Game Update #54 in sequence (file #221]
----------------------------------------------------------------
Admin notes: See bottom for some admin notes.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
[Recap]
From Unali: [Re: Actions]
Unali will suggest to visit the Buog grave site as soon
as possible to find more clues.
GML: Ack. Already there.
From Z'leyra: [Re: Actions]
Z'leyra searches around the second gravesite for tracks.
Afterwards she sits, plays a bit on her drum and casts some spells.
GM: Ack. Need those spells. :)
From Chion: [Re: Actions]
Chion, curious now, will peruse the titles of the books on
Woundenal's book case for that ever elusive copy of "Ancient
Powerful Staves of Old." Who knows, there might be some good
fiction in there too. Perhaps a copy of "Ring World" or
something. ;)
(second part was a little joke, first part wasn't. Chion will
look to see what titles he can read, and if he finds the book
he thinks it is he will inquire about it when Woudenal
returns with tea.)
GM: Ack.
From Strie'bog: [Re: Actions]
Beyond helping others search around the grave site, Strie'bog
will see if Bodyzar the wolf can pick up any scents.
Looking at the body, does it remind Strie'bog of any Vassa
story? Afterwards, he will try again to see if the young
trees around here have any additional knowledge (or if they
saw the same thing).
GM: Ack.
------------------------------------------------------------------
[Info - For reminder to me and you]
Group 1 - Balrog, Kasha, Ben'dar, Thig, Strie'bog, Trembyl
Unali, Z'leyra
Group 2 - Caladan, Chion, Xian, Jordi, Farseeker
[New Stuff]
Octaqi 17, in the 163rd Year [TH]
[Meanwhile back at the 2nd Grave site - Location a few miles
south-west of Caladan's village. Roughly 90 minute ride.
Time: Roughly 9:15am]
[Thig hovers over the open grave where the strange corpse is.
He begins to lower and lower when the female who was at
the site before the party got there stops him. After a quick
translation Thig learns its not good for outsiders to do
such. So Thig overs over the grave and tries to peer at the
body in the darkness.]
[Balrog talks to Kasha while the others look around.]
Balrog: "Still don't understand this. Its not like they have
items of value to steal from."
Kasha: "Well its clear they are after something. Personally"
[he leans closer and quiets down] "I wouldn't be surprised
if Cetric wasn't behind this."
Balrog: "Wouldn't surprise me."
[Ben'dar now feeling better dismounts and examines the scene.
In the grass and gravel he finds some crumbs of recent food.
Looks like whoever was here ate the food which may be old
bread? He examines the open grave and almost gets sick again
from the scene and smell.]
[Strie'bog inspects the plant life and approaches the trees.
He begins to speak in strange tongues again.]
[Trembyl looks rather not at the graves but the surrounding
area. Deep in some thought he does this for some time.]
[Z'leyra inspects the perimeter for tracks. She finds
some horse tracks which the female declares are local
clan horses.]
[Unali inspects the graves. She studies them in depth for
any sort of clue. After 10 minutes she skips to the second
grave with the warrior suspected chief. While the sky is
overcast its bright enough to get some light into the deep
grave. Then she notices it. The right side of the body
(to her left facing downward) is slumped. On the left side
or left arm there is a obvious bulge where the hand is likely
to be. But on the right side there is nothing but a depression
in the old decayed fabric.]
[Horses are heard in the distance. Those who notice it see
riders approaching from the south-west.]
--------------------------------------------------------
[Meanwhile in the small valley in the mountains.]
Woundenal's Cabin Time: c. 8:45am]
[Caladan looks at Farseeker to reply to his comment.]
Caladan: "Guess he added a room back there."
Xian: "You guess?"
Caladan: "Actually I stayed in a shack near here. That
room wasn't there. In fact it was just a wall."
[Chion, Farseeker and Xian stand up to look around the
room in curious fashion.]
[Chion and Xian both head to the book shelf to inspect the
books. Farseeker heads back to the rear of the room where
the tables are laid out. Caladan just pets his firesnake
in thought of past memories.]
[Chion and Xian look at the books. They find various languages
some they can read and some they can't. Many are scholarly
books like on animals, plants and geology. One book is
on water well creation. Some are travel journals. As the
book titles are read Caladan speaks up.]
Caladan: "Quite a collection. Some spell books are in there.
One is on fire magic I learned from it myself."
[As if on cue Xian finds a book titled in Marentian "Fire
Powers and Ancient Fire Magic." Xian grabs it and tries to
pull the dusty tome out but it doesn't budge. He pulls harder
and harder and still it doesn't budge.]
Caladan: "Best be careful. He has a ward on those books. I
actually believe the book case. Only he can pull the books
out. Makes stealing them a nightmare. He could have magic
to affect constant trying to get them out."
[With that Xian stops and sighs.]
[Farseeker finds various tools and items on the back tables.
In one corner he finds a jar with a dead bug in it.]
Farseeker: "He into bugs or something?"
Caladan: "Yeah. He likes to study them."
Farseeker: "This one is sorta moth like with orange wings."
[Chion and Xian continue to look at the books. Titles they
find include:
* Tome of the Green Salamander
* History of Nef'la
* Cults of Fomoria [a unofficial guide]
* The Don Host a view of strategy and tactics
* The 12th Door of Chaos
* Storm Theory and Magics
* Autobiography of Cam Py
* The March of Time
* Fomorian Law [3 Volumes]
* Animals of the Mountains by Bulga Zaklam
[Theres about 12 others in various languages which can't be
read. But before more can be read Woundenal steps back in
carrying a tray with cups and a tea pitcher.]
Woundenal: "Sit sit. Some good tea here. You back there!
Farseeker? Be careful of those tools. Delicate. I see
you two are interested in my books?"
Xian: "A nice collection."
Woundenal: "A small one. Nothing big. Just some I've collected
over the past few years."
[He pours the tea into the cups and passes them around.]
-------------------------------------------------------------
[Meanwhile back at the 2nd Grave site - Location a few miles
south-west of Caladan's village. Roughly 90 minute ride.
Time: Roughly 9:20am]
[The riders approach and are Zen'da. Two of them are elderly
men. Three are warriors it seems. The elderly men dismount
and quickly head to the graves.]
Elder: "What are you doing! Back off there."
Elder 2: "What is that?" [He points to Thig]
[Ben'dar and the other warriors quickly explain what is going
on and details they need to know.]
[Ben'dar translates for Trembyl]
Trembyl: "Who is buried here if I may ask?"
Elder: "One of our old chiefs. I'm unsure of the name. The
identity is usually given by the high elder of our clan."
Trembyl: "Is he around?"
Elder: "He is in the village sick with cold which has made
him too weak to travel."
[Z'leyra finds tracks that lead eastward but as with the other
site they seem to disappear. But this time the tracks seem
to be a bit messy as if obscured in haste. Z'leyra turns
when she sees the Elders enter the area. High above
the eagle squaks loudly every few minutes.]
[Strie'bog's wolf tries to pick up scents or trails. He
detects a scent trail that leads to the tracks Z'leyra
found. But stops around Z'leyra's location waiting for
further instructions while Strie'bog is near the trees.]
Actions? Comments?
Next update Monday..
For Group 1 - Actions? Comments? Questions?
For Group 2 - Actions? Comments? Questions?
Strie'bog - Will likely email you in the next 2 days on any
info you gleam from your spells. Stay tuned.
Ok. Some Admin work -
1. Yes. Website is currently down. Guess it'll be up soon
I hope. Will call friday or tomorrow if I get time to check
as to what could be the cause.
2. Happy Thanksgiving for those in the USA!
3. Effective december 5th - pnpgm at softhome.net will no longer
be valid. Seems softhome.net is charging for the email accounts
now. So guess I'll lose it. So for email you can send email
to longshot at cybermax.net or longshot at darktech.org the darktech
one is likely easiest to recall. I have to look into this to
see what all this affects. I believe the mailing list uses
my @darktech.org as a alternative ID for sending mail out.
So we'll see.
4. No update friday. I figure folks will be too busy or out of
town for the holidays to worry about a silly update. You
can still post of course but next update is monday.
5. Short update. I know. Could be longer but I can't do much
at this point until certain things are done.
