Game Update #311 in sequence (file #513)
----------------------------------------------------------------
Admin notes: Ok. Those nasty Dwarves heard about one of their
kind making an appearance in a update soon so they wanted their
share. They demand to tell jokes and be heard or else they'll
get drunk and start singing. So to comply the update is full
of jokes. Laugh at your choosing...
----------------------------update-------------------------------
[Recap] - None
[New Stuff - Current Situation]
Who did Frankenstein take to the prom?
His ghoul friend
How should you fix a jack-o-lantern?
With a pumpkin patch.
From Z'leyra: [Re: ACtions]
"Thank you, kind sir" Z'leyra replies to Xian "You have saved
my life, I owe you." [If she can make a second enhanceable
chalcedony from the treasure after enhancing hers, she will
give the second to Xian with the offer to let him have it as
is or to have her try to enhance it.]
After dressing she comes out and welcomes the winged sidh.
Expecting Varange, she will courtsy and smilingly say in
their Tongue "You and your courageous band are most timely.
It is a pleasure to see you again and I am glad to see you
healthy and hearty. I daresay that you and your band are
welcome to any objects you collected or can recover from
the airship that just crashed."
"Do you have official word as to the requested disposition
of the magics that make the airships float? Or in regards
to the Staff of the Elements?" {She does not mention the
bump on her head.}
GM: Ack. As to Xian he'll not need it. Hes not one for much
magical items. He doesn't even use a staff but just a normal
war staff :)
How does a werewolf like his eggs for breakfast?
Terrorfried!
What's it like to be kissed by a vampire?
It's a pain in the neck.
From Z'leyra: [Re: In memory of...]
Later...
Invocation for spirit of Hippogriff:
Hippogriff
A thanks for your help
A hope for your heart
A blessing for thee
May your spirit fly free
Burial of FisherKing:
FisherKing
My friend, my companion
my guardian from youth
Teacher, protector
playmate in sooth
You taught me to fly
You guarded my back
And killed many foes
when enemies attacked
My sole living link
to the days of my youth
We flew o'er our families
we flew far in our need
Now you've flown even further
much further indeed
You've parted the veil
between living and dead
you fly free as a spirit
when all has been said
Your memories sustain me
memories I hold dear
I rejoice that your spirit
flies far and flies near
whether staying as spirit
or reborn again
My hopes and my prayers
fly with you, my friend.
GM: That was very nice. I'd give a Role Playing Point just
for that if I could :) But never mourn for long...for you
never know what's around the corner...
Whom did the ghost invite to his party?
Anyone he could dig up!
What is a baby ghost's favorite game?
Peek-a-boo!
From Jordi: [Re: Actions]
Jordi is quite surprised by the timely arrival of the band
of faerries.
He speaks with them in their tongue, and translates to
Marentian their words, so anyone can speak with them, if so
wishes.
"Hello. My name is Jordi. Thank you very much for your
help with the Clyman ship."
Jordi will help preparing everything for leaving as soon
as posible the cave and Clyma.
GM: Ack. In fact the leader - Varange - knows Marentian
quite well. :)
What do you get from an angry cow?
Sour cream.
Did you hear about the cheap vampire hunter?
He tried to kill a vampire by driving a pork chop through its
heart because steaks were too expensive.
---------------------------Update------------------------------
Time: 11:34-11:49am
Why did Dracula break up with his sweetie?
She wasn't his blood type.
What do little ghosts drink?
Evaporated milk.
What did the little ghost have in his rock collection?
Tombstones.
GM: First sorry those Dwarfs demand equal time and their
jokes are bad but they are almost over. Second, I meant
to include far more detail and more stuff in the last
update but I ran out of time before bed time. I wanted
to detail more the combat on ship and the falling effect.
But that's done now. Sorry. We'll move on to part 2
which I wanted to include in last update...

------------------------------------------------------
[As the ship falls. It burns from the mast and disintegrates
into millions of pieces of driftwood as it impacts against
the hard water. Those below decks surely drown. But
surprisingly there are 3 survivors. One is attacked by
a group of faerry and he drowns. But two are chased off
by Kaylle and Caladan in eagle form and protected. The
Faerry back off and regroup. Then they suddenly turn in
the sky and head for the mountain.
As Xian and Z'leyra emerge in the cave, Trembyl is beaming
happy to see the ship fall then grins again seeing the
now visible Z'leyra.]
Z'leyra: "Thank you, kind sir" Z'leyra replies to Xian "You have
saved my life, I owe you."
Xian: "Was no problem ma'am. In fact we are now equal. You
saved my life remember? We are now even." [He releases
her from his arms and shly looks away] "No go get dressed."
[Trembyl winks at Xian and then turns to look at the faerry
approaching the cave.]
Trembyl: "Who are they?"
Xian: "I have a feeling who it is. They are apparently on
our side so we better warn the others." [He walks to the
inside lip of the cave where the sea cave is and yells out]
"The ship is down. We have two surviors. Send a small boat
to collect them! We have friendly's approaching - faerry.
Do not attack them. At least not now!"
[Thig returns to the mountain and sees thsoe in the gargoyle
pit..]
Thig: "No need to attack. Might as well return below. Those
coming are faerry..while I'd love to shoot their leader
down we best not for now..." [then he flies down and goes
into the sea cave through the secret hole]
[The ship's boat is prepared with Damon, Triest and 3 diplomats
to go get the survivors. The sea cave curtain is lifted just
up enough to let them out. By then the first of the faerry
also arrive. The first are 3 faerry.]
[One of the faerry has a familiar face to some. He is wearing
a uniform o sorts with a shoulder pad and sashes on the pad
like those o naval officers of the napolenic era. It is
deep navy blue with a red sash diagonal down the right side
of the vest. He is carrying a crossbow on his back, daggers
and a sword in a sheath of faerry length and manufacture.
The other two seem to have repeating crossbow of faerry
design and short swords. The leader lands and looks over
the assembling party. By now Jordi and the others have come
down running from the gargoyle cave to meet the newcomers.]
Farseeker: "Varange....you would arrive just as we were
finishing up things...as usual."
Varange: "Fars, you know I would've been here sooner. I
was pre-occupied. But I did help your team up there.
Seems like I'm always saving your backsides."
Xian: "We had things under control. We took this mountain!"
Farseeker: "Xian! You actually left home. What made
you build up your courage!?"
[After dressing she comes out and welcomes the winged sidh.
Expecting Varange, she will courtsy and smilingly say in their
Tongue]
Z'leyra: "You and your courageous band are most timely. It is
a pleasure to see you again and I am glad to see you healthy
and hearty. I daresay that you and your band are welcome to
any objects you collected or can recover from the airship
that just crashed."
Varange: "Z'leyra! Nice to see you again as well. I see you
are doing well. Wait..oh I saw you out there? Naked? [he grins]
Were you on that ship? ...oh you must've been one of those
eagles? Nice! What was that thing you were carrying?"
[Caladan now back and dressed walks in]
Xian: "Never mind about that. How did you get here so fast?
We last saw you ..four days ago? Then you left to go
to the lower world?"
Varange: "I never do things without preparation you should
know that Xian. I had that portal go to a place i could
easilly return to my people and then back here through
other methods. I actually arrived on the Skyhawk, our
military ship, we gave chase of that flying ship and
figured it was coming here. We mounted a aerial attack.
We did not know what it was doing or where it was going.
So this was your mission? We had rumors..we had heard
of things but hadn't put it all together. We figured
I'd return to the island the fastest way and this route
was the quickest. I just happened across that ship and
through a secret invisible recon found climans aboard.
We could not isolate how it was flying so I decided to
attack the crew. Your ...team...was there and we didn't
know about it." [A faerry returns to the room and
whispers in his ear] "Fine..kill them all.."
Caladan: "Whoa! Kill who?"
Varange: "Those gargoyles held in that room down the hall
in that cage. They should be put down."
Xian: "We know what past you had with Gargoyles. We last
saw you being kidnapped by gargoyles in Sivas. But
we will not kill them. We only kill those who refuse
to surrender. They are captured and isolated. There
is no reason to kill them."
Varange: "Oh give me a break! My heart hurts with all this
gushyness. Fine! We'll leave them be. [he turns to
one of the faerry] "Order half to return to the ship
and have the ship get closer." [Turning back to the others]
"The ship is about 2 miles away and closing fast. So
this jar...fascinating..is this the source of their
power?"
Z'leyra: "Do you have official word as to the requested
disposition of the magics that make the airships float? Or
in regards to the Staff of the Elements?" {She does not
mention the bump on her head.}
Varange: "Magics? No. I have not had time to be debriefed
by the others of my people...hrm..very interesting..
is it alive?"
Aren: "Excuse me. Who is this person? This Varange."
[Varange stands up quick]
Varange: "That's Lord Marshall Varange to you."
Aren: "Then you must call me DUKE Aren Solest of Marentia."
Varange: "Yes yes.." [waving a hand of disrepect and going
back to the jar..soon a faerry returns again from flying
in the sea cave and observing things and whispers to
him again]
Farseeker: "This is Varange a faerry of high standing in
the military and royal advisor so I'm told..Xian, me,
and a few others have had dealings with him over the
last 3 or so years."
Jordi: "Hello. My name is Jordi. Thank you very much for your
help with the Clyman ship."
Varange: "Yes yes...fine fine..I'm told you have more
jars of such. I demand them for my ship immediately."
Farseeker: "Nope. We've not decided what to do with them
at this point. We may destroy them or throw them in
the sea. "
Varange: "I'm told by my people your weak and they can
see that. You look exhausted and quite frankly smell
awful. You expect to keep these if we wish to
just take them?"
[Suddenly Farseeeker and Varange begin to argue over this.
Quietly Xian asks Trembyl to take out the Jar in the
current cave and bring it and the others to the next
cave over. He quietly nods to everyone they should
leave so they can discuss this in case things go bad.]
[As they enter a hallway Xian turns to Jordi, Z'leyra,
Neva, Aren, Chion, Unali, Caladan and Ben'dar]
Xian: "I doubt seriously he'll fight for them. He
is power mad but I think he knows we outnumber him.
He works with numbers like that."
Aren: "What magics could he come to bear on us?"
Xian: "Not much. But I'd have to say they could have
all magic in some form or another through innate
ability."
[The other jars are now all in the warehouse cave next to
the other cave and the survivors are returned to the
ship with the others and tied up.]
Caladan: "Theres about 15 of them now here."
[Yelling is heard from the next cave as Farseeker tries
to persuade Varange]
[The party in the warehouse listen for a few minutes then
suddenly Trembyl wavers back and forth as if dizzy.
He holds onto the staff for leverage.]
Xian: "You ok?"
Trembyl: "I think so."
[Suddenly behind the party a portal appears and pure
whit elight shines through. Jordi and Neva quickly
go into a fighting stance. Everyone steps back a
few feet. But as they do Trembyl stands up and looks
at the portal. He then walks 2 feet toward it and
eyes it up and down.]
Xian: "Stand back!"
Trembyl: "No...I don't know..but"
[He walks another 2 feet and is now just a foot from it.
Suddenly he looks back..]
Trembyl: "I believe its safe to enter."
Xian: "Your crazy! Sto-"
[Before he could finish Trembyl turns around and steps
through and disappears.]
Caladan: "What is he doing!?"
Neva: "What now?"
Xian: "We better get the others."
[Before Xian starts to walk away Trembyl's head and
shoulders reappear and he smiles..]
Trembyl: "It's ok...c'mon guys! Its safe."
[Those in the warehouse cave that sees this are:
Aren, Caladan, Chion, Trembyl, Xian, Unali,
Z'leyra, Kaylle, Thig, Neva and Jordi]
Who wishes to enter the portal? :)
Actions/Comments?
Next update Monday..
Where did the goblin throw the football?
Over the ghoul line.

What do witches put on their hair?
Scare spray.
GM: This is the last planned event. If you wish to enter. Please
say so by Monday afternoon my time (EST). Unali I know
your out of town so will assume you follow since your a
curious person. If you do not then I'll assume you do not
wish to by lack of saying so. A clue on all this has
been covered in past updates if you've been taking notes :)
Hapy Halloween for those who celebrate it!
