  • Kestrel N'hya Loriah (Kestrel, Daughter of the House of Loriah)
    Kestrel N'hya Loriah (Kestrel, Daughter of the House of Loriah) Class Cleric Level: 7th Deity: Maldina Align: Lawful Good * Weapons: Sword & Shield / 2 swords Garb: Blue & White, with silver. Other Names Kestrel was baptized Mercy MacAllister, but had her name formally changed by Hawk, the High Priest at the Temple at Mount Tarenya when she was accepted there. Only a handful of people know Kestrel by the name Mercy. (PCs: Silence Cornelius, Padraig MacAllister, Sebastian Brookdale. NPCs: Bishop Cornelius, Baron Caruthers, Constant MacLarrin) Detect Magic: Kestrel herself (innate abilities, Wind Elemental & matoo on left wrist), her outer garment (Robe of Power & Breakthrough Rune Card), headband holy symbol, Dove Totem necklace, armor, silver sword, all 3 rings worn, 2 rosette pins on either breast, bag of healing draughts. (See Attached Magic Item List) Current EXP: EXP for 8th: Psychological profile: Due to the events of her childhood, she has an intense fear of imprisonment and a very high tolerance for pain. She has a deep sense of caring for children, and a strong maternal instinct. *She will not tolerate seeing a child abused, and will do anything – including break laws – to protect them. She is a little shy of men - her only past sexual experience (other than an assault at age 19 and her ‘Dream World’ liaisons with Sebastian) is tending victims of sexual assaults and delivering children. She currently has twin burdens of responsibility that weigh upon her heavily: First, she is the highest level (active PC) Cleric of her faith. Secondly, Sebastian has asked her aid in guarding a Grimoire of dark magic, which is being pursued by both traitorous members of the Order of the Mithril Arrow, and an entire nation of Drow Elves.

  • Crescent Lake/North Platte National Wildlife Refuge Complex
    CRESCENT LAKE/NORTH PLATTE NATIONAL WILDLIFE REFUGE COMPLEX Scottsbluff, Nebraska CRESCENT LAKE NATIONAL WILDLIFE REFUGE Ellsworth, Nebraska NORTH PLATTE NATIONAL WILDLIFE REFUGE Minatare, Nebraska (jA&tt;aoorof\ OFFICE ANNUAL NARRATIVE REPORT Calendar Year 1995 U.S. Department of the Interior Fish and Wildlife Service NATIONAL WILDLIFE REFUGE SYSTEM REVIEW AND APPROVALS CRESCENT LAKE/NORTH PLATTE NATIONAL WILDLIFE REFUGE COMPLEX Scottsbluff, Nebraska ANNUAL NARRATIVE REPORT Calendar Year 1995 KMuM ichlfj ProjectProiec Leader Date e Manager Date tA 9/96=. ^/^egional Office Approval Date n o r1 w x INTRODUCTION Crescent Lake and North Platte Refuges (Complex) have been a complex since the creation of Crescent Lake Refuge in 1931. For most of the Complex history, the emphasis was concentrated at Crescent Lake while the North Platte Refuge was considered "other duty as assigned". In 1985 an agreement with the Bureau of Reclamation (Bureau) was implemented replacing the Bureau with the Service as the primary jurisdiction agency. With this, the North Platte NWR began demanding ever increasing amounts of funding and staff power. It seemed the more involved the Service became at North Platte NWR, the more problems and opportunities were discovered, demanding more involvement. In 1992, the decision was made to establish a Complex Office nearer to the North Platte NWR, which by this time was demanding more time of the Project Leader than Crescent Lake NWR. The move also solved another major problem: recruiting for the Project Leader and Office Assistant position. Historically, it has been difficult to fill vacancies in these positions due to the isolation of Crescent Lake NWR, especially for families with children.

  • The Raptor, Please Consider This Before You Turn It Into a Paper Aeroplane And/Or Rip It Up
    THE HARROWRAPTOR WAY’S NEWSLETTER FOR THE S T UDENTS BY THE STUDENTS VOLUME 2 - ISSUE 8 JULY 2015 HAWKS RUFFLE BUZZARDS IMPORTANT DATES SOME IMPORTANT DATES FEATHERS Etc. On the 3rd of July, battle lines were drawn at Harrow Way. Rivalries were resurrected and friendships were tested. Yes, it was our annual Sports Day event. There were such events as tug of war, softball and hurdles to distinguish the professionals from the amateurs. Hawks, who beat the Buzzards in ‘the best Sports Day ever’ as it has been dubbed, broke a three-year reign of Buzzards championship. On the day, when I interviewed members from each team, I concluded that each house has high opinions of themselves, with one particularly exuberant Year 7 saying, “Kestrels are the best and will win because we are fabulous!” There were many vibrant, multi-coloured banners pre-made by each of the houses, with Kestrels being particularly eye catching and artistic (not that I am biased at all!) HOUSE POINTS All teachers brought in red, blue or yellow clothing to support their chosen team, with Mr Manson even rewarding students with red sweets too! The first winner for Tug of War was Kestrels Year 7 group A, but I had to leave my spectator post at that point, as I was BUZZARDS - 2480 participating in the tug of war myself.
