Game Update #185 in sequence (file #1266)
----------------------------------------------------------------
Admin Notes: None.

[Recap]
From Will: [Re: Chaos]
YEA!! I love surprises... for the other guy that is.
GM: Ack.
From Arawn: ]Re: Actions]
Taking in the numbers of the various teams Arawn spoke up after
Farseeker was done.
"I would prefer to help the prisoners but are you comfortable...
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Regardless of which group he ends up with Arawn will offer a
Battle Mind spell to the group. He can add two to the Battlemind.
If anyone would like to be included please let me know.
Also, just before the group teleports out he'll discuss
positioning and strikes with the members of his group so
that when the pop in from the teleport that they will
automatically be in position to flank and coordinate strikes
in the (hopefully) surprise phase.
GM: Ack.
From Will: [Re: Actions]
Remind me again you have to remain within a certain distance
for it to remain in effect. So probably unless we were in the
same group it wouldn't be effective.
GM: Ack.
From Arawn: [Re: Battle mind]
Yes, right now the radius is 60 feet but since we'll be scattered
out a bit you're right, it probably will only be handy if you're
in Arawn's group
GM: Ack.

[New Stuff]
[Augado 10th, 1634TH]
[Location: Middle Katai Plains]
[ Mountains west of Pamau]
[Time: 1:22:03 pm]
Taking in the numbers of the various teams Arawn spoke up after
Farseeker was done. "I would prefer to help the prisoners but are
you comfortable with just the four of you holding the front? I
will join you there if you need the support."
Farseeker shrugs, "this is why you're in the second group."
Arawn offers a Battle Mind spell to the group he is in. But it
seems no one is interested. Lin just looks confused by the whole
subject and hesitant.
Arawn suggests tactics for the group before teleporting.
Caladan nods, "plans are good up to a point. Then it all
breaks down. But if we go back to back we can do good in
covering up each one's backs."
Arawn casts Battle Mind upon himself in hopes it might give him
an edge. He wonders why folks don't want a easy bonus to their
fighting. He can understand Captain Lin but the other veterans?
Fremea can notice a bit of an orange aura around him now.
Hoping that the Armor spell will add him, Arawn casts a decent
Armor spell upon himself. Upon casting the spell, Fremea can
see a green hue around his scale male. It grows with magical
light to her eyes. Arawn smiles and knows the spell is active.
Now he has better armor than plate and almost as good as a banded
shield. Course he knows odd things happen. One can still die
if done in some strange fashion.
While Arawn does his own spells, Fremea warns the others she
will teleport above them. She will use a concealing mist to block
view from herself. But it should be well over their head so they
can still see. She then casts the spell just before the teleports
begin.
Strie'bog, Will and Chion then teleport their groups in one
organized group to their designated spots.
-----------------
[Time: 1:25:03 pm - Turn 1: Phase 1]
Fremea appears above the group below about 20 feet giving the
mist to cover her position but high enough not to block the
vision of those below. The arrow flies from her elven bow and
hits the Shaper in the right chest doing 10 points of damage.
Near the main entrance Strie'bog raises his bow and fires at
the Voxyen, the multi-legged animal beast. The arrow impacts
onto the ground missing.
Raban lunges forward toward the Shaper. He knows the Orb has
to be destroyed. But being at first sight of the Shaper he
doesn't have time to style his initial attack. He lunges for
her back and tries to swing at her head but hits her in the
right shoulder doing a massive 12 point blow. The Orb on that
shoulder seems to be still in place as if connected by some
strange way to her shoulder.
Unali from the entrance moves toward Vong #1 and draws her
daggers. The magical dagger hits the Warrior in the neck doing
11 points of severe damage. The normal dagger hits the Vong
in the right chest doing a light 1 point of damage only.
Farseeker charges toward Vong #2 nearby and swings his great
sword doing 22 points to the Vong's neck. It is such a massive
blow to the neck the sword slices off half of the Vong's head
off and he falls dead from the extra damage.
Chion charges toward Vong #3 guarding the prisoner area. He
swings his sai but fails to strike the warrior.
Back at the entrance, Ben'dar glances to the side and sees
Farseeker decapitate one Vong. Turning forward he sees Unali
in combat with another. So Ben'dar charges the Voxyen and
impales the spear onto the ugly dog-beast. The spear hits
the creature in the right chest and does a massive blow killing
the beast instantly.
Arawn is eager to help those in what might be the prisoner areas
so charges forward to help Chion against Vong #3. Arawn thrusts
his magical sword but fails to hit.
Kell now moves forward to help Arawn and Chion. Flanking Chion
on his right the trader stabs his magical spear at the surprised
warrior and does 3 points in a minor wound to his left chest.
Captain Lin sees the others in battle near Chion and decides
to move north and east toward the Shaper and Outcasts.
Now all the Vong react at the same time.
Vong #1 pulls up his amphistaff and swings at Unali but
fails to make contact.
Vong #3 turns slightly to Arawn and thrusts his amphistaff but
fails to make contact.
Vong #4 and #5 see action at the entrance and move in that
direction.
Vong #6 and #7 do not see what is going on at this point as
they are looking toward the south-west.
Vong #8, 9 and 10 see the sudden sight of the Mist in the
north and notice enemy appear. They quickly move toward the
direction of the Shaper under attack in the north.
Vong #11 sees the Shaper near Fremea's group under attack a
pulls up his amphistaff and charges toward that direction.
Vong #12 sees his Shaper under attack and picks a random target.
He charges Zhou and swings his amphistaff but fails to strike.
Vong #13 near the second Voxyen notices the mist and is unsure
what to do at this time. He yanks the animal beast's leash
and tries to figure out his next move.
Vong #14 and #15 at the top north section of the cave do not
notice anything at this point so stand in position.
Vong #16 sees Ben'dar kill the first Voxyen and charges forward
to attack this new threat from out of the blue.
Z'leyra passes Arawn to enter the first prisoner area to see
what threats await there.
Caladan moves behind Lin to help attack the nearby Shaper in
the distance.
Kiet pulls back a bit too close to the Vong #12 and tries
to place himself to protect Zhou.
Will and turns to attack the Shaper Raban is trying to subdue.
He thrusts his Tulwar and hits for a minor 4 point wound in her
left lower abdomen below her ribs.
Now the Shapers all react at the same time.
Shaper #1 finds herself attacked by a arrow, Raban and now
Will. She realize her situation is desperate. It would take
time to provoke the Orb. But she can at least take one with
her. She draws her hidden coufee and tries to thrust backward
onto Raban's face but fails to make contact in the wild swing.
Shaper #2 south of the entrance notices the sudden attack.
She draws her coufee from her dress gown and considers her
options.
Shaper #3 in the south end of the pit doesn't notice anything
a miss yet as she is staring at the pit.
Shaper #4 sees Lin and Caladan charges. She pulls out a item
from her robe-gown and with her left hand opens a bag to her
belt. She orders a few orders to the two outcasts near her.
The only remaining Voxyen pulls at his leash as he senses
strange things going on. It barks and scratches at the dirt
ground eager to do something but his master pulls him back.
Outcast #1 in the south is moving toward the spot the party
used to hide where Lin's friend was found. He seems to regard
the dark spot as something to investigate.
Outcasts #2 and #3 listen to the Shaper. They are dismayed
at the Shaper's order to shield her. They are confused by
this as they are unarmed and have no armor. What can they
do? Yet their role in society is defined. They must obey or
suffer.
Human near the Shaper south of the entrance is hopeful that
this sudden event will save him and the others. But he knows
the Shaper is dangerous. He remains still for now.
Human #2, #3 and #4 suddenly see the Shaper under attack by
a giant and a man in leathers. They stop their movement and
are a bit dazed by the action. All three are unsure what to do
at this point.
Finally Zhou swings his sword at the attacking Warrior and
hits but doesn't penetrate his thick crab armor. He is a bit
annoyed that Kiet is trying to protect him again.
Actions? Comments?
Next Update....Friday...
GM: Group 1 - Farseeker, Strie'bog, Unali, Ben'dar
to Entrance
Group 2 - Chion, Kell, Z'leyra, Lin, Caladan, Arawn
to prisoner area
Group 3 - Fremea, Kiet, Will, Zhou, Raban - to Kill shaper
GM: Only 1 phase. This one took 2.5 hours. Didn't have time
to phase 2. Most of it was prep work and chart setup. But
once that is done should get faster. Remember, unless you
state more specific actions I'll assume some default weapons
and actions. Targets will be random to attack. Will work
on phase 2 maybe if time phase Wednesday and/or Thursday.
GM: It is that time again - Vacation time. While I will not have
as much as would due to hospital stay I will have just about
every Thursday off so giving me a 3 day week (Tue-Thur).
This will give me a couple extra hours to work on a update
Wednesday night if I can. But still early bed night on Thursday
so will try to get updates out if able.
GM: Map should be updated. But keep in mind some symbols may be
duplicated. I'll try to keep position coordinates accurate
so you can figure things out. As always use the web to view
the map that may mess up in email due to tabs. If questions
let me know.
GM: Will do experience chart updates when I can and update it
on the website. Right now the spells are updated on the
site but the above combats yet.
