<p>Fremea knows that it is important to take as much away from these creatures as she can. She scopes up as much as she can load into her bags, safely, of the jewelry, gems, and other precious items. Since, she and Arawn had already IDed the magic stuff, the
rest of it did not interest her.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>She is not worried about which direction they take, she knows she can easily get across or around, this is what she was training to do and she can fly.<br>

<br>
Z'leyra's newly acquired phobia:<br>
<br>
If Arawn is aware/empathically senses that Z'leyra has<br>
this phobia he'll ask those looking about the treasure room,<br>
<br>
"If you find a crystal drinking vessel hand it to me. I<br>
might be able to cure Z'leyra of her condition."<br>
<br>
OOC: If one is found he'll swirl his topaz within it along<br>
with some water in an effort to create the potion needed to<br>
cure her of insanity/emotional curse.<br>

<br>
Plan of Escape: [when discussing which path to take and how to get<br>
<br>
Arawn couldn't help but reflexively raise an eyebrow.<br>
<br>
"Seriously?," he said incredulously, though in a...<br>
GM: Ack. Well since I had no idea in which order you were<br>
in line hard to give details. Why I asked marching<br>
orders from Z or others. Aside form Raki/Dorhak in<br>
lead and Z in rear. So its all random since not<br>
determined. No. Not aware of her phobia. Low hum more<br>
a rumble. It is too far to figure out if shifters or<br>
humans. I know I'm surprised didn't want to cast a<br>
Hearing spell. But would you understand the language? :)<br>
If it was words.<br>
<br>
From Arawn: [Re: Actions]<br>
The lone shifter that had remained in the Middle World when<br>
all the others were imprisoned, did we determine if this was<br>
the shifter that impersonated Kiet? Or is he still running<br>
around the Middle World as far as we know?<br>
GM: Ack. This is a GM must consult script question But<br>
I don't think you have clearance. :) But no one<br>
has really worked on those details. :)<br>
<br>
From Z'leyra: [Re: Actions]<br>
"Dear Sister, these offerings were for our gods, not for thieves who<br>
GM: Ack. How long do you take doing this searching<br>
for the flawless and best weapons? I have a clock<br>
going and need to know before shifters start to<br>
roam looking for those who killed Zin. Do you take<br>
30 sec? 1 minute? 2 minute? Even talking ticks<br>
that clock down. With hundreds of shifters around<br>
if they start chasing folks its all over. No matter<br>
how many you have in party it will be bad. Look<br>
what was lost in attacking 3? Kell, Lucria, etc. BTW<br>
technically the whole bridge thing with Kiet was<br>
not known by the party. So I'm unsure how you and<br>
Arawn know this? :)<br>
<br>
------------------------------------------------------------<br>
[New Stuff]<br>
<br>
[Febris 9th, 1635TH]<br>
[Time: 5:01 pm]<br>
<br>
[Earlier in Audience Chamber...]<br>
<br>
After Fuk vocally attacks Mae.<br>
<br>
Arawn had resisted the urge to respond to the man's outburst<br>
when it happened. The impact of Lucria's death and Mae's reveal<br>
was too fresh and the scene too dangerous to afford an<br>
explanation. So at that time he only allowed for their eyes to<br>
meet, his own reflecting a calm coolness, as he nodded to a<br>
future conversation. But Mae was another story, the alfar<br>
sensing that she was not as closed off as the inspector. He<br>
maintained his silence but laid a gentle hand on above her<br>
balled fist when no one was looking. It was brief but conveyed<br>
sympathy as he hoped that it might allow her to relax, if<br>
only a bit.<br>
<br>
<br>
[Moments before arriving in Treasure room...]<br>
<br>
Arawn had hoped to move forward upon hearing of the fire-<br>
breathing creature but it was already too late, Dorhak having<br>
already stepped around the bend to face it. By the time he<br>
managed to squeeze past the others the deed was done, the<br>
creature lying still upon the stony ground.<br>
<br>
"A pity," he said in a hushed tone. "I had hoped to commune<br>
with it. It might be native or even sent here by the gods to<br>
help contain the other shifters here. If we run into another<br>
I would like the opportunity to see if we can gain its aid."<br>
<br>
He then moved to examine the remains, a quiet prayer on his<br>
lips as he did so, moving quickly as he knew time was of the<br>
essence.<br>
<br>
Raki ignores the creature, "native they were here when<br>
we came here. There are fire insects as well. But<br>
not everything is friendly."<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
[At the tribute cave...]<br>
<br>
As Z'layha collects herself and returns Fuk speaks<br>
to Arawn about helping the Shaman.<br>
<br>
"It should be her decision, though it would be a poor one,<br>
I think. Aside from the violation if done without her<br>
approval there is the fact that some measure of the truth<br>
should exist within the Moss Fortress. I think such a place<br>
came into being for a reason, when the truth was still out<br>
there. But likely time had muddled this and look at the trouble<br>
it has caused. Secrecy should still cover this place but those<br>
who guard, at least some, should be aware lest they once again<br>
accidentally allow those within a chance to escape."<br>
<br>
"But I will seek guidance on this after our escape."<br>
<br>
Z'layha returns to the cave after getting sick. <br>
<br>
Z'layha is shocked by the looting of the tributes.<br>
<br>
"Those you sacrificed to are not your gods. They are not<br>
your dead," he said, gently, for he knew she was undergoing<br>
shock - a long held belief now being shaken as truth entered<br>
her mind. He knew in the aftermath of their escape that it<br>
would be a severe test of her mettle and faith and hoped she<br>
would be able to grow from it instead of being swallowed up<br>
by her doubts. "This is a prison, one I can tell you more of<br>
after our escape."<br>
<br>
"Know, these items were offered with sacred intent but did<br>
not arrive to those you might have imagined. So take them back<br>
now and find a good and noble use for them, even cleansing them<br>
to offer in service to those you do worship. Or to help your<br>
people for there is damage to be undone by the mischief of the<br>
lone shifter in the Middle World after our return."<br>
<br>
Raki cocks his head to hearing that last sentence. But<br>
he remains silent for now.<br>
<br>
Z'layha comments on not seeing some items for a long time.<br>
<br>
"It's interesting that you can recognize that. It must be<br>
the design. Perhaps we can discuss the significance later, if<br>
you're then so inclined." Arawn commented as he stashes<br>
loot in bags.<br>
<br>
Z'layha frowns, "each generation crafts things differently.<br>
It is a matter of history."<br>
<br>
"Dear Sister, these offerings were for our gods, not for<br>
thieves who didn't even value them. Let us return what we can<br>
to those who do value them. Help us carry out the best of the<br>
gems, jewels and other items." So saying Z'leyra tries to make<br>
sure that any flawless gems and the best of the jewelry gets<br>
carried by her or someone in the party. Any needing weaponry<br>
she will push to take the finest weapon of the type they can<br>
use.<br>
<br>
<br>
[The open 'window' to large cavern]<br>
<br>
Raki discloses news of a second way past.<br>
<br>
Arawn couldn't help but reflexively raise an eyebrow.<br>
<br>
"Seriously?," he said incredulously, though in a very<br>
quiet voice, not daring to risk being overheard by any nearby<br>
shifters. "We have a shifter who can turn into stone and<br>
whose transformations are not overly limited by mass."<br>
<br>
"Raki can form himself into a bridge of sorts to allow us<br>
to bypass either the hall or the lava pit, although I would<br>
prefer the latter considering how sharp the shifters senses<br>
are." Arawn speaks up on this topic. <br>
<br>
"Raki, our magics are hindered here. Normally we could<br>
teleport us out. Or go invisible and levitate out. But I have<br>
lost many of my magical tools and I cannot reliably cast magic<br>
here. Is Arawn correct? Can you make a bridge that can conceal<br>
us and get us out of here?" Z'leyra adds to the topic of<br>
bridges. <br>
<br>
Raki cocks his head a odd gesture he learned from Kell's<br>
memory. "I had...not considered that."<br>
<br>
Actions? Comments?<br>
<br>
Next Update.. Wednesday...<br>
<br>
GM: A short update. I got some posts this afternoon and<br>
they were big as well as emails. So the last minute<br>
stuff delayed things. I could've done work Friday<br>
but nothing was around till today. It is now almost<br>
10pm and tired. So will end it for now here. I<br>
assume the lava tunnel is the route taken? If so<br>
will tick those seconds away in my private clock. Each<br>
word spoken and each item searched takes time But<br>
then again time is relative. :)<br>
<br>
This week may be hectic. I'll be off Thursday for<br>
a college graduation. So I could do a Friday update<br>
then or Wednesday if enough posts/time. I will<br>
assume the lava tunnel though so will move there<br>
unless stated otherwise. I may swap a day Tue/wed for<br>
Thursday so if I do Wednesday then might delay things.<br>
Just won't know till probably Monday. So update<br>
will go out when I can. <br>
<br>
GM: Treasure.<br>
Deadline reached. I think I mentioned the deadline. :)<br>
So 'heaps' of treasure will be some random factor since<br>
not a exact amount. Since only the below posted<br>
aside from 2 others in private emails those posted<br>
will get the treasure. The bulk will be left behind.<br>
<br>
I'll be kind and extend it till Tuesday. But keep<br>
in mind you need to let me know how long you spend<br>
looking for specific loot than stuffing bags Keep<br>
in mind I think aside from Unali/Fremea not many<br>
bags around. <br>
<br>
Dorhak: grab jewelry, jewels (no gold at all on room)<br>
Mae : belt, 1 random necklace<br>
Fuk : heaps of jewels and jewelry<br>
<br>
Party/Magical items grabbed:<br>
Metal Helmets: 4<br>
Bastard Sword: 3<br>
Short Sword : 1<br>
Daggers : 4<br>
