[New Stuff]
[Augado 10th, 1634TH]
[Location: Middle Katai Plains]
[ Mountains west of Pamau]
[Time: 2:28:37 pm]
Fremea continues to fly toward the west to find one of the
good healers.
Squirt laying on Caladan's stomach wrinkles his nose. His
ears perk up and he looks up toward the west.
Raban grabs the last warrior and twists him around grasping
him from the neck and skull. He twists quickly and severs the
warrior's spine killing him instantly.
On the other side of the field a figure appears from behind
the nearest flyer the elementals last cracked open. The figure
smoothes the clothing and straightens a piece of gear on the
hand belt. "What is the situation here? I gather you have dealt
with the large group of Vong that was descending the stairs?"
Chion looks up to the new voice and instinctively grabs his
sai on his belt. As he does this he drops the water skin and
raises to his feet. Then he smiles at Unali walking toward the
group. Chion raises his hand and points down to the two knocked
out members. He explains the last Vong knocked them out and he
just healed Will. He points to the wandering Will and points to
the dead Vong.
Inside the Vong home, Ben'dar stabs the lone warrior in the
stomach doing 8 points killing him.
Arawn sees the last Vong fall and rushes outside hoping to
find more brigaders or at least a outcast. He heads to home
(B13) and opens it to find empty.
Kell raises his head to look at Unali. She seems in good spirits
and also in great condition. He wonders where she has been. Then
glances at Chion. Maybe both of them skipped the ground fighting
and ported a bit upstairs? Would make sense how the Shaper found
the issue of gravity on the ground.
Lin runs out of the home and finds the door Arawn is at open.
Cautiously he assumes that to be Arawn. Realizing it empty he
moves onto the last home in this row.
Z'leyra finishes the distance to find the home (I9) with Ben'dar
standing over a dead Vong. She quickly moves toward the next home
in the line.
Kiet glances at Unali and then back at the stairs. He furrows
his eyebrows in dismay. Two Vong is many to Unali? He only
notices the one dead here and the one on the stairs likely killed
by Fremea. Sounds like a full squad was coming down not two.
Will watches the mission leader come from no where. He
knows it is about time. Was she slacking down underground?
-------------------------
[Time: 2:28:40 pm]
Fremea flies further westward ending up about 60 feet from the
eastern side of those homes. As she flies she can find the odd
tingle of a supernatural force. It seems to draw her senses to
that of a Kototohi presence. She can sense it to her left to
the south. But she can't pinpoint it. She doesn't realize the
large portal that Arawn discovered earlier is nearby. Maybe
here senses aren't as sophisticated or attuned to such things.
She continues to fly but now a bit more cautious.
Squirt bats his nose with a claw and does a funny little sound
when he recognized the long legged female approaching.
Raban runs to the last home (B15) in the top eastern section.
He opens it to find a single Warrior with his back to him.
He kicks the warrior in the back slamming him into the far
northern wall breaking a rib doing 6 points of damage.
Unali completes the distance to stand near Chion and looks
down to the two fallen comrades. She notices Farseeker's
chainmail is removed which is nothing he would do in battle
unless about to be healed. She listens to Chion give a quick
report on the flyer field and battle.
Chion explains the odd rock creatures summoned by Kell. How
they tackled about 30 or 40 of them on their own.
Ben'dar leaves the dead Vong accidentally running into the
invisible Z'leyra. He pats her on the arm and runs to the
next area (I11). Getting there he finds the home empty of
any person or gear.
Arawn leaves the empty home and runs to join Raban in the
last home. He slices his Elven blade toward the sole warrior
hitting him in the left side doing 5 points of damage.
Kell listens to Chion's report wondering how he knew of the
attacks on the flyers from the elementals. He was gone at the
time he recalls. At least not seen by the others.
Lin runs and joins Arawn and Raban at the last home. he tries
to swing on the warrior but fails to hit him.
The last Vong in the north area twists away from Lin's blade
while raising his amphistaff toward Raban. he hits the bard in
the center chest but his armor protects him.
Kiet turns back to the stairs to watch it. Maybe this large
squad is still coming down? He reaches behind him to ensure
his three javelins are good to use.
Will decides the group will continue to chat about combat and
healing. That'll take some time. He turns on his heels and
begins to move quickly south to the tower he fell from the
sky with plans to retrieve his bow.
-------------------------
[Time: 2:28:43 pm]
Fremea notices the giant, not a hard thing to miss, run
toward one home. She diverts for the giant since he is the
first party member she knows.
Raban slaps the Vong in the neck with his large gauntleted
hand crushing his throat and doing the final damage to
kill the Vong warrior.
Unali continues for the group in front of her. The others
can catch up maybe soon. "Congratulations on taking out so
many Vong and securing the ground floor. I took the liberty of
exploring stairs up to find the World Brain. It may be best
if we gather everybody before we proceed upwards."
Chion crosses his arms and considers the news. Maybe he
should speed things further by picking up the others? It
might take them a good 2 minutes to return here. But maybe
they need the exercise.
Ben'dar leaves the empty home and runs to the next one (R11).
Opening the door he is disgusted by the sight on the ground.
A nude teen girl maybe 15 or 16 is on her back and a Vong
warrior is on top of her showing inter-species sex techniques.
The Vong has his crab armor but his clothing is gone. Ben'dar's
anger boils over at the obvious abuse and screams in rage. He
stabs the filthy Vong in the right side ribs doing 19 points
to him.
Arawn scans the home but sees nothing of value. He leaves
the home and wonders what is next. The top half of the homes
seem to be explored. That means the south portion.
At the mention of World Brain Kell stands up and stops his
cleaning of Caladan's wounds. He glances upwards to what must
be the caves. So they have found the central nexus to the whole
Vong invasion.
Lin exits the home and also realizes what Arawn has that
the ground area may be finished.
The nude Vong warrior rolls off and out of the girl and
grabs his amphistaff. He flexes it to form a snake whip
and it lunges upward fast and true toward the barbarian's
neck. The snake then rips and bites the man doing 6 points.
Z'leyra rushes up to the home to find the scene and now
a newly wounded Ben'dar grasping for air. Her staff hits
the warrior in the right middle ribs doing 7 points.
Kiet turns to hear Unali's words on the world brain. Maybe
a good javelin will call it or something. How tough could
a brain be anyway?
-------------------------
[Time: 2:28:46 pm]
Fremea flies northward toward Lin and Raban's direction.
Raban glances left finding no more homes to explore.
He waves the others forward going back down south.
Unali continues, "I have found the World Brain I think, but
it will be quite a fight to take it out." She begins to describe
the cave containing the world brain.
Chion listens and glances west. He knows the others may need
to get here to hear the details and heal the others.
Ben'dar stabs the warrior in the right upper chest doing the
final damage to kill him. Ben'dar then stabs the dead Vong
twice more just out of spite.
Arawn follows the giant and recalls the enthralled man's
location. He is in one home about 200 feet odd feet south
of them.
Kell listens to the details of the cave upstairs.
Lin jogs after Raban to see what is up next.
Z'leyra drops her magical staff and kneels to check out
the nude girl. Physically she has all the parts intact
other than bruises and cuts from likely many abusive sessions.
Kiet glances south to see Will heading that way.
The girl raises up and begins to sob greatly in Z'leyra's
arms. It is obvious the girl is weak likely from lack of
water and food.
-------------------------
[Time: 2:28:49 pm]
Fremea continues flying north and ends up about 30 feet
from Raban. She gives a quick yell to the giant to let
him know she is nearby.
Raban glances around to see where Fremea's voice. He
continues onward to the south.
Unali uses her hands to describe the cave and the people
inside.
Chion realizes the unconscious ones need to still be
treated so kneels down and gets back to work.
Ben'dar gets to the last home (I15) and opens it to find
it empty. He kicks the wall eager to kill more scum Vong.
Arawn heads south eager to meet back up with Fremea.
Kell watches Chion get back to work and also helps out.
Lin sheathes his sword and wipes his hands on his tunic
and forehead clearing the sweat.
Z'leyra tries to calm the girl and hopes the others
found other prisoners to rescue.
Kiet listens to the amount of danger up above and hopes
the group heals and rests some before rushing there.
The girl continues to cry while turning to kick the
dead Vong with her foot.

Actions? Comments?
Next Update....Friday...
GM: A short update but I wanted to get the ground field to be
fully covered and at this point everything has been explored.
Keep in mind the three groups have no direct info on what
others are doing. Fremea can post dialogue or details to
keep them up to speed but even she doesn't know about the
world brain at this point. Once Ben'dar is walking around
visible he can be found and thus Z'leyra to have all regroup
if needed. If healing is to be done someone needs to
determine the details for it. I think I'll do 2 minutes
for the next update. This means will give time for Will
to get his bow and others if need be to walk around. So
decide on actions for that for the next update. I
will describe what Unali reports on the cave next update.

first letter is the coordinate row and second is column.
If the scale is large I will use a .XX to denote distance
between that row and next (in this case Lin for example
is 30 feet heading north to row G). This way I know where
folks are exactly.
