Game Update #325 in sequence (file #531)
----------------------------------------------------------------
Admin notes: None
-----------------------------------------------------------------
This isn't a real update per se. But it is a quick update on
the status of things -
Status - 90 Days Activities
Ben'dar - 100% Complete
Chion - 99% Complete [Just gotta finish up some emails]
Jordi - 40% Work in progress - Getting there
Z'leyra - 5% Doing encounters but got no actions yet
Unali - 10% Waiting on replies to emails from December
Plans -
I hope to be done with Chion tonight/tomorrow. Then finish
up Jordi likely end of next week. By then Maybe z'leyra
will have actions in and that'll likely take a week or
two to go through as I know she has detailed plans to do
that has taken her a couple months just to write up :).
Hopefully Unali will get back to me on those emails when
Wout finds the time.
With this said I would LIKE to start the new game on
March 1. But I would like to be done with 90 days first.
So I'll work hard on Jordi and Z'leyra and Unali when
those get replied. If we don't it done by then so be
it but that's my hope. I had wanted to start Feb 1 but
that didn't work out :< So let's try Marh 1.
With that said if you want to scan the game website do
so as with the new game I'll be removing all the old
updates. I may zip them up for download but since they
take about 7 megs on the website no need to keep them
there anymore.
For those finished please be patient a bit more. Sorry
for any delays. I'm getting to it all as fast as I
can.
*********************************************************
[I have completed Jordi's encounters on the 90 days. Jordi
goes to his home land of the Wild Forest near the Elder
mountains and Donara about 1100 miles West of Marentia.
He returns there with Neva nad Sava to see her back home.
He spends a bit over a month there and then sails back.
Here are his encounters. These as with other encounters
could be relayed as if told in tavern tales or tales on
the road on the next adventure. With his permission here
are the encounters. You can read them or not. Nothing
else is after them game wise.]
[Encounters for Jordi]
Encounter #1 - Day 3 - Marentia / Sivas City - 9:48am
[While Jordi, Sava, Aren, Neva and 2 of Aren's bodyguards
are walking through the main roads of Sivas Sava notices
a finely dressed human of upper station maybe station 6 or 7
following the group. Jordi and the others soon notice this
as well. Aren confronts the noble male who is a son of a
count. It turns out the noble was just curious as to the
sight of the elfs and has never seen any so wanted to see what
they typically did. He meant no harm to the group. Aren
introduces the elfs to the noble who spends about 20 minutes
asking various questions about their race and culture. He then
lets the group go as they must be busy.]
Encounter #2 - Night 3 - Marentia / Sivas City - 9:52pm
[Deleted Encounter]
Encounter #3 - Night 5 - Marentia / Sivas City - 6:01am
[Jordi wakes up early before the rest. He leaves the hotel and
enters the street for fresh air. The sun is still not up but
twlight is around so its soon. The city is quiet except for
an occasional dog barking in the distance. He starts to travel
to a nearby market where they tend to have morning pastries.
As he walks in the dim light he comes around a corner and notices
a shopowner outside his shop on the ground withering. Its
hard to tell at this distance. Near him ia a robed six foot
figure pointing a hand at him about 5 feet away. Suddenly
4 more figures exit the ship and rush the figure but as
they do are overcome by something. Two fall to the ground
while two others slump back against the shop walls. Jordi
decides to draw his sword and rushes to help. As jordi rushes
forward at 35 feet from the robed figure he is suddenly hit
by a cold blast wall. He slows down dramatically as the air
drops dramatically in temperature. Jordi's skin and bones
begin to freeze and jordi slows to a dead stop. He takes a
painful cold slap doing 14 points of damage to him instnatly
as he freezes up. Jordi drops to the ground on his side staring
at the scene as his blood begins to freeze. Suddenly a scream
down the street is heard as the scene is seen by someone. She
begins to scream for help and guards. The robed figure walks
to Jordi and jordi's eyes focus on a non-human. The being
speaks a few words and smiles. Then speaks in elf to Jordi
"You should have not interfered! Now you will die!". Jordi
heard stories from others of beings like this and from their
clothing and appearance must be a Jinn. Suddenly the robed
figure turns around and a thrown dagger in his arm falls
to the ground. The robed figure walks out of jordi's frozen
field of vision. Suddenly a whoosh sound of arrow is heard
and a voice yells out. Jordi recognizes it as Neva. No!
She could be heard but Jordi can't move! More voices are
heard (sava?) then clicking noises and whooshing noises.
Suddenly Jordi spots a crossbow bolt land inches from his
head! What is going on? Then a noise is heard like dirt
flying. Then Sava yells that "he is up there!". Jordi
feels warm coming again as the cold seems to decrease.
Footsteps are heard and then Jordi sees Sava and Neva over
him inspecting him. No physical wounds but frost bite seems
to have taken him down some 21 points near death. Another
few seconds and he'd have been dead for sure. A minute
passes and a blanket is bought and wrapped around Jordi as
he start to thaw out. Some time later its found that the
one figure has been desicated (dried up dead) another figure
a female likely the shop owners wife dead from cold. The
toher 2 not affected were kids but they did take some minor
damage but escaped the radius of cold by entering the store.
The Jinn seems to have escaped by flying away wit his magic.
Sava explains she awoke and felt she should find Jordi and
bought neva with her. A healer soon comes and mixes a container
of natural magical items (unicorn horn?) and has jordi treated
by magic and healing. Jordi heals all but 2 points back and
warms up from his near death.
Encounter #4 - Night 7 - Ocean / Ship - 3:18am
[While ship is anchored a storm approaches quickly. The captain
wakes the crew and has the ship easilly avoid the small storm.]
Encounter #5 - Night 12 - Ocean / Ship - 6:30am
[While the people on the merchant ship awake for breakfast before
sailing a morning large storm approaches quickly. So quickly
the ship is surprised. The crew lift anchor since they are
in the middle of the ocean and try to avoid the storm but
can't. Everyone is tossed about for almost a half hour and
the ship takes on water. Then suddenly the storm ends. No
one is injured but the hull has minor damage and some water
has to be taken out of the ship. A couple crates on deck
was thrown overboard but nothing important.]
Encounter #6 - Day 15 - OCean / Ship - 8:20am
[About 100-120 miles west of Porta the ship spots another
fast small vessel in the distance. The flag is donaran
and from the design and speed appears to be a courier or
messnger ship. The small ship avoids the merchant ship
and heads Eastward.]
Encounter #7 - Day 21 - Ocean / Ship - 3:45pm
[About 40 miles south of Chiros the merchant ship watch spots
a group of 3 ships heading North West. From the large shape
and slow speed the captain surmises theya re troop ships.
Since the 3 ships are large and small and with the help of
strong winds that day and Sava's friendly current spell the
ship easilly outruns the others and loses them in the distance.
The flag of those 3 ships were unclear but it may have been
Donaran?]
Encounter #8 - Day 23 - Ocean / Ship - 4:12pm
[In deep ocean the winds are poor today and the ship goes slow.
Neva spots a large pool of fish (medium sized). Must be
a large group of ocean bass? The crew try to fish for them
but only catches one while the others flee.]
Encounter #9 - Day 27 - Ocean / Ship - 7:23am
[Near the southern donaran forest coastline the ship sets sail
again and encounters a moderate sized storm but the captain
easilly avoids it.]
Encounter #10 - Day 29 - Ocean / Ship - 9:31am
[Two ships are spotted by the crew. Their flag is donaran
and flags are signaled to each ship back and forth. The
captain learns they are a small supply convoy. The merchant
ship asks for some fresh water and a meeting is made. One
ship meets with the merchant ship and resupplies the merchant
ship with fresh water. The convoy and merchant ship seperate
without incident.]
Encounter #11 - Night 29 - Ocean / Ship - 6:32am
[As the ship prepares to set sail again and lift anchor another
supply (donaran) ship is spotted. The captain surmises the
donaran's must be sending supplies to a base in the forest.]
Encounter #12 - Day 31 - Wild Forest - 12:45pm
[Walking in the Wild Forest Jordi, Neva and Sava encounter
a small hamlet jordi doesn't recall hearing about. They
find the hamlet is full of humans. Strange that humans would
be in the wild forest a home full of elves. But upon seeing
the elves the humans show signs of respect. One human exaplsins
the elves allow them, a group of Donaran outcasts, to live there
as long as they don't abuse the forest. They are allowed to
hunt and can trade with the elves to help each other out. Later
when leaving Jordi also figures they are there as a buffer and
as a guard against invaders. Its easier to have some form of
buffer than nothing.]
Encounter #13 - Night 32 - Wild Forest - 9:35pm
[Heading toward Sava's home area the trio find a small elf
stronghold village. The three make camp there outside
as theres no inns and the hamlet is full of other elves.
That night around the campfires a battle cry of some sort
is heard in the distance. Then bells ring in the village.
Panic and commotion ensue. Its quickly explained a group
of Daoine Sidhe are attacking from the north of the village.
Every warrior gathers up their gear and head for battle.
Jordi and neva head to help while Sava organizes the other
elf non warriors for rally for protection. It later turns
out the village of 43 is attacked by a group of 11 daoine
sidhe. In the battle 7 are killed by the elves. Six elves
are killed by the Daoine and 9 others are wounded. The
other 4 daoine sidhe battle Neva and Jordi. A large missile
bow war ensues. Seven rounds Neva fires at 2 firing on her
and after 7 she hits and knocks one out. OF the 2 up to
this point 1 hits Neva but it doesn'tpenetrate her leather
armor. The next round after the first Neva hits again
and kills the second target. Jordi meanwhile fires his bow
at 2 others as well firing on him. After four rounds the
2 Daoine only hit Jordi once with an arrow but doesn't
penetrate his armor. Jordi on the other hand has hit one
twice for moderate damage and the other for moderate damage.
The next 2 rounds Jordi hits each and kills both one
after the other. The elf night vision and torches and
campfires were the only thing that gave them a slight
advantage in the battle. Jordi and Neva are unharmed.]
Encounter #13 - Night 35 - Wild Forest - 1:51am
[Jordi now with his people with Neva while Sava is gone
with her people. Jordi is awakened to a noise outside
his small shack. Seven robed humans are escorted into the
elf village. Its later determined they are Donaran pilgrims
and the elves allow them to camp that night after the pilgrims
give them a offering.]
Encounter #14 - Night 38 - Wild Forest - 5:47pm
[Jordi's Elf wedding is near and he walks in the forest alone
to meditate and commune with his territory he grew up in.
As he decides to return back to camp on the trail ahead
suddenly 3 Faerry appear as if from thin air or rather from
being invisible. One holds a faerry crossbow or similar
bow weapon. The one on the right holds nothing but a jeweled
sword in his sheath. Then Jordi notices the center faerry
that of Varange. Jordi puts his hand on his sword in alertness.
Varange: "So we meet again. I'm disappointed you did not
invite me to your wedding! Oh well. Your soon to be
wife looks happy. Oh well. I'm not disappointed I
wasn't invited. I have too much on my plate as it is
as the humans say. While I was in the area just wanted
to say hello again."
Before Jordi can even reply the form of Varange and the
right Faerry seem to shimmer and disappear. But the left
faerry puts something in his vest that was glowing then
takes to the air. Jordi realizes that wasn't Varange but
some recorded illusion? At least that's what Jordi thinks
but the 3rd faerry must be real. Which means Varange could
be in the area. For the remainder of the next few weeks
he keeps his eyes open for him.]
Encounter #15 - Day 39 - Wild Forest - 3:52pm
[Jordi walking alone in the village perimeter going to see
someone finds himself off the trail a bit. After a few
minutes he realizes this and turns back. But before he
does he notices out of the bush 2 Forest Wild Cat adults
enter the trail ahead of him. Hes seen such before and they
tend to be scared off. But these are brave which mean they
must be hungry or guarding their young. But this close to
the village? Jordi knows he couldn't outrun them either
but could use magic. He quietly shifts his hands to his
sword and reaches for his shield on his back. The wild
cat male walks forward then suddenly bursts forward lunging
for Jordi with the female right behind. Jordi finds himself
bitten by the adult male on the leg and the male shreds
muscle doing a massive 10 point bite. The female attacks
but doesn't penetrate armor. Jordi stabs down at the males
back and hits for 7 points whick makes the cat fall to the
ground. The female attacks again and slices a small cut
with her claws for a point more. Jordi stabs at her but
fails to hit the cat. The female attacks again but her
mouth is blocked by Jordi's shield. Jordi stabs sideways
and hits for 8 points at the cat killing her. Jordi then
slumps to the ground as his leg muscle is litterally shreded
and slightly haning out. The shock to his system makes him
fall unconscious. Jordi wakes to find himself in a hut
being taken care of by a Elf healer. Jordi looks down to his
leg and finds it back to normal but a deep redness still exists
and the scratch from the female. But overall he is alive with
just a couple hit points down thanks to the healing. He learns
the male was only knocked out and was taken deep into the ofrest
and set loose after it was treated as well. The elves feel it
was only lost and rarely attack even the elves. The female was
dead however.]
Encounter #16 - Night 41 - Wild Forest - 5:12am
[Everyone but a couple sentries in the elf village is asleep
but soon the quietness is pierced by a Elf whistle. Which
then creates a bell to be rung. A warning of attack or
danger. Everyone slowly wakes. Jordi spots in the area
near his shack 2 beings are trying to hold onto a elf child.
Jordi notices their eyes are glwoing red. Jordi wakes neva
and jordi rushes outside as other warriors join him. With
torches light they notice the 2 beings are terrestial demons.
They let go off the child and try to sneak back into the
deep dark forest but the warriors give chase with torches.
Jordi and neva see that both demons seperate. One goes
to the right perimeter of the village and eludes his trackers.
But Jordi and Neva spot him. Neva takes careful aim wiht her
bow in the dim light and hopes to hit. Amzingly she hits
but the arrow doesn't penetrate its hide. The demon angered
rushes out of the bushes and charges Jordi who grabs his sword
and shield. The demon with a tree branch as a club tries
to attack Jordi and hits but only does a minor scratch. Jordi
swings back and hits for an impressive 17 points of damage.
This knocks the demon out and his red eyes close. Another elf
warriro comes up and finishes the demon off from being
unconscious. Not so tough the young elf comments. The
others chased the other demon and killed him but had no
serious wounds just some minor cuts and scratches.]
Encounter #17 - Day 43 - Wild Forest - 6:30pm
[Jordi, Neva and 3 other Elfs on horseback encounter 3
humans on horseback deep in the forest. The humans
are interrogated and its learned they are adventurers
on a quest to find a old sage to the west to learn of
a great mountain treasure in the Elder mountains. The
elfs warn that is the domain of the non-humans so if there
is treasure they should let those in that area know for
their safety. The humans agree and let go. But the
elfs just laugh that they've heard of such quests for
hundreds of years.]
Encounter #18 - Night 43 - Wild Forest - 11:23pm
[While a day of scouting the coastline Jordi makes camp
near the coast and in a heavy forest area near the plains
around Affea. Jordi, Neva nad 4 other elves make camp
and setup a sentry. Around the time of the encounter
Jordi has the watch. He hears a noise in the forest and
scans it to find 2 beings. Jordi brings up a torch for
more light and notices they are Dryads. Two of them
and upon seeing they are elves the Dryads approach the
camp. The dryads explain they are near a sacred grove and
should not desecrate the area. When they leave they should
leave the camp as it was when they arrived with no damage
to the forest. Jordi respects this and agrees. That
night he sleeps but feels that the Drayds may still be
keeping an eye out on them. He knows growing up in the
area Dryads kill human hunters who enter their groves and
hunt without permission.]
Encounter #19 - Night 44 - Wild Forest - 3:01am
[While exploring more of the coastline that night camp
is setup again. The sentry hears a noise and tracks
it for some time. Another elf is awaken for sentry
as the first elf goes tracking the sound. A half hour
later he comes into camp with a human male in his mid
20s. Jordi and Neva awake. The elves interrogate him
who is frightened and learn his name is Cartom a formoian
who was seperated from his group on a trip in the plains
near Affea. His family is affea but he got lost. Jordi
speaks fomorian so talks to him. Jordi has a feeling this
human may be of some good to him so decides to help him
get back to affea. Jordi learns where he lives within the
city. The other elves are confused by this but knows jordi
must have some plan in his mind. Eventually near affea
the elves leave the forest and point the direction to the
city only about 10 miles east. The human leaves the group
and heads for the city in the distance the next morning.]
Encounter #20 - Night 45 - Wild Forest - 7:26pm
[While at camp neva goes to relieve herself. Soon a cry is
heard and a yell for help. Jordi immediately gets up and
runs toward the direction to find no neva. The moon is
out tonight so its easy to see in the forest but a fellow
elf brings more elves and a torch. Soon a trail is picked
up and the elves spot trold folk. They are crrying a netted
Neva. Theres about 6 of them in total. A battle ensues
of melee weapons spears to spears. Five of the trold folk
are killed by the other elves. One elf unfournately is
killed in the battle while 2 others are wounded. For Jordi
he fights one trold folk and takes 2 hits for 3 points of
damage total. But he kills the trold after about 2 minutes
o intense fighting. Neva is freed unharmed.]
Encounter #21 - Night 55 - Wild Forest - 11:50pm
[A human outcast from nearby Gom, one of many humans outcast
into the forest for various reasons, finds himself sneaking
into the elf village for food or supplies. Desperate he
sneaks past the sentries and finds Jordi's shack. Outside
he goes through a storage smaller area. Jordi hears the
racket and goes to investigate but forgets to put on armor
thinking it just an animal. He carries his spear with him.
The two find each other staring at each other. Suddenly
the man with a dagger lunges for the elf. The man fails
to hit but jordi gets a very lucky strike and the spear
hits him in the upper chest and does 28 points of damage
instantly killing the human. More surprised Jordi finds
he couldn't help the man if he wanted to. The sentries
are called and later reprimanded for letting him enter
the village.]
Encounter #22 - Day 58 - Wild Forest - 4:26pm
[While Jordi and Neva head to a nearby village where Neva
has relatives both encounter humans on horseback on one
of the very few dirt road/paths in the forest. The two
humans answer questions and jordi finds them to be
travellers from Gom going to Donara.]
Encounter #23 - Day 59 - Wild Forest - 7:44am
[A elf child comes to the village and reports he spotted
humans camped outside the village a few miles out. Jordi
and some others go to investigate and find a camp full
of about 13 pilgrims on some religious journey. Some
of the elves are disgusted by the religious aspects ofthe
humans but agree to let them go on as long as they leave
soon and don't stay long.]
Encounter #24 - Day 62 - Wild Forest - 6:32pm
[Jordi goes to relieve himself in the forest and hnars grunting
which hes heard before - boar. Jordi knows they can be
dangerous with their tusks but also knows he could easilly
handle them. But then more snorting is heard and he realizes
there must be 3 boars. Jordi quickly finds a tree he could
climb if he needs be then he sees them 3 large 50-100 pounders
coming out of the bush near him. Boars can be territorial
but don't jordi right away. Jordi gets near the tree and
decides a boar dinner might be nice for dinner. He aims
his spear to throw at one and throws. But it misses. At
this point the boars flee the scene. Jordi recovers his
spear and heads back to camp.]
Encounter #25 - Night 62 - Wild Forest - 5:22am
[Jordi and Neva are staying in a village where she grew up which
has about 80 or so elves and 2 dwarfs. As the village sleeps
and sentries patrol the night quietness is disrupted by scurrying
noises. A muffled scream from sentries then a few minutes later
jordi is awakened to noises on the roof of his wooden shack
as if a animal is on it. He goes to grab his spear and head
to the door. When he opens it he is shocked to see a moving
leg about 8 feet or more tall moving in front of the door. He
quickly closes the door and grabs his armor while trying to
wake neva. He then with a lantern lit notices the roof is
caving in slightly under heavy weight. Whatever is out there
is huge and heavy. Suddenly noises is heard outside and bells
of alarm are heard through the village. A call for warriors
is yelled. Jordi casts Invisiblity and grabs Neva with weapons
in hand. They open the door and try to squeeze between two
giant legs and run outside. They turn to see a large great
spider on the roof of their shack! Then they notice 2 more
and in the village notice to their shock about 8 more! With
bodies next to each other to have the effect of cloaking both
Neva and Jordi prepare bows. They fire on the ron on the roof
four times each and after 4 rounds kill the spider. They
then turn to another fire on it. After 3 rounds with an
impressive hit by Jordi's bow doing 18 points in one hit they
take out another. AFter a few seconds they find another one
attacking a family of elves at their home and fire on it from
the back. After 5 rounds with an impressive 19 point hit
from Jordi's bow they kill the 3rd one. The elves in the
village kill the others but 2 spiders flee into the forest.
OF the elves 27 are paralyzed but recover with the elf healers
in the village. Unfournately 8 elves die including 2 elf
children. Another 12 elves are wounded from minor wounds
to a couple severe wounds but are quickly treated by the half
dozen elf healers in the village. The three sentries that
were on duty were the first to be killed in the raid. The
elf elder tells jordi this is rare. The spiders do attack
smaller villages if hungry or needing something but this big
a group and village. Elfs gather poison from the spiders
for sell in human cities for village income and then fur
as well. The village leader says they could get maybe 100-150
gold just in their by products and that could help the village
out for a year or more.
Note: Impressive CEP here 630!
Encounter #26 - Day 63 - Wild Forest - 5:48pm
[As jordi and Neva return alone to Jordi's home area they
encounter smoke in the forest and go investigate. They
find a camp of humans all dead about 3 look like hunters
or poachers. From their wounds look like they were killed
by other elves in the area. The campfire had slightly
spread and caused a minor bush fire but jordi and neva
douse it so it doesn't spread into a forest fire. Jordi
reports the deaths to a elf to let a nearby human
settlement know.]
Encounter #27 - Day 64 - Wild Forest - 12:00pm
[Jordi and 3 of his clan brothers hear of another human
camp attacked and investigate. They find 8 dead humans
(4 adult males, 2 females and 2 children). Their wagon
was pillaged and burnt. Jordi gets concerned now finding
2 dead camps in a row. He speaks to the elf king about
this and the king says some elves are uprising that they
believe humans should never defile the forest even though
many elf clans allow them as a symbiotic relationship.
The king is working with those groups to stop the violence
however but he assures jordi this happens every once in
awhile when more and more humans enter the forest.]
Encounter #28 - Day 66 - Wild Forest - 9:01am
[Jordi and Neva encounter a group of humans in a wagon.
On sight of the elves the humans try to flee down the
path but the forest is too narrow for fast travel. The
elves quickly overcome them. It turns out the 6 pilgrims
are trying to leave the forest and forget their pilgrimage
due to the recent human massacres they've heard about.
Jordi arranges it with the elf king to give the humans
a group of 2 elf escorts out of the forest as protection
and the humans reluctant agree and thank jordi.]
Encounter #29 - Night 68 - Wild Forest - 12:10am
[Jordi with 2 other elfs are alone in the forest in a camp.
They are planning to leave the wild forest and see Jordi
off back to Marentia. A sentry yells to the other 2 to
wake up and everyone hears trees falling and bushes being
crunched. The campfire and torches show a tree fall near
them and out of it appears a 14.5 feet tall orchi. The
creature yells and charges the 3. Theres no time for magic
and the creature is on the tree with a club. A fight that
takes 12 phases (3 full minutes or more) takes place. The
creature is wounded (19 by the other 2 elves and 20 by
Jordi). Unfournately the both other elves go down and the
last thing Jordi sees is a club bashing his shoulder. With
the damage previously scored by the orchi Jordi surcombs to
the damage and falls unconscious just as he sees the Orchi
climb on top of him....Jordi wakes 85 minutes later to aching
bones. He feels being moved and wakes his eyes to see the
orchi's back above him. Seems the orchi is dragging him by
his arms. Jordi looks back just in time to see where his
camp was. There the other 2 elf bodies lie but in chunks
as 90% of their body has been litterally eaten. Nothing but
bones and bloody pumps remain where the orchi fed. Jordi
assumes he must be full and bringing him back to his lair for
a snack later. Jordi decides what to do but hes too weak
to fight back physically so magic must be the only recourse.
Jordi knows 2 spells he could try but both could mean the
creature might fall forward, side or back ontop of him
crushing him. But he has no choice. He begins to speak the
few words which makes the orchi slow and then turn to the
sound. The creature turns just in time as the spell completes
and lightning rushes up the arm of Jordi and strikes the
creature who is already wounded and does 9 points to the orchi.
This does indece him further. But the orchi still has 1 point
left to him. Jordi is let go just in time to see the orchi
turn and roar. The natural hide of the beast saved it but
its angry now. Just as jordi's weakened body sees the orchi
reach down jordi thinks of Neva and his life. He knows this
is the end....darkness overcomes jordi....the next thing
jordi feels is intense pain. Pain? That would mean hes
still alive? Jordi tries to wake up and sees blurred vision
of the forest trees. Then a form approaches and he hears
"he's awake!". Then another form approaches and looks down
at Jordi. He recognizes the form of a faerry. Then sighs
when he recognizes Varange!
Varange: "Hello there! Welcome back. You are one lucky
elf. I just happened to be in the area..after you didn't
invite me to your wedding!...and saved your life!"
Jordi's weak body begins to stir as he assess his damage.
Mostly exhaustion but it seems his club wounds are healed
(by varange?). Jordi looks to see the orchi dead having
fallen just inches from him with 3 small darts in his head.
Varange: "You may not like me. Then again most don't. That's
fine. But I'm not your enemy. We are the same kind. the
enemy may be the humans and their ill will to our kind and
this world. Just don't forget that. I've called for
some of your clan to come and help. I must be leaving now
I have my own job to do."
[With that he and another faerry take to the air before Jordi
can get the strength to speak anything. Shocked he finds
a few elves soon arrive and tend to his wounds na d busy
what remains of the other 2 elves. All in all Jordi recovers
fast and finds he is down only a few points of damage.
Varange's healing must've done it.]
GM: Note - You came close here. Very very close. Within
a point of death. you were knocked out once. Being
a wizard may have saved your life with the spell. If
the lightning not worked the darts Varange did would've
not worked and you'd have been dead. This shows how
encounters can still be dangerous even in your home land.
I was able to roll and determine varange was in the area
to help you. A story you may want to tell the others or not. :)
Encounter #30 - Night 68 - Wild Forest - 12:10am
[Jordi within hours of leaving the wild forest comes across
a druidic party (druid and 5 others). The druid is teaching
the others about the forest. The human party is ignored
by Jordi and the elves. In fact the elves sometimes fear
the druids for their power over the forest and allow those
humans to stay in the forest without question.]
Encounter #31 - Day 76 - Ocean / Ship - 12:56pm
[Having rested from the severe orchi encounter Jordi travels
alone to Marentia on the ship. Today they spot 3 merchant
ships in vonvoy formation and appear to be Donaran supply
ships again. They pass the ships with no hostile action.]
Encounter #32 - Day 77 - Ocean / Ship - 9:36am
[While jordi watches the coastline he notices a small dolphin
swim alongside the ship for hours. The dolphin seems
friendly enough. Jordi enjoys the encounter on the
lonely trip back.]
Encounter #33 - Day 79 - Ocean / Ship - 10:14am
[The ship spots 3 small vessels in the distance that look to
be Cerulean travelling ships or passenger ships. No
encounter other than spotting each other occurs. The
traveller ships avoids jordi's ship.]
Encounter #34 - Day 81 - Ocean / Ship - 7:04am
[A Coefederacy merchant ship carrying supplies is spotted.
The ship jordi is on is flaged over for help. Seems the
ship has rotten spices and wonders if the ship cna exchange
some spices. An agreement is reached and a barter is
done and both ships leave in peace.]
Encounter #35 - Day 83 - Ocean / Ship - 5:30pm
[A large moderate storm approaches the ship and the captain
is able to avoid it however and ship doesn't take anything
but light rain from it.]
Encounter #36 - Night 83 - Ocean / Ship - 11:58pm
[A climan troop ship is spotted and the climan ship gives
chase. For some 2 hours both ships play cat and mouse
in the fog of the sea but after 2 hours Jordi's ship eludes
the climans by the captain's skill. It almost came down
to a takeover but the crew got the ship unanchored and
sail faster before the climans arrived. Appears to be
a climan military ship rather than pirate ship.]
Encounter #37 - Day 84 - Ocean / Ship - 7:44am
[Near Marentia the ship encounters a light storm which the
captain easilly avoids.]
Encounter #38 - Day 90 - Marentia / Sivas - 7:59am
[While jordi heads to a tavern to meet the others in the
party once again he is on the main road and finds a
military column of 10 marentian troopers running down the
street in formation. This is only of note in that they
seem to bump into him on purpose. A very rude display.
Maybe Jordi will mention this to Farseeker.]
As you can see Jordi almost died at least twice. The Orchi
encounter was very very close. But who would save him? :)
The reason behind the Varange thing is I rolled a Character
class encounter. I looked through my database of characters
in this game and past adventures. Could not locate anyone
in this area and I knew Varange was returning to this general
area so put him there. Bam! Encounter and makes things a bit
ironic :)
