Game Update #300 in sequence (file #496)<br>
----------------------------------------------------------------<br>
<br>
Admin notes: Thanks for the kind words. I
have survived it.<br>
We mainly got strong winds and lots of
rain. Many trees and<br>
limbs down in the area. As with last
hurricane 3 weeks ago we<br>
just got a grazing blow and the south of us got
bulk of it.<br>
Course now there is Hurricane Ivan out just
north of South America.<br>
Go figure. ANOTHER one expected to hit
land by this weekend.<br>
we shall see about this one. Might run out
of letters going to<br>
Z by end of hurricane season in November.
Whoever is casting these<br>
Hurricane spells can stop now. They
work. Personally we just<br>
got some massive wet ground so we lucked
out...for now...<br>
----------------------------update-------------------------------<br>
[Recap] - None<br>
[New Stuff - Current Situation]<br>
<br>
From Jordi: [Re:
Actions]<br>
I hope Francis (or
it was Frances?) doesn't touch land near<br>
your home. I
have seen it in TV, and they only show the nastier<br>
of the hurricanes,
so I'm a little bit worried. I hope you and<br>
your family will
be undamaged by the hurricane. Game:<br>
<br>
Jordi sees Xian
through the tears; he doesn't know how did the<br>
magician reach the
throne, but he knows that Xian is strong with<br>
magic, so Jordi
decides that it will be a good idea to distract<br>
the bodyguard and
the priesstess, so Xian can use his magic<br>
without being
disturbed. Also, winning time has the advantatge<br>
of giving time to
the rest of the party to arrive to help Jordi<br>
and Xian.
Four options:<br>
<br>
a) If Jordi sees
the priesstess and the bodyguard (I imagine<br>
that this is the
current situation). Jordi advances to the<br>
west (aproaching
both the priesstess and the bodyguard). The<br>
bodyguard is to
the right of Jordi, and the priesstess to his<br>
left. Jordi
uses his sword to make a wild swing to his right,<br>
to the general
direction where the bodyguard is; in fact, it's<br>
just a feint,
intended to make him lose his concentration, so<br>
he can use magic
(so no attack roll is needed); in fact, once<br>
Jordi is near
enough to the priesstess, he charges forward<br>
towards she,
trying to bash her with his shield, and trying to<br>
push her in the
flames direction; with luck, she will receive a<br>
lot of damage from
the fire, or at the very least, her spell of<br>
protection will be
negated (Jordi remembers that the priesstess<br>
the party
encountered earlier had to receive a lot of damage<br>
before her spell
was negated).<br>
<br>
b) Jordi only sees
the priesstess: Follow the same plan as in<br>
a) option, but
ignoring the bodyguard unless it appears when<br>
Jordi aproaches
the priesstess; if Jordi sees him, use a) option.<br>
<br>
c) Jordi only sees
the bodyguard: Jordi attacks him with his sword.<br>
<br>
d) Jordi doesn't
see the bodyguard or the priesstess: Cast<br>
another concealing mist spell.<br>
<br>
(OOC: Yes, I know
that not attacking the bodyguard is an anti-XP<br>
Maximization
option, but I always thougth -and I still think-<br>
that P&P is a
very "realistic" game in combat terms, so I try<br>
to make Jordi act
using the most common-sense tactics that I<br>
can -taking into
account that Jordi is an overconfident<br>
character-.)<br>
gM: More likely option
c. Clearly priestess vaguely. Ack.<br>
Thanks for the
words. <br>
<br>
From Z'leyra: [Re:
Actions]<br>
Z'leyra, seeing
the flames have died down runs in to attack<br>
the priestess and
her bodyguard.<br>
GM: Ack. <br>
<br>
From Ben'Dar: [Re:
Actions]<br>
Ben'Dar sees the
steam rising and realizes that the flames have<br>
been put out
somehow by the mist. He shifts course to head<br>
Northwest,
directly toward where he last saw the priestess<br>
standing. He
will approach somewhat cautiously (i.e. not running<br>
at full speed) due
to the lack of visibility. Ben'Dar doesn't<br>
want to spear one
of his friends accidentally in the blinding<br>
steam.<br>
<br>
Once he locates
either the priestess or the bodyguard within the<br>
steam, he will
attack with the spear.<br>
<br>
(OOC: I hope
everything is ok for you down in Florida. That<br>
hurricane looks
pretty nasty... Stay safe!)<br>
GM: Ack. Thanks<br>
<br>

Time: Estimated 7:20am-7:35am

Turn 2: Phase 1<br>
<br>
[Mana Allocation]<br>
<br>
[Bodyguard, and
Xian allocates Mana]<br>
<br>
[Missile Fire]<br>
<br>
[None]<br>
<br>
[Magic Effect]<br>
<br>
[Xian from his
downed position tries to dispell any magic<br>
that might
be from that gem on the throne but being down<br>
isn't sure i
it worked or not.]<br>
<br>
[The bodyguard
turns to Jordi and a whip of his hand he<br>
pulls out
his hand from the long flowing cape and points<br>
to
Jordi. He speaks a few words in climan and grins.<br>
But the grin
becomes a frown when Jordi's face does not<br>
change
expression.]<br>
<br>
GM: Grumble!
Picked his action and Jordi would know nothing<br>
of the
Climan Tongue! Dang DANG DANG! Oh well. It saved<br>
him
from that spell :) Can't give these bad guys a break. :<<br>
<br>
[Melee & Movement]<br>
<br>
[Thig flies
to the last pillar and burns the last green strip.<br>
As he
does this he sees the flame and stand he is holding<br>
go
from a green hue to trasnparancy.] <br>
<br>
[Farseeker
first then Triest moves second and both end up<br>
another 30 feet closer to the throne area.]<br>
<br>
[Unali moves
forward about 12 feet. She knows the steam<br>
is
still there and might be dangerous to end just within<br>
reach
of the two so she ends up near the pillar.]<br>
GM: I moved
you TO the pillar. You would not have reached<br>
a target this phase. Just out of reach. But next phase<br>
you will be able to move and have either of the targets.<br>
I figure you didn't want to end up a random target. Hope<br>
this is ok. <br>
<br>
[The
bodyguard upset his spell doesn't seem to affect Jordi<br>
swings his staff to the side and hits Jordi in the right<br>
ribs knocking some of Jordi's wind out and cracking if<br>
not breaking a rib or two. The damage after armor is<br>
7 points of damage.]<br>
<br>
[Neva stares
at the room to find Jordi but doesn't find him.<br>
She
isn't sure what to do since her main skill is archery.]<br>
<br>
[Ben'dar
heads north past Z'leyra and the turns NW at the<br>
pillar. He heads toward the throne area and slows down<br>
just
as he ends up in the front line of the steam.]<br>
<br>
[Caladan
heads 30 feet northward and ends up near the pillar.]<br>
<br>
{Priestess
ignores the small fight near her and looks southward<br>
through the steam to find some target or to see what is<br>
going
on in the room but her vision is obscured.]<br>
<br>
[Wi heads
north and ends up near Caladan.]<br>
<br>
[Chion sees
Triest come up near him and turns head slightly<br>
to
check for others before moving, to prevent collisions,<br>
he
sees Ris near him only a few feet away. Suddenly Chion's<br>
face
flares red and he charges toward Ris with sai in hand<br>
he
swings wildly at Ris but fails to hit at amazingly close<br>
range. The blade misses only by a inch.]<br>
<br>
[Kasha near
Ris sees the sudden, surprising attack by Chion<br>
and
runs around and grabs the right arm of Chion.]<br>
Kasha:
"Stop! ...Help me!"<br>
[He tries a
firm grip on the arm with one arm and the other<br>
holding his mace.]<br>
<br>
[Cholan sees
this as well having the mist leaves. He is<br>
confused by this but comes up behind Chion and grabs his<br>
other
armor and holds onto it.]<br>
<br>
GM: Chion is
now in a vice grip. For now. If it holds.<br>
<br>
[Z'leyra
heads NW and ends up just inside the steam and<br>
near
the Priestess. She creeps closer and spots the<br>
priestess who is startled by her sudden appearance. Z'leyra<br>
swings
but misjudges in the steam and fails to hit.]<br>
<br>
[Jordi
thrusts back with his sword and it impales the bodyguard<br>
in the
lower left abdomen doing 10 points of damage to him<br>
but
the person still stands after the gush of blood..]<br>
<br>
[Suresh ends
up moving forward between Wi and Farseeker.]<br>
<br>
[Ris looks
at Chion and the others in a shocked and scared<br>
expression and moves back 2 feet raising sword in defense<br>
against the suprised attack..]<br>
<br>
[Xian stands
and gets behind the throne and leans over. Using<br>
a hand
he checks the gem and finds a faint glow in the<br>
steam
on his hand...his spell failed..]<br>
<br>
[Amin
surpsied by the attack by Chion as well looks at Amin<br>
and
quickly processes mentally where he may be from. Could<br>
he
benefit from this. But their nations don't seem to<br>
be at
odds. So he raises his sword in defense against Chion<br>
with
Ris.]<br>
<br>
[Diplomat
Dax moves further northward.]<br>
<br>
[Aren sees
the attack and runs the 10 feet closer and stands<br>
by Ris
with sword raised to complete the spear / \ like<br>
sword
formation to surround Ris from Chion. He turns to<br>
chion
and speaks]<br>
Aren:
"What are you doing!?"<br>

Ok. Steam will be gone mid next phase. Its
clearing now to about<br>
2 feet visibility. As to the thing with Chion
you may remember<br>
a phase or 2 ago the priestess eyed Chion and then
another person.<br>
Looks like Chion is under some spell.<br>
<br>
Everyone is practically now in range for attacking the
2 next phase.<br>
Pick your target and your actions. It may get
crowded. Keep in<br>
mind if the staff turns in some direction the flames
in the one<br>
hex A/B2 may move but they haven't yet even after
swinging on Jordi.<br>
<br>
So they could be stationary non-dependent of the
staff. Just something<br>
to think about. There will be 9 people likely
next phase fighting<br>
the 2.<br>
<br>
<br>
Happy Memorial day to those in the USA :)<br>
