[Recap]
From Kiet: [Re: Actions]
"I think we should leave immediately. Honestly, we don't ...
OOC- I have previously opined as to the next adventure...more
than once, I believe....
GM: Ack. Yep. Think your the only one who has voted on the next
adventure. I had hoped more by now. :<
From Arawn: [Re: Actions]
Kotothi Shaman:
Arawn will collect any valuables from the shaman's body.
Mysterious Elf:
As he would have stepped outside to check on Will and the
wolf Arawn should have spotted the mysterious elf or at least
been spotted himself.
If Arawn spots the elf he'll walk up to him and inquire as to
his presence and if he's seen the man (Will) and his wolf
(assuming he hasn't intercepted them prior or in another manner).
Otherwise, if Z'leyra, the innkeeper or Will end up mentioning
the elf Arawn will take a look outside for him.
Leave or Stay:
"There's a hidden backdoor in the kitchen we can sneak...
GM: Ack. Since was in kitchen a lot you missed Will leaving so
would not know of the wolf or elf. He has yet to mention
it at all before he left. So only Will/Corona know of him.
From Z'leyra: [Re: Actions]
After burying most of his wolf Will casts maxEL Purification then
maxEL Enhance thru the wand on each eye in turn and starts the
process of tanning what hide he took. Aftr that he comes back to
the inn, returnes the shovel and finds out where the party is to
be found. Once joined up with the party he asks "What did the Elf
have to say?" "What Elf? Oh, the one that was wondering if we
knew where Varange was to be found."
Z'leyra recovers her weapons and accompanies the party. Ready to
heal any that want or need healing.
GM: Ack.
From Fremea: [Re: ACtions]
Fremea looks at the chaos that ensued inside the tavern. ...
"It is done. Arawn, I have what I came for. There maybe ...
---------------------------------------------------
She retrieves her parents from the hiding place. They meet up
with everyone else. "Arawn, we have somethings to talk ...
"Etain, you can either come with me or there is a place I have been
GM: Ack.
From Kiet: [Re: Actions]
Kiet hears Fremea's plan to leave and says "The city ...
GM: Ack.
From Frema: [Re: Actions]
"None at all." Fremea just smiles at Kiet.
GM: Ack.

[New Stuff]
[Octagi 5th, 1634TH]
[Location: Plains, Donara]
[Tavern]
[Time: 8:00:00 pm - Donara City]
As Fremea stares at the carnage Kiet whispers to the others
before Fremea joins them.
"I think we should leave immediately. Honestly, we don't have
any good reasons or stories to give these guards as to why we
are here. Also, we are hauling around way too much wealth not
to make the guards want to question. How would we explain it
all?"
"I could throw an abandon spell on this guard and then we
could just leave once the others return..."
Fremea looks at the chaos that ensued inside the tavern. She
had no idea how close Raban came to death and only just found out
that Will's wolf died protecting him. She didn't know what the
crazed Kotothi Shaman that Varange used to find the pieces had
done here. But, she did know that her parents are safe now.
With that knowledge in her head, she smiled.
"It is done. Arawn, I have what I came for. There maybe
something else we need to deal with later, but for now, we can
leave quickly and make sure no one knows it was us." She is no
longer what the Royals wanted her to be, she is whole again and
she will keep it that way. "It seems the best thing would be to
leave quickly now. We need to gather everyone together and port
us out of this city to Marentia. The task is done and we all,"she
places emphasize on the all, "need to rest and be safe."
Raban shifts from one foot to other and glances at the Bard
who is admiring a ring on a man's finger.
Raban heads that way to speak one last time to the bard. As
he passes the waitress he hands her a coin. He whispers
to her and she giggles. She then rushes off to the players
table. Then Raban heads toward the bar to say good bye to
the bard.
Kiet hears Fremea's plan to leave and says, "The city guard
isn't going to let us waltz out the door, and he fought
bravely. I will cast 'Abandon' on him then there won't be any
problem with him. Any problem with that plan?"
"None at all." Fremea just smiles at Kiet.
"There's a hidden backdoor in the kitchen we can sneak out of
if we're leaving," Arawn offered.
"Fremea, is there a need to rush out?," he asked the faerry.
Unaware of her adventure he couldn't be sure if the clock was
ticking in regards to Varange and the elven relic.
Then Arawn piees it together. Fremea is smiling so much so
he almost wonders if under a spell. Then he recalls what
she just said. All is done? All is done! He begins to
smile and nods. Realizing her parents must be found and
above all safe.
Raban returns and looks at the waitress who is now cleaning
their table of dishes. "I asked her to remove our stuff
in case the guards can track us using the food and such
we touched. She will mix it with others and will be too
difficult to track us."
Kiet heads over to the pacing city guard who stares out
the window. The guard is mumbling to himself asking where
the others are. Kiet quietly casts his spell upon the
guard. By now the party has moved toward the bar an dgotten
behind it.
The guard suddenly stops and looks around. Then heads
a bit slowly toward the north east. Kiet figures they
will have maybe a minute maybe minute and a half to get
free.
The crowd is also getting anxious asking the bar keep
why they can't return to seats at least or leave. In
the distraction the party enters the kitchen.
The guard suddenly turns and heads west toward the
other side of the room.
Kiet reaches the kitchen door and enters. Those who
have not seen the carnage see the dead female. Z'lera
can't help but to scan her but finds no hope.
The party heads out into the dark alley and quickly
toward the rear at a jog.
By now Will and Kell are still missing but Corona is
nearby and can help find them.
Heading west Fremea leads the group down the dark street.
Corona begins a wide aerial sweep to find Kell. But the
elf can use the shadow to his advantage.
As they leave the tavern, Fremea finds out that Raban was almost
killed again by apes. "My sweet Raban, you have always protected
many people with your largeness, but you need to protect yourself
a little better." She winks at him and actually laughs.
As they Raban nods and pats Fremea gently on the shoulder. But
Fremea and Arawn can sense a different thing going on with
Raban. But there is no time for it now.
Now half a block away the party begins to slow down. But
Corona spots the elusive half-elf moving down the street from
the other direction. Corona swoops low and Kell seems to
understand and follows the bird.
Three blocks away Fremea begins to grin a bit more. She
points to a dark building. She removes her dress and tells
the group to wait She flies up to meet her parents again.
Fremea lands near her parents and waves. But Saya approaches.
"Your friend just left. Quite cute he was! Maybe you two
could ...you know..."
Anorlic nudges his wife. He then hands Fremea a folded
parchment. "He wrote this and left it for you."
Fremea unfolds and quickly reads the letter. She uses
the dim star light to read but for her it seems easy. Then
she stops and looks around. She finds a bag near Saya and
opens it. Her eyes go wide and she closed the bag and
fnishes reading it. She looks to the sky and all around
the streets.
Varange was just here? Her parents are not dead so that
is a plus for him. She grabs the bag and waves for her
parents to join her on the ground.
Saya and Anrlic stare at the party with some unease.
Fremea does the introductions.
Raban steps up and bows toward Saya. He grabs her
hand and kisses it. "I can see where your daughter
got her looks." He smiles and backs away.
Saya coos and giggles. She leans and whispers to Fremea.
"For a human he is cute! Tall as a tree too!"
"Arawn, we have somethings to talk about later." Fremea
nods toward Arawn.
"Etain, you can either come with me or there is a place I have
been told about that you can find help with 'retiring' from all
of this. I understand you now. It is a shame that you have lost
so many years to me. I would be honored to help you live your
own life again."
Etain steps forward and stares a few seconds. "In our
travel your friends said you were from Marentia? Is
this the place you speak of? I am a teacher. I understand
Marentia is not hateful of Sidh but a bit more tolerant.
I think It was...Kell who said Kaylle is even a librian
in that world. I would be honored to help teach and even
help Kaylle. Unless this place is not what you speak of?"
Before Fremea could reply, Kell enters the area. Fremea
does the introductions. Then Kell turns to Fremea. "I
bribed the boy off but it won't take long for the guard
to send another runner. Where is....Will?"
[In the west...]
Will wipes his face from the sweat of the burial and the
tears. Processed the skin for later tanning which will
take days. He places the eyes gently away and stands up.
To the side Squirt is quiet. The animal is amazed how
odd the man cut his own friend up.
But Will ignores him and looks west into the darkness.
He is a woodsman and will always be. Being in a city is
as strange as Fremea would be openly in the Donaran Palace.
To the west the Wild Forest is one of the largest forests
in the world. He found this group in the large Chosahi
forest but is unsure which is bigger. To be though in the
Wild Forest might be a new life. Should he return to the
city and the smells of Marentia?
Will grabs his gear and quietly heads back east.
[A mile west of tavern...]
As the group starts to talk to Fremea's parents, Corona
tells Fremea he will go search for Will and guide him here.
Raban pulls Fremea to the side and whispers. "I am very
glad you found your parents. This last week has been...
trying. Almost dying twice in a week by apes in the
same manner has made me think." He pauses and looks sad
but watches the others who seem happy. "I actually started
out in this country as a green bard. The death of that
slave girl also affected me. I would follow you to the
ends of the world. But with this mission done....I need
to consider things. If you allow me to release from your
charge I will stay here. I have friends in the east in
Xian. I need to get back to basics. Consider my own
path in this world. I am truly sorry to even ask. But
if you still need me I will stay. I know that my body
is very obvious. The guards would be looking for it. But
the bard in the tavern can smuggle me out. The bard network
here is actually better than in Marentia. I could be out
of the city by sunrise. But again if you need me to return
to Marentia I will do so."
[Time: 8:09:21 pm - Donara City]
Actions? Comments?
Next update...Friday?
GM: Ok. I was waiting for some stuff from Tobie to finish
and he was sick so that delayed things. Once the party
reutnrs to Marentia the adventure ends. Then its the
long cleanup and transition period. Only problem is
Arawn wants to track down Will and prevent him from
doing the wolf stuff. If John wants this done then
I will have to retroactive the stuff. It would change
a bunch of minor stuff. Best resolve everything now before
party teleports home. Another reason for delay was some
behind scenes emails me and Tobie did.
GM: Arawn - Will wait and see what John wants.
Fremea - Raban has a need but will go with whatever you
say to stay with the party or sepearate fo rnow. He
will eventually return to Marentia. But it might not
be for the next adventure unless you need him.
Will - Alex ask John if he wants to save the wolf and
resurrect him. The whole wolf thing was a very
private matter. He died saving Will. If the wolf
was not there Will might not be. If no saving then
will continue and I'll process the final spells.
Also may want to go ahead and ask if he wants to
play the next one. Out of 538 or so posts he only
sent in 7 in the lst 1.5 years. I know he is busy
with his new business. But if he wants to take a break
until things settle let me know. As a npc I'd simply
retire him. He could return later. It would help
stremline party with just active pcs. I gave a sort of
way out with the forest comments above. He could reutnr
to Marentia or the Wild Forest or somewhere else. By
no means am I kicking him out. But it is time to decide
his future. :)
GM: People file updated with Fremea's parent's names.
GM: Teleporting home.
Raban may stay unless Fremea wants it.
Will could leave or return.
Etain may go or stay depending on Fremea's info on the place.
Otherwise that leaves 6 to teleport home. I'm too tired
to do the math on distance form Donara city to Sivas.
(Bonus points for those who want to do it :) - Just kidding).
But I suspect it will taek 2 high level teleports. So who
wants to do it?
GM: Reminder to vote on next adventure (see link on website or
the recent post. I will not be able to determine IBT time
until I have some idea on next adventure.
