GM: Ack. Good thing I check the Archives didn't get this post in

think.

[New Stuff]
[Augado 10th, 1634TH]
[Location: Middle Katai Plains]
[ Mountains west of Pamau]
[Time: 3:00:00pm]
As Raban is flying upwards with Z'leyra in his arms the
poltergeist continues it's assault. At least 5 more objects
hit Z'leyra including stone, rocks and occasional metal from
some unknown area. But all are protected except for one large
rock that slams into her left breast punching through her
chainmail protection doing 1 point of additional damage to
the unconscious shaman. Raban tries to protect her face mostly
but even his large tree like arms can't protect her entire body.
-------
[Time: 3:02:30pm]
Before Lin can rush to kill Will, Caladan steps in front
of him. "He may be a weird guy but it seems the Brain was
under control. Look at him." He points to the dazed
woodsman. "He seems normal now...whatever that is."
Lin lowers his sword but scowls. "What if it can hear us?"
As Kell runs up the stairs he forgets about the elementals
and realizes he may lose control of it soon. But is that
a great loss? Maybe it will destroy more Vong in the next
cave.
Finally as Fremea and Arawn check the wounded two Shamans,
Kell and Kiet reach the same level as the party. Kiet is
a bit out of air not from the exercise but from the recent
events. Finally he calms down and looks to Lin then Unali.
For a few seconds he could hear Lin's voice echo the story
he relayed down the stairs. It seems the Vong building
material seems to allow the noise to carry. Kiet points to
the general location of the Brain cave down below.
"I used Chion's staff to call the High Elder. He sent his
familiar to the cave with the Brain and it set up a Thalos field
up there... the Brain cannot send it's energies past the field
or Kell and I wouldn't be here to tell the tale. Anyway, it's
only going to last for another 30 minutes, so we need to finish
this fast."
"Kill the brain in less than 30 minutes or first kill the
thing that can bring down the moon before the Field is gone.
Until the field dissipates, the Brain can't talk to the moon-
pulling thing."
"Does anyone have any poison or Desert Powers...or even some
Chaos magics? If the Brain seems to like water, maybe like a
fish it cannot live without water and anything we can do to
deprive it is in our favor. I could cast a glamour on something
we push into the field and maybe trick the Brain into taking
it."
"And what the hell is tossing those damned rocks...?"
Lin shakes his head in dismay, he must've not seen Will
being controlled. "I saw only the image of the moon pulling
thing. It was like a starfish that was as large as a
gladiator field in Katai city. It was seen in some forest
but the outcast didn't where. It could be next door or
hundreds of miles away. Our best bet is to find the
device that control it. Then we can deal with it as
a prisoner or as a thing to kill."
During this speech more objects hit Z'leyra. At one
point a arrow from Fremea's quiver is snatched and smacked
up against Z'leyra with futile effort. Of the various objects
mostly rocks that hit Z'leyra all are blocked by her armor.
But one does hit in the stomach doing another point of damage.
Raban checks her pulse and finding it weaker. Raban speaks
to Kiet as he waves Kell over. "I detect evil around her.
She must've failed a spell badly and the gods are punishing
her. Kell give me your shield now!"
Kell may barter with a group of 20 angry men on price of
weapons in Ba'ru but to argue with a giant that could
kill him in a light tap is suicide. So Kell has no choice
but to comply, taking out his wand from it before he hands
it over to Raban. Raban then places Z'leyra in a lump around
a corner using the inner stairwell to block her on one side.
Using himself for the other. Using the shield to block her
front. Then lowering her head into his chest to block it.
This mostly leaves her back exposed.
Kiet looks to the giant holding the Healer and figures she
must be only one affected. The objects aren't even going close
to the others even Raban.
Farseeker turns to Unali. "If we have less than 30 minutes
now we need to move fast. We have it looks like 3 caves on
the other side and two above us including the one right here.
That won't give us much time to find the device. We should
move now!" He looks to Unali for the order.
Arawn checks Z'leyra but finds her pulse weak that means
she is near death. He doesn't have the skill to revive her
but he could heal her. Using a Mist spell. He recalls the
day's event. Chion would be safe as never healed. But Z'leyra
was healed at least once today. The Druid looks to Unali asking
if he should heal them both? Though the mist may take time a few
minutes. He reminds the group of the risk to Z'leyra. Not
able to ask her directly using her conscious words. He
also reminds her if the damage continues she will be dead in
a few minutes and nothing will save her.
Raban speaks up, "I'll take the risk."
Caladan holds Lin back, "see the field thing blocks the
Brain. Will is harmless."
Lin continues to scowl at Will. "I'll be watching him."

[Time: 3:03:30pm - Current]
Actions? Comments?
Next Update....Friday...
GM: A short update. Will see what actions come in. Basically
need to know on the healing. There is a clue by the way
in the text to help out. We'll move on to the next
cave regardless of actions just to keep things moving.
Those healing will be below and some like Farseeker and
Ben'dar will lead the charge up the next cave unless
orders are given to do otherwise like in the poison
example given by Kiet. As always the mana report shows
the number of healings each person has had.
GM: Kell - Still out there with the new email? Not heard
back on the dispel.
Kiet - Did you leave the Gnarish staff behind?
Unali - If no order to head up to the cave, Farseeker
will lead a charge with some of the group to help
things out.
GM: Spells active
Will - Armor Transmutation, Mind Shield
Raban - Bless (OCV)
Farseeker - Bless (OCV)
Arawn - Bless (OCV)
Unali - Mind Shield, Sending
Fremea - Mind Shield, Sending
Z'leyra - Mind Shield, Sending
* = Soon to end (next update?]. I may NOT post this
info unless I remember to do so. :)
