[Recap]
From Fremea: [Re: Actions]
Fremea will work on taking out the shaper.
GM: Ack.
From Kell: [Re: Actions]
[ouch. 2 Hp? Better than 1, but ouch. ug. ]
GM: Ack. Well as the chart shows you could take another
healing with a 60% chance to live (40% for death). :)

[New Stuff]
[Augado 10th, 1634TH]
[Location: Middle Katai Plains]
[ Mountains west of Pamau]
[Time: 3:26:35pm]
Arawn stares with more than his vision the scene before him.
The captive has spat out a cloud of blood, vomit and what
has to be the microoraganisms that would be the deadly toxin.
By sheer of will alone the Alfar somehow stopped the cloud
that is now only 2 feet in front of him in mid air. Then
he closes his eyes and can feel as well as see the scene around
him. It is a strange sensations of awareness. He has heard
some wizards have those spells to be alert and aware but he has
never seen such spells active in front of him. The druid then
places the biggest thread in front of his mind. If the others
get the toxin the team is finished. That would mean the Vong
would win. Even if it meant the death of the captive he would
have to stop that threat. Concentrating all of his might and
the weapon of prayer he balls his hands into a fist and then
flexes outward. With that motion the scene changes around him
for about 6 feet around him. First the cloud of toxin that is
now 4 feet in the air suddenly changes and transforms. The
new chemical makeup of the debris reshapes into that of a dust
or more like a fine snow dust. All around the expelled toxin
from Gan and the other dead captive also changes into this
strange dust. The red blood and green gore of fluids also
seems to change into a fine brown, gray dust layer. Arawn
can feel with his gut that the toxin is now harmless. While
it took a second for him to do all this it seems like years.
The toxin cloud which was motionless transformed and fall to
the ground in a silent avalanche of dust. In mid air the
toxins and micro bugs changed and hit the ground transformed.
Fremea eyes the area in the south where Z'leyra is standing.
She can't find the Shaper. She then realizes she must be using
a cloaker-beast of some kind. The Vong may be deadly vile
things but she admires the almost natural technology the Vong
use. No metal or artificial devices. But with living things
they have their limits. Fremea reaches out with her mana
senses or rather lowers the blockage that naturally stops
the mana detection of common things like grass, rocks and
trees. Blinking again she fine tunes the awareness to show
her the lack of mana. A very odd and strange feeling. It
is not natural to Sidh to be doing things like this. Sidh
should be aware of naturally in its original form. This seems
a bit wrong to her. But in this case it allows her to see
the Vong. Looking down she glances at the Vong directly under
her fighting Caladan. To her natural eyes she can see both.
But to the new sense she can see this block shape moving around
near Caladan. She doesn't understand how these creatures have
no mana or even such life force that everyone does. Surely
these beings can not be from the True Worlds. Glancing back
up south can see a block shape about 5 feet behind and to the
left of Z'leyra. She draws her newly prepared arrow and flies
toward the shape. It is better to fire close in case that beast
that cloaks her gives her protection. She ends up about 10
feet above and to the right of the Shaper.
Ha'Kell finished casting and takes a deep breath. Wincing in
pain he tries to not breath deeply again. Saying a choice word
in a nearly unspeakable language, he looks around for a target.
Sizing up the biggest threat he prepares to throw his spear.
Kell turns left and sees two Vong fighting Lin and Chion.
the one just south of Chion has a good open flank. He knows
Chion could take a full hit and live. So the risk is not
that great. So the trader reaches up and throws the spear
the 8 feet toward the Vong #11 warrior. He hits the Vong
in the right middle ribs doing 3 more points of damage.
Kiet sees his friend throw the spear and notices how
weak his throw was. But he knows the trader has that shield
and that should do him well. The two Vong nearby have to
be dealt with before the group can move on. The one facing
Lin is hard to target with ropes. He could throw one at
the Chion attacker but could miss due to Chion's large
body mass. But Kiet is inspired by the trader and pulls
out his second javelin. Stepping back he throws at the
same Vong #11. The warrior takes the javelin in his right
shoulder and pierces deep doing 11 more points of damage.
Raban tries a different approach and grabs for Shimara.
Hoping to pull him to the pit. But the leader seems to
anticipate it and the grapple misses making Raban lunge
forward to empty air. As he does he yells out, "Z'leyra!
Will's down!"
Unali now outside the cave stares at the strange scene
with Arawn. She can see the gore and blood seem to change
right in front of her. She blinks in confusion and tries to
clear her vision wondering if the toxin is affecting her own
brain. Yet the scene doesn't change in her vision. She
then realizes that Gan and the other captive is gone. Moments
ago she saw the gore and can only surmise that the two are
dead. Then she grabs her heart mentally as she wonders if
that captive was her brother. She can tell one of the captives
is blocked by Arawn so can't tell who it is. She starts forward
for a better look but notices Arawn raising a hand as if to give
a signal to wait.
Farseeker swings on his Vong but misses.
Chion also swings on the one with javelin and spear
in him but the now smart Vong dodges the sai as if learning
to avoid thrown things.
Ben'dar attacks his Vong but also fails to hit.
Kell draws his bastard sword and hopes his friends will
soon arrive.
Lin attacks his Vong warrior but fails to hit.
Vong #1 stabs Caladan in the lower center ribs doing 6
more points to the wizard.
Vong #2 and #15 swing at Farseeker and Ben'dar but
both fail to hit their targets.
Vong #5 the executor not the executioner like the humans
believe him to be, looks at Will's body. Executors are trained
in many more forms of death than just simple killing. Torture,
intrigue, stealth, tactics and combat are the ways of the
executor clan. Killing Will would now be a simple task as
to step forward and impaling him. But his own wounds is
now bleeding. He snaps his amphistaff to his arm and checks
his wound. His orders are to wait for the next wave. The
shapers saw what those rock things did at the Flyer field.
The one standing with the round blocker seemed to control
them. The Shapers claimed they could be stopped and so
the plan was made. Now Shimara under advice from the Shaper
Mother ordered these warriors to wait. Their own plan
will come about. But the intendant would like nothing more
to kill the human. he will wait a couple more seconds and
see if Shimara doesn't notice then kill him.
Vong #11 yanks the javeline out of his shoulder and throws
it to the ground. Then he pulls out the spear and grunts as
that one hurt just a tad. Nothing like ritual torture at
the hands of the Shapers. He turns to face Chion again and
flexes his amphistaff.
Vong #13 thrusts at Lin and hits him in the chest doing
no damage as the strike didn't penetrate his leather.
Z'leyra looks around for the Shaper but sees nothing. She
hopes the clairvoyance effect will help her. But then she
hears Raban's yell. She knows she could wildly swing at the
air and hope to hit the Shaper. But the chances are slim.
But if Will dies then who would make those nice drawings of
her healers school for the architect? She glances to the
right to see who could help Will. But those are engaged. If
Raban breaks to help Will then he will be bashed by Shimara.
So with no choice she runs for Will. She knows the speed will
not help as it wore off. She doesn't realize that she runs
past Fremea just above her.
Caladan hits the warrior that just damaged him but does not
penetrate his crab armor.
The Shaper looks around for a new target. She shifts to
her belt and reloads new razor bugs into her pistol. Going
after the strange female she just stabbed is not good as
she is running away like the coward she is. But she can
do more damage with her pistol than a coufee.
Omini shakes his head and wonders which side he should
be loyal to. The enemy seem to be doing little to stop
the Vong but the Vong are dangerous beings. He has to do some
thinking before this battle is over.
-----------
[Time: 3:26:38pm]
With the first threat disabled, Arawn raises a hand
to Unali to wait. The Alfar can sense Unali and that
other wizard watching him. But Arawn then realizes that
the new threat is inside the captive. From the look of
his eyes it seems the toxin is still in the prisoner. Arawn
concentrates and images the toxin. A memory comes to him near
Ezam's cave. When the group met with Caladan's master. When
the master told of the blue bugs that controlled people. Clearly
they were Vong Shaper made. As they were not natural to this
world. But in that home his master had samples under a glass
that was spelled to enlarge items. Arawn saw the bugs in
a new perspective not seen with natural vision. Like the
spell on Frema's spyglass that all give sher vast range, the
bugs were enlarged and in glorious detail. Arawn tries to
picture this again in his mind. He knows the toxin must be
tiny not seen by natural vision. In his brain he can feel
and see the veins and arteries of the man in front of him
on the ground. Arawn can sense and through his third eye
see the blood flowing with things there as well. he can see
red and white circles. There in front of his third eye he
can see the strange toxin. It is more square shaped that
looks like a thing half worm half ant with the description
in his third eye. Arawn knows he could use the orange pill
to try to stop them. But that could take too long. But now
knowing the bugs exist in the man's body tries to figure out
a way to stop them entirely.
Fremea aims at the Shaper only 10 feet away and fires. The
arrow flies and hits the Shaper in the left chest. The arrow
penetrates the cloak and does 18 points of damage. This makes
the Shaper fall to the ground. But Fremea can't tell if she is
dead or knocked out.
Kiet reaches for his last javelin and looks at the warrior. But
is stared back and realizes the warrior is now prepared for the
throwing weapon. He realizes that his chances would be
more difficult
so waits on firing until the warrior is more distracted.
This time Raban grabs the shoulder and arm of Shimara. The grapple
holds and Raban uses all of his strength to pull the leader
toward him.
Stepping back the giant twists and with a grunt throws the
leader toward
the pit. the Vong leader goes flying toward the pit and falls inside
toward the spike traps.
Unali shifts her feet for a better view of the captive. She then
sees the man covered in dry blood bits. Not as much as before as
the blood changed to a fine dust all over his face like makeup. But
those eyes are distinctive! Her heart skips a beat as she realizes
the last captive alive is her brother. But now the man is shaking
as if in a cold storm and doesn't understand what is going on
or what Arawn is doing. Unali speaks up, "thanks Arawn." Then
turns around knowing that her brother is likely in good hands.
She draws up her normal dagger and gets into attack position. Now
it is time to bring her skills to show the Vong how upsetting
kidnapping her brother is - hopefully with lots and lots of blood.
Farseeker thrusts at warrior #2 hitting him in the left
shoulder doing 7 points of damage.
Chion swipes his sai dagger at Vong #11 doing another point
of damage past his armor.
Ben'dar stabs Vong #15 doing 9 points of damage by penetrating
deep into his stomach.
Kell charges with bastard sword in hand toward Vong #11. The
poor warrior was just impaled by the javelin and spear. Now the
trader impales him in the chest doing over 20 points of damage
killing the wounded warrior.
Lin swings at his warrior but fails to hit.
The executor or in human terms the captain of the warriors
in this case, sees Shimara flung into the pit. This is not
according to plan! If the leader dies the Brain could take
that as a serious offense. The intendant waves toward Raban
and nods. This finally gives the order to attack the giant
since Shimara is off the field possibly dead. Stepping forward
to kill Will the warrior pulls up his amphistaff and tries to
impale him. But the amphistaff hits the transmuted armor and
is deflected. The warrior growls in disgust and raises it again
to try the exposed skin of his neck.
Vong #1 swipes at Caladan again and hits him for another 2 points
of damage to his chest.
Vong #2 fails to hit Farseeker in his attack. But #15 does
hit Ben'dar but his dragon armor protects him.
Vong #9 finally sees the order to attack. He runs toward
Z'leyra and swings but misses as the amphistaff goes to her
side a inch behind her.
Vong #4 and #7 leave the left throne area and charge toward
Raban. Both him in the chest and arm but in both cases his
armor protects him.
Vong #8 and #10 charge toward Raban as well. One getting
almost in front of Z'leyra. both attack with their amphistaves.
the first fails to hit but the second does but his armor protects
against the strike. Now 4 are on Raban alone.
Vong #13 swings at Lin again but fails to hit him.
Z'leyra sees the flood of throne guards move forward. Now
four are surrounding Raban. She knows he could live for a bit
even fighting twice that many. But Will likely will not survive
seconds from now. The one warrior just attacked her but he is
less a threat. So Z'leyra runs behind Raban and toward the
executor. With Will on the ground she is free to swing fully
and hits the warrior in the right ribs doing 16 points of
damage as it pierces his ribs and side.
A weaker Caladan swings his magical staff at Vong #1 and
hits him in the neck doing 18 points to his right shoulder
and neck.
Omini sees Shimara flung into the pit and his jaw drops
in amazement. Shimara will not like that at all! Then
the throne guards run forward. Looking at the throne he
notices there are no warriors there. Grinning the outcast
crawls toward the throne.

Actions? Comments?
Next Update....Friday?
GM: Happy turkey day/Football watching/sleep later day!? Well
for Wout I guess its just a Thursday. Same for me I'll
be working. Which I don't at all as its a big bonus. I may
or may not get to a update. Depends on the day. I suspect
folks will be too busy to post/read so likely will be useless.
So if not then don't panic.
Got an email from Wout/Unali. With moving and no 'net
access at home been absent due to that. But did catch
up and send me a few things on it. Added the dialog above
to Arawn directly from her. So he is doing well.
Mana report updated as of this update. Congrats to our
Spear/Javelin chuckers for +1 ELs! (see report *'s)
GM: Stats -
Leader - 1 Alive??????
Outcast - 1 Alive 1 Dead [1 dazed]
Shapers - 1 Alive?? 1 Dead [1 Invisible now]
Brigader- 4 Dead
Prisoner- 1 Alive 1 Dead [Is bro alive?]
Voxyen - 3 Dead

GM: Map Groups -
Farseeker/Ben/dar/2 Warriors
Caladan/1 Warrior
Fremea/Shaper
Lin/Chion/Kell/Kiet/1 Warrior
Raban/Will/Z'leyra/6 Warriors
GM: Notes -
Arawn - Hope you like the result.
Fremea - If you check the Shaper you will have to either
just kill her or search her body to see if alive. After
that what then? What target?
Kell/Kiet - Can get your spear/Javelins back if needed.
Kiet - Good throw. But second phase halted since he
was expecting and figured he could've dodged.
Kell - If spell worked the rocks will come soon. Maybe.
Unali - You can stay to see if Brother survives or
go back in and fight.
Will - Still knocked out. Dang Vong rolled a stupid
74 to kill you. A blind man could've done it. But
he sucks as a fighter I guess. Darn my luck. Good
for you but oh well. Maybe next time.
Z'leyra - Figured you didn't want to go chase the Shaper
since you couldn't see her. But now you could
be swamped by 5-6 Vong.
