[Recap]
From Z'leyra: [Re: Actions]
The GOD has spoken....
Z'leyra decides that she should go to Ticasi, use her magic to
find out what caused the fire that killed her father and
perhaps see what caused other interference with his plans.
Should facts require it she will attempt to see that justice
is done. She will then wish to visit her family in the Kameran.
She will ask the party to join her. She plans to practice a
lot of magic.
GM: Ack. Wise God sounds to me! So only one vote? No 2nd or 3rd??
Ok. Well we have a majority then. Looks like it will be
your adventure. With 4 votes. But Wout you can still vote
for formal sakes if you wish. In the next few days I'll try
to determine the IBT time then. But I gotta review the
background and cultures a bit. Since it is winter it might
not be till spring. We shall see. But keep in mind pushing
Akasha to EL12 may not give the results you want. But a EL0
might. Power means little to me. I personally endorse the
underdogs better than the demi-gods. Not on purpose but by
my own leaning to them. You might have a 200% chance for doing
something but in my universe there is always a critical failure
or fumble. Hold a knife to a throat easy kill eh? Well maybe
your hand slips and you lose your balance makins
g the knife go
down and away. Your easy kill is not a struggle. But on the
other side a critical win could just be a MM of the knife scraps
skin and hits that one kink and kills the man with the least
amount of blood in human history. Never know. :) As to doing
a lot of magic makes me more inclined to do shorter IBTS. :)
But at this point the adventure isn't known yet so it may not
be a factor to call for help on it till the end of IBT..

Do you know anything about this elf?"
GM: Ack. The wolf would probably regenerate in a few days easy.
But if you come back to him that means I'd have to get a details
IBT form John. I don't think he has the time to do so in order
to match up locations. :< but we can try.
From Kiet: [Re: Definitions]
In my work world, GOD is the Graphics Organizational
Director... .heehee
GM: Ack. In my universe which BTW is the only universe of
any merit God is Games Operational Director. Me. The
big poo-bah. Bow and grovel.

[New Stuff]
[Octagi 5th, 1634TH]
[Donara Capital City Streets - West side of town]
[Time: 8:34:18 pm - Donara City]
Arawn stroked the wolf's fur, wishing for the time needed to
allow his divine magick to replenish the canie's strength, but
with the news of Will's imminent departure realizing that such
might not be. As with Raban Arawn expressed a heartfelt goodbye.
Though he had been a quiet man Will was a woodsman and had a
kinship with animals that the Alfar admired.
"Perhaps once the others are settled in Marentia I can return
and see to restoring your wolf-kin's strength through prayer,"
he offered. And, at the least, I would like to visit at least
once to check if it pleases you."
Arawn hears Will talk about the mysterious elf. Course Arawn
knows that Will had things on his mind so warning them now could
be forgiven.
The mysterious elf's appearance intrigued Arawn and he greatly
wished that he had been informed of him earlier. Why had he
appeared was it Varange or the artifact that he had been
tracking? Or was it something else that drove him? The Alfar
could attempt to track him but would it be worth and was it
already too late?
"Does anyone know where he went?"
Fremea seems to glare briefly at Arawn. The Alfar seems to
be so fascinated by everything
Kell shrugs, "he may be chasing Varange. Which is a good
thing for us. Rather not have them chasing us. I just got
this new pair of underwear and don't want to mess them up.
I suspect Varange has diverted them away though he could
be sending them back to us any second."
The call to uncover mystery tore into the druid and he
wondered... hoped that whatever it was Fremea wished to discuss
would illuminate the elvish enigma. Giving her a surreptitious
glance he waited till the others were distracted before
whispering to her.
"Do you know anything about this elf?"
Fremea perks up at news that she hasn't considered. If the
Elves return they could have some dangerous stuff to answer or
deal with. So she claps her hands and moves forward. She
tells everyone it is time to leave.
Arawn sighs and looks around one last. As the others gather
he hopes Will can get away. But it is dark and he should be
fine. Will seems unconcerned since if the Elf wanted him
dead he would've been dead by now.
The group of 9, Squirt and Corona gather close by. The
party suddenly realizes the humans are outnumbered. Wit
only 3 humans thee are 2 Elves, 1 Half=Elf and 3 Faerry
now. Things have changed so much since the days of Clima
when it was all human.
Arawn casts his spell and the group translocates to the
roof of the Library in Sivas. The nearby bird cages are suddenly
a flutter of bird noises startled by the sudden arrival. The
group takes a deep gasp due to the lose of air from the large
distance teleported. But the party all except thew new Fae
are used to it.
[Time: 8:35:00 pm - Donara City]
Saya and Anorlic look around and see different lights all
over the place. The stars are pretty much the same but
seem slightly shifted every so slightly that only keen eyes
will figure out like those of the Fae.
Kell raises a hand to them, "welcome to Sivas, Marentia."
Saya sniffs the air, "it certainly smells different. Is it
safe for us here?"
Kell nods, "Sidh are known here. Not in great numbers. The
fae may be one in a 5,000 or the Elves maybe 1 in 3,000 if I
were to guess. There is the usual bias but people are more
open to our kind. I'm sure Fremea will let you know of places
to go and avoid here in the city."
Kell yawns, "well I think I will find a nice place for the
night. Shall we maybe meet soon to figure out our treasure
assortments? Maybe Cholan's tavern. Now...how do I get down
from here..."
Actions? Comments?
Next update...Friday...maybe...
GM: Adventure #6 - "Legacy" is over. I hope one can understand
the title now. :) I said I'd teleport folks Monday. But
tomorrow (doing this Saturday) is 5/1. I'm weird but I
like nice round dates. So 6/1 not 6/2. So I went and
got this out tonight. So don't expect a update Monday.
Adventure #7 website will be replacing the current one
soon. This game lasted 18 months which in pbem terms is
fast. Thanks Tobie! Hope you guys had fun. It was
more a rp thing than a combat like the Vong stuff. I
try to change it up. I have a LOT of stuff behind the
scenes to work on. So while there may not be updates for
many days or week or two I am working on things. I'll try
to get updates on the well updates. This was
This adventure was 140 updates with 552 files. The last
one was 270 updates and 1571 files taking 3 years and 8
months compared to 18 months.
Course we had more players. It is sad to see John/Raban
die on us. That was a great loss. Mark/Kells just went
missing. Floyd wow he was in the game Just realized that
base don roster. I get now tons of bounces of his email
account. I need to remove him from game list now. He just
went missing. Robert/Strie'bog got like John S super busy
with his job. These are things a GM has to deal with. If
you sign up to a pbem it could be 18 months or 3 years. You
do not need to post daily or even once a month. But it does
help. But we've lost some good folks. Now with John S too
busy to play maybe he can return later. This is only a game
so we have to let real life stuff take the lead. One of my
favorite D3 podcasts one of the main hosts just left due
to real life stuff. Sometimes its sad but it happens.
Those for all those who have stuck to it. Above all just
have fun. I do. I may complain about the time taking
away from my own free time but its a major stress relief.
GM: Next adventure - With Alex's vote I guess we have a majority.
I know David wanted group to ride up there. But we'll see.
IBT will begin Octagi 6. But do not plan anything detailed.
You can do rough outlines. But I need to decide on things
before I figure out if its a day of IBT or a year.
I will be making some changes as well to rules. As we
progress in these adventures I've added more rules and
restrictions to decrease the godly factor of the pcs.
For example I may restrict IBT magic to common sense
magic. Doing say Resurrection practice 30 times a day
will not be possible. You'd have to kill someone first.
I will be taking into account the gods for this later.
Testing a simple Fire Dart is one thing. But doing 20
Death Power spells may not be good. Bottom line is
the use of common sense. If you go and destroy crops and
then use spells to save those crops the gods might see
that as annoying. Going to a hospital and healing every
patient might make some gods happy but it would draw the
attention of others.
I touched on the Reputation factor before long ago.
Each person will have a rep for the gods, for the people and
maybe one for bad guys. Think of it like the old Star
Wars Dark Side Points. Use too many dark side powers and
you turn sith and your character is npc. Not that drastic
but it means more attention is paid by the gods. These
figures will always be private for me only Someone
like Raban would have a high rep mainly as a giant for
the people but low for the gods and enemy. So he can
get away with more magic but may not get as much away
by the populace. Keep this in mind for IBT. Those who
seek glory in fighting arenas for 3 months straight might
get a rep factor for the populace but a wizard who casts
Fire darts to become EL20 might get a different rep but
if he uses death powers to kill little dogs then he would
get a bad rep by the law gods and may be on the list to
take out some day while the Chaos gods might ant to recruit
him for their own needs. That sort of thing. I may get
more on this later on in the next weeks. So stay tuned...
Oh dear. Just noticed the Adventure Timeline file is
not updated in ages. Ugh. This will take some doing
to update. Dang! That's around 3 months of time to
flesh out in a summary form. That alone will take time.
GM: My schedule -
* CP Processing - Already done and emails sent.
* Character sheet updates and then send them out.
* Wait for final votes to decide IBT time and next adventure.
* Finalize notes/loot
* Finalize some scenes I typed up not seen in updates.
* Start research on map makers and stuff for next adventure
* Clean this old computer off of pnp and move to new computer
* Start on IBT time events
* Start working on Adventure Outline
So a ton to do. But I suspect IBT will last till end of Summer
so we have time for down time.
