[Recap]
From Fremea: [Re: Actions]
Still pissed about letting the thief get away, she...
"I will fly up and go more towards the corner that I...
GM: Ack.
From Arawn: [Re: Actions]
OOC:
Right now Arawn's focus is on the bouncer. As to the
warehouse/rescue, I have a few ideas in mind but as I'm
not sure how the fight with the bouncer will play out it's
hard for me to determine the next course of action. After
it's resolved it will be easier for me to form and discuss
with Kiet a solid plan.
Are there windows on the upper floor? If so, are they also
boarded up?
Public:
Knowing that Kiet's night-vision isn't on par with....
"We can use him," he quietly informs Kiet as he begins...
GM: Ack. Windows upstairs but shuttered. Does not seem to
be hard boarded as first floor windows.

[New Stuff]
[Sepes 29th, 1634TH]
[Location: City of Samma, Donara]
[Time: Earlier this evening - Tavern]
Will and Kell sit on opposite beds across the room staring
at each other. Will continues to pet his wolf who is on the
ground, knowing his wounds from that wolf have yet to be truly
healed. Kell watches the wolf and hums a Baru song to calm
his nerves. Squirt in his arms purrs a bit from the soothing
hand strokes on his back.
Will has been very quiet of late and barely responds. For
Kell his quietness is different. But he is coming back to
his own. He can't believe Fremea didn't ask him to joint them?
Just assumed he - no they - should be left behind.
Both men can feel the fatigue. it is well over midnight
but both were affected by the attack by the strange item
piece by Squirt and the wolf. Maybe this is why they
were not invited?
Kell considers just lying down and getting some rest
when the wolf perks up. He looks to the door behind him
and begins to growl. Probably some cat.
But then Squirt facing the window perks up and begins
to chitter in his odd voice. Will realizes something is
up and reaches for his sword. But at that instant the
window breaks. Something is seen tossed inside to the
ground. On the second floor the person must be a good
climber or a good thrower.
Before Kell can reach for the item the door bursts open
from it being kicked inward. Two other objects are tossed
inside form the hall. Both Kell and Will stand to check
the hall. But as they do the objects explode in a soft
hiss. A burst of green and white gas is shot out in every
direction.
The wolf lunges toward the door just as Squirt now on
the ground collapses.
Will reaches the door just in time to see at least three
men standing away from the door. Just as Kell reaches for
his spear he also collapses to the ground.
Being a larger man Will exits the room and swings at the
first man but one of his friends thrusts a vial toward the
woodsman and it shoots out more gas directly in Will's face.
Will collapses to the ground just he tries a wild swing
and fails.
The leader of the men gestures inside. "Get them to
the wagon. Leave the animals or kill them."
Another man speaks up, "he won't like that. You know
how he is...toward animals."
"Fine. You carry the wolf to the wagon. This large
one will be hard enough taking him down. It will take
about two maybe three of us. Let's move. The others
could return."
From outside the fourth man enters the tavern. Together
they haul the captives toward the wagon to take to the
warehouse. They argue that Ozon won't like this but the
other one and his friend have their plans. They debate
leaving before the other two that are controlling Ozon
kill them. But in the end they walk right past the
deaf bar tender. He must be dead and blind to not see
what happens. But he ignores it as if this thing happens
all the time. Course the gold in his pocket also deludes
his vision.
-------------
[Time: 1:45:10 am - Samma city, Donara]
Southeast of the Military Center the group watches
in silence. Jordi explains he saw some shadows on
the second floor window above the front door. If
it was a person they are likely watching that side
of the place. Jordi watches Fremea testing her resolve
as leader it seems she is being tested.
Still pissed about letting the thief get away, she stares
at the building. Wondering if the one other person/thing is
inside right now, or if there is something else going on.
Turning to the other, Fremea gives some orders.
"I will fly up and go more towards the corner that I
remembered it being at. If it takes more than 10 minutes,
rough guess, someone might want to check on me." She winks
to Raban, and the flies up, so she could not be seen from a
window.
Flying overhead Corona circles the area in a wide arc
watching but not interfering for now.
Back at the warehouse the door guarding charges with
knife in hand.
Knowing that Kiet's night-vision isn't on par with the
Sidh and being able to see the dagger Arawn will keep with
his plan to move between the two men, hoping to shield Kiet
from a potential knife strike.
"We can use him," he quietly informs Kiet as he begins to
call upon his magical abilities.
Arawn steps between the bouncer and Kiet. He raises his
shield ready to block. He begins to murmur a few magical
words in a low whisper. As the bouncer charges he swings
his knife but Arawn blocks it easily with his shield.
Kiet steps back toward the wall and raises his own shield.
Not knowing why this crazy bouncer is after him surely the
man might be happy to find new work.
The bouncer stands tall and swings at Arawn's head but
the Elf ducks behind his shield and the knife finds only
empty air.
In leaning toward Arawn, the bouncer's feet is spread
apart. This is when Arawn does a side sweeping kick and
knocks the man down to the ground.
Arawn reaches out which his free hand and flexes his
fingers as he finishes the spell. Both Elf and bouncer
look at each other as the bouncer stands. The bouncer
swings the knife. But in mid arc the bouncer's arm goes
limp and falls to his side.
The bouncer stands with arms at his side and stares
at the Elf. Arawn smiles as Kiet join along with him
and wonders what is going on.
Back at the Military Center Fremea flies toward the
building before anyone can speak.
Jordi watches the Faerry fly away. "She is your leader?
A bit disorganized. What about you guys?"
Raban realizes she said to wait and see. But he grits
his teeth. He can't do that. No telling what is all
inside. He yanks Z'leyra by her collar toward him then
wraps one hand around the side of Unali. "I'm not
waiting...Join if you can."
Raban grabs both women with giant arms and hands
and begins to run with them in his arms. Taking
a few running steps he leaps into the air and flies
toward the building.
Jordi drops his jaw. "That you don't see everyday."
Shaking his head wondering what this large man is since
he doesn't seem to be human.
Flying in the darkness, Fremea can sense dread all
around her. Something big is going on not just here.
It is as if running from the past has caught up with
her full circle. She has doubts about seeing her parent
sever again. This mission to collect foolish pieces
is distracting her form that goal.
Fremea knows the vision had the piece in the north west
corner. Based on where they came she orients herself
and finds that area. She hovers on the west side of
the building looking at the dark windows. They are
thick windows making breaking not as easy but would
definitely alert others of her coming. The door is
her best bet. She lands at the door (J13). Peering
inside she sees only darkness.
The door is a glass door and she inspects the lock.
She can pick locks but her tools are not here. If only
she had that gem of Arawn's. Biting her lip she considers
the window again. She reaches for the lock to see how
hard it is but then feels the door shift. Looking
closer she finds the lock has been already picked.
Smiling she pulls the door open and enters.
Back at the military center Fremea eases inside. She
finds a long dark hallway leading east into total darkness
that the lanterns outside do not show. She pulls her
dagger and moves silently but with purpose.
Soon she reaches a three way. The hallway continues
east. Left and right toward new sections of the building.
She figures the north west is to the left so moves that
way. As she moves she can hear bits of noise that she
sounds like scratches. She passed closed doors but the
noise seems to continue northward.
"Turn around slowly." A low voice from behind
Fremea sounds out.
Fremea cringes and curses to be followed or even
be seen. At least she has her wings folded. She
places her dagger in her sleeve and notices a flicker
on the wall to the right. The man must be holding
a candle.
Fremea slowly turns to find a tall human about 5 feet
away. From the look of his tunic he is not in uniform
so not a guard. Fremea lowers her head and begins to
whimper as if confused and lost.
"You don't belong here." That's it Fremea watches
as the flicker of the candle nears. A bit closer.
"In fact the boss will see to you-"
That's it. If a boss that tends to denote a criminal.
Most humans don't slur their superiors that often. But
criminals do not care. The man gets within reach and]
Fremea turns around. The man reaches for her shoulder
and that's when Fremea twirls and does a side kick to
his chest. The man staggers backward and gasps for
air. The man pulls his sword up for a wild swing but
Fremea ducks under the blow. Charging with her shoulder
she rams the man. She isn't certain this is not some
night guard so she decides not to kill him for now. She
slams the man against the wall.
Fremea steps back a few paces then does a high
kick to knock the man against the wall knocking
him out.
Fremea turns to the noise down the hall. She
moves down further and finds it turning to the right
back to the east. This time she light from one possible
room about 30 feet away. She moves toward the light
and ears muttering and grunts. She hears clinks like
steel on stone. It sounds like hacking of stone like -
like digging up stone.
About 15 feet toward the light a voice is heard.
"I found it!"
"Get it to him now!" Another voice.
Fremea sees some human leave the room and being
running eastward down the hall not even seeing Fremea.
Fremea gets within 5 feet when move forms exit
the room. At least 5 humans enter the hallway
blocking the way down the hallway. The men are
dusty and dirty and drop picks onto the ground
and dust off their clothing. They don't seem to
see Fremea yet. "Three hours finding that stupid
piece of junk. Better be worth it." One of the
men says. Fremea can see the men are wearing
light clothing with swords and some daggers.
Fremea curses that it might be again too late. They
must've just dug up the piece. But if the other one
running down the hallway away from her gets away. She
can't just fly over them the ceiling is too late.
Outside Raban lands feet away from the west door
that Fremea entered.
Back at the warehouse Kiet begins to form a magical
mana sphere as he casts a sending spell. Using his
hands to construct the sphere he casts the spell. he
then projects the message to it and sends it hopefully
toward Unali. "Ozon has captured Will and Kell. Other
faerry too. Come quick. help."
Kiet knows the sphere is slow a man could ride faster
than it on a horse. But for now it will do. If not
get to the others eventually.
Back at the military center Raban and the others look
around. They see the open door and figure this is
where Fremea went. They hope. Raban leads the way
inside but then Z'leyra helps to guide in the darkness.
Back at the warehouse Arawn studies the bouncer. The
alley is dark. As he watches the fascinated man he
sees glimpses of flash in the south. He watches some
more and realizes it looks like lightning. Maybe the
Donaran's called a wizard to douse out the fire with
a storm?
As Arawn turns to Kiet to decide on a plan both men
hear yelling inside.
"...I said kill them all. Then burn it down....too
hot for things now..." Then the voice fades. Arawn
with his keen ears realizes that is Ozon speaking.

report tomorrow. Tired for now after a long day
at work.
