[Recap]
From Kiet: [Re: Actions]
Kiet is rather confused at the current circumstances...
"Arawn, I am not like Unali or Raban. I am not ..
Kiet will cast that spell at max EL
GM: Ack.
From Arawn: [Re: Actions]
A slight frown crossed Arawn's face as Fremea darted ...
______________________________________________________________
[Don't know if the Tracking skill would help speed
catching up with Ozon but Arawn will try and take advantage
of his Trailing skill to help both himself and, if possible,
Kiet avoid notice]
"I'm not one for barging in either," Arawn replied...
GM: Ack. Good detail on the follow up. I forgot a couple
of those details. But in order to rush things I did
it the other way. Else we would be sittings weeks to
figure out who escorts and who goes where. Etc. Some
times you have to guide the game faster beyond the
mundane things.

[New Stuff]
[Sepes 29th, 1634TH]
[Location: City of Samma, Donara]
[Time: 1:39:12 am - Samma city, Donara]
A slight frown crossed Arawn's face as Fremea darted away.
Behind him the fire blazed away, the Alfar aware of how easily
cinder and flame would spread the fire from across the wood
and thatch of buildings, devastating towns and cities. He hoped
that there were resources present, whether mundane or magical,
to end the threat before it spanned the setting. And at the
same time he had the issue of three young girls, confused and
still vulnerable, to deal with, disappointed that they had
been ignored in the immediate aftermath of Ozon's escape.
But Etain's timely intrusion, presenting both coin and
sanctuary, brought a measure of relief to the grateful druid,
though even then he would have preferred they have an escort
to the farm. But perhaps the city guard Etain had mentioned
were on there way would provide the girls some assistance.
Pulling out some spare clothing and boots he tossed them to
Irza, remembering that she had nothing more than his cloak
and a bloody bedsheet for cover.
He took one last look at the gambling hall, wondering
if he should pull Bogan's burnt remains from the inferno,
before realizing Etain had disappeared. Thinking quickly he
switched one of his gold coins for one Etain had handed the
girl just in case he needed to Track the elf later on. With
that he joined Kiet in the chase.
Of course the gold coin would not have been a personal item
more than just a coin owned for a short time. So it might
not be able to be used for tracking. Unless the Elf had it
for a long time. Not like a personal item he made or wore.
[Time: 1:42:29 am - Samma city, Donara]
Across town Jordi watches Fremea watching the dark military
center. He sizes up the Faerry who seems to be in control or
as leader. He smiles faintly knowing how chaotic it would
have been if Thig was in command during his stay with this
group.
From afar Raban can see the front doors are glass. It
would be easy to shatter and enter quickly. But he waits
for Fremea to give instructions.
Back at the industrial street Arawn and Kiet watch
the warehouse that is so trying to hide its true reality.
Kiet is rather confused at the current circumstances and
how things came to be like this. Well, he knows what
needs to be said now.
"Arawn, I am not like Unali or Raban. I am not really
interested in barging into this place. I do offer, however,
to cast a Mana Sending and send a sphere into the building
to scout things out."
"I'm not one for barging in either," Arawn replied to
Kiet. "Go for it."
While Kiet worked his magic the Alfar took advantage of
his night-vision, scanning the area and peering into the
windows of the other warehouses as they closed in,
attentive to any hidden threat that might surprise the
pair.
Arawn looks to the other warehouses but only sees darkness.
It would take some effort to look further as even night
vision can't sell too far inside dark buildings. But as
far as obvious issues it seems nothing is there like traps.
Just ordinary warehouses for business.
Kiet knows his magic sphere is far ranging but he has
to get closer. Both men inch down the street toward the
warehouse. Arawn his senses alert for magics but finds
nothing. As they get within 20 feet of the south wall
they see a large wagon down the alley to the east. There
are two quiet horses at the front.
Kiet begins to cast his mana sphere while citing the
magical words. He waves his hands around as in a circle
like weaving a sphere in the air. As he does the magical
blue energy forms the semi-visible ball. To Arawn and
the creator it is visible. Kiet knows a good sense of
empathy could detect it. But then again bad guys like
Ozon seem to have less empathy than most.
Sending the sphere inside Kiet begins to whisper a full
description of what his mind's eyes see. The warehouse
is light by over hanging lanterns about every 30 feet.
While this helps mostly there are many patches of darkness
Kiet can use the shadows to elude detection.
While the sphere can see a good 40 feet forward it does
not see much in this large warehouse. It will take time
to recon everything. He knows he has two maybe two and
a half minutes. That is about 1 minute per floor. So
he has to move fast through the place.
Turning left he moves fast down the south side of the
wall. He finds a wooden area and going along it finds
it to be a wooden cage. It looks out of place for a warehouse
but is obviously a cage or jail. The sides are wooden but
the front has a simple X pattern of wood that criss crosses
as a door. It is reinforced with a small metal bar. This
allows folks to see in and out. The cage is empty. Moving
further east Kiet finds a second page. Then he is shocked
to see two men. The cage is dark but there is something
familiar about one man. He is rather large. Kiet knows
time is passing so he circles the two briefly. Then he
is shocked to realize the two men are Kell and Will!
How in the great god's sake could they have gotten here?
They were left at the Inn. Kiet can see that both men
seem to be tied with ropes on hands but not moving. It
seems that Will is breathing but it is hard to tell if
Kell since he is on lying on his stomach. Both seem
to have their eyes shut possibly unconscious.
Arawn is shocked by this news. How did Ozon get the
two allies and why? Where is the wolf and Squirt?
Moving more to the east Kiet finds another wooden cage
but it is empty. Moving north Kiet sees a series of
crates on the ground. Time is running out so it is hard
to avoid the contents but there is a lot of ground left.
Moving over the crates Kiet finds another row of crates
followed by a human closing one crate. Zooming past
two more rows of crates are found. Kiet also mentions
on the far east is a back wooden door. Moving west past
the crates a second human is moving north toward the
work tables. On the far west is a front door. The front
door is wide enough for a wagon if need be. But there
is a single wooden single person door to the left. Both
doors are closed as well as the back door.
Moving to the north wall the work tables are littered
with tools of various things. Shackles, rope, collars of
metal, locks, keys, whips, locksmith tools and various
other instruments Kiet is not sure what they are.
Moving along the north wall Kiet can see Ozon in some
heated argument of some kind. Too bad these spheres can't
do sound. Ozon is facing another human. All the other
guys are wearing leather jerkins and swords at their hips.
They seem to be workers or laborers but it is unclear with
the brief views. Nearby Ozon are some barrels of some
kind closed. Moving eastward there is set of wooden
steps leading to the second floor.
Going upstairs the sphere moves southward. Most of
the floor seems darker and more empty. The sphere finds
a office of some kind that is now empty. Exiting the
enclosed office the sphere moves toward the south wall
finding nothing. Moving back up to the center of the
floor the sphere sees another male moving northward.
Bypassing the man some additional crates are in the center
of the room. To the west side of the crates a man who
looks like a guard is staring westward. The man
seems to be standing watch. The sphere moves north to
find some barrels. One is some fruit it seems. The
others are open and contain water.
Moving toward the west the rest of the floor seems to
have metal cages. These cages are covered in thin bars
on all sides. Locks are in the front with a metal door.
Inside the first cage Kiet can see two Faerry. Moving
south another cage is seen with two more Faerry. Then
a third larger cage is found with three more faerry.
This must explain the guard's stare at the cages by
the crates. Kiet can see each Faerry is wearing metal
collars and ropes on wings and hands. They must be
miserable as they seem to not even move. But Kiet can
see they seem to see the sphere and seem to look confused
if not wary.
Just as the third cage is entered the sphere fades and
the spell ends.
Arawn considers the odds. Six humans and Ozon. But Will
and Kell are inside. That could greatly increase their
odds if they are not dead or knocked out. But could they
get upstairs to save the Faerry before the guards kill them?
This must be where the Faerry escaped from that found Fremea
and was captured by the Vong. How many Faerry have been
captured, sold or killed? Why Faerry slaves? Clearly
there is some worth but wouldn't human slaves be far
better? Ozon was so nice to Irza but the man clearly
likes slaves. Maybe just not human ones.
As Arawn prepares to speak his mind is distracted when
he suddenly hears. "You did this!" From behind and to
the left. Both men jump and look to see a hulking man
in the shadows. Arawn can see his clothes are half off
from what looks like fire. Light tapers out from a nearby
window but is just enough to see the man's eyes. Green
eyes with a soot filled face. Then Kiet recognizes that
voice. That of the gatekeeper the head bouncer at the
hall. Could he escaped the fire and followed Kiet when
they back tracked on Ozon's trail?
"You come in and then poof." He steps forward now only
about 8 feet away. "Bogan paid well. Now I will take
it out of your skinny hide!" He raises his hand with
what seems to be some small blade maybe a dagger.
The man lunges forward. Arawn can see a dagger
in his hand but Kiet can only see the bulk of the
man in the darkness. Arawn is surprised he could not
smell the man approaching. But the shock of hearing
his friends inside was distracting.
[Time: 1:45:08 am - Samma city, Donara]
Actions? Comments?
Next Update....Friday...
GM: A good spot to end. Need info from Fremea's group.
If you recall a update that hinted on the Will
thing when the wolf started to growl? :) A hinted
scent on what happened. Was hoping Will might react
but nothing. I added the gatekeeper here to help
delay stuff until Fremea comes up with a plan.
No time to finish mana report. I got a bit food
poison so not enough energy to update the mana stuff.
Stay tuned. Sorry.
GM: I hope the warehouse description was good enough. The
place is obviously converted from a normal warehouse to
this place. The back door is a single one person door.
The wagon may be how they hauled Will's large frame
here. :) The windows are closed and boarded up with
storm like shutters that do the job of blocking looks
inside. They look like shutters but closer view shows
they are boarded up tight. Light does spill out by
very thin slits only.
