Game Update #277 in sequence (file #469)
----------------------------------------------------------------
Admin notes: None
----------------------------update-------------------------------
[Recap] - None
[New Stuff - Current Situation]
From Unali: [Re: Actions]
Unali will drag the unconscious guard out of the room and
leave him in the hallway near the crossing to the south,
where group ABC is. She will say: "Watch him, but he is
out for a while. If the others return from below, they
can add him to the prisoners too"
If she spots Kaylle along the way, she will point him to
the room and the many paperwork to be checked out.
Then she will move towards the stairs up: "Jordi, anyone
else, want to come up. A few should stay to guards the
priestess, but I think some others should move up and
explore the next level. If that priestess has any means to
warn others, we could get trapped here. Better to surprise
them."
Unali plans to explore the next level, carefully not to
be spotted.
GM: ACk.
From Chion: [Re: Actions]
Chion is calculating the layout of this place and thinks
that possibly a "back-door" approach is warranted. He will
slip away and see if he thinks he can use insubstantial
and invisibility (not nec cast in that order!) go through
the wall(s) into the room the preistess and guards are in
from the other hallway. Looks entirely doable from the map,
but let me know if you think he would think otherwise.
He has seen an obstacle and is attempting to overcome it.
If he can get into the room with the priestess and the
guards, then he will make a play to kill the priestess with
an assassination attempt as per his usual MO.
Was thinking of going through room J, back down that hallway
and through the wall... Chion will slit the throat of the
KO'd guard(s) on his way also.
GM: Ack.
From Jordi: [Re: Actions]
After clearing the NW of the level, Jordi stops for some
moments and begins to think what to do. He joins with the
rest of the party members who aren't involved in the "siege"
of the priestess: "I suggest going to the next level. The
priestess can tell the people of the upper levels, using
magic or teleporting, what is going on; perhaps there are
stairs in the room where she is; we need to attack them
before they organize. I suggest Unali goes first, and the
rest can follow her; Wi can go to tell the others what we
are doing."
GM: Ack.
From Z'leyra: [Re: Actions]
Since she wasn't there when it happened, Z'leyra asks if
anyone saw which way the priestess had gone. She wonders
aloud whether Thig or Kaylle could fly over the slime to
check out the room east of Rm. K, and if after the NW is
cleared we could all go through or around the messhall in
order to check the SW. (Might have to break through a wall).
As soon as the wounded can be moved she moves north out of
the hallway and about ten feet east in order to avoid being
targeted by further spells from the priestess. After healing
is done she will want to explore the messhall (and room south
of it) and the possibility of breaking through the south
(west) wall.
GM: Ack. Aren will explain where the priestess is. Your safe
from the priestess where you are. In fact if the slime
is still there she can't get to you or use spells. But
its still good idea to move the wounded. Wow lots
of coordination to do here. I gotta time this carefully.
---------------------------Actions---------------------------
Time: Estimated 6:54am-7:09am - Morning Day 22
[Level 6]
[West Hallway - South/North]
[Chion with an idea in his head heads for Room J]
[Unali drags the guard body out into the hallway.]
[Z'leyra cleans up and asks helps from a couple of the
diplomats to drag Trembyl away from the area. She
also asks Thig about the room to the south.]
[Jordi also starts to head to the main hallway and
asks if others want to join him for the next level.]
Farseeker: "We'll join you soon Jordi. We need to
deal with her here first."
[A minute later..]
[The wounded Trembyl is put against the wall at E24.]
Aren : "Will he be all right?"
[Z'leyra nods and says he is just knocked out. He
will leave. But until he gets more healing the
burns may sting a bit. He'll be out for some time.]
[Unali gets the guard out into the hallway as she
notices the others. She heads to them and joins
Jordi and Neva to go to the next level. Unali
finds Kaylle in a room and tells him of the papers
in Room J. He quickly flies toward that room.]
[Chion reaches Room J and enters. Before reaching
the wall he casts a quick insubstantial spell. He
then moves through the desk seeing it has worked.
He then casts invisiblity and it goes off just
as Kaylle enters the room and sees him poof out.
But Kaylle just notices a shimmer and thinks he
is seeing things. He heads for the desk.
Chion knows he only has about 20 feet of wall then
the hallway...]
[Jordi, Unali and Neva take a quick jog down the hall
to the stairs with Unali leading the way since she
knows where it is.]
[West Hallway - South]
[Chion emerges out into the darkened hall. Its pitch
black in this area of the hall. He heard the priestess
entered some room to the south. He looks around and
waits for his eyes to adjust. He notices a lone guard
standing about 20 feet away waiting and staring for
attackers to the east.]
[West Hallway - North]
[Z'leyra stands and heads to the messhall. She quickly
covers to the south wall to inspect it.. With Triest
behind her wondering her plan.]
[West Hallway - South]
[Thig hears Z'leyra's suggestion and flies quickly to
the south. He then flies to the room directly south
of the room. It is dark but he listens and hears
nothing. His eyes adjust and it looks like a bigger
office but a office still. No one here. Should
he light the room up to look around?]
[Chion crosses and finds a keyhole light into a room.
He tracks and follows it through the door. There
are 3 people. He sees one guard against the wall
standing. The priestess at her desk looking over
scrolls. She seems to have started burning some.
Her assumed bodyguard is next to her on the left.
Chion could try to take her out but 3? It'll be
difficult.]
[North Hallway]
[Unali, Jordi and Neva get about halfway down the hall..]
[Room L]
[Z'leyra discovers the wall is thicker than expected.
If only the dwarf was still with them. He'd probably
could tell the depth just by looking. But the boulders
are clearly thick. Maybe ten..or even 20 feet thick.
It could take alot of work to break through...]
[Room K]
[Xian examines the scrolls in Timon's office. Luckilly
they are mostly in Marentian his brother's native tongue.]
[Room J]
[Kaylle starts to examine the many scrolls in the room.
Most of them appear logistical information.]
[North offices..]
[Suresh and a few others continue to search for papers
in the various north offices..]
[South Priestess office]
[Chion sees the guard against the wall is holding a Pike
and is wearing chainmail. The bodyguard is holding
a loaded Arbalest and has a dagger on his belt. Not
much of a close range bodyguard. The priestess doesn't
seem to show weapons or armor through her dress.]
Bodyguard: "How about we go through your rock destruction
spells?"
Priestess: "Yes. We may do that once I get rid of these.
By now the ritual is almost complete so it--"
[Location - Everywhere in the mountain from the Ship cave
to the rooms on level 6, to the prison, to the prisoner
cells, to the main cave...]
[Suddenly everyone feels suddenly a wave of something
overcome them. First it strikes their chest then
their heart and then spine and brain. It seems to
just go through each and every person. No visible
energy or force but just a overwhelming sense of
dread or energy exchange. As if someone was stroke
by a energy source or kicked in the chest. Some
in the party lose their breaths. Some pitch over
and fall on their knees. The Faerry and Elves seem
to gasp for breath then recover quickly. Then as
quickly as it came the sensation seems to fade away
slowly. But a sense of weakness seems to be the result
for everyone as if personal strength has been sapped.]
[Ship Cave...]
[Damon examining the sails of the ship for damage from
recent activity suddenly slips to the ground safely at
the strange sensation. He notices the others helping him
also seem to be affected. He looks over at the enemy
sailors tied up who were just taunting them moments ago
and now seem as pale as the others..]
[Room J]
[Kaylle twitchs on the floor and then quickly sits up
after the sensation. He wonders what hte heck was
that sensation.]
[Room L]
[Triest falling to his knees looks to Z'leyra for help
but she also seems to have leaned against her staff
for leverage. He eyes her wondering what is up.]
[North Hallway]
[The rest of the party members seem to be affected in
different ways. No one seems to be damaged as far
as anyone sees. They look pale and dizzy as to what
has just occured.]
Caladan: "What..?"
[South Priestess office]
[As the sensation overcomes those in the room Chion
suddenly feels dizzy..he then feels mass come back
to him ..but wait its early isn't it? Then he
looks down and supports himself on the table but
notices a quick grayish flash and he sees his
hands..but then they quickly disappear again? What
the heck is going on?]
Priestess: "Ahh. That was it. Now it won't be long
for our glory to overtake the world!"
Guard with pike: "Priestess Mator! I just saw something
or someone there!" [he points to where Chion is. Both
bodyguard and priestess stand and look but see nothing
as the guard lowers his pike.]
[Chion loses mass again and goes insubstantial. How
can this be? Hes still hidden. Good. But he heard
the guard..]
GM: Got about 9 seconds left of insubstantial and
about 45-50 seconds left of invisibility.
[Room N]
[Thig looks up after the sensation. He knows what just
occured. Something that happens to certain indviduals
but was this just to him? He then quickly does a brain
scan of memory and thoughts to try to tie things together.
Wasn't there something of a festival today?]
[North Hallway]
[Unali seems to have just lose some breath for a second
or two but Jordi seems to have been on his knees during
the odd sensation. Neva helps him up. She looks
at Unali and can tell all 3 were affected. She
peers down the hall and notices others staggering to
stand back up.]
Neva: "It affected more than us." [She turns back to
Unali] "Should we continue up?"
[Level 1 - Main Cave]
[The animals went berserk seconds before the sensation hit
the main cave. The horses made noises and tried to
escape their ropes. The dogs barked loudly. The ferret
seemed to hide under the wagon and dig a hole. The
catatonic hippogriff seems to have felt something but
did not resist as much. After the sensation..]
Qorz: "What the heck was that?"
Talz: "Don't know. But could it be related to the fog
stuff we saw?"
Marta: "Fog stuff?"
Qorz: "I don't know. Could the party be dead?"
Talz: [Shrugs] "If so should we leave?"
Time: Estimated 6:57am-7:12am - Morning Day 22
[Three minutes pass..]

Thig sees the same layout of the office above. For chion though
I'm plotting positions.
Chion, note the scale here. Each column is 2 feet. Each row
is 5 feet. Thug your about 22 feet from the Pike guard. About
12 feet from the bodyguard. Around 15-17 feet from the priestess.
The room is well lit with candles and lanterns.
