[Recap]
From Kiet: [Re: Actions]
Kiet will move toward the 'Spikers' and engage them the same
way I was planning to hit up the apes.
GM: Ack.
From Fremea: [Re: Actions]
Freama keeps feeling for her knife and glad to have the....
GM: Ack.
From Z'leyra: [Re: Actions]
Grasping her staff, Z'leyra casts the Sidh spell Sleep Mist EL0
thru the staff onto the insects and other intruders such as the
bats if she can while avoiding casting it on people.
GM: Ack. Would've been good for action wise but too late came
in too late to deal with. :<
From Z'leyra: [Re: Actions]
Seeing that Raban could use some help Z'leyra casts the Balance
spell Speed on herself at max EL and rushes to aid Raban. There
she will hit apes with her staff to subdue them.
GM: Ack.

[New Stuff]
[Octagi 5th, 1634TH]
[Location: Plains, Donara]
[Time: 7:33:00 pm - Donara City]
Fremea keeps feeling for her knife and glad to have the weight
of her bow on her. She follows, but cautiously, wanting to end
this mad little one, even though he is Fae and she knows the
sacred rule, but he is also mad and seems to think she is on his
side, even if it is just a little bit right now.
"So I'm sure you are curious how your parents got here?"
Varange stops and raises the lantern slightly so his eyes can
be seen. Fremea can see dark blue-gray eyes. "The Royals figured
you had a great destiny. It was not rare to have a marked
one much less two of us then. In fact there have been many.
Most have been loyal and dedicated to the cause. The Royals
have been set in their ways for way too long. Some in the
court felt as I do now then. I actually was very loyal and
still am. Raised to be the human like knight of our people.
I earned my title with hard work.
Rumors spread that maybe the time was good for change. That
with both of us we could lead our people to greatness. A glory
that should already be earned not some myth of yester year. Some
of the court plotted. I was young so did not know the ways of
politics. But I learned this only a few years ago. Seemed
they felt that emotional ties for you...by your parents. Would
be a bad thing - a liability. So they arranged for a fire. Now
we are cursed or blessed depending on your view of our sacred
rule of no harm. So they got outside help. After forcing your
parents to the great forest to stay away from you they did this.
But the Royal Scholar the lowly librarian felt that your
parents would be a good thing to keep. He hired more outside
help to rescue them. But not for your own good. He captured
and kept them safe for some time deep in the great forest.
Then he came across the magical items I seek. The long hidden
archives so deep that even the royals probably forgot them.
He saw opportunity. He learned this place could not be
accessed by us so tricked a Elf to bring your parents here
for safe keeping. Too bad he was disposed of. The sacred
rule doesn't keep the elves safe from us. Though there
is some mixture of bad blood if things like that are done."
He waves a hand dismissively in the air.
He continues down the tunnel, "the scholar was clever as
he didn't seem to alert the higher ups in the Elf clans
of his plot. I suspect if they knew he'd be stopped. Unless
he traded something for it. Don't know.
"The scholar is no warrior. He may be smart but he has no
long sight. I learned of his plot and sought the items myself.
Course I suspect he knows and wants me to get everything
then turn them over." The Lord Marshall laughs loudly. "Well
we shall see if he can deal with me. But he learned the last
piece was here but could not locate the others. But he was
dismayed to find it would take two of us to get it. Something
like a mark he never had would block his plans."
"So tell me that big oaf friend of yours. He ever...you
know..." He waves two fingers around suggestively.
------------
[Time: 7:28:06 pm - Donara City]
[Phase 3]
Z'leyra casts speed on herself to improve her running pace.
Flying outside near the dogs, Corona tries to use his flare
eyes on a dog. But the blast fails to hit the dog.
Squirt tries to bite down on one dog's leg but the dog is
just agile enough to miss the sharp teeth.
The wolf fights back biting one dog doing 9 points of damage
but the dog is still alive.
Two of the dogs lunge for Will. Both get to bite and clamp
down. One though does not penetrate his buckskin armor. The
other dog bites Will on the right middle ribs which is a hard
place for a dog to bite doing 3 points of damage.
One dog tries to bite Squirt but the small animal is too
fast. Two of the dogs attack the wolf and do each 5 and 3
more points of damage wounding him badly.
Raban side steps away from the apes directly in front of him.
He moves toward the right ape #3 and ducks claws at his head.
Ducking he reaches down with his large arms and grabs the ape's
right leg while using his left leg to trip the ape. The Ape
falls down and Raban pushes with his foot and his bare strength
the leg. The strength is enormous and Raban rips the ape's leg
completely off from his hip doing 31 points of damage killing
the ape instantly. Blood gushes in every direction causing
some patrons to scream at the sight.
Unali sees the three Spikers seeming to stalk a set of 3 patrons
trying to run toward the bar. She moves in that directions to try
to prevent this.
Arawn continues toward the bar with shield and sword in hand.
Reaching the nearest bar stool he uses it to raise himself up
and over the bar top jumping behind the bar.
Kell runs forward and moves past the dead ape and pool of
blood. He considered using magic but a whirlwind or other spells
might do more damage to the place than wanted and the group has
to remain not as overt. So he pulls his small tulwar and tries
to stab the second ape. But the tough hide allows only a small
scratch to it.
The last two apes now attack. The one near Kell considers
him not a threat so both attack Raban. One tries to jump over
Raban as he is ducking but as he does the ape goes flying
over as Raban moves to the side causing the ape to fumble
in his action badly. The other ape misses Raban entirely.
Kiet scans the table but sees no more threats. The scorpions
will be just a nuisance that will have to be dealt. But
the insects and snakes are all gone. He runs north toward
the Spikers and behind Unali.
One of the spikers in the middle charges the three patrons
and tries to swing his spiked club at her But her friend
pulls her forward just out of reach allowing the club to miss
her by half a inch.
Etain rushes the boy toward the bar. But he sees the patrons
being attacked by the Spikers and nods toward the bar. He
then runs to join Unali and Kiet.
The other two spikers charge the three patrons and one hits
the brave customer who tried to help the woman. But the
club and hit is so massive it goes deep into his chest killing
the patron instantly. The other fails to hit another patron.
Will sees his wolf seriously wounded and stabs one dog with
his sword killing the already wounded dog.
As Will looks up another shadow from the darkness moves
behind the man who led the dogs. Suddenly the man tenses
as a blade is stabbed through his back. The man falls to his
knee clutching his chest.
The patrons all move in their somewhat random way toward
the bar. The two who were just attacked by the spikers move
a bit faster toward the bar in sheer panic.
[Time: 7:28:09 pm - Donara City]
[Phase 4]
Corona blasts the wounded dog Will hurt and kills him.
The Wolf in his weakened state tries to attack another dog but
does not make any contact.
Squirt bites hard on one of the dog's legs doing 6 points of
searing pain.
The last 3 dogs attack. Two try for Will again but one does
bite his leg doing 2 more points. The others fails to make contact
on Will and the wolf.
With the severed leg of the dead ape Raban turns and uses it
as a club against the first ape. The arm shatters in a mess of
bone, fur and tissue as it breaks apart from his bash. But the
blow is slight and does little to the ape.
Unali reaches the edge of the spikers and tries to swipe at
them from a bit of 3 feet. But the daggers fail to hit the
nearest one.
Arawn runs through the door to the kitchen. Immediately the
smells and sounds indicate as a obvious kitchen. There are
typical items like shelves, stove, cupboards, tables, water
basin and sink. The room is 60 feet long by about 35 wide.
The room is somewhat dimly lit by a couple of lanterns on the
wall. A door to the outside is closed now but from the outside
it was well hidden so as not to be obvious to patrons. There
are three humans. Two males are on the floor. One looks
like he has been stabbed by something. The other shows no
sign of clear wounds but is not moving. The female is on the
left from where Arawn is and blinking and trying to breath.
She looks to be a waitress. The only problem is she is
hanging on a steel hook. The hook looks like a place to hang
animals for flaying or cleaning. The hook is pointing out
of her front between her breasts. Blood is pouring down her
chest wound to pool on the floor. The female sees Arawn and
tries to speak but her breath is shallow a clear sign of near
death. She eyes the druid with pleading eyes but her bloody
hands are around the hook in her chest. She is sitting on
a table rather than hanging as it she sat back onto the hook.
"Hel-..." She coughs up blood. "Still...around." Then
her hands slip to her lap and her eyes close.
Kell stabs Ape #2 doing a few points through his side.
Ape #2 claws at Raban but his armor protects him. But Ape #1
claws at the giant and slashes a deep gash on his neck almost
ear to eat. The giant takes 13 points of damage.
Z'leyra runs forward seeing Raban hurt and gets behind Ape #1
swinging her staff doing 6 points of damage to his back.
Kiet runs forward to help Unali. He ends up about 35 or so feet
from the Spikers. He smiles and raises both hands toward the men.
The three spikers turn their attention from the patrons and eye
Unali. They all swing their spiked clubs but she dodges and weaves
as the blows get close. The luck of her dagger helps.
Will stabs another dog for 5 more damage as he watches the
man fall to his knees a bit confused.
The man in shadow swings his blade and slices the man in front
of Will on his neck finishing him off. The man falls to the
ground dead.
The patrons move and some make it to the bar area to hide.
Actions? Comments?
Next update...Friday
GM: Sorry for delay but was out of my control. I know who to
blame though. I'll do the next 2 phases on Wednesday.
Since this is late no time to turn around another. So
I will work on the Friday update Wednesday afternoon (Thursdays
tend to be hectic to work on it).
At this point 2 Apes remain, 3 spikers and 3 dogs outside.
Raban and Wolf are hurt badly. I pretty much know what
folks will do at this point. So I may just need actions
from Arawn and Z'leyra if need to change tactics. Raban
will probably be disengaging the apes due to his neck
wound.
So far 1 customer dead, possibly 3 staff in kitchen all
dead but not positive.
Most patrons are moving toward the bar. Only 3 for some
reason at S14 are sitting at the table by fireplace. They
are still eating as if this is a floor show but they are
not in dangerous as at least 50 feet from apes and 80 or
so feet from the spikers. All three are young males who
just seem disinterested.
Arawn - If you need a better desciption of Kitchen let me
know I'll email them before Wednesday.
I will do the mana report after the combat.
