[Recap]<br>
<br>
From Z'leyra: [Re:
Actions/Vote]<br>
Z'leyra votes to
go after the claw.<br>
<br>
Z'leyra votes to
follow and hopefully retrieve the claw. She<br>
is willing to cast
the tracking spell.<br>
<br>
Do the horses we
captured have anything to say about their<br>
previous riders?
Like where they came from? What terrain<br>
they crossed to
get here?<br>
<br>
Meanwhile she will
relax, recall when the last time was that<br>
she cast Knowledge
and if it has been long enough she will<br>
repeat the
castings she did last time she cast Knowledge.<br>
Use Max EL on
Knowledge, learning same subject.<br>
GM: Ack. Horses say many days
travel. Plains. No details<br>
other than
that. But since plains is it around here seems<br>
semi-obvious. Other than that they are clueless. <br>
<br>
<br>
From Strie'bog: [Re:
Actions/votes]<br>
"Storming a
castle is formidible undertaking, and we do not<br>
yet know
what threat they pose to the us or the Zen'da.<br>
The claw
though is a threat. I will go with those that<br>
track down
the thief, as I might be able to calm animals<br>
that are
under its influence. But I think that at least<br>
one with the
power of divination or the ability to gain<br>
knowlege
from the gods should stay in the village and try<br>
to uncover
the truth about the occurances here. As of<br>
yet, we do
not know if the thief who stole the claw is<br>
working with
those in the castle, though it seems a likely<br>
turn of
events as the castle has new owners with unknown<br>
plans."<br>
<br>
Strie'bog's
vote: Track down the claw, but leave someone<br>
to try to
use magic to figure out what is going on.<br>
GM: Ack. <br>
<br>
From Chion: [Re:
Actions/Vote]<br>
Chion votes to go
after the claw, as that is the cause for<br>
the disruption on
the plains... the reason we came.<br>
GM: Ack. Thanks. <br>
<br>

[New Stuff]<br>
<br>
Octaqi 18, in the 163rd Year
[TH]<br>
[Meanwhile back on the plains
- Caladan's Village]<br>
Time: Roughly
9:50am] [Day 48 of Trip]<br>
<br>
GM: I will assume everyone
eventually returns to Caladan's<br>
village since some
gear may still be there. The Return<br>
of Chion doesn't
affect the overall events but does<br>
affect some minor
dialogue changes but not too greatly.<br>
First some
administrative stuff...<br>
<br>
Player Energy

<br>
GM: That is results from
natural healing after midnight.<br>
The energy loss is
still from the poisoning by Cetric<br>
2 days ago.
Those with lower than 100% are suffering<br>
from it or from
magic spell use. Health wise 4 are<br>
still hurt from
previous combats<br>
<br>
Balrog 87% down by 2<br>
Chion 97% Down by 1<br>
Kasha 86% Down by 4<br>
Z'leyra 97% Down by 1<br>
<br>
GM: Mana wise Strie'bog and
Chion are down a big amount.<br>
They'll have to
manage their spell use carefully.<br>
For Chion the
first figure is Casting Ability and second<br>
is with staff
(internal mana). Z'leyra is low naturally<br>
but with her
various other stuff is in good shape. <br>
<br>
GM: Results of sleeping and
morning...<br>
- Balrog does not
heal energy or physically<br>
- Ben'dar heals 3
HP and 2 energy<br>
- Jordi
regenerates full [non magical day] of mana<br>
- Xian regenerates
some mana<br>
- Chion heals 3
HP, some regeneration (low)<br>
- Trembyl heals
some energy and mana<br>
- Strie'bog
regenerates energy and some mana<br>
- Kasha fails to
heal [near infection]<br>
- Thig heals mana
fully<br>
- Z'leyra fails to
heal (1) physical wound<br>
<br>
GM: Balrog asks for
healing. Kasha asks for healing. his<br>
wound from the
village combat hours ago is near infection<br>
(only 1% from it
saved by his stamina). Z'leyra and<br>
Chion do you heal
yourselves or let it slide for now?<br>
Who wishes to heal
Balrog/Kasha? <br>
<br>
<br>
------------------------------------------------------<br>
[Votes -]<br>
<br>
GM:
Discussion goes on for some time when decisions are<br>
finally made.<br>
<br>
Balrog:
"I'm for the Claw."<br>
<br>
Caladan:
"I don't like the idea of a castle being opened<br>
and near our lands. Last time that happened the<br>
border became a war zone. But clearly the claw seems<br>
to have priority. We can try the castle maybe
afterwards."<br>
<br>
Farseeker:
"I think tactically we are better to take the<br>
castle now. With their weapons gone it will take<br>
some time to resupply. If they do we lose any<br>
tactical advantage. But we can hope a store of that<br>
amount will take days to get back. So even though<br>
I am thinking castle I saw go after claw for now."<br>
<br>
Kasha:
"I saw what they did in the village. They went<br>
after old people and children. A cowardly act. I<br>
saw we go after the claw and prevent them from doing<br>
anything like that again!"<br>
<br>
Thig:
"The chance of finding this rider or whatever he<br>
has..the claw..is slim. He has a day's advance travel<br>
on us. We don't know if he has support. We don't know<br>
if he has more items with him. We don't know if<br>
he has more magic to get further away. We don't know<br>
who he is. We don't know where he is going. Other<br>
than that we are in fine shape. Sounds like a challenge!<br>
Let's go get them!"<br>
<br>
[Strie'bog
gives his speech above. As he finishes they<br>
wait
to hear who might be the one to stay. Then<br>
someone speaks.]<br>
<br>
Trembyl:
"I'm not great person with divination or such.<br>
But I do think someone should stay here. It makes<br>
sense if there are other attacks. I will stay here.<br>
I can try a few things on my own to try and gain some<br>
elemental help. Though frankly I don't know much<br>
good I'll be."<br>
<br>
Xian:
"I could stay as well. I'm not that skilled on<br>
the horse and think I'll slow folks down. I'll stay<br>
and help you Trembyl."<br>

Could use one more vote though to make it a clear majority?<br>

GM: Thig checks the above
gear. Finds none of it magical.<br>
Incidentally let me know
ASAP what gear you leave in camp.<br>
Encumberance might be a
factor in the chase. If you don't<br>
tell me what you don't
take I'll assume everything is<br>
taken. Chion what
do you declare of the gear above?<br>
Give to the Zen'da or
claim as your own? Same goes for<br>
the horses Ben'dar bring
back? Ben'dar you could use<br>
those 2 horses for your
ranch?<br>
<br>
------------------------------------------------------<br>
<br>
[the night before no one sees
much of Cetric. He is<br>
seen only entering the
large lodge the party had the<br>
meeting with last
night. The memory of the tests<br>
and the poison is still
fresh in everyone's mind. The<br>
stress of the poison
even still affects some. Gib'borah<br>
is happy to see his son
return. But is saddened to hear<br>
about the castle.]<br>
<br>
Gib'boarah: "I know of
this castle. I believe it had<br>
people in
it...some three generations ago? That time<br>
they were a quiet
family. But six generations ago<br>
the people from
the castle did attack our lands. It<br>
was a good place
for them to retreat. When we found<br>
the castle it was
too well defended for our simple<br>
weapons.
Ga'sha Troba near the border of the mountains<br>
believes there was
a underground way there but never<br>
found it.
The ser'manda warriors who went there only<br>
a few
returned."<br>
<br>
Farseeker: "Could we find
these warriors or chief?"<br>
<br>
Gib'borah: "Long since
dead or very elderly. It was<br>
a long time
ago."<br>
<br>
[The Next morning -]<br>
<br>
[Gib'borah and the village
prepares to see the party off.]<br>
<br>
Caladan: "Will you be
going with us father?"<br>
<br>
[Gib'boarah smiles]<br>
Gib'borah: "I'm an old
warrior. I would be of no use.<br>
Your friends here
will be enough. Besides I almost<br>
feel this to be
your time. Maybe this will show you<br>
we need you
here."<br>
<br>
Caladan: "We've talked
about this. My place..."<br>
<br>
[Gib'boarah puts up a
hand.]<br>
Gib'boarah: "Yes. I
know. But maybe this will show<br>
something to
you. I can help. I've called for<br>
a council to
be held. I'm now awaiting on Ga'sha,<br>
shamans and
elders to arrive for such. We hope to<br>
determine
the situation from our end."<br>
<br>
Caladan: "That may
not be useful to us. We'll be long<br>
since
gone."<br>
<br>
Gib'borah: "You
know our riders are swift. If we must<br>
we can find
you. A large group of horses like this<br>
shouldn't be
hard to track."<br>
<br>
Zaka: "Good luck on
your trip!"<br>
<br>
[Caladan didn't notice
the Elder had been standing there.<br>
He must've come
early this morning.]<br>
<br>
Caladan: 'Where is
Cetric?"<br>
<br>
Cetric: "I'm right
here."<br>
<br>
[Caladan twirls his
horse around and sees Cetric. The<br>
tall shaman is
standing with new fresh clothing and<br>
some gear on his
back.]<br>
<br>
Cetric: "I'm going
with you. I spent last night seeking<br>
a vision
from the spirits. Since I did not get<br>
any I feel
they urge me to join you. Several warriors<br>
will join us
the little we can spare."<br>
<br>
Caladan: "Shouldn't
you stay here for the council?"<br>
<br>
[Glances are shared
among the party as Cetric makes his<br>
announcement.]<br>
<br>
Cetric: "Gib'borah
will deal with that. My place is<br>
with
you. My place is to track down those who defile<br>
our lands in
a cowar-..in a dishonor-...in wrongdoing."<br>
<br>
[Its clear his words are
cut off as he speaks. He knows<br>
the wrong he did
the party and comparing those actions<br>
with the thief's
actions would anger some in the<br>
party so he is
trying to be diplomatic about it.]<br>
<br>
[Cetric fastens some
gear to his horse but does not<br>
look at the party
as they murmur among themselvss.]<br>
<br>
GM: I'll assume the village
supplies food and water for<br>
the trip.
The horses can graze. <br>
