Game Update #301 in sequence (file #497)
----------------------------------------------------------------
Admin notes: Internet ISP, a small one and my only one I've had
since 1996, was without power for 4-5 days. I was able to get
on up till their generator died last wed night or so. Thus
the Friday update is today's. So we should be back on schedule.
As to Hurricane Ivan its likely going to miss us (at least my
city) at this point. So shouldn't be a big issue.
----------------------------update-------------------------------
[Recap] - None
[New Stuff - Current Situation]
From Unali: [Re: Actions]
Coming up from behind, with the priestess distracted, Unali
will attempt an assassination attempt, twice actually with two
daggers, on the priestess. Hopefully she does enough damage
to end the damage shield, and if she is lucky has some to
spare for the priestess as well.
GM: Ack.
From Chion: [Re: Actions]
Musta been one hellofa roll with his MDV against wizardry
spells(1 1/2 that of normal). In any event, he'll try to resist
the effects now that his friends are asking what he's doing (if
he can). Hopefully he can manage it. Too bad she's not going to
live to enjoy the experience...
Also, if he does resist it, he won't attempt to use it in his
favor to get near enough the priestess in order to kill her.
We'll wait and see how it pans out. For now, though, if he can
throw off the spell right away he'll just do that. Otherwise
I'm hoping it's mind control and not fascination... for the
party's sake anyway... (mind control he fights at half, if I
recall correctly... maybe I have it backwards?)
If he does manage to throw it off, he'll say to the priestess,
"You shall never do that again!" If the guard is still
standing, he'll attack it one more time before moving towards
her.
GM: Ack. She got a single digit roll for the spell. So success.
From Jordi: [Re: Actions]
Jordi knows that his friends are coming, so he just has to keep
the bodyguard and the priesstess occuppied for a little bit more.
However, it seems that it's the bodyguard with the staff the
most dangerous opponent, because it seems that the staff is
capable of powerful magic. So he decides to keep the bodyguard
busy. Jordi uses his shield EL defensively, and attacks with
his sword, hoping to kill/incapacitate the guard as quickly as
posible. He's very concerned about the priesstess, but he can't
avoid facing the bodyguard without suicidal risks.
The only thing Jordi can do is to move himself around the guard
in an anti-clockwise movement, to avoid being ambushed by the
priesstess, and to place the bodyguard between the priesstess
and him, just in case... Jordi begins to think that he must end
quickly with the fight, to heal magically himself quickly, so
Neva doesn't get worried by his wounds...
GM: Ack.
---------------------------Actions---------------------------
Time: Estimated 7:20am-7:35am - Morning Day 22
Turn 2: Phase 2
[Mana Allocation]
[Bodyguard and Xian allocates Mana]
[Missile Fire]
[Thig now invisible drops the fire stand which tumbles to
the ground. He then turns in a wild arc and grabs his
repeating crossbow. He flies toward the enemy. He
flies the length of the room almost and hovers above
Z'leyra. His eyes better suited spots the Bodyguard
at a 50 degree angle. He aims at the bodyguard and
fires his 3rd shot that is loaded in the crossbow. The
dart hits his right side just under the arm and does
a 5 point shot. This further wounds the bodyguard.]
[Magic Effect]
[Xian casts his dispell again at the Throne. He reaches
his hand down and still sees the glow of th egem. He
curses loudly.]
[The bodyguard begins to speak his magic words but as soon
as he is wounded his concentration is lost and the mana
fades away..]
GM: If thig had missed Jordi's brain would be mush now. :)
Mind Burn with 8 to stats. :) I can say that sinc ethe
bodyguard will likely fall this phase.
[The steam is now gone and visibility is normal]
[The Fire in the one hex also ends.]
[Melee & Movement]
[Farseeker runs forward but he doesn't notice that Z'leyra has
now turned invisible (since the anti-invisibility spell was
stopped by Thig). Suddenly after 11 feet he runs smack intot
the back of Z'leyra. This throws Z'leyra forward and she
hits the area near the Priestess. Farseeker stops short
and is surprised. A "Umpf!" is heard behind Z'leyra.]
[Triest runs forward besides Farseeker and stops when he
enters the steam. He swings his scimitar at the Priestess.
The blade hits a field of energy a inch from the priestess
and stops there. Triest is shocked as the static from the
hit confuses him.]
GM: The first melee weapon to hit the Priestess.
[Unali rounds the pillar and runs up toward the Priestess.
With both daggers she tries a back stab with a bit of
a side stab. But both daggers hit the static energy
blue field. As the metal hits a slight spark emits on
contact but they do not penetrate the shield.]
[The bodyguard swings staff at Jordi in anger from being
shot with a dart by Thig. But the staff slices the air
just above Jordi and misses.]
[Ben'dar comes along side Triest and tries to stab with
his spear at the Priestess. The spear also contacts
the energy shield and stops suddenly.]
[Caladan runs forward but he chooses the bodyguard as he
sees the staff is the main threat for him. He comes up
alongside Unali and swings in a wide arc the warstaff
to the bodyguard. He smacks the guard right in the
left back of the head crushing a bit of the skull and
doing 12(4)=8 points. This is exactly the last points
needed to kill the guard instantly. The bodyguard
falls to the ground with the staff still in his hand.
He falls to the sound toward the throne in the north.
He hits the armrest of the throne (right armrest) and
falls to the west side of the throne onto the ground.]
[The Priestess hears the smack of skull crushing and a bit
of blood splatters against the shield and slides off. She
looks over her shoulder to see the bodyguard fall. She
grimaces and turns then without another thought she runs
off. She weaves between Z'leyra and Unali then past
Wi and heads south past the pillar at full speed. As
she runs she speaks a few words but no one recognizes
them not being climan?]
[Wi sees this and turns and gives chase. He passes her
and then twists and stops swinging his sword but he
fails to hit the Priestess and even the shield.]
[Chion's face flushes dark red in utter rage. He stares at
Ris and grits his teeth. he tries to resist against being
held by Cholan, Kasha and Aren. He frees his arm from Aren
and swings at the air in front of him toward Ris. But his
other arm and back is being held securely by the other two.]
[Kasha turns to Ris and speaks in Marentian hoping the Diplomat
will understand while holding Chion.]
Kasha: "Leave the room!"
[Cholan holds Chion in a strong vice grip]
[Z'leyra startled by being pushed into the Priestess and
then hitting air and stopping turns. She sees the
Priestess run off and regaining her senses regrips her
Axe and runs after her. As she runs she notices her
arms are invisible and discovers why the bump. She
catches up to the Priestess and does like Wi a wild
swing on her. The axe hits the shield and sparks fly
but no penetration.]
[Jordi now with the steam gone sees the Bodyguard fall and
the Priestess retreat. He leaps over the body and
gives chase as well. But he ends up about 4 feet behind
the Priestess just out of reach for this phase.]
[Suresh turns and gives chase as well. he reaches and
swings at the Priestess. His sword also sparks off
the shield.]
[Ris understands Kasha and turns and runs afraid for his life.]
[Amin stares at Chion in wonder why he is acting this way.]
[Dax eyes forward looking NE slightly sees the Priestess run
away. As the diplomat begins to turn as well he notices
something strange...the tapestry on the far NE corner seems
to be smoldering or giving off a fog?...he stops turning
to eye what is going on..]
[Aren tries to regain the arm of Chion back and wonders
if he should knock Chion out for his own good and theirs.]
[Neva and Sava see the Priestess head that way. Neva grabs
her bow and prepares. Sava looks solemly at the Priestess.]

No one ever really said they studied or even looked at both
tapestries which are full fledged artworks...of a couple scenes..:)
The Priestess is the last enemy but her shield seems quite formidable.
It seems to be as far as 3-5 inches away from her skin at times.
Objects on it just spark on it and slide off. Various levels of
attack though are different in that each hit seems to do various
levels of sparks and color shimmering on the energy shield. As if
one hit is stronger than the others (obvious) and stronger hits
may weaken but still not get through the shield. So it must take
a big strong hit to get through. This can be deduced from combat.
