[Recap]
From Strie'bog to Kasha: [Re: Replies]
"Music is a gift of the Gods, one given to help us remember
the joy of life. I have a fiddle with me, and know how to
lay. It is an excellent instrument to play at festivals,
for its sound seems to inspire people to dance. If you like,
I would be happy to teach you how to play."
Kasha: "That would be great and appreciated. I'm sure we'll
have many free hours on this trip."
------------
From Z'leyra: [Re: Actions]
As Z'leyra is glancing around looking for enemies she opens
her mouth, utters some softly spoken words and ...vanishes.
(hopefully)
GM: Ack.
------------
From Ben'dar: [Re: Actions]
Ben'Dar looks down at the creature lying on the ground at
his feet. It is no longer snorting and it isn't moving, but
he isn't sure if it's dead. "Better safe than sorry," he
thinks, and he jams his spear full force into the creature
a second time, aiming for the heart.
Ben'Dar glances around the immediate area to ensure there is
no other threat nearby. Probably hearing the sounds of
fighting from various corners of the camp, Ben'Dar will go
quickly to the horses and untie Tef'wo. Grabbing a handful
of mane with his left hand while still holding his spear in
his right hand, he slides up onto Tef'wo's bare back and
wheels the huge horse around, looking for a target to
charge at.
GM: Ack. May take more than one phase. Not sure.

[New Stuff]
Sepes 5, Thusuda in the 163rd Year [TH]
Location: 14 Miles NW of Maren City, Plains/Road
Time: 11:39pm, Partly Cloudy, No Moon, Party camp
[Turn 1: Phase 2]
[Mana Allocation]
[Xian, Z'leyra, Chion and Strie'bog allocate mana]
[Missile Fire]
[Strie'bog strings his bow and aims at the women but
hesitates as unsure of her nature. He aims at her
however in prepartion. He asks "Is she dangerous?"]
[Thig now in the air fires into the darkness at the
fast moving creature in the air but the repeating
crossbow misses by a good 20 feet.]
[Magic Effect]
[Z'leyra finishes her spell words and goes invisible.]
[Xian also finishes his spell words and loses solid
mass and see through.]
[Melee and Movement]
[Farseeker yells out "Shes getting away!" and then
charges after the female. He comes up behind her
and thrusts his great sword right into the back of
the female doing 10 points of damage. The female
jerks back as the blade pokes out the front. Blood
spills out. She then gives off a odd sound like
laughing? She remains standing even after the blade
leaves her abdomen.]
[Trembyl amazed at the damage the female has taken rushes
up alongside Farseeker and swings his scimitar at
her slicing her arm for 8 points of damage but shes
still standing.]
[Ben'dar takes one more stab with his spear on the creature
but it doesn't move. He then twists and rusn to the horses
to find his horse. He quickly finds the one with the
collar on and takes the strap from the ground and prepares
to untie him.]
[Unali stands and watches as Farseeker impales the female
and decides daggers likely wouldn't affect her. She
thinks of a new action.]
GM: Unsure if you'd attack. :<
[From the sky the creature circles and finds a new target.
It dives toward the person who is stooped over. Lucky
for that otherwise might've been a head hit. The creature
gribs his club and hits ....Ben'dar as he flies by..
the damage is 13-1=12 points! Ben'dar is knocked flat
against the ground with his breath knocked out as several
ribs may be broken from the damage. Unfournately the
creature also scares the horses. Hooves begin to stir.
The strap Ben'dar had in his hand slips from his hand
and two horses free themselves and trot off to the west.
Sudden Twe'fo stands over Ben'dar to protect him from
the horse and their heavy hooves...]
[Balrog turns confused and heads northward. He
leaves the zone of magical darkness. He turns
and sees the burning bush and tries to figure out
what is going on.]
[From the southeast a distant struggle is heard in
the darkness. A few snorts and growls and barks.
Then a howl occurs as a canine sounds like its
been hurt?]
[Z'leyra picks up his heavy crossbow but decides
his warstaff may be enough. He tries to find
a target but the darkness is still heavy even
with his burning bush.]
[Z'leyra now invisible sees the fleeing horses and
yells to them one quick command in their own horse
language to stop.]
[From the southeast growls are heard as a scuffle
ensues. Then a loud snort is heard or a yelp of
pain but not so much a canine yelp.]
[Kasha slowly walks southeast to try and find out
what is making the noise...in the darkness though
he can't find anything but noise as the burning
bush doesn't seem to penetrate the natural darkness
in this area.]
[Jordi grabs the rest of his gear and leaves his tent.
He looks around and tries to figure out what to do.
But he is ready for combat.]
[Chion stands his ground while holding the staff in
front of him at a diagonal defense angle. He stares
into the darkness in the NE to see what is in the
area but doesn't see anything.]
[Suddenly the magical darkness shifts. As quickly as
it came the campfire light reappears. This lights
the area much better now. It moves northward and
something gets close to Balrog (now in darkness
again) and tries to bash him with something but
Balrog is lucky enough to move out of the way just
in the last second.]
[Suddenly light shines near Chion and he sees a large
10 foot python lunging for him. The black and red
snake hits the staff and slides off as fangs almost
hit chion.]
[The female near Farseeker turns around and as she
does her gown shimmers and turns into red and black
mottled skin. Her body completely transforms into
a large python this one 14 feet long. It stands
4 feet off the ground as its neck has the strength
(or maybe it was just up since she was standing).
It looks at Farseeker and prepares to lunge..]
[In the southeast a form is seen but it looks like
a large horse or dog? There are two dogs near it.
The wolf is seen by the flicker of the flame but
away from the other 2 dogs.]
[Xian decides to yell and scream to get the attention
of the flying creature. Since he can't be hurt now
its a good distraction.]

Some minor reminders
Balrog - In Darkness, again, being attacked
Chion - The action you had planned takes time to enact so
you can do it next phase for sure. First phase was
the "wake up" and get ungroggy phase. This is the
first of 2 phases to do your action.
Jordi - What now? You can see 3 targets
Thig - Thig, Eagle and Monster? in air
Strie'bog - Obviously the female now python is hostile.
So will assume you fire your bow at it next phase :)
Z'leyra - Actions?
Ben'dar is hurt. Balrog, Chion, farseeker nad Trembyl under
direct attack. Campfire now shines and shows all 3 enemy
targets.
Next update Monday Turn 1 Phase 3
