[Recap]
From Ben'dar: [Re: Actions]
Suddenly Ben'Dar comes crashing down through the skylight,
showering the room with broken glass. He lands atop the table
and immediately leaps into the air, twisting as he flips. He
lands on his feet directly in front of the woman holding
Strie'bog hostage, and with a loud "Ha hah!" he jabs his
dagger through her eye.
OK, well.... Seriously:
Ben'Dar will remain outside nursing his and Tef'wo's wounds
and standing guard. If he hears the sounds of fighting inside,
he will pick up his pike and charge in.
If he sees any remaining enemies outside, he'll move (on foot)
to attack. If they are fleeing on horseback, he'll leap onto
one of the other (uninjured) horses and pursue.
GM: Ack. Super Barbarian to the rescue eh? With claws, fangs
and headdress in leathers. A uniform!
-------------------------------
From Z'leyra: [Re: Actions]
As Z'leyra follows the Astral Web with a Sleep Mist spell she
chooses to do the Sleep Mist in the Tongue of the Sidh to get
it to EL1 (and still thru the staff). She changes facing enough
so that she can see the one with the scimitar out of the corner
of her eye.
GM: Ack. Changed actions in ICQ.
-------------------------------
From Arawn: [Re: Actions]
Arawn stood in the doorway, scimitar in hand, and carefully
studied the scene. He would have warned Strie'bog to not rush
in, that it would likely be a trap, but the Bard had moved to
quickly. The situation looked grim and their foes seemed
desperate. Still, the fact that Strie'bog's mother had not
been used a shield, that he had been lured in himself, made
him wonder as to what exactly was going on. Was she here? Had
they somehow transfered her magical essence into someone or
something in the room, to lure others here? Or had they used
some magic that eluded Revelation? Perhaps a Transformation
spell? Indeed, it was a fear that she may even have been one
of the warriors present, her mind deluded and her form changed.
Then again, it could be something as simple as hiding her
beneath the covers of the table.
He listened to the words spoken in Vassa, aware that Strie'bog
was the only other one present who could understand the words.
As he translated he carefully watched Boyzdar, watching to see
if the wolf gave any clue he was detecting the scent of the
Green Lady.
"The man, he wants us to let him and the woman go. If we do
then they will let Strie'bog live. If we do not comply then
he says that Strie'bog's mother will be killed."
As he waited to see how the event would unfold and what the
others would do and say he allowed his finely tuned alfar
senses, combined with a strong talent for detecting hidden
things, to carefully screen the room.
GM: Ack.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
[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 - 10:09am]
Turn 3: Phase 2
[Mana Allocation] -
[Chion and Z'leyra allocate mana essence.]
[Missile Fire ]
[The man at the table sees Chion's mouth move and
can barely hear ghostly words. His eyes dart to
Z'leyra who also speaks. It is clear from seeing
both levitate off the ground they are not normal
fighters but wizards. He knows a spell is about
to be cast. He quickly grabs the bow up and with
a prepared arrow raises it at Z'leyra and fires.
he arrow hits dead center in her back but her
luck ring shifts the blow from a severe hit to
a regular hit from a 10 point hit to a 8 point hit
as the arrow penetrates her magical armor doing 5
points of damage. Z'leyra arches back as the arrow
hits her in the back.]
[Magic Effect ] -
[Z'leyra's concentration is broken due to the damage
and the spell sequence is broken so no spell. But
she suddenly falls the few inches to the ground as
her levitate spell ends and her feet hit the ground.]
[Chion casts the dispel spell to end his insubstantial
spell he just cast. He suddenly fades into full form
but still floats a few inches from the ground.]
[The redhead sees the wizards speak and clearly feels
desperate. She only speaks one word. "Ba'tul!" which
neither Strie'bog, Arawn or the others in the room
seem to understand...]
[Melee & Movement]-
[Corona now alone at the door to the cabin walks awkwardly
a few feet in. He looks at the room and the dead
female in the corner. He is curious why the people
are at the other door but remains in place.]
[Boyzdar glances back to Strie'bog and the redhead.
Confused as he just saw Strie'bog's mother just there?
He does a double take and whimpers in confusion. He
looks at the table and sees the candle burning then
back to the others in the room. He sniffs the air
to get a bearing on the room but the incense that
seems to have burnt recently seems to confuse him.
He knows his master is in danger but senses if he
attacks the redhead it could be worse for Strie'bog.]
[The redhead after speaking her word knows the party
is not complying. To show her hand she swipes the
neck of Strie'bog with the dagger drawing a steam
of blood. The dagger only breaks the skin and doesn't
penetrate deep or meant to kill but to show she means
business. The blood begins to drip from Strie'bog's
neck and onto the dagger and her arm as she moves the
dagger back to the center bottom of Strie'bog's neck.]
[Z'leyra satisfied the fighters are in her astral Web
twists her feet and turns to face north toward the
man and redhead. As she does she sees clearly the redhead
and now blood dripping down Strie'bog's neck. Z'leyra
looks into the eyes of the redhead who seems to mean
business in her final stand. The redhead returns her
stare with a smile.]
[Farseeker sees the redhead swipe the dagger against
Strie'bog's neck. Anger boils as he doesn't know what
she says but clearly he has to get to her through these
fighters. He swings his great sword at #2 but for
some reason misses.]
[Ben'dar tends to Tef'wo outside. Aside from the crackle
of the fire and snorts from the boar around the corner
on the west wall he hears nothing. Its actually rather
spooky. He finishes taking off the barding to fully examine
the horse's damage.]
[Chion now solid holds his Staff in his hand and raises it
slightly a inch higher. Its up to him it seems to
save the day again he thinks.]
[Trembyl grunts to get Arawn to move aside so he can
enter the room waiting for his turn to enter.]
[The man with the bow who quickly sheathed his scimitar
and deftly grabbed the arrow to fire at Z'leyra does
a double take to look a half second at the redhead
after hearing her speak. His face turns back around
a bit paler.]
[Arawn ignores Trembyl or doesn't seem to notice him.
He also feels more magic from this room and the
redhead. But now there is something more all around
him he can't pinpoint. He quickly translates the
words to the party as he scans the room. A shape
changer so maybe she can use her magic to change his
mother? But what? One of the fighters Farseeker
just attacked? Could she be a piece of furniture?
The wolf went to Strie'bog's side thinking it was
her. But Arawn notices the wolf now knows better.
Arawn also notices the wolf sniff the air. Good
maybe he can pick up the familiar scent of the Green
Lady and her whereabouts.]
[Strie'bog knows it would only take a second to kill
him or at least cut his throat and then bleed to
death in seconds. So he knows casting no magic
would help. He was trained by the other druids and
priests in hand to hand combat but never taught
to counter this type of situation. How could he
be so emotional and charge forward? But it was his
mother he saw and heard. No one would blame him
for that even if he died here in the next few minutes.
He could stomp on her foot and distract her but the
dagger could still cut. No good. He could use his
axe but with only one hand and in this arm lock
position it would fail likely but not before the
mortal wound. He could head butt the woman but
she might head butt back and force him to stab himself.
He stares at the others hoping they help soon.]
[Xian hears Arawn translate the words. He wonders
if he could teleport to her and take her out but
with him being visible through the Revelation ward
that seems to be here he doesn't chance it.]
--------------
Turn 3: Phase 3
[Mana Allocation] -
[Chion and Z'leyra allocate mana essence.]
[Missile Fire ]
[As before the bowman sees Z'leyra and Chion begin
to speak. Now he can hear Chion speak better as
he is solid now. His face is pale and he is clearly
nervous as he knows he could die from a spell any
second he defends himself by pulling another arrow
from his quiver and nocking it. He raises it at
the closest target Z'leyra only for self defense and
fires. The arrow flies the 4 feet quickly and hits
Z'leyra's magical buckler. The arrow bounces off
the buckler and is deflected to the west end of the room.]
[Magic Effect ] -
[Chion continues to speak the words of his spell as
he casts the lengthy spell.]
[Z'leyra changes her plans and casts Oblivion on the
Archer. Black familiar wisps of smoke like flames
surround the man. The Archer blinks out of existence
in a familiar (to the party) Oblivion spell.]
[Melee & Movement]-
[The wolf lowers his head to the ground and sniffs
like a ant eater the ground back and forth. His
ears perk up as if he picks up a scent. He raises
his head and looks in the direction of Farseker
and whimpers unsure what to do.]
[The redhead sees the man disappear in a spell. She
knows she can be next by the annoying Shaman. She
sees Chion raise what looks like a magical staff
and likely about to attack. "I warned you! One
more word. He will die!" He twists Strie'bog to
fully face south and with her now behind him as a
shield. If she disappears maybe she'll take Strie'bog
with her! Her hand shakes ever so slightly and
in a subtle way holding the dagger. Clearly showing
strain and tension. She furrows her eyebrows and
ponders her next move.]
[Farseeker knows if he can get past this guard and
charge the female he might be able to kill her.
Strie'bog might be wounded but surely Z'leyra can
heal him before he dies. He has seen several
hostage situations including Xian's brother's
hostage taking a long time ago when he took King
Maros hostage. But there wasn't a healer around
then. Now there is. Now knowing tee words he
swings his sword at the fighter and amazingly
misses again as tension seems to affect his swing.]
[Ben'dar looks up as he hears a moan or creak from
the cabin. He looks up at the sides to see if the
deer is trying to escape. No. He looks to the
roof and sees nothing on the roof. But in this cold
why is the tree sap seeming to run down the side of
the cabin like slow molasses?]
[Arawn translates the words again to the party .
Its clear she will kill him in the next second
if someone speaks. He realizes this after she
translates the words. But she must understand
the Elf must speak Vassa as there are Elves in
the forest and let him speak to translate the
words to the outsiders? He looks to the room
and notices the wolf sniffing the ground. He
must've picked up a scent. He then scans the
room some more...look there....something peeks
his interest.]
[Strie'bog feels his chest getting wet from his own
blood. He knows he was here to help his mother.
But to die before knowing she was safe. Should
he order the others to back off? He glances to
the table and sees the candle but its out of reach.
there is a oil lantern maybe within reach lit. But
if he moved toward it she would only need to push
up with her dagger. As he scans the table he notices
something interesting. He looks around the room
quickly with his eyes not able to move his head.
The walls...the floor..the ceiling...interesting.]
[Thig looks around hearing the cabin seeming to moan.
He perks his ears trying to figure out what is
going on now.]
[Corona hears creaking from the roof and looks up.
He is startled when a drip of log sap lands near
him a couple feet away.]
[Those in the cabin suddenly feel warmer. As if
a warm breeze moves through the cabin...]
Actions? Comments?

Chion - The staff spell will take 2 more phases

the spell words to taunt the female. :)
Strie'bog - Email coming.
Unali - Email coming.
