Game Update #26 in sequence (file #72)
----------------------------------------------------------------
Admin notes: None.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
[Recap]
From Z'leyra: [Re: Actions]
Z'leyra inclines her head and says to Raban "My thanks to you.
I hope that I have not made many enemies, but a honest Blessing
is always appreciated. I notice that you appear packed for
travel...do you have any destination in mind? If you aren't in
a hurry and don't mind talking about yourself I'd like to hear
your story."
GM: Ack. Let's just say this is said in the future :) Since
its a few minutes from now in timeline.
-----------------------------
From Fremea: [Re: Actions]
Fremea does not believe he was completely alone, however he
does have to answer truthfully, so that means there is a
question unanswered, yet she does not know what that would be.
"Chion, I am unsure of what else you may need as this
information is from the past and more for Unali." (If Chion is
done, then the other assignment will start as soon as they have
teleported back)
GM: Ack.
-----------------------------
From Raban: [Re: Actions]
<Raban had better wait til his actions get caught up before
adding more. Things could change radically>
GM: Ack. Yep. When groups separate its hard to coordinate
time frames and such.
-----------------------------
From Arawn: [Re: Actions]
As Arawn assumes that Chion already left before Z'leyra had a
chance to pass his message on to the wizard he now considering
how best to avoid having his identity revealed and he will ask
Elam if the Jenson is prone to casting spells to detect the
presence of magic, especially illusions or invisibility. If
Elam says indicatates that Jenson does not and will likely let
them be after questioning at the tavern (as opposed to being
brought somewhere else) then Arawn will cast Personal Illusion
at maximum ability to disguise his face under the wrap.
If Elam doesn't know or if Jenson is likely to use magic to
uncover such deceptions then Arawn will excuse himself and let
the party know he must leave for a short while. Afterwards he
will find someplace private and then Teleport to the nearest
discreet location that he can think of and then change clothes,
use Personal Illusion to appear non-descript (and thus without a
face wrap, at least in the illusion) and proceed back toward the
area of the tavern but without entering, trying to keep out of
sight, looking busy, and near a corner or other area where he
can dip for a quick exit (teleport or other appropriate once
there if necessary) if the guards should, for some reason, target
him.
All conversations above will be kept in a low voice to avoid
being overheard by others outside of the party.
GM: Ack.

[New Stuff]
[Marqi 29, 1633TH. 1st Day of Adventure #4.
Location: Maren City, Chion's House]
[Time: 8:25am]
[Fremea stares at Kel. Could this whole thing be that
simple? A bumbling desperate assassin after revenge?
Of course it could if one had nothing to lose. This
man must have no family, no contacts, no guild or
anything else to drop into. An assassin on his own
is just a thug in some cases and their time is limited
in this plane of existence.]
Fremea: "Chion, I am unsure of what else you may need as this
information is from the past and more for Unali."
[Fremea for the first time feels weary of the situation. Maybe
Unali should be the one to question this person herself or seek
the final blow of revenge. Fremea considers her own goal of
revenge on her captors. When does the cycle of revenge end?]
Chion: "We must be more specific. Ask him; were you working alone
when you attacked Unali? What is the name of your contact in
Maren city? How did you find out about Unali?' [He will look
at the guy and ask Fremea] 'Fascination?'
[Fremea leans to Chion and whispers.]
Fremea: "No, though I can do that if needed. I rather enjoy my
natural abilities more." [Showing a crooked smirk as if she
truly enjoys what she does.]
[Fremea stands erect and begins to ask Kel the questions but
Kel interrupts and answers.]
Kel: "When I attacked her? Yes. I suppose I had some help
from the bums as a distraction. I'm sure you know those
tricks yourself. But it was me alone who attacked her.
Maren city? That's where we are?" [A slight smirk comes
on his face so Chion may have let that out or Kel is
just assuming.] "I've not been to Maren. My contacts
were all in Sivas city. How did I find out about her?
Very simple. When my associates were jailed I noticed
her talking to others. A simple bag of coins and a quick
conversation with a city guardsman gave me all I wanted.
I then learned she had been seen in the district by the
tavern. You can't walk around a city dressed in black
and looking like her and not attract some attention you
know. Same with that one with the face wrap, this one"
[He nods to Fremea] "the one with the satchel and drum
and the one with the claw necklace. All are rather
obvious to street folks. You on the other hand I've
not heard stories about in the 2 days I collected
tid bits of information. For a person of your size
compared to the local fare you seem to do well in hiding."
-----------------------
[Marqi 29, 1633TH. 1st Day of Adventure #4.
Location: Sivas, Marentia, Green Eye Tavern.
[Time: 8:25am]
[Raban finishes gathering up his instruments and heads toward
the stairs for upstairs and his room.]
[Arawn pulls up a chair and sits down across from Elam. Arawn
asks about Jensen and magic. Elam rubs his five o'clock
shadow bearded chin.]
Elam: "Hard to say. I've met him once. He personally does
not use magic. But if he has a aide or needs to do
a full blown investigation then he might bring a wizard.
He also may use Priests for the legal stuff in court.
Most would do this. If your trying to avoid being
seen or noticed your too late. You can change into
some disguise but the guards over there already have seen
you. Micah used ...well he made them forget some things
but that was a limited thing. They still likely know
of you and your original appearance. Also that you were
here they'd report that stuff to Jensen. Fleeing or
avoiding contact might cause more problems. Your best
bet is to just unwrap and answer his questions and he'll
leave you alone. Leave it on or the guards tell them
their view then he'll get suspicious. I've been
around enough of these guards to know they just want
to go in, investigate and be home to bed the wife at
sunset. Its early morning so that sunset is quite
a long time. But if they investigate and get it over
they'll leave by lunch or sooner. Get my drift? They
don't want trouble. That's why I'm here and Micah hopes
I can help in that area."
[Arawn considers his options, illusion, fleeing, disguise or
just being open.]
[Z'leyra hears Arawn's whisper and hopes Arawn is not
planning an escape. She still is unsure why he wishes
to wear a face wrap in a city where no one else does.
Its a obvious target and few women may wear it but
its rare. Not like these folks have seen Elves before.
Jordi has been in this tavern before and didn't wear
a face wrap. Maybe its that personality of being offspring
of a god. Then again Z'leyra looks over to Unali even
she has worn a cowl on occasion to hide her face.]
Actions? Comments?
Next update...Monday..
GM: Chion I didn't get the above dialogue. I only got it
when Tobie CCed the email to me to you. Thanks Tobie
for the CCed email.
GM: Arawn - What option do you take? Risk magic or not?
Chion/Fremea - Any more questions?
GM: Here is next week's agenda. I have to go into work on
my day off (Tuesday) for some special software setup
we've programmed. I will likely work Tuesday and
take off Thursday (my normal work day). So days off
will be Wed/Thurs. This means that update for Monday
will be an early night. For Thursday I'll have 2 good
days to work on it so could be a lengthy one. The
week after next will be cruise and I'll be gone for
2 update sessions. So if Chion/Fremea wish to do something
with prisoner and return back to the tavern I can forward
the scenes fast enough and deliver Chion's message and
then get to the real adventure introduction :) But
if they have more questions or actions it will be the
following week I get back or later. As soon as I get
actions from Fremea/Chion I can rig up an update like
I did one this Wednesday. Other actions aren't required
for this period as its hold time for the tavern pretty
much till time catches up. But again I don't want to
rush the interrogation as its fun too. :)
