Game Update #260 in sequence (file #452)
----------------------------------------------------------------
Admin notes: None
----------------------------update-------------------------------
[Recap] - None
[New Stuff - Current Situation]
From Unali: [Re: Actions]
After the guards are locked up, Unali will quickly check
the desks and if she finds nothing of importance, continue
back in the hallway towards the door she left alone earlier.
Having no knowledge of the fight inside she will continue
to explore and make sure this area is safe. She takes the
keys with her.
GM: Ack.
From Z'leyra: [Re: Actions]
Finding that FisherKing is beyond her powers to heal Z'leyra
takes out her dagger and eviscerates each and every gargoyle.
Too choked up to speak she has tears flowing from her eyes.
She is berserk, (hope no one stops her from cutting up
the gargoyles).
After making very, very sure that all the gargoyles are dead
(totally dismembering any that have evidence of being
scratched by FisherKing) Z'leyra will go back to FisherKing,
drop her dagger and wailing FisherKing's name pick up and
kiss his corpse.
Z'leyra carries him over to the room's corner and sits down
cradling the body in her arms. Sobbing with grief she will
ignore almost everything as she cries.
[She is turned so as to see the entire room and will react
to immediate threats. If a gargoyle enters the room she
will put FisherKing down, stand up, put her shield on,
ready her axe and go into Uncontrollable Battle Fury until
any gargoyles that entered are hacked into pieces.
If someone with a potentially fatal wound is put in front of
her she will also snap out of her grief long enough to bind
and heal the wound.
After about half an hour she will gradually come out of the
crying jag on her own.]
GM: Ack. Again this was not personal. Fate just intervened.
It could've been far worse as i outlined in ICQ. Sorry.
From Jordi: [Re: Actions]
OOC: Good idea to make two turns to end combat. Just a
doubt: haven't Jordi and the rest of the party won
expertise in shield? And Neva in dagger?
OOC: No preservation spell for Fisherking?
Jordi simply rests, without moving a lot -just the minimum
required to let someone free Kaylle. From time to time, he
walks. When the noise disappears, he starts to talk again,
but only when he is sure that nobody will be hurt again:
"Uh... sorry for the "noise"... it seems that I made
something wrong with my last invisibility spell... I hope
you're all right..."
OOC: I'm sorry, I'm the man (the elf) of the 0-level spells;
but Jordi doesn't have the resurrection spell... I checked it.
Jordi simply sees how Z'leyra uses her dagger on the gargolyes,
and decides to stay quiet... at least, until Z'leyra berserk
ends...
GM: Like I said in the experience report. I don't show everyone's
experience. Especially a diplomat or npc. They might be
recorded or not at all. Especially if they may not be in future
games. No need for it. As to Shield. I've always been
leary about giving experience just because your arm pulled up
in time to block a blow. Just seems awkward to me. I'll
get back to ya on this. Ack on the rest.

-----------------
Time: Estimated 6:17am-6:32am - Morning Day 22
GM: Had to modify time. Had it wrong for some reason. That's
the valid range directly after the combat.
This is a difficult update. I actually need more actions
and input. Especially for the next level. But heres what
I will do. I will run time 5 minutes and let you get actions
in after that. It should resolve a few things...
--------- Meanwhile in the sea cave ------------
[Damon and the others continue to get the captured ship ready
in some fashion for departure...]
--------- Meanwhile in the main Cave ------------
[Xian gets excited by something while he continues to talk
to thin air..]
--------- Meanwhile in the main Cave ------------
[Z'leyra becomes overwraught with grief, despair and anger as
she finds the body of FisherKing. Tears begin to stream down
her cheeks...]
--------- Meanwhile in Gargoyle Den ------------
[Kaylle is helped up and he points to a area the creatures
dropped his gear off. Everyone checks on others to make
sure no one has serious wounds. In this combat the only
ones to take new damage was Farseeker, Balrog, Caladan and
Trembyl. But no serious fatal wounds to worry about at
this point. Thig and Kasha examine the outside natural
portal that has a curtain over it. A clear way for the
creatures to enter and exit the cave without going through
the other areas of the mountain. They notice daylight has
started to become clear and destroying the twlight. Thig
suddenly yawns.
Jordi goes to sit against the east wall sitting out his
noise maker side effect. Neva comes to sit by him but
they keep silent. She watches him and gives a reassuring
smile every few moments.
Trembyl bandages his wounds. As well as Caladan looks
to his wounds but easilly finds them mostly hard blood
bruises.
Spaar tries to clean his sword of the gore but beams as
he is proud of taking some damage to the creatures...
Suresh starts to walk back to the main room when Aren
and the human prisoner enter.]
--------- Meanwhile in the hallway ------------
[Unali exits the prisoner room after inspecting the desk.
She finds nothing of value except a simple scroll of
merit. She doesn't read climan but she does know its a list
of prisoners at one point. It seems 5 names have been smeared
with ink and covered up. As if canceled out. But one is
still at the bottom. Most names clear the language barrier
adn this is no exception. The name is that of Qorz A'kala.
Unali figures it was once a list of prisoners. What the
canceled part means is unclear. Probably killed, transfered
or thrown to the gargoyles. She leaves unconscious guards
in the cell and heads to the hallway...back toward the stairs.]
--------- Meanwhile in Gargoyle Den ------------
[Aren and the human prisoner get to the center of the den
and look the carnage over. Aren is glad no one killed
as far as party members. Most of the party gather around
or hear Aren speak from around the cave that echos sound..]
Aren: "Glad no one was hurt. This is Qorz. I recognize him
since he was part of the second group we...Marentia sent
here to figure out things."
Qorz: [In marentian] "We were captured right after landing.
A traitor we guess. The other eight in my part are
probably dead. I saw one be taken out last night. The
others I suspect ...were ...eaten..or killed by the
Climans. Unfournately Duke Aren we could not determine
the source of power. We have failed in our quest."
[In anguish Z'leyra gets on her 4th evisceration while Qorz
speaks..she is too numb to hear much of the words much
less make wha tthey mean...]
Qorz: "Isn't..that the one who saved me?"
Aren: "Yes..but ..I'm not sure what is --"
Farseeker: "Her bird was killed by the creatures. I fear she
has gone to darkness to seek revenge."
Qorz: "Her bird?"
Suresh: "A eagle. It was only a pet."
Caladan: "Only a pet! My firesnake is only a pet. But have
you noticed her gear? That drum you've seen occasionally.
She is a Shaman. they revere nature and animals. "
Suresh: "Yes but your snake is unique I gather. A eagle is
rather commonplace."
Caladan: "You do not understand. It was obviously a companion
to her. A close friend."
Thig: "More so. I suspect the eagle is within her protection.
What shamans call a Tonah."
Kaylle: "Yes that's probably it."
Aren: "Kaylle! I didn't see you there. Your ok!"
--------- Meanwhile in the hallway ------------
[Just as Unali reaches a certain point she hears something
behind her. She turns to see a human guard walk from the
wall? Then turn and head westward. She quickly pulls a
dagger out of her belt and charges. She swings and impacts
on the back o the neck doing minor subdual damage. The guard
wearing leather and a spear (with point to ceiling and in
hand) quickly turns and tries a wild thrust with one hand
and Unali sees this clearly and dodges. Now with two daggers
in hand she swings again with both daggers. But by this time
the guard simply turns without looking back after his swing
and runs. Unali sighs. Not much of a fighter. Unali takes
a running charge and then leaps at the guard. She kicks the
guard in the back. The guard falls to the left against the
side wall hitting his nose on a large overhang. Blood spatters
as his nose may be broke. The guard falls and Unali leaps on
him and with a easy strike knocks the guard out with her dagger
hilt. She looks over her shoulder and luckilly sees no one.
But she wonders. This guy doesn't look like a bodyguard or
a wizard. She slinks carefully against the wall and finds
a door in the wall. How could she have missed this door?
Yes its dark here and yes its dark brown like the cave wall.
But surely she would have found it earlier? She finds it
unlocked and listens. For a minute she hears nothing then
enters to find another prisoner room with cells. This time
she finds several cells with occupants..]
--------- Meanwhile in Gargoyle Den ------------
Farseeker: "We need to get everyone back in the other room so we
can get back to the hall. They are likely concerned and
could be in danger."
Thig: "I'd not get close or bother her. I've seen that look
before on humans. On a female human its even more severe.
Let her get it out.."
Farseeker: "Fine let's head out!"
[By now Z'leyra is on two more gargoyles...she faintly hears
the others moving around and talking..]
[Finally everyone but Kaylle, Neva, Kasha, Z'leyra and Jordi
leave the room to the outer room. Kasha offers to stay to
guard them in case something else pops in. Kaylle feels
guilty and just watches..]
Farseeker: "Fine. We'll leave the small window in the door
open. If you need us holler or if you want out. We'll
be closing the door to get to the hallway."
[A minute later the large door opens to the relief of Cholan
and the others waiting outside. All are nervous but ok.
Suresh explains what occured inside. The large door is
shut with Valgor waiting inside to open the door for
the others when needed.]
--------- Meanwhile in the hallway ------------
[Unali finds no one outside the cells. No guards. So she
belts her daggers. She looks in the cages and finds two
cells have 3 females in them. They are dressed in peasant
like clothing. They look tired and lacking of sleep. In
the other cell across the way she finds a male who
simply looks at her direction. Nothing is said. She
inspects the desk to find nothing but a set of keys on
it and a mug of room temperature warm juice of some kind.
There is no drawers to the desk. Then Unali realizes. She
probably looks like a Climan dressed this waya and being
outside the cells confirms that belief.]
[Near the large door - ]
Trembyl: "We must explore the rest of the level and move on.
We are limited on time I feel..."
Farseeker: "Yes. Unfournately the longer we are in this
mountain the more sure we are of being found out."
Aren: "We can take you to a safe area, Qorz? Your hands
don't look in shape to fight."
Qorz: "Yes. That would be fine. I had my hands beat and
crushed. All but two fingers are almost useless without
some long term healing. They tortured me for days."
Spaar: "I can take him back to the main cave."
Aren: "All right."
Marta: "Where is the others?"
Aren: "Inside. I'll tell you what happened.." [and does..]
--------- Meanwhile in Gargoyle Den ------------
[Z'leyra quickly makes meat out of 3 more gargoyles. Then
she encounters a female. She starts to carve the creature
up when she notices this one has marks on its face like
that of a bird. She looks closer to find one eye has been
cut and a large bole or sore has formed on it. This is
one FK must've fought. Anger swells and she carves out
a masterpiece of blood on the creature...]
Neva to Jordi: "So sad. But this could leave her vulnerable.
She must deal with this or it could affect her for the
rest of the day and put her in danger. I will have to
keep an eye on her."
Kaylle: "It is my fault. I should have done more. But
I am no fighter. I am no great wizard. I'm simply a
scholar. But life is a cycle. For her one life is over
but it may bring a new one to her."
Jordi: "Huh?"
Kaylle: "Just some wisdom of the ages. In a cycle nature will
tend to compensate in some way. Surely she must know this
being a shaman herself."
[A minute or two later Z'leyra finds a gargoyle that seems to
be still breathing. Just knocked out. She takes utter
delight in giving the creature pain while it is knocked out
then finishing it off...]
[Kaylle walks around the room and inspects the carnage to
make sure he did not lose any of his gear. His bag seems
secure but he checks...when he gets near the gargoyle
that was considered their leader by the human guards. He
kneels and finds the sword. Kaylle lifts and swings it.
Then brings it near Jordi and Neva.]
Kaylle: "Magical! I thought i sensed magic. I'll go around
and check for more.."

Some decide already on their decision (some random determineation)
East - Cholan, Valgor, Balrog, Triest, Ayddar, Valgor, Troyis
West - Trembyl, Caladan, Thig, Dex, Amin, Wi,
South - Farseeker, Kasha, Ris, Suresh, Shah, Aren,
Going to Main cave - Spaar, Qorz and Marta
Neva, Jordi, Z'leyra, Chion, Unali - leaving undecided.
But Z'leyra will be awhile before she catches up.
If this update seems disorganized it was a bit. One of those
hard to do updates every once in awhile. Anyways, actions
is needed for the above.
Z'leyra its ok to grieve the entire time there is still plenty
to do and the half hour will go by fast...
At the end of the half hour (or close to) Valgor approaches you.
Valgor: "Qorz, the man you rescued says he is deeply grateful for
saving him. The guard would've killed him if you hadn't
distracted him enough for him to escape. He has returned to
the main cave. You can see him later. According to Duke Aren
he is one of the marentians sent here before us and was
captured. But as to your bird, I'm sorry to hear the news.
Would you like me to cast a preservation spell on it..err
I mean him? It would last a couple weeks and hopefully by
then we should be home in Marentia? He can then be buried
there."
Sorry for delay had no internet connection for 30 hours :<
**** Website has a updated cavemap.txt file. It contains the
full level 4 maps and bottom stats are updated. Ignore the
top player locations that's not updated. Also a updated
loot listing show loot that can be found and taken from level 4.
See the history section of the report to see what's updated.
But nothing major. Except the magical sword Kaylle finds.
Anyone want to take it?
Next update friday....
Unali if you want to leave the cell room and head to level 5 before the
others (you do have a good head start)..let me know..but the cells with people
will still be there or you can let someone know..
