Game Update #116 in sequence (file #439)
----------------------------------------------------------------
Admin notes: Well I hope Friday's update on Express Gaming was
good enough. No one commented on it so figure the actions and
direction taken by each character was good enough. Those 3
posts would've taken 10 updates (5 weeks). So we saved a lot of
time doing it Express.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
[Recap]
From Z'leyra: [Re: Actions]
While in the meeting room Z'leyra will patch (use her
healing skill and bandages) all who need it. If anyone
else wants to practice their healing skills she will
direct them to patch those with the lightest wounds.
If we have time she will massage Farseeker. [She will
offer to massage Balrog - to encourage healing - in the
evening before we rest.]
She will cast Orient Self EL0 then cast Shamanic Healing
EL3 on Farseeker and Kasha. She will cast EL0 healing on
any (except Balrog or Xian) who ask but will suggest that
others could use the experience at casting healing spells.
She will not bother healing herself yet as she will want
to be able to heal herself magically if she gets more
seriously injured.
GM: Ack. No time for massage. As for anything that will
happen 12 or more hours in game time in the future (which
could be weeks from now) you'll have to remind me. :)
--------------------------
From Chion: [Re: Actions]
Chion decides that the nine seconds it will take to reach
the preistess is far far far too long a time to give here
and will crouch down then teleport behind her.
(OOC - I believe time to cast is based in part on EL,
and doing a EL 0 spell like this with his actual EL and it
being balance and all, well, he should appear at the end
of this phase where he wants to)
He will turn and backstab her while she (no doubt) is
still preparing her spells. Worst comes to worst he's
the one she attacks first. Best case, a few archers manage
to nail her in the phase he teleports. (Thus the attempt
to be behind her and using her for cover)
Will wait to see how it turns out I guess.
GM: Ack.
--------------------------
From Z'leyra: [Re: More actions]
Z'leyra casts an EL1 Bal Speed spell on herself, then
runs in going north of the table (to avoid blocking line
of sight of those firing missiles) and will strike the lady
when she is in range. If necessary she will chase the lady.
GM: Ack.
--------------------------
From Ben'dar: [Re: Actions]
Ben'Dar guesses that the woman will try to flee out the
back door of the room, so he will move straight across
the room toward the other door to try to cut her off.
(If she doesn't run, then he will veer over toward her
and attack with his pike)
GM: Ack.

[New Stuff]
Octaqi 30, in the 163rd Year [TH]
[Meanwhile in Caladan's Village]
[Day 60 of Trip]
[Time: 5:30am]
[In the meeting Room Z'leyra helps to heal folks who need it.]
GM: Wound Report
Player Damage Amount Damage Number of Magical
Name (% of Full Health) Level Healing Today
Chion 100% ----- -
Strie'bog 100% ----- -
Thig 100% ----- -
Kasha 96% Light 1
Ben'dar 93% Light -
Unali 92% Light -
Z'leyra 90% Light -
Trembyl 87% Light -
Farseeker 83% Light 1
Xian 77% Moderate 1
Balrog 53% Moderate 1
GM: Farseeker improved from 56-83%
Kasha improves from 71 to 96% full Strength.
No one asked for healing otherwise so we'll continue.
Z'leyra had given chance for Strie'bog to maybe
get healing experience but no post.
--------------------------------------------------------
[Time: 5:33am]
[The library combat. Just some basic descriptions.
The chairs are all wooden but have satin cushions
and back cushions. The tables are standard table
height and wooden with a simple brown cloth over them.
Each table has 1-3 lit candles on them with spares of
1-3 more unlit. The center table has a ink and quill
container in case someone wishes to write some notes.
Above the center table hanging at A5/A6 (on bigger
map) is a large Pike hanging. Its shiny and looks
black (hilt) with the shiny gray blade. It looks
more ceremonial rather than for combat. Maybe some
prize from some great warrior? It doesn't look
too valuable though.
The bookcases are up to 8 feet tall. On the walls
(column 5 & 47) the bookcases are tucked against the
cement walls. This room unlike the common ones like
the barracks has red carpet (but not too expensive
carpet). Each bookcase has 3 shelves to it. It
will be later determined there is over 210 square
feet of nothing but books and scrolls on the shelves.
Each shelf has a clothing curtain like hanging which
protects the book from dampness and dust. It can be
pulled back to reveal the books. Lanterns hang
between the bookshelves giving full light int eh room.
There is no open torches aside from the table candles.
It is later estimated there must be 150 scrolls and
5 dozen or so books?]

-----------------------------------------
Turn 1: Phase 1 [No Ambush]
[Magic Alocation]
[Chion, Z'leyra, Thig allocate mana.]
[Missile Fire]
[Thig hovering above the party a few feet looks through
the tall door. His hovering ability gives him a
slight edge in firing his crossbow. Which he does.
He aims quickly and fires the 90 feet. But misses,
the dart hits the north wall by her.]
[Trembyl holds his Arbalest up but can't fire through
the other party members.]
[Balrog places his hand on his belt to grab a dagger
but realizes she is too far.]
[Strie'bog is blocked by others for a shot as well.]
[Magic Effect]
[Z'leyra casts her spell for more speed.]
[Meanwhile a female not seen yet hears Z'leyra's words.
She knows the words and knows it not to be one of
her kind. As soon as she does she hides between the
south end of one bookcase and casts her own spell quietly
so on one can hear her.]
[Chion who crouched down when he saw the female speaks
his quick words and images the spot in his mind. He
disappears and appears just inches from the femal
crossing the 90 odd feet to her in a second.]
[The female seeing Thig knows something is wrong.
She also casts mana. She now speaks her magical
words quickly and disappears...]
[Melee and Movement]
[Thig flies into the room seeing the girl gone he
turns south down an aisle to explore the room.]
[Farseeker heads into the room.]
[Trembyl heads into the room and turns with Thig south.]
[Ben'dar runs straight forward to the door. But
he sees the girl gone and wonders what to do next.]
[Unali and Balrog enter the room.]
[Z'leyra heads into the room. She notices though she
isn't moving faster than usual. The spell must've
failed. She ends up behind Ben'dar.]
[The female peers behind the bookcase to see who
is there. Her eyes widen as she recognizes him.]
[Kasha, Strie'bog and Xian enter the room.]

Turn 1: Phase 2
[Magic Alocation] - None
[Missile Fire] - None
[Magic Effect]
[The female smiles and peers around the corner. The
Master told her specific instructions if he returned.
To keep him alive. But he humiliated her. She won't
let that pass. Not without inflicting some pain first.
with her spell complete she whirls around the bookcase
and points her hand toward Chion. Now only her head
and arm is seen around the bookcase (she didn't move).
Suddenly a small blotch of flame flies toward chion.
The spell makes the curtain on the bookcase move by
its wind and slightly ruffle. The fire dart flies
65 feet. It hits! Amazingly with roll, high MEL
and Chion'a MDV still hit (with a 3% under if MDV
was just a bit more would've failed). The fire
dart hits Chion's left shoulder and throws him back
against the wall. It burns a hole in his chainmail
(-1 AV now) and burning Chion's neck for 16 points
of damage! The female smiles. Now we'll see who
humilates who!]
[The other female who teleported to the same row as
the female who just hurt Chion grabs her weapon.
She could've teleported out and warned others. But
this group fascinates her. Intruders or a test?
She looks to the other female for a slight nod in
her favor but the other female is busy with her
own spell.]
[Melee & Movement]
[Thig flies south. He gets to the south wall and looks
right (west) sees no one and turns east and spots
the lady who was sitting in the chair. He prepares
to fire his crossbow.]
[Farseeker looks over his shoulder at Z'leyra when he
sees Chion hit with the flame. He has seen it before
as Caladan has used fire darts. He recalls what one
did to Cholan's hand having virtually melted it. He
hopes Z'leyra will help him. He bravely runs to the
aisle where he saw the flame come from.]
[Trembyl sees Thig raise his crossbow and fires there
is an enemy around the corner of the bookcase. He
raises his scimitar and prepares to battle. He
rounds the corner and sees the back of the female
who was sitting at the table. He thrusts at hr
back hits her in the left lung and does 5 points to
her. Blood sprays and she screams. But she is
still standing.]
[Ben'dar heads eastward.]
[Unali heads east and then down the 2nd aisle.]
[Balrog heads eastward.]
[Z'leyra heads eastward toward the table.]
[The female who hurt Chion decides to get near the
other door. She leaves row O and turns east then
up the aisle running north.. At this angle only
Chion sees her. Chion recognizes her immediately
as the female who interrogated him when he first
got here. He recalled her name as A'gar.]
GM: Only Chion sees her at this point.
[Anger builds in Chion. The pain causes him to
drop his staff. With that hand free he holds
his neck/shoulder wound. The sheer heat of the
flame cauterized the wound. But he holds it to
ensure a major artery was not hit. He looks south
and sees A'gar coming into view and recognizes her
instantly. With adrenaline and anger she stands
up using sheer will and the now empty chair as
leverage. With hand still on neck he runs toward
A'gar with sai in hand. With her now at 2.5 feet
from him he swings his sai but the pain in his shoulder
combined with the anger results in a miss as the sai
doesn't get near her.]
[Kasha runs south to join Trembyl.]
[The female just hurt by Trembyl turns and with a dagger
swings on Trembyl but her swing is wild and she
misses.]
[Strie'bog and Xian head east.]
[Kasha, Strie'bog and Xian enter the room.]

She falls to the ground.]
[Ben'dar moves east.]
[Unali heads south.]
[Balrog and Z'leyra head east.]
[A'gar sees Farseeker and 3 others behind him. She
is now worried. She desperately swings her dagger
at Chion and hits for 2 more points.]
[Chion still angry swings his sai as A'gar turns toward
the door to run. He hits but the blow is high and
hits her in the side of the head. The blade impacts
under her left ear doing a massive 15 points of damage.
A'gar falls to the ground.]

GM: Combat lasted 9 seconds. Chion is hurt.
A'gar is still alive. But unconscious. Though
with a head wound like this she may bleed to death
in seconds.
Actions? Comments?
Next update Wednesday...
GM: Unfournately its bed time for me. With a storm that
came her tonight i didn't have time to do a full updated.
So this is as best I could. Chion don't think this was
personal. A'gar was O32. When you came you were the
only target. Just got happenstance things ended up this
way. Otherwise it'd have been Farseeker who is fastest
moving in the area. The other lady is dead. There is
no one else in the Library.
Actoins - Heal Chion? Chion want healing? Your -18 hits.
Down 18. Kill A'gar? or let her bleed?
Next update will be a supplement to this one on Wednesday.
I'll include treasure and a list of the books and such
found. Then we'll move to the next room. Sorry ran out
of time. in fact i don't have time to spell check this
one so sorry for any errors. Gotta rush this out.
