Admin Notes: Part 3 of 3.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
[New Stuff]
[Ma 2nd, 1633TH. 5th Day of Adventure #4.]
* The Following are the scenes that Chion had while the party had the
tough combat. I provide it here as a gee whiz thing. Some things have
also been filled in that not even Chion has seen yet.
------- Scene 1 --------
[Outside in the hallway....]
[Chion stands against the north wall and waits. He hears muffled
speaking inside the room that seems to take 2 maybe 3 minutes.
He suddenly sees the metal man turn its head toward the right
and then toward the door. With a clank he begins to walk toward
the room he got the towels from minutes ago. Chion figures this
to be another visitor. He waits a few seconds longer and then
hears a door close out of sight. he figures the metal man has
gotten more towels. But in this case he returns with a couple
towels and a full silk bathrobe. He stomps to the door and
waits a few seconds. Chion begins to cast a quick spell in
preparation for this new visitor.]
[The metal man waits about 5 seconds then opens the door. Chion
can see a storm rage outside with sheets of rain coming down
and heavy lightning flashes. Rain begins to come into the
room from winds. the metal man doesn't even seem to flinch
at being rusted or affected. Suddenly from the darkness a figure
approaches and seems to glide into the room. Chion's mouth
falls open at what he sees. Entering is a fully nude woman.]
[The nude woman seems to be mid-20s, about 6 foot 7 and around
150-155 pounds. Body frame wise she seems to be half the
frame (muscles, shoulders, fat, etc.) of Z'leyra and Unali. But
seems to be twice the frame of Fremea. Her rose colored red
hair flows in the wind. She takes a towel from the man and
begins to dry her hair. Chion stares at the nude women to
see a body of well endowed maturity but sees no tattoos or other
odd things. He does notice something hanging down from her neck
like a necklace between her chest but at this distance it is
a bit hard to tell the details.]
Woman: "What a storm! Tell your master he should move somewhere
else to get out of this for awhile. Also his guardians seem
to be dead out there."
[Chion is trying to figure out why he can understand her and
tries to figure out what language he speaks when it suddenly
hits him. She is speaking Katai! But he has never seen this
woman before. Her eyes and face look Katai/Dark Landish but
there are thousands he has never met before.]
Woman: "Tell him I'm here. I'll dry off. Shoo. Go now!"
[She quickly dries off her body and Chion can't help but notice
how she does it. She is quite attractive, better looking than
Unali and Z'leyra. The metal man gives her the robe and she
puts it on. The metal man then moves away a foot or two
and begins to turn around toward the door. She continues to
dry off her stomach. Chion's gaping eyes stop when he hears
a bark of a command or something inside the room.]
[The female looks up and just now notices Chion. Rather she
notices another metal man standing against the wall. She
brings up the towel to dry her behind and looks confused.]
Female: "I thought there was only one of you?"
[Suddenly the door to the left opens and two men carrying swords
stand in the darkened doorway. Chion turns to the right and
hears two sets of feet around the corner where the metal man
must've got his towels in that room's direction. The female
looks to the left where Chion can't see and blushes a bit
and closes her robe and tightens the white tie. Chion then
hears a click come from somewhere to his right and then
realizes it has to be from the statue. In the second or two
all this happens the metal man begins to walk toward the
door to apparently tell the bearded man of her visit.]
GM: Your personal illusion seems to be working.

------- Scene 2 --------
[Chion takes a second or two to stare at the bold female. Her body
is tantalizing. If Raban were here he'd be gone to greet her with
open arms. A woman that in other circumstance Chion might actually
try the same. She is that alluring. When the women continues to
dry herself, Chion can't help but look her body over for markings
and other items. But only the dangled item on some type of chain
around her neck is the only thing she seems to have. She either
must be a wizard who can teleport, fly, shape change or maybe just
already lives here on some other section of the place? Chion
continues to stay to the left of the door back to the wall looking
like the other metal man just feet in front of him. Maybe if he
had seen the master of this house he could've tried to look like him.
But this was a fast risk that needed to be done. Muffles inside seem
to indicate talk is starting when someone, sounding like Ben'dar
from his voice, yells something. Seconds later it sounds like
furniture is moving and grunts are heard. Chion figures combat must
have broken out inside the room. Chion figures the visitor must be
strong based on her height. But initially he wasn't quite looking at
her arm muscles. He was looking over her chest region for amulets for
security purposes first, of course. Then she covered up with the
robe the metal man gave her.]
[Chion sees the woman doesn't blush before she covered up so figures
either she doesn't care or his illusion seems to be working. But
then she comments on that this place only should have one metal
man? Chion wonders if the gambit is good or not. Of course maybe
this place does have 2. He decides to remain still a second longer
to check what happens. Two seconds after she covers up in the
robe the door to his left opens and one guard in leather and sword
stares out into the foyer. He glances left and right at both
metal men with a confused look. Chion can't help but glance over
at the new people but with a stone face turns back to look at the
woman. He notes that she glances to Chion's right, her left, to
something and nods. Chion figures there must be a guard or more
people there.]
[Then two guards round the corner and notice the second metal man.
Both blink and look at each other. Chion figures this gambit
wouldn't work for someone who knows this place. The female places
a tower over her face and dries her face and neck and seems to
mutter a few things Chion can't quite hear.]
[Then the second click from the direction of the statue is heard.
A half second later another guard sticks his head around the corner
behind the guard to the left inside the room. The first one
to notice double metal man. He frowns but Chion doesn't see it.
He then speaks some words in a quick and mad manner. Chion
doesn't understand but when the guards raise their swords toward
him he realizes it must've been a "imposter" type warning. It
would be a guard of all people, not a smart wizard, who saw
through his illusion. Who would've thought a guard would have
a brain or the will power.]
[Then the third click from the status happens. Suddenly stone seems
to grind on stone and Chion glances left to see the statue move.
It seems to lift off the pedestal on its stone hover disk thing.
It floats up and forward about 4 feet in the air (about 7 total off
the ground). It then turns and looks at Chion. Chion grumbles
inside and figures when he cast his illusion there must've been
some ward here to detect magic and set off this statue thing. Great.]
[The female drops her wet towel to the ground and then looks right
at the second metal man, Chion in this case. She stares and smiles
and finishes her words this time a bit louder. Chion realizes
they are a magical phrase and she flicks a finger toward him. At
the same instant the stone ball in the statue's hand glows yellow.]
[Chion in that half second figures his odds. Surrounded by four
guards, 1 wizard, 1 metal man and 1 magical statue defense thing.
Simple. But it would take at least 6 seconds to get the staff to
trap the men. Then the thought ends...]
[A yellow ball of energy shoots out from the statue's stone/glowing
ball and heads toward Chion. It splashes against Chion but doesn't
seem to do anything that Chion can detect. At the same time the
female casts her spell toward Chion. Chion figures her comment
about two metal man convinced her the other one is fake. Then
Chion recalls when she touched the man to get the robe she tapped
the hand of the metal man as if testing it for solidness? The
spell goes off and Chion seems to recognize the words based on
past experience from other mages as a Paralysis spell. But
for some reason she suddenly winces in pain and her eyes roll up
into her head. She falls to the ground with a thud. Chion
smiles and taps his magical belt. It helps to have a belt that
can help defend against some magic.]
[Now chion grins knowing the odds are better without the female
around. But now its just the 4 guards and this statue thing and
the metal man...]

------- Scene 3 --------
[Chion smiles wickedly. The naked woman must've failed big time with
her spell and it backfired. Either a very unlucky woman or this place
has purifications that prevent spells, or both. Chion finds the lack
of effect from the statue's magic good but is unsure if his
protections helped or his natural magic defnese did? Chion considers
his actions. Just the four guards and the statue remains. So
far the statue isn't much a threat. He considers grappling the
nearby guard to his side. If he takes out the one that can see
through his illusion that would stop the others. But he also knows
that the one has likely warned the others. So it is a matter of
time before they disbelieve the illusion. He also considers this
place might have a cellar for teleport or insubstatial movement.
But if not it could be quite a fall. Of course the fall wouldn't
kill him the sudden stop at the end might. Chion also considers
the merit of taking hostages.]
[In the split second of all these thoughts he comes up with a plan.
Chion begins to build magical energy and begins to speak in Marentian
the magical spell intended. But in order to cast it will take a
few more seconds than planned. In that time the one guard who
sees him will get another attack. Chion prepares though and brings
up his staff for defense. The guard on cue approaches and swings
his sword but fails to strike. All the while chion cna hear muffled
voices from inside the room. It sounds like Arawn speaking again.
The statue continues to hover and stare with his hard stone blank
eyes. The left hand waves the stone wand and the right hand with
the stone "ball" begins to glow again but not quite solid yellow
a dull yellow as if it is preparing to try again.]
[Chion continues to cast his spell getting a bit louder. He raises
a finger toward the unconscious woman and then completes the spell.
Chion disappears and appears where his memory holds strong in
the forest 9 miles down. He teleported above the ground about 2
feet to prevent problems and merging with things. He lands
easily with his feet on the ground and the woman tumbles past
a bush and onto her side. The robe comes open and rain starts
to drip on her nude chest.]
[Chion looks around and sees forest and mist from the hard rain.
In the clearing where he is the rain is intense but he finally
sees the camp Sven choose to the left. Through the foggy rain
mist he choose well as rain seems less there from the trees.
A tent seems to be set up for Sven and the hroses are huddled
up together. Chion yells for Sven. Chion yells again and then
Sven pulls his head out from the tent. In the howl of the wind
and rain Chion yells to the camp about 50 feet away.]
Chion: "Sven, I'm Chion, hold onto her, things are going badly!"
[Sven looks for a second then crawls out of the tent. He grabs
his weapons and then begins to run toward Chion.]
[Chion begins to cast a levitate spell, insubantial spell. As
Chion floats up and becomes insubstantial Sven makes it to his
area. Sven looks at the metal man not sure but cuaiously comes
near the woman.]
Sven: "Chion?"
[Sven looks at the half naked woman in the rob with a now glistening
body from the rain and raises an eyebrow.]
Sven: "A present for me?"
[Chion smiles as he finishes the teleport spell and hopes Sven doesn't
take advantage of the situation. Don't know how long Sven has
been away from home and more native girls.]
[Chion reappears in the castle foyer again. He glances around and
sees the four guards, metal man and statue are now gone. The
door is open and Chion grumbles. He must have made them enter
the room when he left. He hopes they didn't sway the tide of
battle inside.]
[Teleported back in his original position to the right of the
door Chion notices noise in the room. Yelling and shouting.
Something impacts on the wall behind him that sounds like lightning
hit the wall. Then a slam of something large and heavy into a wall
causes crumbling noises. Then something about Kiet being hurt
and needing help.]
[Chion glances to the right and notices Unali is just 2 feet away
on the other side of the door. She is holding a now empty
sling in her hand and it is pointing into the room. Chion notices
her expression change into utter surprise. Then anger. Then
Chion realizes she must not see through his illusion of being
another metal man.]
[A couple seconds later Chion's insubstantial spell and levitate
spell ends. Chion in Metal Man illusion drops to the ground with
a clank of boots and equipment shaking.]
