Game Update #57 in sequence (file #249)
----------------------------------------------------------------
Admin notes: None.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
[Recap]
From Chion: [Re: Actions]
Chion says, "Everyone touch me, bring Strei'bogs mother too.
We shall teleport outside the cabin. Make sure everyone is
touching." And he will prepare the casting of the teleport
(another short 1 phase one, not a huge one).
GM: Ack. I emailed you on the 1 phase EL which would only
allow 1 inclusion. 2 phases 6 inclusions. :<
-------------------------------
From Z'leyra: [Re: Actions]
Knowing that Strie'bog's mother would likely have a high magical
defense Z'leyra chooses to take the spider out of the equation
by casting Insubstantiability (EL1) on it through her staff so
that it won't be able to physically harm the lady. If necessary
Z'leyra will then cast a levitate on herself, the wolf and the
spider and move them all out of the building.
GM: Ack.
-------------------------------
From Strie'bog: [Re: Actions]
Strie'bog hesitates when he realizes what the spider could do.
Seeing Z'leyra casting, he waits a moment before acting. He
hears Chion, and will get his mother if Z'leyra can deal with
the spider. Otherwise, pulling off his cloak, he will wrap his
hand in it and try to capture the spider (putting his hand
between the spider and his mother). Then get his mother out
and over to Chion.
GM: Ack.
-------------------------------
From Ben'dar: [Re: Actions]
Though his first impulse is to reach down and grab the Green
Lady by her feet and pull her out of the hole, Ben'Dar pauses
when he sees the spider. Hearing Chion mention teleportation,
he nods emphatically and yells in reply, "Yes, magic us out of
here!" Dropping his pike, he grasps Farseeker's arm and reaches
down with his other hand to grasp Streibog's mother's foot.
If the teleport doesn't work, he will haul the woman out of the
hole, ignoring the spider, and sling her over his shoulder, and
run out of the cabin.
GM: Ack. Hey got you some experience! :)
-------------------------------
From Arawn: [Re: Actions]
If the others are unable to separate the spider from Strie'bog's
mother then Arawn will offer to attempt to cast Transmutation on
It and turn it into a stone spider.
Once she is safe Arawn will leave with the others if there is
space for him in a Teleport. Otherwise he will attempt to flee
through the open door or turn Insubstantial if he has the
mana/energy left.
GM: Ack.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
[New Stuff]
[Decalis 16th, 107th day since left Marentia, 42nd day of
Adventure #3 of the 1633rd year [TH].]
[Location: Pavassa Forest - Eastern Edge/On Plains]
[Time - 10:09am]
Turn 4: Phase 4
[Mana Allocation] - None
[Arawn and Z'leyra allocate mana for spells.]
[Missile Fire ] - None
[Magic Effect ] -
[Z'leyra sees the Spider and is concerned about it.
She knows the spider is likely caught in Chion's
Time Stop spell. But she also knows once it is
teleported outside it will be free of the spell
and likely will react right away. She shifts her
insubstantial leg to the wolf and moves her staff
down to the spider. She casts another Insubstantial
spell within the insubstantial spell and the ghostly
staff makes contact with the spider sinking into it
ever so slightly. But the spider seems to retain its
full ugly mass.]
[Arawn sees the spider as well in the darkness with his
better sidh eyes. A second before he sees Z'leyra
try something but it fails. He quickly casts a
transmutation spell onto the spider and points to it.
with the final word the spider's body and legs turn
to solid grey and black stone.]
[The heat spell activates making the cabin seem to
blaze in the mid-90s in degrees. Arawn's skin
sizzles just as he completes his spell and he takes
6 points of damage. Ben'dar's skin sizzles as well
and blisters with 6 more points of damage. Strie'bog
takes another point of heat damage. Outside Unali
is affected by the heat and her hands and arms blister
making 2 points of damage.]
[Melee & Movement]-
[Corona takes to the air and circles the cabin and
sees Unali on the other side. The large eagle
dives and flaps its wings at Unali.]
[Another log falls down the north wall of the work
room the party is in hitting the table.]
[One log falls in the north east corner of the wall
down the north wall. At the same time another log
falls onto the door of the room causing the door
to tear from its hinges and break half way off
lying on its side at a bad angle. The log is 45
degrees south of the door so to exit folks will have
to bend down and get through the door.]
[Chion quickly speaks.]
Chion: "Everyone touch me, bring Strei'bogs mother too.
We shall teleport outside the cabin. Make sure everyone
is touching."
[He prepares to cast the spell next phase.]
GM: Took the 3 seconds to speak above.
[One log would have fall right onto Z'leyra, Wolf,
Chion, Arawn and Thig if the time spell hadn't
prevented it from falling.]
[Z'leyra sighs at the spell failure and knows better
next time. But it was worth the experiment.]
[Another log falls dead center in the room but no
where near anyone. This one falls flat on the ground.]
[Farseeker moves a couple of feet closer to Chion.]
[One log falls behind Chion but the range of the spell
only allows half of it to move and dangle oddly
by magic in the air without falling further as part
of the log is out of the spells range and part isn't.]
[Unali hears flapping. Drawing back from the heat pain
she drops the shovel fearing the crow or another
bird may be attacking her. She pulls out her dagger
and looks up just in time to see Corona fly overhead
about 3 feet above her. Confused she watches it
take to the air and gets a tingle from the dagger as
it warns her of danger. She glances around quickly
and sees nothing but hears a crack from the wall.
By instinct she jumps back just as the wall directly
in front of her collapses and 3 heavy logs roll where
she was just a second ago. It might not have killed
her but it would've hurt. The dagger warned her of
the danger or did Corona? She looks a the wall and
sees some red hair?]
[Ben'dar quickly replies as he sees the north wall seem
to buckle and collapse.]
Ben'dar: "Yes, magic us out of here!"
[He grabs his pike and grabs hold of Farseeker and
leans down to protect/shield and grab Strie'bog's
mother in hopes someone touches Farseeker which will
affect him in a teleport.]
[Another part of the north west wall collapses as
one log tumbles outside.]
[One log falls in the north east corner of the room
crushing the small cabinet to pieces.]
[Another log falls center of the work table and
hits the table hanging down from what little
remains of the roof.]
[Arawn knows time is running out. He estimates how
much Chion can teleport with time left and who would
be left inside and calculates his next move.]
[Just 2 feet behind Ben'dar a log half way moves as
part of its caught in the time spell and surely
would've landed on Strie'bog's mother. But only
the south end of the log slides down the wall
a foot or two as its not affected by the spell.
But the full log would move once Chion is gone.]
[Strie'bog sees the spider turned to stone and bashes
it away with his hand. He then grabs onto his
mother and with strength that seems to come from
adrenaline, tension and nerves causing him to
be almost super human as he hauls his sleeping mother
out of the hole by her arms. With a struggle he
gets her shifted up and out of the hole and touching
Chion's boots. Panting he looks up at Chion and
prays he can get her out.]
------------------
Turn 5: Phase 1
[Mana Allocation] - None
[Arawn, Chion, Thig, Strie'bog and Z'leyra quickly
allocate mana for spells.]
[Missile Fire ] - None
[Magic Effect ] -
[Thig now standing grabs Ben'dar's arm and casts
a teleport spell as he is the closest. But
as he ends the spell nothing happens.]
[Strie'bog knows his mother will be leaving with
Chion but knows Farseeker can't touch Chion due
to a log in his way. He casts a Translocation
spell and turns to touch Farseeker in the spell.
Both he and Farseeker teleport outside of the cabin.]
[Arawn casts Insubstantial on himself.]
[Z'leyra casts Levitation on herself and the wolf
caught in her Insubstantial spell.]
[Chion is the last to cast his spell saving the last
word to see how the others fare. He knows a quick
spell he'll be able to only take 1 but with the
room going fast he doesn't have time for a longer
spell. Reaching down he touches Strie'bog's mother
and casts Teleport. He and the Green Lady disappear
and find themselves outside.]
[The heat spell causes Thig's skin to blister as
the temperature rises now it seems into the triple
digit range. Ben'dar sweating isn't affected.]
[Melee & Movement]-
[Ben'dar turns to see Thig touching him and figures
a spell has failed. Chion went poof so maybe he
couldn't take him. He sighs as he finds Farseeker
and Strie'bog disappear as well. He sees Arawn
and Z'leyra in ghost form. So this is how it ends.
Crushed by logs in some strange cabin? At least
it was heroic and for a good cause. At least she
is safe. Maybe there will be something left for
Z'leyra to heal? Suddenly all around him a dozen
more logs fall. The west wall of the room collapses
and shows the storage room. He then realizes that
the logs overhead are shifting. Surprised they
didn't fall before (unless it was some magic?) he
notices one is directly over Thig. Thig being a
small person may not survive such a hit. Without
thinking he leaps toward Thig and pushes him eastward
out of the way as the 6 foot log falls. Thig goes
flying off his feet onto his rear just as a log
hits Ben'dar in his back and rolls down one leg.
the log lands on his right leg and crushes the leg
doing 5 points of damage. Ben'dar feels pain roll
up his leg into his back but as he sees Thig safely
away his eyes darken and all sense fades...]
[Thig moves to the prone form of Ben'dar and tries
to lift the heavy log but struggles with it.]
[All the while about 20 more logs fall in this room
alone. Two logs fall directly down through
Z'leyra and the wolf but being insubstantial they
are not hit. By now 85% of the roof seems to be
in holes.]
-------------------
Turn 5: Phase 2
[Turning north Z'leyra moves herself and the wolf
via levitation outside through the north wall and
past Unali. She doesn't realize the scene behind
as dust and debris is everywhere.]
[Arawn casts levitation and moves as well through
the north wall.]
GM: Hope this is ok. You weren't in ICQ to confirm.
[Thig touches Ben'dar and both him and Ben'dar
teleport outside to safety.]
-----------------------------------------------------
[Combat ends as part of the party is found north of
the cabin and others are in the south west corner
of the cabin in the open. Within jut 20 seconds
the rest of the cabin collapses fully creating a
large dust cloud. The west portion of the cabin
remains in darkness from Strie'bog's darkness spell for
about 30 more seconds.]
[In total almost 230 logs fall from the roof in a span
of 18 seconds. The great bulk of the 140 logs just
in the main room. The walls domino and collapse in
various patterns as well as the building materials
seem to melt from the heat spell. Those near the cabin
find once the dust settles the temperature begins to
drop as the heat ward seems to be done or with no roof
as a position for its focus it simply stops.]
[In just 5 phases the first bedroom has no roof. It
takes 5 for the storage. It takes only 4 phases for
the second bedroom to lose its roof. The main large
room takes the longest to lose its structure with
20 logs falling in the last 3 seconds. The work
room where the party is only takes 5 phases which is
just one more phase past when Thig and Ben'dar safely
escape. Making their escape very close. When the
dust settles only 2 logs seem to remain in the entire
roof's cabin in the main room. They remain on the
roof by sheer will it seems. At least 85% of the walls
are down or destroyed. Furniture is crushed. Some
pieces of furniture like chairs are virtually destroyed.]
[As the party escapes folks are checked over...]
