[Recap]<br><br>
From Fremea: [Re:
Actions]<br>
Fremea shakes her
head as she sees Raki run past ...<br>
GM: Ack.<br><br>
From Kiet: [Re: Actions]<br>
If any of the
Zin-like shifters gets close enough, Kiet will<br>
fire off as many
ring Smokeless Flames as he can. After that,<br>
if we don't
advance out of their reach, Kiet will use his<br>
shield's Earth
Strength spell.<br><br>
Even in this gods
forsaken place, there are elements, so<br>
likely
Elementals. If Kell were here in person, he could<br>
call up some to
fight with us.<br>
GM: Ack.<br><br>
From Mae: [Re: Actions]<br>
Maelorna can see
the flames and the heat building...<br>
GM: Ack.<br><br>

[New Stuff]<br><br>
[Febris 9th,
1635TH]<br>
[Time: 5:01
pm]<br><br>
[Phase 3]<br><br>
Only
30 feet from the top of the slope the shifters<br>
stare at the party
members. Then they realize the lava<br>
opening and are a
bit confused. But this is when<br>
Z'leyra and Kiet
unleash their magics.<br><br>
Kiet
raises both arms and releases both sets of rings.<br>
Each one at a
single shifter. Kiet's left pinky ring<br>
fires and hits the
first target doing 18 points of damage<br>
as the creature
becomes riddled with flames. But<br>
the right pinky
ring seems to fail.<br><br>
Z'leyra unleashes a fire dart from her helmet and<br>
it hits shifter #2
doing 26 points of damage as it<br>
impacts squarely
on his chest. But both shifters seem<br>
still alive and
moving. <br><br>
The
lava begins to spill through the now open hole.<br>
At first it just
drips and small lines. Until a large<br>
chunk of lava
tumbles outward and into the virgin slope<br>
and burning the
slop as it rolls down.<br><br>
Fremea
adds, "Well, that should help heat things up a bit."<br>
Looking at the
lava as it pours out.<br><br>
Fremea
shakes her head as she sees Raki run past her. What<br>
was he thinking?
Everyone needs to be here, to make sure they can<br>
go through when it
is ready to let us. She knows that he has<br>
helped them a lot
and Kiet would be upset if he didn't come<br>
with them. She
flies quickly to catch up with him and help<br>
him with whatever
it is. She will have her bow readied.<br><br>
Fremea
rushes down the slop toward the shifters. She<br>
uses a acrobatic
maneuver with her wings to bat them away<br>
before they can
touch her. She flies past and reaches<br>
the bottom.
As she reaches the bottom of the slop to ht<br>
passage leading
away she sees Raki just rounding the<br>
corner some 60
feet away. She grabs her bow and then<br>
flies after
him.<br><br>
Maelorna can see the flames and the heat building up, while<br>
she should feel
the stifling heat and not want to be here.<br>
From somewhere in
her mind, she feels more at home. 'Damn<br>
it, I don't have
time for this, I need to get out of here with<br>
the others.' she
thinks for a moment as she gathers at the lip<br>
of the
incline.<br><br>
Watches potential meals gather down below and mentally tells<br>
the voice to shut
up. She sighs, "It seems as soon as we got<br>
here, the hunger
has gotten worse than I've ever dealt with it<br>
before." she
grouses<br><br>
Mae
can hear Raki ask for her assistance and gives a knowing<br>
smile,
"Happily." she yells out gleefully as she takes wing and<br>
follows him.
Wondering if she couldn't do a fly by feeding,<br>
not having had to
worry about it before.<br><br>
Mae
flies down the slope after Fremea. But she is not as<br>
fast as the agile
Fae and only reaches about 40 feet down just<br>
10 feet behind the
shifters above. She glances over her<br>
shoulder to ensure
they don't come after her.<br><br>
Arawn
while watching the diamond spheres, projection and<br>
the runes all at
once moves closer. From behind he sees<br>
flashes of light
but is unsure if that is fire or flame<br>
as he is not
looking toward the party now. He reaches<br>
the same point as
the runes. His eyes pinpoint the Sidh<br>
runes and reads as
he traces his fingers along the<br>
runes to help form
a concept in his mind of a 3rd image.<br><br>
Both
shifters stare and contort their faces in anger<br>
at the two that
fired the flames at them. They move<br>
forward. At
this point the lava is minor and can be<br>
avoided.
<br><br>
But as
the first shifter leaps upward a human head<br>
size of burning
lava rolls out of the hole and almost<br>
slams into the
shifter. He dodges to the right and into<br>
the wall forcing
his ascent to stop.<br><br>
But
the second shifter runs and leaps toward the party<br>
at the top of the
slope forming four claw hands to attack<br>
at the same
time. In his wild frantic attempt to kill<br>
something he moves
toward Z'leyra but in fact his claws<br>
move closer to
Mournath, Pyan and Dorhak. <br><br>
Two
claws reach and swipe toward Mournath. One claw is<br>
blocked by
Mournath's shield but the other does hit taking<br>
a bit of blood (2
points) from his chest.<br><br>
The
claw toward Pyan impacts fully gouging out a severe<br>
deep wound on his
chest doing 24 points of damage. Pyan<br>
falls to his knees
unconscious. But before he can fall<br>
down the slop
Z'layha leaps and grabs his belt backwards<br>
to her.<br><br>
The
last claw tries to hit Dorhak but fails entirely.<br><br>
Raki
rounds the corner and flies after the fleeing<br>
shifter who is now
a good 50 feet head start down the<br>
passage.<br><br>
Z'leyra thrusts her great sword at the shifter and<br>
impales the still
flaming beast in his left ribs<br>
(if they have
ribs) doing 16 points of damage. <br><br>
Fuk
moves between Kiet and Z'leyra at the top of the<br>
cramped
space. He sees Pyan almost killed if not dead<br>
by now and moves
to the shifter. He knows his sword<br>
will do
little. So he decides on a new tactic He<br>
sweeps low and
kicks out to trip the shifter. But as<br>
his feet impact
onto the side of his leg it is like hitting<br>
a stone wall and
nothing happens.<br><br>
Z'layha pulls Pyan away a few feet down the passage<br>
to try to stop the
bleeding. She finds he is still alive<br>
but weak.
The poor hunter almost dying yet again. As she<br>
does this she
continues her speech, "...lead the others to<br>
safety. If someone
is going to release..."<br><br>
Kiet
pulls his tulwar now at close range and tries<br>
to quickly bash
the shifter with his shield in hopes<br>
to dislodge him
from the top. But the shield bashes<br>
the creature's
head and seems to do nothing.<br><br>
Dorhak
sees Kiet's tactics and growls and with<br>
a slight crouch
pushes forward with his own shield<br>
and impacts
squarely on the shifter. But at the<br>
same time he
swings his mace toward the shifter's<br>
knees and gets
behind his left knee and causes the<br>
leg to
flinch. This causes the shifter to stumble<br>
backwards.
Together with the momentum of the shield<br>
bash the shifter
falls and tumbles backwards down<br>
the slope straight
for the lava.<br><br>
The
shifter splashes into the lava and screams a very<br>
animal like
yell.<br><br>
<br>
[Phase 4]<br><br>
Kiet
lowers his tulwar and again raises both<br>
arms to fire a
second blast from his rings. he<br>
knows he used some
already so may not be able to<br>
but he
tries. He aims at the one below that dodged<br>
the lava.
The left ring fires off but the right one<br>
does not this
time. The flame hits the second shifter<br>
leaning against
the wall. It engulfs the creature<br>
again and does
another 24 points of damage.<br><br>
Z'leyra also tries to fire a second time at the same<br>
shifter. But
the magic never goes off it seems. No<br>
fire dart is
seen.<br><br>
By now
the lava is gushing into the passage. The<br>
shifter that is
now lying in the lava becomes engulfed<br>
in the lava and
takes another 15 points of damage.<br>
The lava is now
pools that stretch from wall to wall as<br>
it pours
down. Lava chunks as big as horse heads and<br>
as small as small
pebbles slide down the slope.<br><br>
Fremea
rounds the corner and flies after Raki who is<br>
now about 10 feet
ahead. She sees the passage is dark<br>
but a bright spot
is down the passage maybe 90 feet or<br>
100 feet
away. She realizes based on the look of it that<br>
must be the rock
'window' that opened to the cavern of<br>
the shifters. The
shifter is now about halfway there. She<br>
loads her bow to
fire to stop the shifter.<br><br>
Mae
rounds the corner and ends up about 15 feet behind<br>
Fremea but can see
the same thing. This will be a long<br>
and hard
chase. So Raki needs to stop the shifter from<br>
calling his
buddies. If that happens all things fail.<br><br>
Unali
stares at both shifters in pain and flame and<br>
realizes these
things are tough to kill. She waits at<br>
the top of the
slope watching the lava pour out.<br><br>
Arawn
finishes his reading of the side runes. "To give<br>
fully of one self
means willing to devote oneself to the<br>
greater
good. To pass simply end the magic and move forward.<br>
The chosen one can
determine level of magic to end. The<br>
inner light and
the greater light will deem you worthy. "<br>
Arawn realizes
this must mean what the projection meant.<br>
Could dispel the
ward fully, partially or what not. These<br>
unique wards are
not typical start/stop wards but start/<br>
partially end/end
wards. Unique to divine influence. Arawn<br>
wonders if his own
father stood here placing these wards?<br>
But could it be
that easy? Just dispel the ward?<br><br>
The
projection looks own the passage to those fighting the<br>
shifters.
"It is almost too late."<br><br>
Raki
yells out in his own language to the shifter in front.<br>
But Fremea and Mae
do not understand. The fleeing shifter<br>
runs another great
span and reaches only 10 feet from the<br>
rock
'window'. But he turns and faces Raki who slows down.<br><br>
The
shifter then forms wings and begins to flap them.<br>
Raki has no choice
and extends his arms decreasing his own<br>
body mass to
half. In doing so the arms reach out and<br>
toward the wings
and pulls it forward.<br><br>
But
the captured shifter starts to emit a high pitched<br>
subsonic
hum. The vibration can be felt and heard down<br>
the entire length
of the passage.<br><br>
At the
same time the other two shifters at the slope<br>
move. The
one in the lava tries to get to his knees<br>
and rushes up the
slope as flesh peels off from him<br>
as if he is in
major decay from the lava and fire. He<br>
reaches upwards
with 4 arms. But two of them seem to<br>
drop to his side
as they go limp. The other two arms<br>
reach for
Z'leyra. The arms swipe toward her chest wildly<br>
in desperation but
her armor blocks the damage.<br><br>
The
other shifter tries to form into a winged creature to<br>
avoid the lava but
the cohesion of the heat affects him<br>
as well as the
previous damage. The creature flaps twice<br>
and then falls
directly into the lava. It becomes engulfed<br>
with the flames
and does not move again.<br><br>
Z'leyra tries to cut off one of the shifter's arms as it<br>
flails back and
forth but she misses.<br><br>
Fuk
however is able to hit one of the arms and does<br>
7 points of damage
to it as it waves back and forth.<br><br>
Z'layha tries to stop the bleeding of Pyan but it is<br>
severe.
"Sister help!"<br><br>
Dorhak
swings his mace at the last shifter and hits him<br>
doing the final
damage to kill him. The shifter falls<br>
down the slope and
slides into the lava burning.<br><br>

Update....Wednesday...<br><br>
GM: A short
update. Sorry Pyan just bad dice yet again.<br>
Your luck is not good lately. :< You are still alive<br>
but barely. Now both shifters are gone. But what<br>
is the 3rd one doing? I would try to do update Saturday.<br>
But there are some conflicting things so chances are<br>
slim I may not. So if not then I can try to do it<br>
Monday night if able. If not then it'll be next Wednesday.<br>
The shifter is only 10 feet from the rock window the party<br>
was at earlier. <br><br>
GM: Fremea - You
are about 60 feet away from the last shifter<br>
now captured by Raki.<br><br>
Mae - You are 15 feet behind Fremea so about 75 feet from<br>
the shifter. PMR=X X=10 feet. So if it says pmr 4<br>
then you move 4 or 4x10=40 feet in one phase.<br><br>
