GH
doors are intelligent, Magically Sealed doors and will not open unless
it recognizes that you belong within them. He addressed the question
again, with a harsher tone, demanding directions to its location. Thats
when I did quick look around and then inquired who Herose and Sucellos
were being escorted by. He refused to answer me and pushed again, saying
for me to lead him to the Naga GH, demanding it. I thought, "How odd
that Herose was so Kind hearted as to donate plants for the tournament
prize packages and then turns out to be so very stupid as to walk IN To
Mhaldor, during Martial Law, and make rude demands of one of her
leaders" and so told him again he had to leave. He refused and again
pushed for directions or me to take him to the room he wished to get to.
Astounded at this I asked directly, "Are you refusing?" and when I
recieved my confirmation I simply called the Guards on both Herose and
Sucellos sent them on their way. 5k Fine from each of you now if you
wish me to convince the guards not to attack you on sight next time you
come. Sucellos, I do apologize for your experience loss, my friend. You
were caught in an unpleasant situation. But you and I have cleared this
air, so I'm certain all's well. I thank -you- for your common sense!

So then Herose sends me a tell griping and complaining to which I
finally, in a quite loud and distinct tone, outlined his various very
bad mistakes, and explained to him why what happened, had happened. He
finally realized I was right, apologized and noted his behaviour was
uncalled. Then requested his prize donations back. He had donated a
group of 50 lobelia and a group of 50 elm to the prize packs which are
being used in the 3rd place finishers' prizes. So I told him "OF COURSE"
and have since mailed him his group of plants. 3rd place finishers,
Monks of the world, Herose admits his wrongdoing and then purposefully
decides to stab you in the back. Why? Out of anger? Shame perhaps? I
don't see his logic, so I'm not sure. Do not fret, however, I'm certain
someone else will step up to fill the gap before the prize allocation
ceremony but-- if no one ELSE will I will. The Tanjinn do not have a
lack of plants, that is for sure, so I don't mind putting even more
Tanjinn resources into seeing that this tournament goes off smoothly,
and your prizes are held to their integrity.

Tranq, Galrog, Skarash... You all have so much class and dignity most of
the time, why dont you share some with some of your youngins, as this
one seems to be lacking just a bit.
