[Recap]
From Jordi: [Re: Actions]
Jordi realizes there are too much persons near the phyton to
keep firing at him. A failed shot that hits one of the
unarmored party members will have devasting effects. So,
while the draws another arrow, the takes one (or perhaps
two) step/s back, and aims and fires at the flying creature.
"Hopefully -he wishes- a flying creature has to be light,
and that means little or no armour...unless it uses magic,
of course."
(OOC: I know it has a lot of armour, but Jordi doesn't...)
GM: Ack.
From Ben'dar: [Re: Actions]
When he hears Caladan cry out, Ben'Dar realizes that
Balrog's body has been found. He veers to his right and
picks up speed, attempting to get out of this accursed
magical darkness as quickly as possible.
If he comes out of the darkness (assuming the darkness
doesn't follow the unconscious enemy on Tef'wo's back?), he
will quickly make sure that there are no enemies right near
him and that no one is in dire need of help nearby. He will
also keep a close watch on the dark night sky. He is still
very angry about getting hit from behind by that flying
creature and would love to pay it back....
Then he will go back to his horse to the limp body of the
enemy female. He will drag it off his horse and onto the
ground (none too gently) where he will examine it.
If it is alive, he will disarm it and call to the others, "I
have captured a female (______) alive!" (GM fill in the blank
once Ben'Dar can see what it is) If it's dead...well then
he'll just leave it on the ground and look around for
something else to fight (preferably that flying thing).
GM: Ok. So you lead the horse and body out of darkness. Ack.

[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 2: Phase 2]
[Mana Allocation]
[Xian begins a spell chant..]
[Missile Fire]
[Jordi quickly restrings a new arrow and tracks to the
sky and finds a form. A large form too big to be
Thig. He tracks its hazy movement and fires. The
arrow however misses by 8 feet. Even though you have
better eyes at night the arrow misses the swift flying
creature. The arrow tracks up high about 30 feet then
coems down and lands flat about 9 feet to the left of
Chion.]
[At the same time Strie'bog also strings and tracks
a form. He fires almost blindly in the darkness
and the arrow does hit! However it bounces off the
thick hide of the creature. The wind carries the
bounced arrow way out to the west of camp (in the
B column on the map).]
[Magic Effect]
[Xian finishes his words and his spell to end the
insubstantial spell fails. He curses to himself
as he needs solid mass to heal Balrog.]
[Melee and Movement]
[Farseeker finds the area crowded and can't swing his great
sword so in one giant lunge he thrusts forward with the
great sword and hits the python squarely in the "abdomen"
and the huge blade pierces the snake clear through with
3 inches of the blade out the other side. The great snake
wriggles in pain and spits blood. Farseeker pulls back
the blade after placing a foot on the snake for leverage
and pulls the blade out. This almost cuts the snake into
2 pieces doing 25 points of total damage which is twice
the damage it can take. The snake is dead before the blade
is pulled out. It slumps to the ground almost hitting
Chion and Z'leyra.]
[Trembyl looks around for new targets but does not find
anything. He takes a look at the camp.]
[Ben'dar quickly leads the horse with body forward. Since
he is facing North-East that's the direction he heads.
He glances over his shoulder to look for the campfire nad
stars or other lights but as he moves still sees nothing.
Ben'dar finishes his move 30 feet away and still is in
darkness. Ben'dar then realizes the magical darkness
seems to be moving.]
[Unali drops her arms and examines the camp for new targets
but sees nothing. She quickly scans for trouble or
wounded...]
[Thig places his now empty repeating crossbow on his
shoulder with its strap. He then dives towards his
dogs and lands near them. He examines the wounded dog.]
[The flying creature chooses another attack and dives
straight for Chion again. Chion hears the flap of
wings just as a club hits his shoulder knocking him
slightly but not off his feet. The heavy blow hits
and does 5 points of damage.]
GM: Again a random D10. Sorry!
[Caladan lays Balrog down. Then quickly examines his
body. He quickly finds on his left side a hole in
his clothing. He places his hand there and looks in
the light of the nearby still burning bush...he pulls
out two figures and finds blood. Caladan jumps to
the other side and opens the clothing. A wound but it
seems to have stopped bleeding or is slow. Caladan
quickly checks his pulse. He glances at Xian approaching.]
Caladan: "Hes still alive but unconscious."
[Z'leyra notices in the distance Caladan and a ghostly
Xian approach a body in the distance. She believes
she heard Caladan yell it may be Balrog. The campfire
also seems to show the darkness is now moving to the
north east. The glow of stars in that area is gone now.
Z'leyra glances up into the sky and wonders where the
flying creature went to.]
[The wolf watches the sky...]
[Pogo and Ventrius examine each other and are glad when
Thig flies down to help the wounded dog.]
[Kasha heads toward the west...]
[Chion reaches to his shoulder and grabs it and notices
its going to be a nasty sore but nothing serious.]
[Suddenly for those 3 who are looking up into the sky -
Z'leyra, Strie'bog and Jordi a flash is seen high above
as if a thin streak of fire. As quickly as it started
its gone. All 3 wonder what the heck that was about?]
[Xian approaches caladan and kneels as best he can in
his unsolid state. He examines the wound.]
Xian: "A burn of some kind. We'll need some burn
ointment." [He curses to himself since he can't
heal balrog until he can touch him.]
