Fremea will quickly move to the controls and close the "ceiling," then she will get to the three humans. With a wink to them, she tells them to close their eyes and teleports them out to the forest area.<br><br><div><div id="SkyDrivePlaceholder"></div>> Date: Fri, 28 Dec 2012 02:49:59 -0500<br>> To: pnpgm@list.powersandperils.org<br>> From: pnpgm@comcast.net<br>> Subject: [pnpgm] Game Update #269 - File #1566 - A disection....<br>> <br>> <br>> HT Aliaver/Player Character Name Type Status/Notes Sex<br>> -- -----------------------------------------------------------------<br>> R1.John Haight...........Arawn.............Druid .Normal/Alfar Ma<br>> ??.Chris Wells...........Ben'dar...........Warrior.Normal/Human Ma<br>> R4.Tom Corckett..........Caladan...........Wizard Normal/Human Ma<br>> W2.Marcel Liberty........Chion.............Sailor..Normal/Human Ma<br>> W3.Ryan Torres...........Farseeker.........Warrior.Normal/Human Ma<br>> --.Tobie Bonahoom........Fremea............Sidh....Normal/Faerry Fe<br>> --.Floyd Mesler..........Jordan Malic......Warrior.Normal/Human Ma<br>> R2.Mark Murtha...........Kell..............Trader..Normal/Human..Ma<br>> R1.David Sanders.........Kiet.Sunan........Acrobat Normal/Human Ma<br>> R4.J H Hooten............Raban.Usherwood...Bard....Normal/Human..Ma<br>> W2.Robert Maxwell........Strie'bog.........Bard....Normal/Human..Ma<br>> W4.Wout Broere...........Unali.............Ninja...Normal/Human Fe<br>> R1 John.Stowman..........Will..............Hunter..Normal/Human..Ma<br>> R4.Alex Koponen..........Z'leyra...........Healer..Normal/Human Fe<br>> R1 NPC...................Zhou Kiwat........Noble...Normal/Human..Ma<br>> NPC...................Captain.Lin.......Warrior.Normal/Human..Ma<br>> Animals: Corona [Eagle] Z'leyra, Tef'wo (Horse) Ben'dar,<br>> <br>> Game Web Site - http:/nrgcomputers.com/pbem/<br>> Public posts/actions to pnpgm@list.powersandperils.org (mailing list)<br>> Private emails (not public actions) to pnpgm@comcast.net<br>> <br>> Game Update #269 in sequence (file #1566]<br>> ----------------------------------------------------------------<br>> <br>> Admin Notes: New player...new list...see above for list and roster.<br>> -----------------------------------------------------------------<br>> [Recap]<br>> <br>> From Arawn: [Re: Actions]<br>> The flood of knowledge, the insight gained through the...<br>> <br>> "The Brain will help us and it knows time is short."<br>> GM: Ack.<br>> <br>> From Arawn: [Re: Actions]<br>> Forgot to add:<br>> <br>> As extraction of the Brain began Arawn called out to those<br>> behind him.<br>> <br>> "Get everyone ready. Zhou and Strie'bog are in trouble by<br>> the forests edge."<br>> GM: Ack.<br>> <br>> --------------------------------------------------------------<br>> [New Stuff]<br>> <br>> [Augado 10th, 1634TH]<br>> [Location: Middle Katai Plains]<br>> [ Mountains west of Pamau]<br>> <br>> [Time: 3:30:30pm - 2:33:14pm]<br>> <br>> On the western side of the mountain in the Throne Room<br>> cave the group tends to wounds. Kiet and Caladan help get<br>> Kell bandaged since Z'leyra is a bit busy. They do a decent<br>> job but at least he has no serious bleeding.<br>> <br>> Unali's brother comes from outside at the stair railing.<br>> He looks the room over and shakes his head. This rag tag<br>> team of people who clearly do not look Katai saved him?<br>> Who are they? But then he realizes Unali is working with<br>> them a new gleam of pride makes him grin. But then he does<br>> not see Unali. He asks the group, "where is my sister? Unali."<br>> <br>> Farseeker looks up above Raban being worked on. "On the<br>> other side of the cavern. She should be safe..." But he<br>> says this with his head lowered again so not to give eye<br>> contact. He knows that the brain could wink them all dead<br>> with a thought if it so desired. But being a military man<br>> he knows his duty and does not shirk from it even at<br>> certain death.<br>> <br>> Raban looks up at Z'leyra and can read her face. Being<br>> a Bard and a successful ladies man he can read all forms of<br>> expressions on a female. This one shows that there is little<br>> help she can do. He surmises that even with his great strength<br>> there is a large chance of death from a new healing. He can<br>> tell the bleeding in the liver is still profuse and he could<br>> bleed out. Raban gives a wink and grabs her arm. "At least<br>> I will die here under the arms of a woman."<br>> <br>> Farseeker looks up at Z'leyra. "Can't you do something?<br>> How about that hole thing? Didn't you use it once on Clima?<br>> Popped the person in that hole area and called him back?"<br>> <br>> Back on the other side some 1000 feet away in the Brain Cave.<br>> <br>> The man who was rescued looks at Fremea, a very grateful look<br>> on his face, extends his hand and says, "I owe you my life. My<br>> name is Malic. Jordan Malic from Cerulean. If you hadn't come<br>> along, the Vong would have.. well, I'd rather not think about<br>> that!".<br>> <br>> To Fremea though it is a strange language. She turns to stare<br>> at the new man. Unali tilts her head. Arawn can hear the words<br>> and understands him good enough but is too distracted to translate.<br>> Chion isn't as fluent in Cerulean as Arawn though and does a rough<br>> translation to the two females. Instead of "rather" he translates<br>> it as "probably." But the gist is still there.<br>> <br>> Unali turns to Arawn to ask the Brain. "What area to get away<br>> from. How far is safe from the mountain if this explodes?"<br>> <br>> Arawn asks the question but before he even finishes the<br>> though the Brain reacts. He gives the answer word for word.<br>> Though he isn't sure if it is the Brain speaking through him<br>> forcing the words or he is consciously speaking the words. There<br>> is no time to think on that. "The radiation will infect any<br>> thing living in the cave the small caves and the big one. It<br>> suggests to cover the ceiling to block it from the sky. I<br>> can not control the volcano at this point. The process has<br>> started. I do not feel it will erupt majorally for any direct<br>> period of time. It may take weeks or days or hours. I can<br>> not detect what is below in the lava chambers to tell what<br>> the pressure is there. Those around in the forest will be<br>> safe from the radiation. The walls are thick enough. If<br>> the volcano does erupt then it depends on how much at that<br>> point if miles is needed to get away. If I were to guess<br>> the rate of lava now would suggest it will take 3.2 weeks<br>> before any decent eruption of lava. Another 2 months before<br>> enough is build up to possible leave the mountain unless the<br>> ground quakes change that. These are only estimates. The<br>> strange portal detected in your minds change the variables<br>> quite a bit."<br>> <br>> Unali nods and figures at least her homeland will be safe.<br>> At least the Vong raided nearby villages for miles away. So<br>> the villages should be safe. The forest though around here<br>> might be destroyed. Maybe Strie'bog can get his friends in<br>> the forest to flee. She keeps that in mind to tell him. She<br>> turns and grabs the Vong masker that cloaked the outcast. She<br>> stares to reach back to do a lurch as if to throw it over the<br>> edge of the railing some distance away.<br>> <br>> "Stop!" Omini yells and steps forward away from Arawn.<br>> <br>> Unali turns to see what the issue is now.<br>> <br>> "If I am to be...set free to my world...I will have to avoid<br>> the warriors. They will surely kill me. It is my only chance<br>> to find friends in the outcasts community. Maybe together we<br>> can duplicate the Shaper device and use it to our advantage.<br>> A outcast caught with such a device would be certain death by<br>> the warriors and shapers. But if I return with no document<br>> or person to escort me then it will be certain death. At least<br>> that mask gives me a chance." Omini looks to Arawn to see if he<br>> can plead his case to his comrade.<br>> <br>> Unali stops and considers the benefits of keeping it here or<br>> destroying it by throwing it to the ground lava.<br>> <br>> Unali turns to Chion holding the Gnarish staff. "Can you get<br>> the others to Shantou, Baron Ka's estate? Don't forget Zhou and<br>> company. And those two at the top of the stairs."<br>> <br>> Chion concentrates and asks the familiar watching the Kototh<br>> portal how much time they have. "If I see the piles of bones<br>> slide I will try to close the portal. Till then...I can<br>> only sense. No more than 5 of your minutes. Time is different<br>> through that portal. It may have already been days there." The<br>> creepy familiar speaks to Chion through the staff telepathically.<br>> Then Chion turns to Unali. "Max of 5 but it could be sooner if<br>> things go bad. I'll hurry. I will come back for you two."<br>> Then he realizes that Arawn can teleport as well. "Actually,<br>> Arawn you can take them to the horses in the forest?"<br>> <br>> Arawn tells Chion of what he saw below in the forest. "Get<br>> everyone ready. Zhou and Strie'bog are in trouble by the forests<br>> edge."<br>> <br>> Chion turns to Unali. "Baron Ka? I thought he was helping the<br>> Vong. Do you mean your family place or should we just go back<br>> to Sivas? Sadly I will need to do multiple jumps maybe 3 or 4 just<br>> to get all the horses and people."<br>> <br>> Chion considers dropping the Gnarish staff. It is a strange<br>> staff that lets others watch him. That is annoying and he doesn't<br>> like his privacy tampered with. But then if the party has to flee<br>> fast he may need to talk to the strange supernatural creature.<br>> Walking past Arawn he taps his shoulder. "Good luck." Walking<br>> past Unali he looks to Fremea. "Can you fly to the ceiling control<br>> over there and close the ceiling like Arawn suggested?" He points<br>> to the north wall where the balcony was they crossed and fought<br>> the invisible Vong. Fremea recalls where the control was and if<br>> she recalls it was a simple device. The "ceiling" is a animal<br>> though and wonders if it dies from this radiation - whatever that<br>> is - will the ceiling decay? Chion then points to the extreme<br>> right side of that balcony where they left the 3 free humans there.<br>> "Can you also tell them to double it fast down here to the cave<br>> so when I return I can pick them up?"<br>> <br>> With Fremea distracted Malic picks up the leather bag and pulls<br>> out his trusty great sword. He felt so naked without it. Finding<br>> the sheath he starts to put it on his belt. But then Chion winks<br>> and the scene changes again. Malic and Chion are now back into<br>> the Throne Room cave. Malic confused by all this teleporting<br>> notices the party all around A large man and an assorted set of<br>> fighters and other strange folks.<br>> <br>> Chion claps his hands to draw the attention to him. "Time to<br>> leave. The situation is being worked on but we have a new<br>> threat. Gather your stuff and gather around." He begins to<br>> do a count of heads. He counts 12 people. Two more than he<br>> can get away with but that's an expensive spell just to leave<br>> the mountain to go the forest. He notices Raban down. "Is he<br>> dead?" Asking if he should be skipped. Then he realizes that<br>> Raban turns to smile at him. "Ahh...Will can you teleport some<br>> of them down? I will teleport everyone down to the horses. The<br>> problem is we will need to do multiple jumps out of this area with<br>> all the people and horses."<br>> <br>> Chion can feel him already tapped badly by the magic of the day.<br>> He hopes he can get the party home with their horses at least. But<br>> he knows Ben'dar would kill him without Tef'wo.<br>> <br>> Back in the Brain cave, Omini stares at the mask in Unali's hand.<br>> <br>> Unali ignores the strange outcast. "Offer the Brain a choice.<br>> Go back to his homeworld or die here. It has 10 seconds to decide."<br>> <br>> The flood of knowledge, the insight gained through the<br>> connection to the Brain was something beyond what mere words<br>> could describe and in another place, another time Arawn would<br>> have loved to learn it all and travel to the countless worlds<br>> that flashed in his mind but, sadly, he knew that this was not<br>> to be. The portals needed to be sealed if both worlds, and<br>> perhaps more, were to be saved and time was now almost up.<br>> <br>> In the back of his mind though he questions the ideas. To<br>> his upbringing there are only 3 worlds to the True World. Some<br>> consider the astral planes like the familiar nearby uses to be<br>> only a pathway not a world. Yes this implies there are more than<br>> what the gods created. There have been quiet rumors by those<br>> in the various courts of the multiverse. But the gods refuse<br>> to comment on such nonsense.<br>> <br>> The Brain had agreed to let this world live and in the<br>> process it offered a chance to save the Vong. Death at the<br>> party's hands would have only saved the Middle World and the<br>> Vong would be left to dark age which had fallen upon them but<br>> the willing sacrifice of the Brain offered hope for change, for<br>> healing, and the Alfar, though sad to see another creature die,<br>> was glad for the hope this action offered to the Vong.<br>> <br>> Even though Arawn feels sad there is hope. The Brain did say<br>> they were all genetic made to remember. He doesn't understand<br>> the concept. But this genetic memory seems to pass on from one<br>> generation to the last. He knows that animals do this Strie'bog<br>> tells of birds by instinct or maybe genetic memory find their<br>> home after migration. Plants also seem to learn from their previous<br>> generation and grow in the best places not the worst. So maybe<br>> the part of the brain can still live to spread this hope to the<br>> Vong.<br>> <br>> He looked with sad eyes upon the Brain and then to Omini before<br>> turning back to Unali.<br>> <br>> "The Brain will help us and it knows time is short."<br>> <br>> He turned back to Omini and the Brain. He motions for Omini<br>> to grab the talisman. As he does he watches Unali to ensure<br>> the mask is not thrown away. Then Omini feels the Brain contact<br>> to him.<br>> <br>> "Jacen was wise and now so are you," he sent to the Brain.<br>> "how this one," Arawn said, indicating Omini, "where to take<br>> the portion and how to grow it. Then when you are whole teach<br>> him, help him bring peace to your world."<br>> <br>> "Jacen Solo was a fool. But he did give a strange victory to<br>> the outcasts caste." Omini simply thinks this and doesn't realize<br>> that his thoughts are also relayed to Arawn. "The enemy thought<br>> he was a hero."<br>> <br>> Arawn wondered if there was any way to express his gratitude<br>> but he felt that a simple 'thank you' would not suffice, if the<br>> Brain understood. But then he thought of one thing, simple but<br>> perhaps never experienced by the Brain before, and projected<br>> all his thoughts of love and compassion for both the Brain and<br>> Omini to experience, hoping it would be a gift they could<br>> appreciate. With that done he stepped back to allow Omini to<br>> take the portion of the Brain needed, helping him if possible.<br>> <br>> The Brain relays his plan to Omini. The timid outcast gulps<br>> and turns to face the Brain. Arawn offers a sword but the Brain<br>> counters. A metal blade should not touch him. Arawn realizes<br>> it is the Vong's world to deny non natural sources like metal<br>> and devices. Omini is directed to a Coufee from one of the dead<br>> warriors. Omini approaches and is reluctant to act.<br>> <br>> "Now, please, shut down the gravity-generator," he said. "And<br>> we will seal the other gate as well."<br>> <br>> The Brain turns its attention to the starfish shaped creature<br>> out in the forest some 3 miles away. It is in a open field.<br>> The gray and black creature is huge that is with one "arm" going<br>> about 15 feet long. The center area is another 10 feet or so making<br>> the creature at least 40-50 feet wide. The creature has 5 arms<br>> and below Arawn can sense the fleshy part where it can take in<br>> nutrients from the ground. On top the implanted Dovin well allows<br>> it to pull the moon or other things down. The Brain orders the<br>> creature to sleep. It then shows where the location of the creature<br>> is for the Katai military to kill. It warns that it is tough to<br>> kill and the best way is through salt. This was discovered on<br>> a world where a large salt plain was. The creature was eaten<br>> as if by acid by the salt. Otherwise it would take a long time<br>> to hack the creature. The salt should be used under the center<br>> area fleshy area and to avoid the Dovin on top or they would<br>> perish. Arawn makes a mental note to let Captain Lin know<br>> assuming he doesn't arrest the party.<br>> <br>> Arawn urges Omini forward. Omini hesitates but the Brain seems to<br>> sense problem and commands his tentacles near the outcast to stop.<br>> This in itself is a huge task as it is mostly by reflex. Omini<br>> looks back and Arawn gives a nod. "Why can't he do this?" Omini<br>> thinks to himself. Closing his eyes he steps forward now within<br>> only a foot of the large meat that is the forward right lobe of<br>> the Brain.<br>> <br>> Arawn says stop which makes Omini jerk back in shock and in relief.<br>> He looks back to the Alfar. Arawn through mental directions goes to<br>> find a broken water barrel. He finds that is 90% smashed but it now<br>> somewhat flat but with ledges. He then grabs his waterskin and pours<br>> all his water onto the flat surface. He nodes to Omini to continue.<br>> <br>> Arawn gives direction on where to slice as the best part of the<br>> Brain is on the edge for rebirth. There is little blood if any<br>> but mostly gray and white fluids. Omini considers taking this<br>> brain segment to his people. If the Outcasts could grow their<br>> own Brain they could be a force to be dealt with in equal terms.<br>> Omini takes the slice which is as thick as a banana and as long<br>> as a wrist. It isn't perfectly round but it will grow and reshape<br>> itself with time.<br>> <br>> Arawn guides Omini to place the segmented brain section onto the<br>> barrel top. He yanks one of the dead Brigader capes to cover the<br>> top and this should hide it from view.<br>> <br>> Arawn turns to Unali to indicate the operation is over.<br>> <br>> Omini looks to Unali. "Can I like leave now?"<br>> <br>> Actions? Comments?<br>> <br>> Next Update...Monday...<br>> <br>> GM: Hope everyone had a good holiday. The Dwarves are adopting<br>> the 12 days of christmas song as their inspiration to get<br>> drunk each night instead of 1 mugs they add a mug each night.<br>> So they are a bit out of it so hope things are running<br>> in the office for the update. As some may have noticed<br>> the end of the world was for the list that Wout has<br>> exceptionally run for over a decade. RIP. But its<br>> back up and NO change needs to be done on your end. It<br>> was that seamless. But the last 2 updates may not have<br>> gotten out. I know at least a few went to my game site<br>> to check and found it. So if you check the update # above<br>> and see missing 2 or 3 go to the archives or to the game<br>> site and check them there. I suggest you do this as you<br>> may have missed the IBT info I posted about in the last<br>> update. Thanks to Wout for updating the list so no change<br>> is needed as it was done automatically.<br>> <br>> GM: Future plans - I wanted to start next adventure on a even<br>> Keel 1/1. Course the update wouldn't be out till Friday<br>> but if I can finish monday I'll do it then. So I hope<br>> to evacuate everyone out of the dungeon. Then at least<br>> start to leave Katai. That way we can start new and fresh<br>> for new year.<br>> <br>> Fremea - Do you go to do the ceiling thing? Get the 3<br>> free humans and send them back down to the Brain cave<br>> or teleport them yourself?<br>> <br>> Unali/Arawn is left in the Brain cave. With the<br>> supernatural creature and the Brain.<br>> <br>> Everyone else is in the Throne room.<br>> <br>> Folks to teleport outside the mountain<br>> Arawn, Unali<br>> Ben'dar, Caladan, Chion, Farseker, Malic, Kell, Kiet<br>> Raban, Will, Z'leyra, Lin, Unnamed Wizard<br>> Fremea, 3 Humans<br>> Total: 18<br>> <br>> Folks to teleport out of forest and somewhere<br>> Arawn, Unali, Ben'dar, Caladan, Chion, Farseker, Malic,<br>> Kell, Kiet, Raban, Will, Z'leyra, Fremea, Strie'bog, Zhou<br>> <br>> Total: 15 plus 13 horses<br>> <br>> Lin will stay and so will the villagers (3 humans) and<br>> the wizard could go with you to another part of Katai<br>> but will see when that comes. Chion can teleport only<br>> 11 at any one time. So we can see that at 13 horses<br>> which are about 2 people size wise we are talking 4 trips<br>> back and forth so 8 total trips for Chion. Will can<br>> also teleport as well as Z'leyra and Arawn.<br>> <br>> To figure out what the distances are:<br>> From Mountain to Pamau almost due east - 100 miles<br>> Mountain to Shantou - North east of mt.- 180 miles<br>> Mountain directly to Sivas, Marentia - 960 miles<br>> <br>> In fact Sivas is due west of the mountain so to<br>> teleport to above would need:<br>> To Pamau - EL 7<br>> To Shantou - EL 8<br>> To Sivas - EL10<br>> <br>> Unali once outside the mountain in the forest do you<br>> want to continue to Shantou as you posted? or go<br>> due west right to Sivas? For Chion it would take<br>> 8 trips with everyone Will could help if he so wishes.<br>> In order to say transmute the horses like before it<br>> would need a new day (due to exhausted magic). If<br>> this is the case the below timeline for IBT will be<br>> upped 1 day. Chion can take 1 group to Sivas and back<br>> but not to Sivas. Actually Arawn isn't a far leaper.<br>> He can only do 76 miles or so at any one time So he<br>> is out. Z'leyra could do 1 trip to Sivas and back to<br>> the mountain then tapped out. So that's 3 can go back<br>> to Sivas now. But sadly that leaves the horses.<br>> So I think I already have the answer. All can return<br>> but the horses would not today. So Unali want to<br>> just go to your family grounds and rest till midnight<br>> when new with mana? Though to do that. So to go from<br>> Mountain to Shantou would be 14 mana I believe. That<br>> means Chion could do that 2 Trips to take a group of 20.<br>> Will could do that in 1 jump to take another 10 to the<br>> city. Wow. This is more complicated than I thought.<br>> Just too exhausted everyone. Arawn could take 5 in 2 jumps<br>> to the city. Leaving if I get the estimate 5 left. Z'leyra<br>> could take 3 of those but would take 12 jumps and not<br>> enough energy for that. So based on this hard confusing<br>> math I don't think the party can't escape! The party<br>> is captured and slaughtered! Ok. End of the game. :)<br>> <br>> So I guess the only recourse is to move west with the<br>> horses. Camp out. You'd have 2-3 hours of daylight.<br>> You could at least 5 miles from the mountain and the<br>> military. So Unali let me know what you want to do.<br>> Camp and teleport in the morning back to Sivas Or<br>> try some complicated sequence to get everyone back<br>> today. Unali I know you may want to say good bye to<br>> folks so if you want Chion could take you and your<br>> brother to your family grounds. The others could<br>> camp out. Let me know what you want to do. Based<br>> on the above the timeline for the IBT will be as stated<br>> below or +1 day.<br>> <br>> GM: Happy New Year to everyone!<br>> <br>> GM: Clarification on IBT time:<br>> It was 6 weeks. I know some folks were wanting more but<br>> I just am not sure how long travel time will go. Who knows<br>> Will, Z'leyra or Arawn could teleport the party to Donara<br>> without no travel time. But if not then would have to<br>> go by land or sea. That alone will be a additional mini IBT<br>> for that period. Think when we did Clima some decade ago<br>> it took the party 3-4 weeks by sea but I could be wrong.<br>> We shall see once the adventure starts. But basically<br>> plan on a solid 6 weeks for now. Just a reminder I would<br>> prefer IBT done in the format in the document (see site).<br>> But as a reminder:<br>> <br>> Use this timeline for your info:<br>> <br>> Augado (August) 10 - Return that night to Sivas, Marentia<br>> Augado 10th - Night debriefing in Sivas Inn (upcoming)<br>> <br>> Augado 11-31 - IBT time period [21 days]<br>> Sepes [September] 1-24 - IBT time period [24 days]<br>> <br>> So use the dates above OR just say day 1, 2, etc.<br>> ALSO do not forget if you do not want the info posted on<br>> what you did you must tell me in the email or for a certain<br>> set of dates. Otherwise I'll do a summary of your ibt<br>> not specifically but a generic view. Some may recall<br>> how I've done this in the past.<br>> <br>> So use 6 weeks. If you travel away from Sivas you should<br>> plan time to return if you go to Dark Lands or another place.<br>> If you are going by ship or horse plan that time. If you do<br>> not know how long this will take ask and I can configure it<br>> based on normal speeds. If your lucky to use the Express (Ie<br>> Chion or a teleporter) then you will need to ensure that he<br>> or the person picks you up.<br>> <br>> Most characters have skills you could learn from. If you<br>> want to be taught you will need to get with that person<br>> to schedule those dates in conjunction. (if taught get<br>> 2 points per day so can figure out how many points needed<br>> to learn the skill).<br>> <br>> GM: Game Site errors:<br>> Thanks to John there were rumors of a bad set of links<br>> on the site (the dwarves!) IN fact all but 2 were case<br>> sensitive. So Ps.txt file should have been ps.txt or a<br>> .zip should not have been .ZIP. Ftp sites are funky<br>> that way and I gotta check on these things. But I do<br>> not upload the files till just before bed so rarely check<br>> them so you guys need to check on links. All are fixed<br>> now. I had to remove 2 links one on the Lake Oca Zip<br>> archive which had info on what happened at Oca from last<br>> adventure. The other was trip.txt which was the summary<br>> of the Ship travel stuff. Both not needed. I actually<br>> lost those files and not on the site. So not sure<br>> if they were deleted awhile back. But all links are back<br>> in order and tested. Top and bottom. The middle posts<br>> and player posts there could be links there but I'm not<br>> going to test over 1500 links. :) Regardless the next<br>> adventure website will be cleared and cleaned.<br>> <br>> GM: On Character sheets if you need to add something to your<br>> sheet or change something let me know. I'd prefer if you<br>> just send the snippet or the bit of info to add. This way<br>> I can edit my master sheet here. I keep sheets with GM<br>> notes that you guys never see. So if something is added<br>> or changed I have to go line by line to figure out what<br>> so its just easier to let me know what was changed. One<br>> of these days (maybe next century) I'll get to do Excel<br>> or such sheets. But since I use two computers for the<br>> updates at this point (my old computer still has all<br>> the pnp files I've yet transferred to new one) its easier<br>> to use a simple quick text file to edit. For those who<br>> can't read the ascii (though all computers should as it<br>> was out in the '80s) the lines and such "graphics" in<br>> the sheet can be edited if needed to *'s as some have done.<br>> <br>> GM: Some found errors in their sheets. IT wasn't actually<br>> errors though. P&P has weird rounding rules. Not sure<br>> why Richard/Avalon Hill did it. But when I went to<br>> school a 1.1-1.49 was a 1. A 1.5-1.99 was a 2. Course<br>> they also came out with the "new math" in the '80s. Now<br>> its probably "math 3.0" but who knows. So basically I<br>> use my old rounding system that most in my generation use.<br>> Also as a reminder I do not really edit Casting speeds as<br>> they tend to be configured at play time. Also some Skill<br>> Max ELs may not have been changed (mostly should have) but<br>> I always check when at that max point to redo the formula.<br>> <br>> GM: To Floyd welcome to the game! If your confused about<br>> things like IBT or format of things let me know. Did<br>> you add your email address to the subscription to<br>> the mailing list? Well I guess if you did then you<br>> get this update. If not. :< Will check later.<br>> <br>> Unali - Odd. The Lang.txt file the language file that<br>> we did using Z'leyra's language chain. It lists as you<br>> having Cerulean but I do not see it on the sheet. Not<br>> sure if this was my mistake or I deleted it on the sheet?<br>> Will can take 1 group to Sivas directly. If it takes<br>> 4 groups at EL10 to get all including horses then that<br>> leaves half the group only home. So that would depend<br>> on Arawn and Z'leyra.<br>> <br>> GM: Finally the improvements document is o the website in<br>> the links section. It has actually been there a week.<br>> But not sure if anyone noticed. I'll take comments<br>> if need be public or private. It may still be tweaked<br>> but to be honest I'm not too happy with it since I'm<br>> a perfectionist. I think its still missing something.<br>> I may tweak it during the next adventure if too much<br>> abuse.<br>> <br>> GM: CPs sent / Sheets updated<br>> <br>> Player Status<br>> Arawn Got Info / Work in progress<br>> Ben'dar Completed<br>> Caladan Completed<br>> Chion Completed<br>> Farseeker Completed<br>> Fremea Completed<br>> Kell Completed<br>> Kiet Completed<br>> Raban Completed<br>> Strie'bog Completed<br>> Unali Completed<br>> Will Need info on CPs to use / Work in progress<br>> Z'leyra Need info on CPs to use / Work in progress<br>> <br>> Completed: 9 Need info: 3 Work in progress: 1<br>> <br>> GM: Spells active<br>> <br>> Will - Armor Transmutation, Mind Shield<br>> Raban - Bless (OCV)<br>> Farseeker - Bless (OCV)<br>> Arawn - Bless (OCV)<br>> Unali - Mind Shield<br>> Kell - Elemental Powers/Pact, Summoning?<br>> Fremea - Mind Shield,<br>> Z'leyra - Mind Shield, Bless (Con), Clairvoyance<br>> <br>> * = Soon to end (next update?].
