[Recap]
From Strie'bog: [Re: Actions]
Yep, I'm getting use to the combat.
As for actions:
Realizing that his standard arrows may be useless, and
hearing that Balrog is down, Strie'bog will move in that
direction. Having no understanding of the fire in the sky,
or knowledge of the healing abilities of the others in the
party, he will move over to Balrog to heal him.
Strie'boh calls over to Xian: "Do you need me to ease his
pain?" He will coax the wolf to stay with him.
In the next phase (if you want to progress): If Strie'bog is
needed to heal Balrog, he will.
If not, then he will start preparing a fire arrow in an
attempt to get beyond the creatures armor.
Also, are there any stories of the Vassa that would help
Strie'bog understand what occured with the fire in the sky?
Hearing the call of someone still in the darkness, Strie'bog
holds off shooting.
He allocates mana to Fire Arrow. Once the spell is cast, he
will shoot at the flying creature.
GM: Stories no. Ack.
From Ben'dar: [Re: Actions]
Ben'Dar snorts in disgust as he realizes the darkness is
following him! (Or rather, following the unconscious body
on his horse) He shoves the body off of Tef'wo and climbs
up onto the horse. Wheeling around to try to change
direction, he trots, trying to get out of the darkness.
Ben'Dar has his spear in hand, and when he gets out of the
darkness, he'll watch for the flying creature. He doesn't
know if it's still alive and fighting, but he doesn't want
to be caught unaware again by it.
GM: Ack.
From Z'leyra: [Re: Actions]
Z'leyra says "Watch for the flier! I will do some healing.
As I am invisible it is unlikely to hit me while I do so."
GM: Ack.
From Strie'bog: [Re: Reply to Z'leyra's actions]
Knowing that someone is going to heal Balrog, Strie'bog
will turn his attention to powering up the Fire Arrow spell
and then shooting the creature.
GM: Ack.
From Jordi: [Re: Actions]
Jordi quickly takes another arrow, and prepares for firing
to the flying creature.
In the meanwhile, while he is looking at the heavens, trying
to locate the flying creature, he says, in a low tone:
"Well done, Farseeker".
Then, he curses (mentally) himself. Speaking means lesser
posibilities of detecting an enemy, because his voice will
cover the noise of the aproaching enemies.
----------------------------------------------------------------
[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 3]
[Mana Allocation]
[Xian, Thig and Strie'bog allocate some mana]
[Missile Fire]
[Jordi reloads and aims where the flying creature should
be and fires. But the arrow misses easilly. It lands
far to the northwest.]
[Magic Effect]
[Xian finishes his spell and becomes solid as he dispells
the spell. His knees sink to the ground and creates
an impression in the sane. Xian quickly examines the
damage on balrog and lifts the tunic to get a better
view for healing.]
[Melee and Movement]
[Farseeker looks around the camp for any other targets
but finds none. He claps the great sword onto the
sand to get rid of the dripping organ mess of the
serpent.]
[Trembyl sheathes holds his scimitar and considers
casting some magic soon to attract the flying creature.]
[Ben'dar stops and turns. He pulls the body off the
horse quickly and it lands with a thump. He quickly
mounts and turns the horse around with a pull of its
mane. The horse then trots off to the south-west.
Both emerge out of the darkness.]
[Unali examines the battlefield. She sees Ben'dar
emerge from the darkness..]
[Thig examines Pogo the hurt dog and prepares to heal
him with magic.]
[Unfournately Thig doesn't see the flying creature dive
for him and swing his club. But thig's head just inches
away and misses the blow.]
[Caladan examines the rest of Balrog's body for damage.]
[Z'leyra heads toward Xian and Balrog.]
[The wolf seems to sense Z'leyra and raises its head to
look in that direction.]
[Ventrius sees the flying creature and the dog leaps
toward the creature but misses just as it gets out
of the way in its attack on Thig.]
[Kasha and Chion watch the battlefield for other targets.
Kasha notices the horses shuffle a bit and considers
going to calm them down.]
[Strie'bog yells to Xian who simply shakes his head as
if to say he should have it in control. Strie'bog
loads a new arrow and prepares...]
[The Eagle swoops down and flies just over the campfire
in a quick flyover the camp.]
[Xian tears a portion of Balrog's tunic and prepares
for a healing spell.]
[Turn 2: Phase 4]
[Mana Allocation]
[Xian, Thig and Strie'bog allocate some mana]
[Missile Fire]
[Jordi fires again at the flying creature but fails to
hit ...the arrow lands near Ben'dar's horse about 4
feet away..]
[Strie'bog takes a squint and aims his bow. He then
fires at the flying creature which passes overhead
almost 20 feet up. The arrow hits! It explodes into
a mini fireball on impact. Combined with force damage
and fire damage it does 12 points-6 hide doing 6 points
pass the armor. The creature yells in pain and suddenly
pluments to the ground. The creature falls at an
angle and lands on the ground 30 feet to the south-east
behind Strie'bog with a loud thump.]
[Magic Effect]
[Xian places his hands on Balrog. One over the burn
wound and the other on his head. He finishes speaking
his magic words and a green/blue hue forms around
the hands. Balrog quickly heals almost half of its
wounds completely heal (7 points).]
[Thig finishes his spell and places hands on the hurt
dog. The spell completely heals the bit wound of Pogo.]
[Melee and Movement]
[Phasal Combat ended.]
--------------------------------
[Balrog wakes up and sees Xian and Caladan over him.]
[Two more phases and everyone surrounds the flying creautre
that fell. They find it still breathing so quickly stab
it with swords or other weapons and finsih it off.]
[Ben'dar tells of the body he threw of the horse.]
[Farseeker quickly directs the group to surround the darkness.
Trembyl and Unali surround the darkness zone with burning
bits of wood and the dogs patrol the area while others
watch it.]
[Kasha asks Thig to help him go retrieve the 2 escaped
horses that ran into the darkness.]
[By the time Z'leyra reaches Balrog he is healed and up.
He has suffered a bad burnt wound though.]
[Two minutes pass and the darkness is still there which
likely means the spell is longer lasting. Examination
of the creatures finds 2 are firehounds. One killed by
Ben'dar the other killed by dogs/wolf and Kasha. The
same creatures that took Cholan's hand out why BEn'dar
recognized them. The flying creature is a nergali demon.
The two pythons are serpent Women. It must be concluded
the one in the darkness is another serpent women likely
a magic casting one. Its likely logical that the magical
one summoned these demons as her personal army to help
her in some goal.]
Farseeker: "While in Maren I saw wanted posters and a warning
message about this magical one. She has terrorized people
up and down the coast but mostly stayed to the river. We
may have helped in getting rid of this group."
What do you wish to do with the unconscious whatever Ben'dar
has?

Player Notes
Jordi 4 Arrows
Strie'bog 2 Arrow
When the adrenline fades Ben'dar collapses to the ground from
his damage. Its determined he has two broken ribs and massive
bruise damage. But your leather is in tact as the damage was
from a club. However Balrog took a Fire Dart from the magical
serpent women (Caladan confirms this via the wound) and his
leather is likely gone.
Actions? Comments?
Next update Monday.
Let me know what you do to the serpent women. Keep in mind
its probably pretty powerful. If you execute it that's fine.
Monday, we'll move on to another encounter if there is such
and move the game on. I'll report on mana and natural healing
information.
