----------------------------------------------------------------
Admin notes: I hate how the Email strips the Tabs away and makes
the post look ugly. The true form is on the game website and
looks better. its just how the email is done I guess.
This update is a two parter. For ease of reading this one
contains the replies and posts already seen on the list.
1. Replies from Strie'bog to others
2. Actions from Jordi
3. Actions from Z'leyra
4. Actions from Ben'dar
5. Actions from Chion
If you've read it you can skim the replies to the above or
go to the next post the actual combat update.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
[Recap]
From Strie'bog: [Re: Replies to people]
GM: With help if needed into various languages.
[Speaking in Elf Sidh]
To Thig: "I do not mean to be suspicious, but I have
learned to be wary. There are many lessons that I must
learn, but I have seen on the faces of those I have met
that my appearance causes concern to them."
Thig: [He nods at this and turns back to his horse.]
[Speaking in accented Zen'dali]
In answer to various questions:
In answer to Caladan: "I come from the forests north of
the Zen'dali plains. My people have traded with the
tribes of the plains for years. It is from them that
I have learned your language."
Caladan: "We will talk more about this. I have never been
that far north. I do hear stories though."
GM: You and he will continue talking a bit on this during
the days of the trip.
In answer to Farseeker: "I am a musician, in service to the
Court of Cernunous. I perform to earn my way, and to
learn. Already I have learned much, but I am sure that
with this company I shall find what I am seeking."
Farseeker: "I'm not familiar with this court person. I'm
a simple fighter so put faith in my sword rather than
the gods. As to combat I'm sure if we get into some
we can protect you."
In answer to Kasha: "It is called a balalaika. I have not
seen another since leaving the sacred forests of the
Vassa. It has brought me great luck, for people are
curious about what they have not seen or heard before,
and that curiosity has helped me pay my way on my travels."
Kasha: "Interesting." [he sighs] "I was going to learn the
fiddle in my village but we could not afford to pay the
person for lessons much less the fiddle."
In answer to Balrog: "Early in my travels, I realized that
my appearance confused those that I met. In some cases
they seemed frightened. So I decided to conceal myself,
letting my music and stories speak for me. Thig has
reminded me that I should not let my concern break the
trust you have extended in allowing me to accompany
you." At this point, Strie'bog pulls down the hood.
Still young, Strie'bog has skin as pale pearl, a thin
brown beard and mustache highlights the high cheekbones
and strong angles of his face. This brown hair is cut
short, easily allowing his slightly pointed ears to be
seen. He is a gorgeous young man, the features giving
him an exotic, almost alien appearance, but it his eyes
that seem to draw the viewers attention. Their wide and
expressive almond shape expose a mesmerizing ring of
bright green around his pupil, melded with a starburst
patterned to a second ring of shimmering silver. If the
eyes are the window to the soul, these eyes reveal an
abundance of life, and a place of peace and serenity.
You can easily image people not wanting to look away
from his eyes, and fearing them for some witchery.
Xian: [Nods after hearing this and studies Strie'bog then
replies] "We understand. We will respect your decision."
To Trembyl: Looking down, and with a note of sadness, "I
have learned that there is danger even in the safest
havens. I will take your advice, for I have never been
truly tested in battle. It has been years since the
Humagi last attacked the great forest, and I was too
young the last time they attacked.” There is a definite
note of sadness to the last statement.
Trembyl: "Just as long as you know in advance. Likely with
our large group we'll likely not be attacked. Who would
be stupid enough to do that!" [35 hours later those words
would ring funny as combat begins..]
To Xian: "I also hope to get to know you. It is said that
each new road can lead one to their destiny if they have
courage to accept it. Maybe the road open before me will
bring me closer to what I seek. You do not have to wait
until Chlochara to hear me play, for I will be more than
happy to lighten the rigors of travel with a song."
Xian: "I would be happy to play wiht you. I'm no where near
your skill with the flute I'm sure but I can dabble a
few chords. I couldn't last time when we were...away...
but i have my flute with me this time."
OOC: I'll write about combat later today after I have
considered things.
GM: Ack. In future you cna post private and public actions
since there may be things you want done privately.
Or if you do all in one post you can make a note on
which actions are private and public.
--------------------------------------------------
From Jordi: [Re: Actions/Comments]
OOC 1: What "HH" stands for? It is at the left of the
Alias/Player column... thank you, Scott.
GM: Probably missed that in the upate a couple updates ago.
But its really just Horse Type. Its more a reminder or
me to know at a glance what horse you have. Same info
is in the horse link on the game website. Like R1 is
Riding Horse I. W3 is Warhorse III. Do is Donkey, etc.
OOC 2: Sorry for the lack of posting. Very bad week.
GM: Not a problem. Your not late.
Jordi wakes up quickly, and hears the noises and yells
from the rest of the campament. He mentally curses, takes
his quiver, bow, sword and shield (OOC: correct assumption,
Scott: Jordi doesn't sleep in armor...), and exists the tent.
After discovering what happens (OOC: I imagine you will roll
to see what he discovers), Jordi charges towards the nearest
enemy he has detected. (OOC: If he sees both of them, he
charges towards the monster attacking the horses, trying
to avoid that it harms the horses.).
GM: No armor then. Ack. :) Grabbing gear may take couple
of phases. Ack on actions. Grab Bow/Quiver, Sword and shield.
Yeah two phases. I mentally tried to grab all items in
3 seconds and took more. So two phases.
--------------------------------------------------
Post from Z'leyra: [Re: Actions]
As Z'leyra rolls to her feet her left hand is putting her
helm on her head and her right hand is grabbing her staff.
GM: Ack. One phase of actions.
--------------------------------------------------
From Ben'dar: [Re: Actions/Comments]
Comments:
During the introduction of Strie'bog, Ben'Dar stays
somewhat withdrawn, not sure if he fully trusts this
hooded stranger. When he hears Zen'dali being spoken,
he begins to feel a bit more comfortable. "Greetings
Strie'bog. I am Ben'dar, of the Fel'oros tribe of the
Zen'dan," he says in his native tongue.
Actions:
Ben'dar sleeps contentedly. :-)
As soon as he wakes to the sounds of the encounter, Ben'dar
grabs his spear (which is next to him when he sleeps) and
leaps to his feet, trying to assess the situation. If he
can see nothing (due to the magical darkness?), he will
undoubtedly hear the frenzied neighing of the horses. He
will rush to them to make sure they are alright, calling
to them reassuringly so they know who he is as he approaches.
GM: Ack. Spear go to horses.
--------------------------------------------------
From Chion: [Re: Actions/Comments
If Chion understood the comment in Elf Sidh he'll smile
at Thig.
GM: Rolling. Right on the nose. You do understand it.
The dogs barking didn't wake anyone? Man. What do we have
those mutts for anyway... lol... (hopefully to tare these
attackers a new bung hole)
GM: Well big guys tend to sleep hard I guess :)
