-------------
[Turn 1: Phase 1]
[Mana Allocation]
Xian and Caladan Allocate Mana.
[Missile Fire]
[None. Too dark at this point and none prepared]
[Magic Effect]
[Quickly thinking Caldan knows the campfire is either
out or gone or magically useless. But he can still
feel its heat so he figures its magical darkness.
He quickly replays the campsite in his head having
been walking around it for the past half hour. He
recalls theres a small bush to his back left. No
one was in that immediate area. So he quickly
casts a magical phrase. He then twists 90
degrees and raises his arm as he speaks the words.
Suddenly the bush that is 2.5 feet tall and only
about 2 feet wide bursts into flames. This creates
a flash of light and everyone sees this in some
fashion from direct or indirectly (shadows, side
vision). Those who do not see it will be
noted below.]
[Xian sits up on his bedroll and quietly murmurs a
quick enchantmen.t
[Melee and Movement]
[Farseeker now with light behind in some 20 odd feet away
charges the 8 feet toward the female in front of him.
He notices too late she is unarmed but is already
swinging on her when he notices her eyes...the great
sowrd slices through the air and hits the female in the
left side and slashes a half inch of skin through her
body almost from one side to another side. The blade
does 8 points of damage to her. Blood flies outward
in all directions but the female still stands...]
[Firesnake leaves the neck of Caladan and flies in mid
air for a second then darts off into the darkness..]
[Trembyl having heard Farseeker yells grabs his scimitar
and rushes forward. The burning bush blocks his view
of the monster coming from the other direction...He
moves from G9 to E13 and thrusts his scimitar at her
and hits doing 8 points of damage..and she still
standing!]
[Ben'dar wakes quickly and grabs his spear. He finds
himself in utter darkness not even the star light.
He sees nothing. He hears the horses and knows
they are westward so he slowly walks that way at
half his normal movement. He ends up still in
utter darkness. But to his left he hears the
fmailiar sounds of hooves and the snorts of horses
hes heard for years around horses. But his hair
sticks out on the back of his neck when he hears
a snort to his right...one hes never heard before...
Actually in the time it takes a billion synapses
to fire up in recalling memory Ben'dar realizes
he HAS heard that sound before....just oer 3 months
ago...and it belonged to a beast ...quickly with
all his might Ben'dar pulls back and braces his
feet and stabs forward with the spear ...it impacts
hard hide and pentrates cracking the tissue and
bones of ribes. The spear goes in 3 inches and
ben'dar pulls out as blood splatters everywhere..
the beast roars in pain and then a loud thump is
heard...Ben'dar did 24 points of impressive damage
to the beast...]
[Unali wakes up and grabs her daggers by her side.
She exits her tent to find the campfire out. She
finds a burning bush and tries to look around.
All she sees is Farseeker fighting someone. She
hear moving of some kind to her right...she tries
to peer in that direction but its too dark.]
[Thig wakes and grabs his repeating crossbow. He
then sticks his head out the tent and looks around
in the darkness. He can see better than most
humans in the dark. He looks to the right and
left of his tent. He notices the dogs are up and
growling at something. Thig decides to take to
the sky for a better view...]
[From the sky high above a flying creature spots
his prey sitting on a bedroll near the burning
bush. The creature dives and tries to hit the
target - Xian - with his club but fails to hit
amazingly. It flies back up into the darkness...]
[Balrog wakes up and grabs his weapon. But he is
in complete darkness and dazed. He stands unsure
of what's going on.]
[From the Southeast a snort is heard in the distance
but in the darkness its hard to tell distance..]
[Z'leyra grabs her helm and dons it while grabbing
her staff she standa. She sees to her right
a figure rush by then a snort and loud thump.
To her forward left she sees the burning bush and
those fighting a female in the distance. She
looks over her shouler and sees inky darkness.]
[Strie'bog's Wolf stands and sniffs the air. It
growls as it spots something or hears something
in the southeast. It looks to Strie'bog and
unsure if it should leave. It decides to charge
into the darkness sensing upcoming danger..]
[Both Pogo and Ventrius (Thig's dog) know Thig is
in the air they also decide to charge into the
darkness toward the southeast with the wolf.]
[Kasha wakes up and grabs his mace. He quickly
exits the tent and is also confused trying to
assess the situation.]
[Jordi hears the noise and dogs barking. He grabs
his bow and quiver and prepares them. This takes
up this phase of action.]
[Chion stands and grabs his staff. He looks around
but sees nothing but darkness. From his angle
he doesn't even see the burning bush since the
magical darkness blocks it. He can't see his
allies much less enemies. But he can hear...he
suddenly turns around and hears movement behind
him of some kind. Can use magic next phase since
magic effect segment over.]
[Strie'bog wakes up and notices no flicker of campfire.
He grabs his balalaika with one hand. With the
other he grabs his bow and quiver in one clump. He
heads for the tent exit. He stands and slips on
the instrument around his shoulder while putting
the quiver on his other shoulder. He looks around
and sees the burning bush and the female being
attacked by Farseeker. But in the north is darkness
and behind him he hears others but can't really
see anything. He notices the wolf is gone as well.]
[The Eagle near Z'leyra perks up at the burning bush
and takes quickly to the air and darkness. It
tries to circle the camp to see what is going on
but then notices something else...no...two other
things are in the air as well..]
[The female Farseeker fights is unarmed and decides
two versus one is bad. She heads eastward...]
[Near Chion a rustling in the sand is heard getting
closer and a Ssssss hissing sound is heard..]
[Xian decides to stay put but stands making sure he
can finish his spell. He grabs his staff but looks
up to make sure no other aerial attacks are coming.]
[By now the horses are begin to stir and get nervous.]

Actions? Comments?
Some minor reminders
Balrog - In Darkness, confused
Chion - If you wish to continue with your actions can next phase
Jordi - Should have your gear next phase but likely won't be
able to act till phase 3. :<
Thig - Thig, Eagle and Monster? in air
Strie'bog - If you wish you can fire your bow per your actions
at the female confirm if you wish to.
Z'leyra - Your ready for actions but unsure of where new
targets are. The female you see...saw fled
I will continue friday with phase 2. Unfournately the darkness
is a big problem here with seeing targets effectively. Right
now it possible friendly fire could result.
No game site links updated just these 2 updates.
