[Recap]
From Kiet: [Re: Actions]
OOC - some of this is speculative...if it works, please use
it...
IC- After the last ape is down and obviously dead, Kiet kicks
it hard in the head and mutters something about "damnable things".
He looks over to the guard and asks him "Are you OK?" The guard
nods his head and grunts while holding his arm to his chest wound.
"Thanks for the help." He obviously means all of us as he then
weakly smiles.
Kiet looks over to Z'leyra and says "Would you help patch up
this brave man?" Then Kiet turns to the ape and wipes off his
blade then sheathes it. Then spits on the corpse.
He digs into his things and pulls out his wand and looks over
to Kell and says "Back me up on this? Something is very much
not right over there" as Kiet nods over to the table of men who
didn't move from their table.
Kiet heads over to toward the table with a grim look on his
face And when he gets in range of them prepares an EL2 Tumble
spell.
(If they don't react to Kiet moving in their direction, Kiet's
expression gets very angry and disgusted...and he fully plans to
punish these fools for their inattentiveness with the spell)
Kiet does not trust these three. He will cast the spell thru the
wand.
GM: Ack.
From Z'leyra: [Re: Actions]
Will yells "I need a healing spell for my wolf!" Then in
response to the Elf's question "Not hardly, we're trying to find
him."
Z'leyra grabs her staff and upon hearing Will's yell will go
and attempt to cast a max EL healing spell on his wolf thru her
staff.
GM: Ack.
From Fremea: [Re: Actions]
Fremea sees the new threat. "You will help me with this now!...
<Does this creature sense as Kotothi or Elder?>
GM: Ack.
------------------------------------------------------------
[New Stuff]
[Octagi 5th, 1634TH]
[Location: Plains, Donara]
[Inside the Elven Vault]
[Time: 7:45:22 pm - Donara City]
Fremea sees the new threat. "You will help me with this now!
Or I will never help you with anything!" She flies straight at
the beast with her daggers out, attacking immediately to make
sure it does not go for her parents.
Fremea yells her warning to Varange as she flies. The words
echo through the thick cavern. She considers using her bow
but it might hurt her parents. Curse the Marshall! Did he
know? He seemed surprised as Fremea.
Varange weighs his options. For years he has worked virtually
alone. His ultimate goal is best for his people.. Sadly
it would make him an enemy if her parents died. But the piece
can't be left behind.
As Fremea flies away Varange takes to the air toward the piece.
He lands in seconds and slams a coin onto the piece. The piece
disappears to a location he has planned. But that was his
backup coin. Now if he can't use his last coin he is doomed
here. Maybe both of them are.
[Phase 1]
Fremea flies and crosses right over her dad. She lands
a foot away from the beast and slices with her dagger but
the beast moves his head just in time.
The beast takes to the air and circles above the stands
where her parents are. It eyes Varange to the south. Then
it growls and dives toward Fremea. The tusks come straight
for her head but Fremea uses her skills to duck and roll out
of the way.
Varange turns toward the beast. He raises his repeating
crossbow but the Fae below is right there. He grunts and
flies toward the fray.
Fremea's dad gets to his feet seeing this odd event around
him. Confused as one minute a Fae was standing here forcing
them to stand and wait and the next this. What is going on?
The dad moves toward Saya.
------------
[Tavern]
[Time: 7:28:30 pm - Donara City]
The bard gives Raban a drink of wine and Raban sits up and
looks around.
Unali hears Arawn's yell and heads for the kitchen.
Kell looks around the tavern and sees all but maybe 3-4 patrons
behind the bar and those still sitting by the fireplace. He
scowls at the people still eating.
Will bangs on the window and yells. "I need a healing spell for
my wolf!" He hopes Z'leyra or someone hears and turns around
to stare at the darkness.
Even with her boosted speed Z'leyra grabs her staff and heads
toward the door. But its some distance away. It could take
10-15 seconds and for a mortal wound that may be too slow.
Kiet kicks the nearest two apes in the head and mutters,
"damnable things." He then turns to the guard, "Are you OK?"
Inside the kitchen Arawn uses his memory to head toward the
sink. He uses a pitcher of water to wash his eyes. It doesn't
seem to do damage but it is a blinding agent. A low down
dirty trick that scum uses.
The guard nods his head and grunts while holding his arm to
his chest wound. As he does this he looks behind Kiet's shoulder
toward the men still eating by the fireplace.
Will sees Corona circling above. Then in response to the Elf's
question "Not hardly, we're trying to find him." Hen he glances
at Squirt who seems fine. Then kneels to check on the wolf. Where
is help?
The entire combat lasted 30 seconds maybe a couple more so
it was fast. But Kiet glances around and speaks to the guard.
"Thanks for the help." He obviously means all of us as he then
weakly smiles.
Kiet looks over to Z'leyra and says "Would you help patch up
this brave man?" Then Kiet turns to the ape and wipes off his
blade then sheathes it. Then spits on the corpse.
Arawn cleans his eyes enough to looks around. He rushes to
the impaled female but sadly finds her dead. She might have
saved him by her warning. Arawn kneels down and checks the
two on the ground. One is dead but the other seems only to
be knocked out no other wounds.
Kiet digs into his things and pulls out his wand and looks
over to Kell and says. "Back me up on this? Something is very
much not right over there," as Kiet nods over to the table of men
who didn't move from their table.
But the city guard is already moving toward the table. "You
three!"
Z'leyra reaches the door and exits the tavern.
------------
[Inside the Elven Vault]
[Time: 7:45:30 pm - Donara City]
[Phase 2]
Fremea is happy to see Varange finally joining in. But
that gives her a chance. She flies toward her parents.
With the beast distracted she hands her mother the coin.
She grabs her dad's arm and tells him to hold tight. Then
she taps the coin and closes Saya's hands.
But Fremea is surprised when grabbing her parents she
does not teleport away. She grits her teeth as she sees
her parents teleported away. Did Varange trick her making
it only for 2 people? Did she do something wrong. She
growls and turns toward Varange.
The beast claws at Varange's left wing and draws a very
minor wound as they tumble back and forth in an aerial dance.
Varange swipes with his sword and does a slight wound
to the guardian's left flank. As he does from the corner
of his eye he sees the parents leave. His obligation is
completed.
[Phase 3]
Varange raises a hand and out spouts a fire dart that
hits the beast in the right shoulder doing 20 points
of damage. The beast howls in pain and stumbles off
course and away from Varange in the air.
Fremea tries to fly behind the beast and stab but
the erratic maneuver of the beast causes her dagger
to miss.
The beast expels a puff of gray mist from his mouth
toward Fremea but she is able to do a corkscrew dive
away from it just in time.
------------
[Tavern]
[Time: 7:28:33 pm - Donara City]
Unali weaves through the patrons at the bar and enters
the kitchen to find the door blocked.
Arawn looks up to see Unali but realizes he is invisible so
warns her of his presence. He checks the shaman's body
to ensure he is dead.
Z'leyra reaches the wolf and finds no pulse. She casts
her spell quickly but nothing happens. She checks the
wolf again and finds no pulse. The bites themselves are
mostly superficial but even a thousand tiny bees can kill
a man if enough. She knows the spell worked and has no
doubt it did not fail. But she glances at Will with
a grim face. She shakes her head. The wolf must've been
dead for too long. In fact maybe if it got help ten seconds
or sooner maybe it might've lived. But it is beyond hope.
Will drops his sword and stares at his dead wolf. To be
killed by dogs of all things. It even handled a small
storm dragon! But the wolf might've saved him. If the
five dogs gained up on him he would probably be dead now.
Kiet heads over to toward the table with a grim look on his
face. With the guard in front he begins to speak the words
of a spell under his breath holding the wand.
The city guard nears the table. "Why didn't you move to the
bar?"
The three men look up. They look surprised. "Huh?" Another
puts down his fork with steak on it. "I thought.."
Kiet casts his spell.
The third man who is drinking ale from a mug suddenly drops
the mug and it goes flying away. The first man feels dizzy
and begins to grab his head. The third man with the steak
tries to stand confused but finds his feet taken from him
and he falls to the table and off it.
------------
[Inside the Elven Vault]
[Time: 7:45:33 pm - Donara City]
[Phase 3]
The beast turns toward Fremea and uses his claws to scrap
down the back of Fremea doing 6 points of damage.
With anger boiling over Fremea flies up and around the
beast. She lands on his back and reaches forward to
slice the beast's neck.
The cut is deep and the beast tries to buck but his
strength ebbs. The beast does a dive toward the ground
and slams into the cave floor.
Fremea hovers in the air as she escaped the beast just
in time. She glances over to Varange who smiles and
then disappears.
With anger boiling over Fremea yells a battle cry that
Ben'dar would recoil from. She lands and ensures the
beast is dead. She then flies toward the piece and
from the air sees it is gone! She yells again.
She lands and realizes she might not be able to escape
from this place. Then a glint is seen in the distance
some 30 feet away. She heads there and finds a coin.
Another teleport coin?
Noises are heard from the tunnel she came from. It
is muffled but they sound like 2-3 people? But they
have clipped tones like...Elves.
She reaches down and grabs the coin and taps it.
------------
[Tavern]
[Time: 7:28:37 pm - Donara City]
The guard stops moving forward and glances around. He
is confused by this turn of events. Then Kiet reaches
a hand and holds his shoulder and pretends to look a bit
confused but wary to approach.
"We thought...it was part of the ..." The man holding
his head still in his chair muffles through his fingers.
"entertainment!"
The third man holds the side of the table and the other
chair trying to balance himself feeling sick. "This is
the capital! Shows like this happen a lot. Like in the
Danpree Plex! Wasn't this all a show?"
The guard scowls. "You idiots! One gal just died. Does
this look like a show?" He pulls up his arm to show
the gash on his arm.
-----------
[Time: 7:45:40 pm - Donara City]
Darkness hits Fremea. She tumbles away just in case
this is a trap. Her eyes adjust. She looks around. Her
back aches from the wound but she looks around with her
dagger in hand. But no one is here. She seems to be
in a ravine of some sort with stone all around. Could
she still be near the Mordara Mines?
Fremea curses and kicks a stone so hard it shatters up
against a boulder. She takes to the air and up past the
ravine walls. In the distance seems to be woods and the
city to the east. But in the woods she notices a faint
light. She flies toward that and hears voices.
"...what is going on?"
"I don't know beloved. Who were they and that beast?"
Fremea's heart drops as she hears her dad's voice and
her mother's. Cautiously she circles form the air around
the trees and sees a lantern below with her parents. But
there is no sign of the Marshall. She then realizes that
ravine must've been his escape point. Away from the
parents and her. But that would mean he escaped by either
magic himself and left her his last coin? Means she
used his escape coin. Or maybe he is still back n the
cavern just invisible? Playing another trick?
But with those elven voices coming she might not be
able to explain herself in the cavern. Not with her
parents possibly in danger.
She lands on a limb high above her parents. What
to do now? It has been 21 or even maybe 22 years
since she was a small infant. That means for 2 decades
they must've been tracked there by the Scholar. Clearly
she will not be recognized. The anger fades away as she
hears both murmur and comfort each other.
As Fremea stares down at her parents some 40 feet away she
suddenly becomes nervous. What should she say? Will they
even take her as a person?
Actions? Comments?
Next update...Monday...
GM: Wow. That was a fun update. I had rough ideas but
even I was surprised on how I did things. A GM can
plan but even some things can be a surprise when you
unfold it (write it). With 400 lines far more than
I also figured. But we are a good place to stop for
now. Consider this the Friday update. IF I get
posts I can work on it Saturday but else I'll do
some Monday.
GM: Mana report done - Online. Congrats to Raban and Kiet
for encounter results (see chart). Any entries with a *
are new for this report. So far only Raban and Fremea
are lightly wounded with the wolf sadly dead.
