[Recap]
From Fremea: [Re: Actions]
Fremea quickly realizes that the UFO is coming back at her. She
also knows that she will not survive another hit. She quickly
casts insubstantial (EL0 for 1 phase casting) and hopes that
the fire can not harm her. She will fly towards the UFO then
and see what this thing is a bit better. If it is moving too
fast for her to fly to (meaning it has past her and is not
coming back) she will then cast teleport (EL0) to get to it.
GM: Ack. Good action. But since your hurt I'll give you the
benefit. Above is open for evil GMs. Up close could mean
right in front of it and at the grey spot or the fire holes.
So if you want to clarify that let me know. The description
was given previously and at this close range now you can
see as much detail as you can now. Flyer is faster by
1 or 2 PMR depending on phase. Where do you want to teleport
to in relation to the object? Keep in mind magic physics.
Go inside a object with no mass is left behind when it zooms
past in space like Will was. :)
From Will: [Re: Actions]
> he finds himself inside the barn and at the moment not able
Arawn don't you know this is no time to cover your eyes?
GM: Ack. Well in fact instinct would say yes. For one thing
the dust, dirt, wood pieces could blind him for a few
phases. By shutting his eyes and covering them he might
be able to see next phase rather than go blind. Also
in thinking of it and the angle the sun would be just
shining in at that precise angle (more or less). So
being sun-shy and suddenly staring at it.
From Ben'dar: [Re: Actions]
Ben'Dar quickly swerves to place himself and Tef'wo in between
the UFO and Fremea. He will adjust his position if the UFO moves
so that he stays in front of Fremea. Meanwhile he continues
firing arrows, aiming for different spots to try to defeat its
strange magic.
GM: Ack. Brave guy. Good guy. Well let's see how you've
acquainted there. I hope you take the piss. :) UK slang
version not american. See if you know what that means. :)
From Arawn: [Re: Actions]
It's like a horror movie. Maybe if I close my eyes they won't
see me...
GM: Ack. Actually that's a line from one of those Scary Movie
movies I think?
From Kiet: [Re: Actions]
I thought he was just playing peek-a-boo...
GM: Ack.
From Kell: [Re: Actions]
Kell slows his horse again, casting Detection [max EL] for any
beings waiting to ambush. He also extends his senses as much
as he can, and looks around all directions for things other than
the UFO and barn combat.
[Horror Movie, sweet. Just don't go off alone, knowing it is
completely safe. The axe-weilding maniac is never, ever in the
barn! :) ]
GM: Ack. Trust me. No axe folks here. I guarantee it! You
do realize you'll only see 50 or 60 feet ahead and around
you right. Not the 1000+ feet to the barn? :) Detection
is very limited. But in talking with a certain Shaman in
ICQ I may come up with a new spell!
From Fremea: [Re: Actions]
<ok, going to see if this one goes through or not. I keep getting
bounce back messages for Scott and I don't see my posts come
through back to me, so not sure it is making it.>
Fremea quickly realizes that the UFO is coming back at her....
GM: Ack. What does the bounces say? I've been getting numerous
emails from mark almost hourly. As to the post getting out
the list will send it not right away sometimes. It may
take time. Some nights its right away some the next day.
If it doesn't go out in 24 hours then yes worry. but
generally within a few hours. I did get your post 4 times
including the above one. Sadly this post was file 666 so
hopefully that won't jinx things. :<

[New Stuff]
[Julis 26th, 1634TH]
[Location: Middle Katai Plains, Shantou Province]
[ 20 Miles south of Shantou City ]
[ Old Shantou Carnival Grounds ]
[Time: 2:27:27pm]
[TBA]
Actions? Comments?
Next Update...Monday...
GM: Map of carnival grounds updated. Keep in mind the scale.
Fremea/UFO/Ben'dar in same block. If you wish to alter
your height (Z'leyra, Fremea, Raban) let me know.
Arawn I will email you this weekend on what you will see
NEXT phase. Since your the only one to see it. I include
the barn map below so we can keep track of position.
The hex map below is rather large (240'x200'). But it
should from now on give a more exact position of where
everyone is that is fighting the UFO. I hope the hex
map fleshes out positions a tad better in more precise
details. It doesn't reflect heights just position.
The area is still too large for some to get on the map
like the Barn, Kell and Raban for now. As always if
maps mess up view online they should be aligned correctly
with no tabs or special characters inserted. I hope.
Nice thing about hex map is I can do exact movements
rather than guesswork. If you need to plan your move based
on future moves (ie teleport right in front of the UFO
to be brave) then you can give the planned coordinate.
Hope these maps help.
GM: I have been using a new system for tracking spells and
actions. I use a simple chart of time, event/spell
and the person who did it. For example
2:26:09 Battle Mind Arawn
2:26:15 Teleport Will
Then I list the time exactly those events or mainly
spells ends. That way I know what occurs when. Easier
to track. Though sadly I forgot to track mana use so
this weekend will go back in the chart and do some
stuff for that. Got good system for experience and
item (arrow) use but need to fix the mana logs.
GM: Likely will work on update Monday afternoon as only work
an hour or so that day. I need a break! So decided
to cut work schedule down this week. Reminder: If you
want a picture to view of the Vong there are 2 on the
game website.

on the map.
