[Recap]<br><br>
<br>
From Kiet: [Re: Actions]<br>
"Damnation!" He thinks to himself. The ring failed!
<br><br>
Once acquired,
call out in Kameri "Dorhak! Mournath! Help<br>
Arawn!" Then
move in to help the other four try to kill the<br>
tusk creature.
Kiet desperately wants to help kill the one that<br>
attacked Kell, and
help his new 'friend' Kell. He just doesn't<br>
want to be
confused with the 'other' Kiet and get impaled in<br>
the back by one of
his cohorts.<br>
GM: Ack. Third quote
would be 3rd phase so next update. Remind<br>
me if
I forget but will try to recall. You did pick up a sword<br>
from
the tribute cave.<br><br>
From Kiet: [Re: Actions]<br>
Do not take a
chance on hitting fake Kell with the ring fire.<br>
Thanks<br>
GM: Ack. So no ring #2
on Fake Kiet. Gotcha. Yeah your fault. :)<br>
You
reminded me its a 'visible' flame not a poof on target<br>
thing
like I had used before. So that line of sight target<br>
to hit
like flame darts points the fun. :)<br><br>
From Mae: [Re: Actions]<br>
Maelorna looks
about for a potential playmate and spots...<br>
GM: Ack. You say
braggart which is Fake-Kiet but you point<br>
to
Fake-Kell. So a bit confused. You were not on the<br>
last 2
days of skype so couldn't ask. So will assume<br>
Fake-Kell. <br><br>
From Dorhak: [Re:
Actions]<br>
This doesn't seem
to be going well at all! These creatures are<br>
horribly dangerous
and probably have already killed two of the<br>
people in this
group. For the first time in a long time, he's<br>
somewhat
afraid.<br><br>
Being afraid
doesn't mean being a coward, however. You keep<br>
fighting till the
end. That is the Dwarvish way. The gods of<br>
stone and silence
demand no less.<br><br>
There are six of
us taking on a single 'thing', as the dwarf<br>
doesn't really
know what to call these evil beings, and we are<br>
barely holding our
own. But now another Kiet and Kell appear?<br><br>
It's obvious that
the Kiet holding Kell was a fake, but what<br>
is the new
one? And the new Kell? Dorhak's brain isn't meant<br>
to deal with such
matters. It is obvious, however, that the<br>
Kiet behind him is
an enemy. It's probably killed Kell (one of<br>
them anyway) and
Arawn. Dorhak hears the newly arrived Kiet and<br>
seems to agree
with the 'command'.<br><br>
Dorhak will break
off from the tusk creature and move to attack<br>
the fake Kiet that
killed Kell and Arawn.<br>
GM: Ack. Yet this is
what I would call a 'moderate' level<br>
encounter. :) To me the soul Davias (old form) would've<br>
been
far more dangerous. But yep. They regenerate so<br>
it is
hard to kill them. Think of it s a clown car they<br>
seem
to come out looking the same. :)<br><br>

[New Stuff]<br><br>
[Febris 9th,
1635TH]<br>
[Time: 5:01
pm]<br>
[Unknown
Location]<br>
[Audience Room -
Current room]<br><br>
[Phase 9]<br><br>
Kiet
raises his arm to fire his second blast at the<br>
Fake-Kiet.
But Fake-Kell is right there. While the shifter<br>
is a possible
enemy he did help him. Kiet curses mentally<br>
and lowers his
arm. He activates his magical boots, hoping<br>
they are indeed
the magical ones and not Fake-Kiet wearing them.<br>
He quickly slams
the boots together twice to activate them.<br><br>
Kiet
curses out loud, "Damnation!" He activates his boots<br>
for speed not the
other stuff yet.<br><br>
Now
being just as fast as Z'leyra, Kiet runs north to the<br>
gear pile.
He scans the pile. He spots his shield fast.<br>
But the tulwar
takes a second longer. A few good blades<br>
and swords.
He tosses the sword he found in the tribute<br>
room and grips his
tulwar. He glances up at Fake-Kell holding<br>
the Cryx and
Fake-Kiet. Only about 12 or so feet away.<br>
A clear line of
sight now!<br><br>
Z'leyra swings and slices off the left 'arm' of tusk<br>
shifter #3 doing
17 points. The magical sword slices<br>
off the arm and it
falls to the ground. There is very<br>
little to no blood
more a yellowish-orange fluid that<br>
seems to fall out
of the socket.<br><br>
Fremea
at Kell's side feels a very faint pulse. But she<br>
is no healer of
humans so unsure if that is a weak or<br>
strong
pulse. She checks the wound by the fake-Kiet to<br>
his ribs.
Tearing a piece of tunic off she tries to stop<br>
the bleeding that
is pouring out fast. At least she knows<br>
if there is blood
his heart is still working. She wonders<br>
where Z'leyra to
help him is?<br><br>
Maelorna looks about for a potential playmate and spots a<br>
shifter, 'The
braggart' she thinks and gives it a knowing smile<br>
as she instructs
Zin, "Kill it, my love!" while pointing at the<br>
fake Kell and
turning towards the creature before flying towards<br>
it.<br><br>
She
could almost find companionship amongst them, well, if not<br>
for their desire
to dissect her that is.<br><br>
Mae
flies toward Fake-Kell. But she ends up right behind<br>
Mournath and next
to Kiet. She stares at the gear pile<br>
at her feet
looking for a dagger to use.<br><br>
Unali
moves to help the party members attacking Shifter<br>
#3. She
stabs at Tusk Shifter #3 but misses as it dodges<br>
and weaves.
She misses her second good dagger.<br><br>
Zin
moves north west to go find Mae's new target the Fake-Kell.<br>
But ends about 35
feet away.<br><br>
Tusk
Shifter #3 fearing death is coming tries to recall<br>
a creature from
the air to change to. But it has been<br>
so long. He
can't recall the rules for wing length and<br>
body mass. The
pain of losing his arm is too much and so<br>
he reforms
again. This time he adds 5 arms for a total<br>
of 6. At the
end of each he forms large sharp claws.<br>
Then he begins to
twirl in place like a spinning top.<br>
He weaves back and
forth a couple of feet creating<br>
a whirlwind of
motion with his claw-hands hoping to<br>
hit targets at
random. <br><br>
Claw-Hand #1 swipes at Mournath but he raises his<br>
spear and deflects
it in time. Two claw hands strike<br>
at Fuk but the
constable steps back and dodges them both.<br><br>
One
Claw Hand strikes at Unali but her magical dagger<br>
warns her and she
ducks in time.<br><br>
One
claw strikes toward Pyan but misses as well.<br><br>
One
Claw hand strikes toward Z'leyra and her chest doing<br>
5 points of damage
past her magical chainmail.<br><br>
The
last claw hand strikes at Bull-Thrall-Shifter #2 but<br>
does not hit
him.<br><br>
Fremea's thrall Shifter #2 tries to stab back using<br>
speared like arm
at Shifter #3 but fails to hit as it<br>
spins and
spins.<br><br>
Fake-Kiet turns to Fake-Kell, "traitor!" He then<br>
changes back to
humanoid form and tries to strike the<br>
shifter-ally but
only does 1 point of damage in the wild<br>
swing.<br><br>
At the
same time Fake-Kell raises the Cryx at Fake-Kiet's<br>
chin and rams it
up under his chin. The orb begins to spark<br>
as it makes
contact and starts to merge into the face of<br>
Fake-Kiet.
Tissue and flesh begin to peel away as the<br>
Cryx merges with
the shifter's head doing 19 points of damage<br>
to the
Shifter. Maybe Fake-Kell doesn't know how to use<br>
the magical thing
to his advantage yet.<br><br>
Unconscious Arawn can hear whispers and songs in his mind.<br>
He can't make it
out as the pain it intense Darkness<br>
in his mind as it
begins to close off. Arawn mentally<br>
reaches out for
contact but darkness seems to come at him<br>
from all sides in
his mind.<br><br>
Mouranath stabs his spear at Shifter #3 but misses.<br><br>
Fuk
and Pyan all use sword and spear to hit Shifter #3<br>
but both men fail
to hit the spinning creature.<br><br>
Dorhak
upset about this whole situation channels his<br>
anger and swings
his mace at Shifter #3 hitting him in<br>
the chest doing 19
points of damage. The shifter collapses<br>
to the ground and
doesn't seem to move.<br><br>
Z'layha sees Shifter #3 fall and figures Fake-Kiet is<br>
the threat.
She moves in that direction ending up only<br>
10 feet
away. <br><br>
<br>
[Phase
10]<br><br>
Kiet
raises his tulwar lowering it down but raises his<br>
hand. He now
has a clear line of sight and fires his second<br>
blast of his
ring. The flame impacts right onto Fake-Kiet<br>
and dances across
his chest burning flesh doing 36 points<br>
of damage.
Which would for most creatures kill them right<br>
out but this thing
is still standing! Kiet yells out to<br>
the others,
"Don't hurt the Kells!",<br><br>
Z'leyra sees Shifter #3 and then notices Shifter #2<br>
right besides
her. Going with her plan to attack the<br>
nearest shifter
she turns and stabs the thrall of Fremea.<br>
The great sword
impales the thrall doing 27 points of<br>
damage to his
chest.<br><br>
Mae
hovering over the pile and only 2 feet from Kiet<br>
hears him
yell. Don't hurt them? Why so she can play<br>
with them
later? Sure. She bends down and takes a dagger<br>
from the numerous
pile of them and flies toward Fake<br>
Kiet and tries to
stabs the burning creature but misses.<br><br>
Unali
sees Shifter #3 not moving and bends down to<br>
stab it a few
times to ensure it can't regenerate. She<br>
glances up to see
Z'leyra attacking the one that just<br>
helped
them.<br><br>
Shifter #2 just impaled by Z'leyra looks at Shifter #3<br>
with his orders
complete. He lowers his arms to his sides<br>
and stands
there.<br><br>
Zin
lumbers toward Fake-Kell passing Kiet. It reaches<br>
the area finding
Fake-Kell blocked by Mae. Zin gently<br>
lifts Mae and
moves her away to get to Fake-Kell (#5).<br>
Zin in his haste
tries to shove with force Fake-Kell but<br>
does little
damage.<br><br>
Mae
grunts at the forward nature of Zin and then realizes<br>
he places her only
a foot away from that annoying sister<br>
of
Z'leyra!<br><br>
Fake-Kiet reaches up both harms to try to pry Fake-Kell's<br>
arm and Cryx
away. But with the flames and the pain there<br>
is a struggle that
he fails to muster strength.<br><br>
Fake
Kell looks to Zin and glares but continues his<br>
struggle to force
the Cryx into Fake-Kiet's head and it<br>
enters up to his
cheek and nose distorting and destroying<br>
flesh doing 17
more points to Fake-Kiet's head but it<br>
is amazing the
shifter remains standing.<br><br>
Unali
knows Fake-Kiet is more a threat and stands<br>
moving away from
Z'leyra and toward him in the corner.<br>
A tactical mistake
to be backed into a corner. She<br>
ducks under the
hovering Mae and leaps over the gear<br>
pile. But
then suddenly falls to her knees when she<br>
falls onto
Arawn. Being a acrobatic skilled person<br>
she falls
gracefully not plunging the dagger into his<br>
chest or doing
damage. She begins to touch his body<br>
not seeing
it. She can feel dampness all over his chest<br>
and realizes he is
bleeding. She does a mental picture<br>
in her head.
She tries to account for everyone. Including<br>
Z'layha.
This has to be Arawn.<br><br>
Fake-Kiet stabs one claw hand at Fake-Kell doing only<br>
a few minor points
of damage.<br><br>
At the
same time Fake-Kell realizes Zin could be a threat.<br>
He likes to play
that game with the hooks. Why is<br>
Zin after him
now? Fake-Kell pulls the cryx away<br>
from Fake-Kiet's
skull and turns to attack Zin.<br>
Using it as a
weapon to impale again he swipes at<br>
Zin but it does
only very minor damage against the<br>
tough
hide.<br><br>
Zin
extends his arms toward Fake-Kell but when the<br>
Cryx hits him it
forces him to drawn back and<br>
use his arms to
deflect rather than using his hook<br>
arm
tactic.<br><br>
Mae
sees Fake-Kiet's skull melting and his body<br>
burning but is
still up. But that infernal Unali<br>
is in the
way. She raises both legs and flies toward<br>
Fake-Kiet.
She stabs at the burning disgusting creature<br>
hitting doing 7
points of damage. Fake-Kiet falls backwards<br>
toward
Fake-Kell. They both collide and fall to the ground.<br><br>
Kiet
leaps over the pile of gear glaring at Mae for letting<br>
Zin harm
Fake-Kell. Seeing Fake-Kell under Fake-Kiet<br>
he rushes toward
Fake-Kiet and stabs him with his tulwar<br>
doing the final
damage to kill him. Then with his boot<br>
he shoves
Fake-Kiet off Fake-Kell and turns around to face<br>
Zin with his
shield raises ready to defend Fake-Kell.<br><br>
Z'leyra confused by Shifter #2's lack of action takes<br>
the easy strike
and impales the shifter doing another 28<br>
points of damage
but he remains leaking and standing.<br><br>
Unali
seeing Zin right next to Kiet realizes Zin could<br>
probably kill
him. There is little she can do for Arawn<br>
so stands.
With her behind Zin she stabs the creature<br>
in the back of the
neck doing 30 points of damage. For<br>
most beings it
would kill them. But for Zin it does<br>
nothing but wound
him.<br><br>
Zin
reaches out for Kiet and slams him away like a fly<br>
toward the north
wall. He moves toward Fake-Kell.<br><br>
But as
both creatures move at the same instant Fake-Kell<br>
crawls forward and
grabs the Cryx. "I always wanted to<br>
do this
Zin!" He stabs the Cryx right at where most<br>
men have their
groin doing 28 points of damage as it<br>
penetrates the
softer flesh of his abdomen and enters<br>
his body
proper.<br><br>
Mournath seeing Z'leyra wounding #2 turns and sees<br>
Kiet tossed like a
rag doll by Zin. Knowing what<br>
the creature did
to Zin he charges and stabs Zin in<br>
the back wit his
spear doing 9 points of damage. Zin<br>
falls to his knees
and collapses.<br><br>
Z'leyra stabs the dumb thrall and does the damage<br>
to kill
him.<br><br>
Fuk
sees Zin fall and anger boils in. He charges<br>
forward and stabs
the creature a few times to ensure<br>
that Zin is
dead.<br><br>
Kiet
gasps of air but yells out, "Dorhak! Mournath! Help<br>
Arawn!"<br><br>
Dorhak
turns to see the scene behind him. Zin falling.<br>
Kiet slammed
against the wall. That demon Mae hovering<br>
in the corner.
Kell #2 stabbing Kiet #2 with that glowy<br>
stick and that had
to hurt right there in the guy area!<br><br>
But
then Kiet yells to help Arawn. He looks around<br>
but sees no
Arawn. Where is he?<br><br>
Z'layha stops and surveys the scene. Two more shifters<br>
dead. But
this one that looks Kell seems to not be hostile.<br>
So she stands and
watches.<br><br>
Fake-Kell drops the Cryx and looks at Arawn. Since he<br>
can see him
clearly. He leans down and touches the Alfar.<br>
As he does his
back forms a appendage and it moves toward<br>
Kell to check his
pulse and touch him.<br><br>
A
quick mental touch of the minds and Fake-Kell<br>
looks
around. From his mental touching of Kiet he<br>
looks for the
leader. The one called Z'leyra. There<br>
some distance
away. He speaks in Marentia. "Healing<br>
will do nothing
for them. The gods who send magical<br>
healing doesn't
apply here. Items might help. But<br>
I can save one
now. Choose one of them and do it<br>
quickly as both
are at death."<br><br>
The
party all look at Z'leyra. Who to save? Kell or<br>
Arawn. Arawn
might be their only way out of this place.<br>
But it is a hard
choice. She could rush and risk healing<br>
but if there is no
way for the gods to touch magical<br>
mental energies in
this prison then it might be too<br>
late to save
them. Those near the gear pile get the<br>
rest of their gear
like Unali, Mournath, Fuk and Pyan.<br><br>
Actions?
Comments?<br><br>
Next Update..
Saturday...<br><br>
GM: Leaders have
sometimes to make that hard choice. This<br>
wasn't planned. But the logic is hard to get around<br>
A prison where gods have no influence. Magical healing<br>
comes from gods. Therefore. At this point combat is<br>
over unless Mae decides to attack Fake-Kell or the<br>
others do as well. But at this point I assume no<br>
one does unless stated otherwise. I will assume<br>
folks will collect their gear minus what Fake-Kiet<br>
tossed into the lava (satchel, Arawn's sword and<br>
Lucria's sword if I recall). I am on 4 hours sleep<br>
Tuesday and today both days So I am a bit foggy so<br>
hope those are the 3 items lost We will do a new<br>
update Saturday afternoon. This is a REAL update<br>
not a joke. So for Arawn and Kell this is serious.<br>
As to Thralls Zin and #2. I went with posted actions<br>
so sorry they were lost. But then again it was fun<br>
to get revenge on Zin by prisoner-Kell. :) That was<br>
just beautiful timing. Ironic that Mae does the death<br>
blow for Fake-Kiet but oh well. Since I am a bit<br>
foggy I'll do experience and such later next week.<br><br>
