GM: Ack.
From Will: [Re: Actions]
Here is where the damage was taken
[pnpgm] Game Update #188 - File #1273 - T2: Ph 1 Pit combat
Vong #8 stabs Will in the middle right ribs and does 6 points
of additional damage. The buckskin armor takes damage and
destroys it. His Ring mail though backup is still in tact
for now. Will realizes now he is seriously wounded.
GM: Ack. Wow. You did the homework. It doesn't mention the
behind scenes damage in total though. I can't recall
the exact details now. But this is basically how such
a thing happens. Armor A/B. X damage. Let's say A\3
and B\1 AV. Damage is 10. So A takes 3 off damage to 7.
But A takes the full 10 initially so x5 so -1 to AV2.
Armor B takes 1 from the 7 and passes the 6 to body. Which
is the final damage of 6. Armor B would also be -1 to 0
and destroyed due to the x5 rule. So while one is
destroyed other is not. Of course one can argue which
armor is primary and such. Some wear simple leathers but
wear metal armor below that to show they aren't as well
defended. But a guard might wear chain and maybe in another
jerkin under it. To me it makes more sense to get rid of the
bucksin as its easy to replace and buy compared to the Ring.
But since you did get the homework done I can listen to what
you want done. I can reverse it and destroy the Ring but
can't recall if the full damage was also enough to destroy
the leather. Since I can't get that info now I'll just
get the buckskin back and get rid of the Ring if need be.
I do think one has to be destroyed due to the massive
damage that had to have happened. Simple math there.

[New Stuff]
[Augado 10th, 1634TH]
[Location: Middle Katai Plains]
[ Mountains west of Pamau]
[Time: 1:27 pm - 1:45 pm]
Arawn seemed to ponder Caladan's words for a moment before
replying. "You're right. Bonding might be effective and efficient
but if it does alert the Brain then all is lost. It might not be
worth the risk at the moment. But we still need to free the
people and quickly. I'll hold the strap for now just in case but
magic might be the safest and fastest option." An idea
suddenly seemed to hit him and he turned his head in Chion's
direction.
"Chion, I have something that might be able to free the
prisoners and a few other ideas as backup but in case they
don't work or somehow aggravate the Vong construct would you
be up for tagging along, maybe teleporting them free just in
case things go poorly?"-
Chion crosses his arms across his chest in thought. "Usually
teleport includes the things they are wearing or holding. But
then again if he Embrace creature thing has normal Vong high
resistance it will not be teleported. It could be tricky with
just one person much less three. We don't know if they have
some communal mind so if one Embrace finds one being affected
it might tell the others to kill the other two. It would be
great concentration and skill." He resists the urge to smirk
in light of the danger. "But yes I can try."
Caladan raises a arm to get attention of Arawn, "I could help
there as well. I could try to get them to fall asleep. If not
to endure the possible pain that could happen but to avoid being
suddenly teleported by a evil oversized man."
Realizing the time it would take to properly search the
Shapers he spoke to the party and Captain Lin. "Would someone
mind searching the Shapers for any items they might carry?
Especially the orange pills we found earlier. It may be the
only chance these people have of removing the coral implants
in their bodies and living some semblance of a normal life."
Raban considers the task but knows flying about in the
cave with frightened magicphobic people will not be wise.
Zhou looks to Kiet and Strie'bog. "Why not one take this
side the other the east side. It will speed up things a bit
rather than one person running around. Plus each has some
magic knowledge so can figure out what they may find."
Strie'bog pushes Kiet forward to take one side of the cave
before he can protest. Zhou gives a sigh of relief that
Kiet won't bother him for at least a few minutes.
[Time: 1:45 pm]
As Strie'bog and Kiet head to find the Shaper bodies,
the final work on the prisoners come to an end. Z'leyra
had to use a bunch of healing wraps but should have enough
for the future. Unless Raban needs to be wrapped like a
mummy.
Ben'dar leans to against the rock wall bored that the group
isn't killing more Vong. Suddenly the Vong door opens and
a Warrior enters. Striding through with spiked boots the
warrior suddenly notices the prisoners, dead Vong about and
the group some distance away. He begins to turn to
the door again and raises his amphistaff. But Ben'dar
is behind him and impales him in the back with his magical
spear. After the Vong falls to the ground, Ben'dar does
one final push with his spear to kill him.
Farseeker looks over toward the door's direction some 100
feet away. "Remind me not to annoy Ben'dar. But it seems
more could come as well. We need to get going soon before
others come."
Actions? Comments?
Next Update....Friday?
GM: Small update. Update on computer stuff. Did major
cleanup on room today. While this isn't newsworthy,
it is as not been cleaned in some places in over a
decade. Due to clutter. Old computer (this one on
now) has been moved to spare desk. New one will be
installed Wednesday afternoon. Still got a bit
of cleaning to do for it. I work Turkey day so will
be possibly side tracked for update. But we shall see.
Odds are if I'm messing with new computer I may be
busy with it. I have probably 2-3 weeks to install
old software to new stuff and get new software updated
like ICQ and such. So unless tons of good posts come
in I'll let folks get to old stuff first. Then I will
try to work on update next week if possible. But things
could change and I could still work on a fast one for
Friday if I'm up to it. Still have many things to settle
which I covered in the last update. I will keep netzero
till 1/1 by then I should be switched to Comcast email
so will need to get update to lists and all that jazz
which happens with new emails. Probably couple weeks
will need folks to post to the new email address once
I get that setup. This is a small update due to new
computer (keyboard) is in different place used to with
different chair. Gotta get used to working here.
GM: Arawn so what is the plan? Sapphire? You have a good
set of actions but need to know what order as they
have changed. With the teleport above I'm unsure
the order you want things done.
GM: Happy Thanksgiving to all in the USA!
