Game Update 248 in sequence (file #213)
----------------------------------------------------------------
Admin notes: This combat may set a PBEM record. Over 40 things
to keep track of in my movement chart :). People/Animals.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
[Recap]
From Ben'dar: [Re: Actions]
Ben'Dar's target is the nearest enemy by the campfire. (Looks
like #3 at this point, but may change if the enemy change their
positions during the charge) He'll use the momentum of the
charge to try for extra damage on the first target.
GM: Ack.
--------------------------------------------------------
From Z'leyra: [Re: Actions]
Annoyed that the enemy have stripped the invisibility from
them Z'leyra takes advantage of her high speed in levitation
and the insubstantiability to go scoot the group (in an
inverted U) north thru the wall to check out behind the wall
and then east to check out the other rooms (later coming south
thru the wall north of the lady with the bow). As she has
dropped to within inches of the floor any that wish to
disengage and become solid may, but hopefully next phase we
will not only have found and set someone to free the hostage
but will come out of the wall near the lady with the bow. We
can then get her in melee and force the two men to move
towards us as we deal with the lady with the bow.
GM: Ack.
--------------------------------------------------------
From Unali: [Re: Actions]
Unali will drawthe magical dagger and charge #4
GM: Ack.
--------------------------------------------------------
From Arawn: [Re: Actions]
Arawn will remain with the group until they request otherwise.
On the off chance that any of the enemy are capable of
attacking them while insubstantial Arawn will go on the
defensive with his weapon and buckler.
If time permits he will use Mana Sense and/or Mana Read, first
to determine what spells remain in effect on the party and then
what is present on the enemy and in the area.
GM: Ack. If you stay with Ghost Team. You can't defend yourself.
Well you can swing weapons but being ghostly they won't
be able to defend much :). As to Mana Sense and Mana Read
you'll have to become solid to cast those spells. Thus
disengage from Chion's spell.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
[New Stuff]
[Decalis 16th, 107th day since left Marentia, 42nd day of
Adventure #3 of the 1633rd year [TH].]
[Location: Pavassa Forest - Eastern Edge/On Plains]
[Time - 10:09:16am]
Turn 1: Phase 1
[Mana Allocation] - None from party
[Missile Fire ] -
-
[Trembyl having put the Arbalest down grabs the pre-loaded
Heavy Crossbow positioned on a tree limb. He quickly
aims at #9 in the distance with a narrow alley of fire
between Thig and the others. He fires knowing its
long range and the quarrel goes wildly past the man
missing him by a foot...]
[Enemy #7 grabs and loads his bow. But has no good
field of fire past those at the campfire so holds
his fire for now.]
[Hearing the alert #6 turns from his sentry station and
loads his bow. Turning he only sees Corona and the
wolf. Confused he aims and fires at the wolf anyway.
But the arrow goes to the rear of the wolf missing.]
[Guard #4 also turns and loads his bow. He sees the
Wolf and Eagle heading south east. Unsure why the
animals are here he fires on the wolf This time
the arrow impacts in the dirt a foot in front of
the wolf missing entirely.]
[Magic Effect ] -
[Z'leyra concentrates and uses her Levitate spell to
move the party north to the closed door. After 8
feet the Ghost Team enters the room. It is dimly
lit with only 1 candle on a desk. But it is clear
to Z'leyra who cast Dark Sight. Even without that
the room is obviously a bedroom. There are 3 simple
wooden planked beds with a simple box frame and
blankets on it to cushion the hard wood. Looks like
they had no time for thicker padding or didn't want
it. There is a small 4 foot wooden dressor with
a parchment on top. A desk is on the right wall
made of simple wooden planks with no real effort
in its design. Just enough to maybe write and read
from or prepare clothing. A simple stool is at the
desk as well with no back rest. From the furniture
its clear they were made quickly and not for long
duration. One might wonder if there is bugs and
termites all in this room. Z'leyra takes a quick
second to look then floats the Ghost Team to the
east wall through the desk and into a new room.
Z'leyra and Arawn with some benefit of the Sidh
can tell this looks like a storage room. There
are crates, shelves and barrels. Some barrels
are open and looks like water. There is no light
in the room so Chion and Strie'bog only see
darkness. Z'leyra heads north slightly to get
a better view of the room.]
[Melee & Movement] -
[Corona being fired on is annoyed. The strange
eagle turns from SE to NE and flies straight for
Bowmen #4. After 90 feet of flying he turns and
does a quick dip toward the bowmen. A fire red
lance bolt the party has seen before shoots from
his eyes and hits the guard directly in the back
of the top of the skull doing 3 points of damage
as it burns 30% of his hair, skin and back of his
shirt off as it smolders.]
[Suddennly from above the forest trees a lone Falcon
flies over the plains and heads straight for Corona.]
[Tef'wo charges forward. After 40 feet Farseeker makes
his mom. With a dangerous push off the saddle he goes
flying back off the horse's rear just hitting the hooves
of the horse. Tef'wo continues eastward another 40 feet.]
[Unali on her horse turns North East. She charges toward
bowmen #4 now being attacked by Corona. She draws her
magical dagger and feels no tingle. So that falcon
and guard must not have any immediate surprise. She
belts her sheath and prepares as the horse ends up
10 feet away from the bowmen.]
[The crow on the roof flies up and heads toward the
Eagle but seeing the Falcon hesitates and hovers
some distance away from the 2 birds circling in
the air waiting...]
[From 4 feet to the left of Trembyl high above the
trees a long large adult eagle flies east toward
the cabin eyeing the crow.]
[Thig heads east and passes Farseeker gaining about
10 feet height to 30 feet off the ground now.]
[Suddenly to the right of Xian a large adult deer
with huge antlers bursts from the forest and
heads east straight toward the horses.]
[Humagi #5 on the horse to the east sees Tef'wo and
Ben'dar. Unsure what to do he turns the horse and
then charges for camp. Humagi predictable to the
last always wanting glory in battle even at the
expense of a 'plan' their leaders may set.]
[Royzdar confused by a bird flying overhead not
Corona and now seeing a deer running from the
forest runs south east but goes out of the way
to avoid the deer. He may be domesticated but
he knows a Wolf versus Deer with antlers is not
a pretty site.]
[Suddenly from the forest a medium sized boar leaves
the forest and runs east into the plains. Only
Unali sees this strange sight.]
[Chion and Arawn watch the room as best they can looking
for danger. But being insubstantial they can do little
to detect, smell or sense anything.]
[Strie'bog floats with the other 3 led by Z'leyra.
He 'holds' the balalaika but not being solid knows
he can't use the spell to detect his mom. He
grows nervous.]
[Farseeker lands with a thump causing dust to swirl
around his boots and causing a impact crater a 3rd
of an inch deep. With one hand holding his Great
sword he uses it as a counter balance to his arms
and his heavy chainmail to gain a standing as if
he has practiced this move before. Who would think
training by that old horseman would pay off? With
a grunt he raises his great sword and notices the
deer feet from him. He hesitates unsure what is
going on attacking the man by the horses. He keeps
one eye on the man and the other on the deer.]
[Humagi #4 raises a hand to his skull and tries to
stop the smoking as he notices Unali coming toward
him. He hesitates confused by the attack and wound.]
[The female at the campfire begins to yell some things
Ben'dar can't understand. She waves her arms and
points at Tef'wo. Looks like giving orders.]
[Humagi #3 raises up his sword and buckler. He does
not move seeming to want to protect the female. Of
course he knows charging a horse on foot isn't too
wise as well.]
[Xian stands and grabs his Warstaff. Unsure how
a deer can growl and why a deer is even running
past him he charges out of the forest. He
eyes the horses and wonders why no one uses the
Claw to make the horses crazy or run away.]
[Humagi #9 runs past the campfire after standing.
He is also heading toward the cabin but his
path is more clear the horses.]
[Humagi #2 charges past the female and #3, past the
roaring campfire nad toward the cabin. But doesn't
seem to be heading for the cabin door.]
[Humagi #10 at the horses draws his Scimitar and
looks at the deer. But he knoes if he is near
Farseeker the deer won't have a good clear target.
So he shrugs and charges. With a wild down slash
with his scimitar he hits Farseeker's left shoulder
and slices tissue doing 6 points of damage to him.]
Turn 1: Phase 2
[Mana Allocation] - None from party
[Missile Fire ] -
[Bowman #7 fires now having a good line of sight since
#9 moved. He fires at Ben'dar and the arrow hits
Ben'dar in the lower right chest under the ribs but
bounces off the Dragon armor.]
[Bowmen #4 sees Unali and in a last ditch desperate
act reloads his bow ignoring Corona and fires
point blank at Unali. But the arrow flies to the
left way out of range.]
[Bowmen #6 100 feet away aims and fires his bow at
Unali as well. The arrow does hit her in the lower
right back but bounces off her chainmail.]
[Magic Effect ] -
[Z'leyra moves the Ghost Team toward the east wall.
The party comes into a brightly lit room with
maybe a dozen lit candles. Walking through the
wall past shelves of various items a chair in
the corner. To the left in the north is a large
wooden table with candles, parchment, ink and
various odd items that would need time to study
in just a phase. To the right are some closed
barrels and crates. It looks like some kind
of small workshop from the looks of it. There
is a redhead female behind the table who looks
up while holding a parchment. She raises an
eyebrow and stares at the ghost team. She is
leaning over the table and wearing a black gown it
seems. Clearly doesn't seem to be a hostage.
Z'leyra turns her attention to the east wall and
floats that way. But the looking takes a second
of movement and the Ghost team just enters the
wall at the end of the phase.]
[Melee & Movement]-
[The falcon flies east flying over #4, Corona and
past Unali. The falcon sees the Crow and dives
for it with claws at the ready. He tries to swipe
the smelly bird but fails to make contact.]
[Tef'wo charges the campfire. Tef'wo tries to leap
over the body of #1 but one leg its something
in the dirt and causes Tef'wo to compensate.
This also means Tef'wo slows down ever so slightly
and loses full charge momentum. When the horse
attacks the guard the attack does nothing to the
gaurd. Ben'dar swings both hands down to the guard
with his Pike and hits the buckler of the guard.
Amazingly the blow is blocked by the buckler and
doesn't break.]
GM: Could've charged you toward #9 or @3 but you
said closest to campfire :) Plus I figure
you might want to handle the female soon?
Sorry about the attack. Bad rolls :<
[Unali charges #4 with one hand on the reins and
her right on the magical dagger she stabs the
man in the upper left chest doing 7 points which
is enough to kill the man.]
GM: I wasn't sure if you were kill or subdual. If
Subdual consider a mercy kill as the head wound
would've probably killed him eventually. Let
me know if subudal in future.
[Corona sees #4 fall. He flies east and sees the
Crow in combat with the falcon. Corona heads
for the other man in the east.]
[The crow squawks as it tries to grapple with the
Falcon in mid air but can't grasp the more
agile bird.]
[The Eagle from the forest flies toward the crow and
tries to come upon its side but doesn't get to it yet.]
[Thig flies toward the campfire with his repeating
crossbow in time.]
[The deer passes Humagi #10 and Farseeker charging
toward the cabin.]
[Humagi #5 continues to charge toward Tef'wo and Ben'dar
from the far east.]
[The wolf continues to run east.]
[The boar turns SE and runs eastward.]
[Farseeker thrusts his great sword into #10's lower
right chest and impales the guard doing 16 points
of damage killing the guard.]
[Trembyl pulls his magical scimitar and leaves the
forest running east.]
[Humagi #3 swings upward his sword at Ben'dar but
the magical pike helps the blow and the man
fails to hit Ben'dar.]
[The female near Ben'dar scowls at Ben'dar and
begins to speak loudly as if to scare Ben'dar.]
[Xian moves eastward.]
[Humagi #9 runs the wall of the cabin and moves toward
the closet horse. He begins to untie the ropes.]
[Humagi #2 runs like #9 and past him to another horse
and begins to also untie the horse.]
Actions? Comments?
Next update Friday.
GM: Ghost team - remember must let me know if you wish
to have Z'leyra release you from 'contact' with
Chion - levitate away from Chion. So you become
solid. Otherwise will remain next update not solid.
GM: Ran out of time tonight to spell check. So may
be alot of rushed errors :< Gotta get to bed.
