Game Update #12a in sequence (file #44)

Admin notes: None.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
[Recap]
From Chion: [Re: Actions]
Chion will tell the elf, "It will be ok, we've dealt with
large creatures before." He will wait until he sees it to
cast his astral web spell from the staff.
Chion will also yell LOUDLY "WE'VE GOT COMPANY AGAIN!
EVERYBODY WAKE UP!" muttering "ya skurvy dogs" under his
breath (joking on that part).
GM: Ack.
------------------------------------------
From Ben'dar: [Re: Actions]
Assuming Ben'Dar wakes up from all the commotion, before
the big thing arrives, he'll grab his pike and leap onto
Tef'wo. He'll ride into the middle of camp near the fire
to draw the initial attack, if there is one. He'll tell
the others in a low voice, "Get to the shadows. Quick!"
GM: Ack.
------------------------------------------
From Z'leyra: [Re: Actions]
Previously:
..hundreds of spells? Nah, she may have cast hundreds of
mana, but that was in casting mere dozens of spells...Okay,
maybe scores of spells.
To Farseeker..."Did you notice that to cure your poisoning I
had to pour water into a brass goblet then swirl an enhanced
bezoar in the water and finally have you drink that water
before your poisoning was cured? Not an easy thing to do for
everyone every moment while we are fighting a wyrm."...
re Treasure
Z'leyra suggests that the faster horses get the barding, this
no one would slow the party down. If no one else takes it she
will take the chain barding, but would have someone with a
warhorse take it if they wanted it and would settle for leather
barding. Protecting the horses is a good idea.
She would also take the worthless gems for use in adding to
other jewelry she might make in the future. How the paintings
got into the cave and survived she doesn't know...anyone who
wants to teleport them out may do so, but she thinks it is too
bulky for us to carry with us.
As she was already interested in learning the flute (having a
wooden flute already) she will take the coral flute if no one
objects. Her own leather working tool set being back at the
manor and tired of 'making do' with other objects she will
also pick up the leather working tools and share them with
whoever else wants to work leather.
Z'leyra will cast Orient Self and cast Perception (EL0)
through her staff on each of the magic items, announcing to
the party what is special about each of the items. She may
want the glass plate and perhaps one of the potions.
Claw:
When she has done that she will once again attempt to find
out something about the Claw. Casting Orient Self, then
holding her staff she will bring out the Claw and cast
Soul Sight (max EL) and gaze at the Claw. Following the
gaze she will hold the Claw in her left hand and cast
shamanic Detection (max EL) through her staff. Afterwards
she puts the Claw away again.
Current events:
Z'leyra slips on her armor, puts on her helm, casts Orient
Self EL0 and grabs her staff.
As Z'leyra grabs her staff she also casts Dark Sight (EL3)
on herself.
[BTW Scott - it looks like its been awhile since the casting
speeds on the character sheet have been updated.]
GM: Ack. You say perhaps take glass plate. If you want them
you need to claim them. As to detection on claw. What
are you detecting? I mean yes its a bear claw. :)
As to Speeds like I've said before since spell ELs change
and stats change often (especially for you with all the
magic you cast) it would be futile. I figure Speed out
at run time (time of magic). Otherwise I'd be updating
speeds too much :) On the soul sight thing. As I read
it you have to see the eyes of the PERSON not item. Since
its cast on a person (and the items B-F or whatever seem
to show its a person) then can't cast on claw (a non
person). Benefit A the orientation MIGHT be given for
a item but the rest of the spell indicates its used on
people not items. Sorry.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
[New Stuff]
GM: First some Administration stuff -
* Timeline file updated on website
(I removed skill point section since no need)
* Maps Updated - New Map added
(Included a zoomed in view of the forest for more detail)
(Remember purple spot is current location)
* Food - After 33 days of travel I've removed 33 days of
food from each character. Some things of note:
1. Unali - You ran out of food about 2 weeks ago.
Farseeker and others can lend you food.
2. Strie'bog - You just ran out of rations when you
entered the forest. But home now so not a big
issue.
3. Everyone else is fine with plenty of food.
Even some for Unali/Strie'bog if needed.

fPreviously - Day of the Wyrm Encounter]
Z'leyra to Farseeker: "Did you notice that to cure your
poisoning I had to pour water into a brass goblet then swirl
an enhanced bezoar in the water and finally have you drink
that water before your poisoning was cured? Not an easy
thing to do for everyone every moment while we are fighting
a wyrm."...
Farseeker: "So you need a bigger goblet then?" [He grins]
[When treasure is slowly air lifted out by Thig and raised
to the surface by Farseeker items are quickly looked
at. The paintings are not in frames and appear to be
rolled up as if to save their condition. They are very
dusts and some have scratches from claws. They might
not sell for full value but might get something if
they are repaired by a good artist.]
GM: Aside from Z'leyra didn't get requests for Treasure.
So this is how I figure it. Unless folks choose to
claim items on their own.
Coins - All get equal shares:
GM: Unali those Katai coins interest you?
Gems: 3 Gems/3 Jewels - Worthless claimed by Z'leyra
Other Gems, Jewels and Jewelry of value if not claimed
will go into a party share once back in civilized land
to sell.
Chair: Assume no one claims this so left behind?
Paintings: Slightly damaged. Anyone claim them? If
no one does then looks like they will be left behind
They are rather bulky and would need to be specially
stored away from the weather and other things. Since
folding them up like maps would further damage them.
Other: These items if not claimed will be left (too cheap?)
1 Small Glass, value 1 CC, not broken
3 Eating Utensils, worth about 7 BB
1 Drinking Horn, value about 1 BB, Fierazi design?
1 small pitcher container (no top), 7 BB estimated value
1 Elf Manufacture Flag, worth maybe 10 CC?
2 War Mails (Dog)
GM: Strie'bog The wolf might wear one of those Dog
War mails? Want it or leave in cave?
Other: Any claims on these?
1 Broadsword
6 Arrows
1 Treasure Map - 7 GC value & language unknown
GM: Z'leyra claims the tools though as stated many
of the items are missing from the kit. She also
claims the Flute unless someone has a conflict?
Armor:
2 Leather Barding (Horse) - Weighs 15
1 Chain Barding (Horse) - Weighs 50
GM: Z'leyra which do you take? Strider was taken back
to the manor so chain wouldn't do good on current
horse. Keep in mind if you claim I'll have to take
the new encumbrance into effect. Just let me know.
GM: As stated above some items will be left in the cave
like the chair or bardings unless someone takes them.
Please let me know soon.
-------------------------------------------------------
[Z'leyra examines the unusual coral flute. It is not
unnatural to have a musical instrument made out of wood
or animal by-products it is rare for one made of coral.
Since some coins were recognized as having a Lemasan
design maybe this came from there being a island nation?
Who knows. The quality and work put into it is fascinating
to look at. Being coral the use of the flute can be
risky in itself as it could scratch hands and fingers by
sheer use of it. It is more a discussion piece it seems
than a true musical instrument.]
-------------------------------------------------------
[Eventually Z'leyra casts her Perception on the magical
items found at the cave. One potion took 2 tries as
first attempt failed. The glass plate took 3 tries
as the first two failed as well. Being low on scrolls
Thig makes notes in the dirt if needed as she relays
the information.]
- Glass Plate - Made by experienced wizard, seems to
give protection vs Kotothi. This is a transparent
glass eating plate.
- Light Crossbow - Enchanted by magician improved for
hit chance.
- Potion - created by magician, seems to cure energy point
loss. Unfournately it seems it was only created for the
owner and won't work for anyone but him. So useless to
others.
- Potion - made by Magician, gives immunity of hours to Iron.
This includes iron damage and weapons.
- Potion - created by high magician, grants protection versus
Chaos magic.
- Wand - enchanted by average magician, seems to have no powers.
GM: Any claims to these? If not they can be left in cave.
Part 1 - Stay tuned for part 2 for easier reading.
