[Recap] - None<br>
[New Stuff - Current Situation]<br>
<br>
From Jordi: [Re:
Actions]<br>
After
disengaging, Jordi places himself inmediately in a<br>
defensive
stance; he places his body in a 90 degrees angle<br>
respect the
line of advance of the monster, offering the<br>
monster the
left side of his body, covering it with his<br>
shield,
while he prepares his sword for a counterattack as<br>
soon as the
monster begins his attack. Jordi has discovered<br>
too late
that this foe is perhaps too strong for himself;<br>
his
intention is to make it lost as much time as posible,<br>
so the rest
of the party can kill the evil clyman priestesses.<br>
<br>
(OOC: I have
no real experience in fencing, just in case you<br>
guess...).<br>
<br>
"Elf
creature. It is just you and me. What destiny do you<br>
seek?"<br>
<br>
Jordi is
surprised to understand the monster; however, he is<br>
more
surprised to know that the monster has some degree of<br>
curiosity. He decides again to gain time for the rest of<br>
his
buddies. The more time he entertains the monster, the<br>
better. About what to answer, Jordi decides to empathize<br>
with his
enemy, and try to answer something that the monster<br>
can
understand and accept.<br>
<br>
(OOC: try to
use the "read intent" elf innate ability in a<br>
subtle
and non-obvious way...)<br>
<br>
"My
inmediate destiny is to seek revenge from the people who<br>
kidnapped me. I'm too young to worry about long-term
planning."<br>
<br>
(Note: Jordi
has actor level 4; he tries to seem as sure of<br>
himself and resolute as posible...)<br>
<br>
(OOC: the
second part of the answer is 100% true; I didn't<br>
supplied any long term goal for Jordi. The first part is<br>
true,
but it's not all the true. Obviously, Jordi wants to<br>
stop
the evil clyman plans and he also wants to protect his<br>
people
and his friends.)<br>
<br>
jordi
decides to win some more time for his friends, and tries<br>
to engage in
conversation with the monster, saying something<br>
brilliant to
keep its attention:<br>
<br>
"You're
very interested in my person, considering you can<br>
kill
me easily."<br>
<br>
(OOC: Jordi
remembers his uncle advice of trying to make your<br>
opponent confident about his chances to take him by surprise<br>
... it
will be a miracle that it works, but your never know...)<br>
<br>
"Perhaps you don't like the way the woman disturbed you? Or<br>
perhaps there is something more?"<br>
<br>
(OOC:
Arggghhh! I can't think in anything brilliant!) (OOC:<br>
What
are the chances, due the distance between the monster<br>
and
Jordi, to use "enter lower/upper world" and exit this<br>
dire
situation?)<br>
GM: Ack. <br>
------------------------------------------------------------<br>
<br>
From Z'leyra: [Re:
Actions]<br>
Z'leyra will
help finish off the remaining guards. Then<br>
if no one
desperately needs her healing she will go after<br>
the
priestess, casting invisibility on herself once well<br>
past the
greenstriped torches.<br>
<br>
Presuming
that Z'leyra catches up with the priestess and<br>
is invisible
she will attempt a surprise attack from the<br>
back.
Preferably while the priestess and bodyguard are<br>
distracted
by the arrival of other party members.<br>
GM: Ack.<br>

Time: Estimated 7:07am-7:22am
- Morning Day 22<br>
<br>
[Level 7]<br>
<br>
Turn 2: Phase 4<br>
<br>
[Thig now done with Cholan re-enters
the hallway and then<br>
flies westward.]<br>
<br>
[Triest thrusts at Guard #8 but
misses by a good half foot<br>
as he tries to step to the
side to avoid a backstab from<br>
the other guard.]<br>
<br>
[Unali swings both daggers at Guard
#8 but in the midst of<br>
the various bodies around her
and the guard she does not<br>
hit with any of them.]<br>
<br>
[Neva puts her bow on her back and
rushes to the mound of sand<br>
and debris. She looks
desperately for Jordi and doesn't find<br>
him and starts to crawl and
grab at the rocks and sand.]<br>
<br>
[Caladan swings warstaff level to
the guard #7's chest and<br>
smacks the guard hard enough
to do 6 points past the chain<br>
mail. The guard goes
flying back about a foot and hits<br>
the ground and slumps.]<br>
<br>
[Wi swings on guard #8 but fails to
hit.]<br>
<br>
[Chion gets up and wonders what just
happened to Cholan.]<br>
<br>
[Kasha examines the conference
room. On the far north wall<br>
in back of the room he notices
a set of maps and scrolls<br>
on a billboard type piece of
long board. A nice looking<br>
map of the sea of tears.
Finding no one he heads to the door.]<br>
<br>
[Cholan looks around and notices he
is back in the stairs area<br>
but unsure how he got
here. He stands and looks for his<br>
axe but doesn't find
it.]<br>
<br>
[Z'leyra grabs her staff and shield
and heads back into the<br>
hallway to help the
others.]<br>
<br>
[Suresh thrusts at guard #8 in chain
and cuts a deep wound<br>
doing 5 points past the
armor. This is the final blow<br>
to kill the guard.]<br>
<br>
[Shah steps over the body and moves
between Triest and Unali<br>
and rounds Triest to swing at
the last guard but fails to<br>
hit at all.]<br>
<br>
[Aren heads back into the main
hallway.]<br>
<br>
[Xian runs toward the debris and
rocks and helps Neva to<br>
try and see who may be under
it.]<br>
<br>
[Amin feeling better stands and
grabs his sword.]<br>
<br>
[Dax returns following Aren out of
Room G]<br>
<br>
[Guard #16 turns and swings on Shah
but fails to hit.]<br>
<br>
Turn 3: Phase 1<br>
<br>
[Thig flies toward the rock debris
and looks around with<br>
repeating crossbow in
hand.]<br>
Thig: "What's
wrong?"<br>
<br>
[Triest now turns around and tries a
quick thrust at Guard #16<br>
but the scimitar only smacks
loudly against the guard's<br>
buckler.]<br>
<br>
[Unali steps left a few feet and
then tries to bash the last<br>
guard with both daggers.
One in the right hand misses<br>
completely but the left hits
the shoulder but does no<br>
damage at least that it
seems.]<br>
<br>
[Neva without looking yells to Thig
while trying to claw at<br>
the sand and moving
rocks.]<br>
Neva: "Jordi.
Dig!"<br>
<br>
[Caladan swings widely his staff at
guard #16 but it slips<br>
a inch from him misjudging the
distance.]<br>
<br>
[Wi runs around Caladan and tries to
backstab guard #16 and<br>
does with the sword
penetrating in the lower left liver<br>
area doing 7 points of
damage. The guard yelps out in pain.]<br>
<br>
[Chion stands around near the
door.]<br>
<br>
[Kasha re-enters the hallway and
sees Aren and Dax right there<br>
by the door. He spots
the trio at the rock debris and think<br>
someone must be buried.
He runs that way and puts his mace<br>
on his belt notch.]<br>
<br>
[Cholan reenters the hallway and
looks for his axe.]<br>
<br>
[Z'leyra heads westward and tries to
get into position to help<br>
against the last guard but
doesn't reachim quiet yet.]<br>
<br>
[Suresh heads north then west past
Z'leyra to also get into<br>
a good position.]<br>
<br>
[Shah thrusts at Guard #16 and the
sword penetrates deep into<br>
the guard's side, through
ribs, lungs and the other side.<br>
Doing a devastating 15 points
of damage. The guard is killed<br>
before the sword gets halfway
through.]<br>
<br>
<br>
[Xian turns to see the guard falls and yells
back to the others]<br>
Xian: "Help us! Jordi may be
here."<br>
<br>
[Aren moves forward and then realizes no one is
watching the other<br>
end of the hallway.]<br>
Aren: "Dax, Amin, and others not helping
watch out over there."<br>
<br>
[Combat ends and normal time begins back]<br>
<br>
[With everyone helping but Chion who seems to
still be in the<br>
stairs area the debris is quickly
cleared. Those on the left<br>
side notice the guard that was there is
crushed flat and<br>
obviously dead as blood is
everywhere. A minute later after<br>
about three dozen rocks are moved and a
large boulder by<br>
5 of the party that shifts most of the
sand farseeker is<br>
found. Amazingly he is still
breathing. Unsure how this<br>
can be after such weight (though most of
it was sand directly<br>
over him and slightly soft sand). He
was in a curled position<br>
with head and knees touching. The
party helps him out and<br>
he starts to get his wind back. His
clothing, great sword<br>
and chainmail are gone. As well as
the gear of the guard.<br>
Even his clothing is gone. Luckilly
he only really carried<br>
his water bottle, weapons and armor on
him. As his gear was<br>
left in the sea cave.]<br>
<br>
Xian: "How?"<br>
Farseeker: "I saw the door disintegrate...I
then heard the<br>
rumbling above...I figured I
didn't..have much chance...<br>
so balled up and somehow a air
pocket was there to allow<br>
me to breath but..it was running out
fast...thanks..hrm..<br>
would ..anyone have a spare set of
pants and tunic?..."<br>
<br>
Caladan: "I've heard of such a spell.
Destruction used by<br>
evil wizards. It destroys
things like walls. In this<br>
case your stuff."<br>
Xian: "So when it destroyed the area here
it created a hole<br>
of some kind and the rocks formed
around it. Interesting."<br>
Aren: "Are you hurt?..more?"<br>
Farseeker: "just bruises it seems. My
strength was about to<br>
go out...if it did I'd be crushed
and could not hold it<br>
anymore from crushing
me."<br>
<br>
Neva: "Wheres Jordi!?"<br>
Caladan: "I saw him here then ..not
sure."<br>
Xian: "I saw it. The creature opened
some portal and grabbed<br>
Jordi and went through
it."<br>
Neva: "To where?"<br>
Thig: "Creature?"<br>
Xian: "The priestess summoned it apparently
it."<br>
Thig: "And it formed a portal? Sounds
like a Asaghi. If it<br>
came here they have the power to
travel back to their place<br>
of origin. To the
..upper world likely. Priestess?"<br>
Xian: "Yeah they ran down the
hall."<br>
<br>
[Triest having looked down the hall quickly
discovers where<br>
the others went to. He sees a
hallway gong westward but<br>
finds no one. But he sees a
door. There in the hallway<br>
is the bodyguard just standing there
holding battleaxe in<br>
hand. He is about 22 feet from th e
door just standing<br>
and smiling. Triest aims his newly
loaded crossbow and<br>
fires at the bodyguard but as the arrow
flies toward it<br>
just dissolves into dust as it gets 20
feet from the bodyguard.]<br>
<br>
Triest: "Guys. Come here."<br>
[The party peers down the hall taking
turns...]<br>
Thig: "The priestess is either behind the
guard or in that room.<br>
If he is using the spell now
anything approaching him is<br>
going to go into
nothingness."<br>
Aren: "How long can it last?"<br>
<br>
[Suddenly the bodyguard laughs and yells in
Climan]<br>
Bodyguard: "Come! Your too
late. The sacriface is about to<br>
start!" [He points to the door
and the room nearby that<br>
the party sees.]<br>
Caladan: "Obvious trick. We
approach he approaches and then<br>
we lose stuff like
Farseeker. Dispell the spell?"<br>
Xian: "Not this distance unless you
have good experience in<br>
the dispell area?"<br>
Triest: "Neva can you fire rapldly
your bow and see where the<br>
zone of the spell ends and
goes?"<br>
[Thig translates the word zone to Neva as
she seems confuses.<br>
adn then she nods. She fires 3
times at the bodyguard.<br>
Each dissolving into dust. it
seems the spell stretches<br>
from wall to wall. No way to
get past the bodyguard.]<br>
<br>
[Dax brings some clothing off a male
guard. Farseeker tries<br>
to fit into it but the tunic is a
bit tight but wearable.<br>
He grabs the females great sword as
his own and then tries<br>
to get the chainmail off the guard
who took the least damage<br>
to the armor (#16).]<br>
<br>
Xian: "Ideas? I've always
wanted to summon something myself.<br>
How about a Ahuras or
something to get the bodyguard?<br>
Unless you guys have a better
plan."<br>
<br>
<br>
---------------------------<br>
<br>
[Jordi looks around. No way
out. Jordi tries to read the<br>
creature and finds him calm
and aloof. He seems to be<br>
distracted as well.
Jordi realizes something else must<br>
be going on here.]<br>
Jordi: "My inmediate destiny is
to seek revenge from the<br>
people who kidnapped
me. I'm too young to worry about<br>
long-term
planning."<br>
Creature: "So then you seek
revenge on me? For I have kidnapped<br>
you. Are you then
prepared?"<br>
Jordi: "You're very interested
in my person, considering you can<br>
kill me
easily."<br>
Creature: "Yes. I think
you will be my next So'la Tor. My<br>
first seems to be of
little use anymore."<br>
[The creature waves a arm and
in the corner about 30 feet<br>
away a wall of crystal
disappears. A small alcove is seen<br>
where a person is on the
wall. Jordi looks over. An<br>
illusion or rather was
an illusion before? Wait! That<br>
person in chains is no
person but a female Elf! She is<br>
gagged and has chains on
each of her hands over her head<br>
and chains on her legs
tied to the wall. She shakes her<br>
head at Jordi and looks
desperate. Jordi turns back to<br>
the creature.]<br>
Jordi: "Perhaps you don't
like the way the woman disturbed you?<br>
Or perhaps there
is something more?"<br>
<br>
Creature: "Whoever bought
me to you was wake and did not know<br>
I could free
myself of the chains of command." [He walks<br>
to the side
slightly. He waves his hand again and then<br>
looks
angry...Jordi realizes he must've failed a spell<br>
or is flinging
something off his claw?]<br>
<br>
[Jordi eyes the Elf
again. Her robe is white and seems to<br>
be older than
usual. He turns back to the creature and<br>
wonders if he can flee
the area. The distance between<br>
the creature and him is
about 30 feet. The creature would<br>
have to dodge
staglamites and such to get to Jordi but<br>
jordi would likely move
first. But should he leave with<br>
this new elf in the
area?]<br>
<br>
Creature: "I'm a fair
being. I'll let her go if you stay<br>
in her place and
teach me your ways. You will be treated<br>
well but you will
have to remain here until I'm finished<br>
learning all that
you know. I seek only knowledge."<br>
<br>
[Jordi thinks. Could he
take the monster? Probably. It<br>
would be a rough
thing. But he only has a sword and Jordi<br>
has magic, sword and
shield. Better defensive position<br>
but th emonster has a
slight offensive edge with a possible<br>
strength edge? But
he can't free the elf without being<br>
attacked..what to
do..what to do..]<br>

Each Row = 20 feet. Each

The * is the stair entrance to 6.<br>
T = The gem or whatever inlaid against that fall
wall.<br>
<br>
Map Updated. As what is seen. <br>
<br>
Chion is still in the stairs area oblvious to
everything.<br>
The party is where PARTY is listed above in various
places.<br>
<br>
Ok. Something is going on in the room to the
south. The<br>
bodyguard is in the way though. Probably has a
good<br>
10-20 foot radius effect around him. The spell
length is<br>
unknown. Jordi has a decision to make. You
CAN flee<br>
but then if you flee to the lower world you have to
worry<br>
about the time effect and then worrying about getting
BACK<br>
to the right spot. Jordi need a map of your
situation?<br>
Say so before monday and I'll work on it for next
update.<br>
