[Recap]
From Kiet: [Re: Actions]
Kiet will tend to work with the ropes...use a rope to bind them,
then use his skills to kill them while they are helpless.
"Dammit Jim, I'm a mage, not a swordsman!"
GM: Ack. no mention of that being OOC so will include in text. :)
From Arawn: [Re: Actions]
OOC: Sorry for not responding to Will's post earlier. I've been
juggling a few things lately so haven't been checking emails as
frequently as I normally do.
OOC: Scott, in reply to the question regarding Invisibility
spells and Mana Sensing, would that detect someone who's
invisible and, if so, about how well would it be able to
pinpoint location?
Arawn returned Farseeker's gaze with a stoic expression,
remaining silent before turning to respond to Will's question."
I do," he replied. "All ill-fitting for such a deep cave. ....
GM: Ack. Same with busy stuff on this new computer workup. As to
Inviso. Well its sensed like a mana blob. As if you are
looking out a courtyard of bushes. You sense the mana from the
lifeforce of the plants. You get a general sense of that.
But so do bees or birds or even non-mana sensors as they
can sense the bushes by the noise and deduction. So in a
round about way this depends. Its mainly on the environment
around. If a inviso is hidden in a forest full of mega
mana "stuff" then it would be blended in. But a guy in
a hallway with nothing but painted walls and ground with
little influence like a mana free zone like in Pavassa then
no it wouldn't be easy to track it. For desert where the
heat clouds the senses that same blob migth be like a heat
blob and confused with a possible mana blob. So it depends.
But if a person is hanging on a rope 20 fee off the ground and
the nearest mana source is like a tree 30 feet away and he's
up above the ground and ceiling 50 feet then it would be easy
to find the blob. Because the blob isn't blinded or confused.
Skill and EL and other factors add in. A natural mana sensors
would have easier time than one that uses a mana spell.

[New Stuff]
[Augado 10th, 1634TH]
[Location: Middle Katai Plains]
[ Mountains west of Pamau]
[Time: few moments earlier]
As others prepares actions for inside the cave some discuss
their tactics outloud like using bird signals.
Arawn listens to Farseeker's suggestion on tactics and the
plea about prisoners. Something comes to mind as he packs up
the map.
Arawn returned Farseeker's gaze with a stoic expression,
remaining silent before turning to respond to Will's question.
"I do," he replied. "All ill-fitting for such a deep cave. With
the current plan, however, It seems it won't be needed. Perhaps
later in the mission." He gave Will an odd look as he added,
"Maybe after this is all over I can share with you what I know.
You'd be surprised at what birds can express in a simple call.
But we can discuss that later."
Will listens to Arawn and realizes the man likes talking to
animals. First horses and Will assumes now birds. These Elf
folks are a bit odd. But Will watches Captain Lin closely as
the others talk about tactics.
Before Unali slips out of the small inner cave, Arawn pulls
her aside and whispers a few things to her. Unali nods and
then slips out of the cave.
Kiet taps his few strands of ropes on his hip and demonstrates
his intent to use the ropes. This doesn't surprise Captain Lin
as some of the best stealth guards use ropes. But then Kiet
speaks out loud, "Dammit Jim, I'm a mage, not a swordsman!"
This makes everyone go silent instantly. Some take it as a
joke but then they don't know who Jim is. But as the others
just take it as a joke, one does not.
Captain Lin raises his sword faster than Kiet can even see it
slip from his scabbard. The man is quick. The sword is lowered
to Kiet's chest and the Captain scowls.
Zhou stammers for a few seconds. These fools are really wanting
to kill Lin now or lose his help from his friends. Zhou may not
be skilled in some things but he is trained in some words. "He
was teasing!" He waves his hands in hopes Kiet isn't killed in
the instant it could take to pierce his skin. Some grab their
own weapons and prepare to kill but Lin seems so fast he could
kill Kiet before Lin is killed. Zhou tries to continue, "he
is from Lemasa. My house hired him as a servant. They may not
be so bright as Katai folks here. But in his land those vile
mages are around and its like a slur to them."
Kiet stares at the shiny sword at his chest and considers using
his ropes or even trying a spell. But he could be dead before
that happened. Kiet looks up to Captain Lin's dark eyes and
stares back.
Captain Lin glances back at Zhou briefly and then back at Kiet.
"We have such slurs here. But we don't do such things in mixed
company. Especially those below our station." Captain Lin
steps back and lowers his sword. He moves toward the slit after
the first few leave from the cave. But this time he watches
his back.
Zhou glares back at Kiet and rushes after Captain Lin in hopes
to calm things down. Will glances at Kiet with an amused look.
But now Will has even more need to watch the Captain. Kell is
already outside so missed the fun. But Will and Kiet now realize
how the man likely will react. They realize that he would likely
fight back. That might be foolish but the skilled fight might
just be better than he looks and could take one or two with him
before he is killed.

the spells. If need check website next week.

level and 90 Casting ability it will be 100 as top figure. Then
