[Recap]
From Fremea: [Re: Actions]
Fremea hears the whole den go a little bit too quiet. She
has her dagger out and quickly flutters down the stairs to
access the situation. If it looks like Kiet is about to get
himself jump, she will take out a few of the armed people to
make sure it is more fair. If he seems to be doing well, then
she sneak her way to where Bozan is sitting, taking in
anything about him, including any magic items or energy about
him.
GM: Ack.
From Arawn: [Re: Actions]
Arawn paused at Irza's response, a pleasantly surprised...
"We need his help - is Ozon here? What does he look like?"
GM: Ack.
From Z'leyra: [Re: Actions]
"Yes Raban, you could take them on all by yourself." ....
GM: Ack.

[New Stuff]
[Sepes 29th, 1634TH]
[Location: City of Samma, Donara]
[Time: 1:09 am - Samma city, Donara]
Moments before the ambush Jordi finds the group stalking
them and appearing as if long lost friends meet again.
Jordi asks Unali for a hug.
Unali sheaths her daggers and hugs Jordi. She pulls him to
the side outside the pool of light from the lamp. "Good to
see you. I would love to hear what you are doing here, but
let's catch up with my party. Unless you don't want to be seen.
And, Jordi, notice? No trees, so you might want to work on your
stealth just a bit."
Jordi laughs and pulls Unali by the arm down the street to
catch up with Raban and Z'leyra. "I may not be the great
stalker in the shadows like you. But I have my strengths." He
taps her on the arm like a grandmother might a granddaughter.
"It is good to see you. Its been almost a year?"
The pair meet up with the other pair and move along. Then
Jordi explains his plans to rid the Climans from Fort Affea
south of the Wild Forest.
Unali turns to Jordi, "If you are here to flush out the
Climans what where you doing trashing loudly through the dark
here. I would not believe that you could move silently through
a forest based on the noise you were just making. Good that you
have a decent job instead."
"Like I say. Our talks at the tavern were over for
the night. The others who feel the same as we do went
to their own places. I was walking to my Inn. I wasn't
actually aware of them until about 2 minutes before you
found me. This place does have street gangs. I was thinking
it was one of them. But then I heard one speak. I
do hope my friends are safe."
Raban suggests flying the girls to safety from this strange
Elf. Though Raban finds this bad since he is strong friends
to the Sidh. He is torn between helping Fremea get her
quest complete and helping this strange Elf.
Unali speaks low to Jordi, "So the Climans are trying to
flush you out instead. No Raban, none of this nonsense
protecting the women. We will take them on together. You were
not around on Clima, but we were.. no need for foolishness."
----------
[Time: 1:14:15 am - Samma city, Donara]
Across town in the tavern/inn Will and Kell sit across
from each other on separate beds, staring at each other.
Kell seems to be waking up from a long silence of inactivity.
For Will he seems to continue his silence. Both are petting
their respective pets.
Suddenly the wolf perks up from the ground and stares at
the door and growls. A few seconds later Squirt perks up
and looks to the dark closed window with the curtains half
open.
On the other side of town in the north west Raban, Unali,
Z'leyra and Jordi stand around on the dark street. All
are standing in the center of the street which is a main
everyday street. Going east to west is the long street. Going
north and south are some side streets and alleys. The city
keeps this section of town lit up with street lamps every 40
or so feet. Aside from those street torches lanterns or even
a few candles may be on the porch or inside shops that are
now closed and empty. During the day there might be a hundred
people on the street. But this hour there is no one seen
for about 15 min.
Z'leyra tries to look normal as she scans the area without
looking around. "Yes Raban, you could take them on all by
yourself." Z'leyra says, "but it would be faster and have less
chance of any of them getting away if we all take them on,
preferably in an ambush. Unali and I are hardly helpless in a
fight. Lets lead them down a dark alley and get the drop on
them. Unali, you up to climbing up to the roof with Raban's
boost after we turn the corner? I will go invisible and you men
lead them further in and when they are all in the alley Unali
and I will block their exit."
Unali draws her daggers, "Sounds like a plan." Unali pulls
her cape around her and start to look for a ambush point.
Back at the gambling hall Irza clutches her bed sheet
around her from the strange men who are seeing her. Since
she was sold at 14 she has had hundreds of men and even
boys who had fathers bring sons. But this is a very odd
situation.
Arawn paused at Irza's response, a pleasantly surprised
and thoughtful look on his face, his eyes smiling as they
met the woman's gaze. That Ozon might prove to be not quite
so unsavory an individual for a thief was an uplifting thought,
though the Alfar was aware that despite Irza's experience he
was anything but.
Hoping to discover if the thief was present and what he
looked like but not wishing to ignore the situation Kiet was
now placed in he motioned to Etain and then to the back door.
"Keep a listen and let me know if he needs our help," he
told the Elf before turning back to Irza.
Etain nods and places a ear to the door facing west.
Arawn continues, "We need his help - is Ozon here? What
does he look like?"
Inside Kiet can feel the glaring eyes of the Fomorian guard.
He wishes he could throw a javelin right through those eye
to stop that sneer.
Kiet smiles at this man next to him playing cards and
shakes his head. "As I said before, I came to see if you might
have some drugs I might purchase for some friends of mine. I
especially wanted some 'wheat'...I don't know what you call
it...it induces a drunkenness like state...and some 'eysit'..."
Kiet grins even bigger. "To make them happier and more, um,
energetic shall we say. Who likes an unhappy drunk after all?"
Bogan laughs and then the bodyguards chuckle. "Yes some
girls just are not agreeable to charms."
Kiet continues, "As to the illusion...which it is...why
should I show myself to these people who would sell their own
mother for a daily score? Certainly they would be happy
enough to rat me out to the guards should they need a copper?
You, I expect, can be trusted not to be turning in your
customers. That would be bad for business!"
Bogan nods and deftly flexes his fingers. The barkeep and
the patrons behind Kiet seem to stop and move away. Though
Kiet only feels this but does not see it.
Kiet lowers his voice some and then says "I also heard you
might know where I can acquire some Purple Lotus Powder that I
seek. I would truly prefer not to be recognized as the one who
purchased something the local guards consider dangerous. They
have such limited wits to understand the many ways such a
substance might be put to good use. Excuse me a second..."
Kiet begins to whisper under his breath a start of a spell.
But before he could get the second word out Bogan has a dagger
out and pointing at him. Bogan shakes his head, "NO magic.
Obviously you have the ability. But magic and..games do not
match up. For your safety and my customers you will cease."
Kiet is surprised how fast the man got the dagger out. Kiet
could easily bash the dagger away. But Kiet decides for now
maybe its best to stop. Maybe Fremea is standing right next ot
him and can sense what is going on.
Outside Irza speaks in a slight tremble as the cool night is
reaching her most private places. "The man sometimes comes to
sell things to Bogan. High end stuff. I entertain him but only
to talk." She looks down considering this. "I guess she prefers
much higher company. But mostly he tells me games in better
more established places. He belives ves this to be too scummy."
She looks up. "as to him. He is about 5 and a half feet tall.
Average weight. Nice black hair and green eyes. His smile can
melt butter. He can do amazing things with the daggers."
"butter eh?"
Arawn whips around and reaches for his sword to the new voice.
"Not so fast friend. Hands away from that stick."
Arawn tares at a dark form only 5 feet away. How in his
parent's name could he gotten so close?
Bogan stands and Kiet notices the dagger gone. Likely up
the man's sleeve. A nifty trick. "We have plenty of the
first drugs." Bogan turns to his Fomorian guard. "Take
him to my office. I'll go upstairs and see if we have the
other thing."
The guards stand and gesture for Kiet to move toward the
east toward the rooms seen near the entrance.
Fremea invisible slips down the stairs and watches the
patrons in the north end of the hall. They seem to be
ignoring Kiet and his group. They are still playing cards
and talking. Likely simple patrons not henchmen. Then
Fremea notices a large man stand near Kiet and saying he
is going upstairs to find something. As the man moves
toward the stairs a patron asks, "Bogan got any more of
that Ceruluean Silk Spice left?"
"Yeah. Ask the barkeep."
Fremea dashes up the stairs. What a nice thing to have
Bogan heading upstairs.
Outside the man stands with hands down to his sides but
stretched out a half from his legs. As if eager for
his belt but not so eager. Arawn wonders how he could have
gotten so close. Why didn't Corona warn him? Then he
realizes he did ask if anyone LEAVES not comes. But this
man was stealthy like a thief. Then Arawn realizes his
mistake.
"I do like butter. Irza come."
"Ozon!"
The girl stands to the side of the Thief. "Now what
do you wish to seek me for?" He holds a arm around
the girl to warm him up.
Kiet is taken to a office where a simple desk, 2 chairs,
couch and a drink cabinet. A very simple office for Bogan
it seems. There are some parchments on the desk but
otherwise it seems clean. A couple of bright candles are
the wall on holders. the bodyguard motions Kiet inside
to a chair and stand inside the door waiting. The door
is closed and Kiet realizes less bad guys but in a very
tight spot now.
Across town Raban leads the group down the street. To
find a alley that is closed will be tricky. AFter a few
minutes Unali points to a alley that looks closed. Maybe
a building up against others. Raban out loud says he has
to relive himself. He then turns moving toward the darkness.
The other 3 move toward the alley. Once in the shadows Unali
moves to find access to the wall. Z'leyra begins to cast
a invisibility spell. Jordi stands in the center of the alley
moving a bit further inward.
Unali is in luck to the left is a two story tailor shop down
stairs. Most tailors live upstairs but there are no windows
there likely a warehouse. She finds on the right side a
wooden staircase leading to a second story door. She climbs
the stairs and waits in the darkness kneeling down.
To the right a one story silversmith story is also closed
and dark. to the far inside of the alley seems to be the
rear of some building. The alley is about 90 feet long only.
But about 30 feet wide.
Soon Jordi hears footsteps. Five men in the darkness
approach. Jordi seems to ignore them and leads them further
back in the alley. So the women can set their trap. The
man seem to follow quietly but obviously there not wanting
to be so stealthy.
The man in the center yells out, "just come along Elf
and we'll leave your new friends alone. Fight back and
we'll have to bust some heads." The man speaks in Donaran
but with a Climan accent.
Back at the gaming hall Bogan climbs the stairs and moves
to the left room and unlocks the door. He enters the store
house and starts to shuffle with boxes leaving the door
open to bring in light from the hallway.
[Time: 1:17:22 am - Samma city, Donara]
Actions? Comments?
Next Update....Monday...
GM: A short relative update but I got a bit of emergency
tonight so had to deal with it. But we are at
a good point to end for now. Will try to update
and add new maps. Normally would try to synch the
time between Raban and Fremea's group. But I will
try to separate them for ease. Keep in mind no one
knows Ozon is here so you have to act as if not known
for now. As with all maps if need to get good view
see website if email cuts off spaces/tabs.
GM: Unali - Thanks for the email on actions. I'm not worried
about you missing. I know you're busy. As always if behind
with any updates just read the actual updates. Skip the
individual posts. That way only have to read it all at
once. Thanks.
GM: Fremea - Spell ended about 10 seconds before Bogan
went in store room. You could deal with him visible
if need be if you so wish to do doing a 3rd spell
might be costing. I'll try to work on the mana report
this weekend. IM me if need to know on mana if need to.
The storage room Bogan is in on second floor is full
of crates, shelves and some barrels. From the door
he is about 10-15 feet inside. Your just outside the
door in the hallway.
Kiet - The office is cramped. See new map below. It is
only 25 feet wide and 50 long. Obviously a ex-bedroom
converted to a office. Likely he deals with folks in the
main area. Directly behind you is one guard about 8
feet behind and one to your left and behind guarding
the door. If questions ask.
Raban's group - Map below is so simple if need a map without
the hexes let me know. The alley is fully dark. The
nearest light is a torch around the corner about 30 feet
so its 98% pitch dark. Unali your on the stairs (think
a small fire escape) 20 feet up. your over #1 and #5
about 8 feet away both (see map) on ground. The alley
is full of trash on ground but there are a couple of
broken crates but that is about it.
GM: Groups -
To track down Thief - Fremea, Kiet, Arawn, Etain, Corona
To find building - Raban, Z'leyra, Unali
To stay at tavern - Will, Kell
