[Recap]
From Dorhak: [Re: Vote]
Dang it...didn't hit the right button.
Well, I'm like pretty new to this so I'm not sure I feel
like right helping make the decision. I think I should not
vote.
GM: Ack. You are new but I always open vote to even new folks.
From Unali: [Re: Actions]
I don have a clear preference, but
1) would prefer an active player centered adventure.
2) An adventure in or near Marentia would be convenient give
most of our homes are there.
3) It would be fun to see why that dwarf is here and what he
was doing in Kameran
This leads to preference order of: 14,12,9,16,1,7,8,5,6,3,4,17
(all other)
GM: Ack. For me active player needs to be close at hand. To
reply to things within a week. As leader this is needed.
Active player should be relatively active role playing
as well with enough posts to get things moving. Quantity
is nice with X lines but as long as concept is conveyed
often then that's fine over 1-2 lines. But would prefer
as much activity as possible if its your adventure as you
are the de facto leader. As to Marentia that's Ba'ru more
or less. I suppose Xian's adventure would technically be
around there sort of kind of. :) Thanks for your vote.
I have such a fun opening for Xian's been working on it
for like 6 years. :) Just gotta find the bad guy
if I can recall his name.
From Kell: [Re; Vote]
I agree with Wout, and adventure for an active player.
My Vote-
1. #9 - Arawn's adventure. What the heck is up with him!!??
2. #16 - Dorhak's adventure. Love them dwarves!
3. #13 - Kiet's adventure. I don't see it necessarily
being in Lemasa, and he is very active so it's time he
gets an adventure.
4. #12 - Kell's adventure. Is his dad alive? Who the heck
was the giant man with flaming red hair? Revenge is
something best served with a sharp spear.
5. #17 - Mystery. Something else entirely, or join 2 or 3 of
the list together.
No more votes.
We can always buy a treasure map in a tavern, recruit a few
bodies, and go dungeon delving... ;)
GM: Ack. For 1 do you mean Arawn or Xian? I want to make
sure you were like saying what is up with Xian? :) Please
clarify. If not will assume Arawn. As to active it
would be you if chosen so no awol stints. :) J/k
Oh you listed #9 so guess that answers that. Actually I
was considering yours. There would be a SLIGHT add for
Kiet. :) But no spoilers. It might tie into 3 other
adventures though. Your choice for #4. Wow. :) I'm curious
on those same questions as I forgot your background. Flaming
guy. Now I want to tune in! Treasure maps isn't that so ...
normal? :) No more votes? At least vote for Cthulu for
President!
From Z'leyra: [Re: Actions]
Z'leyra declares that passing the hills the party would then
head north entering the forest, crossing the river and heading
due north. If we encounter a patrol please let me make the
initial approach.
GM: Ack. That's it. ? No big speech on destiny and fate
and why the Kameran eat dwarfs and faerry? Geesh.
From Pyan: [Re: Actions]
I think some dwarf adventurers with Dorhak sound intersting.
GM: Ack. Thanks.
From Z'leyra; [Re: Actions]
Z'leyra repeats her offer of allowing the Dwarf to use the
necklace to try to learn a language (or later languages plural)
if he cooperates with us using the necklace to learn Dwarven.
GM: Ack.
From Kell: [Re; Actions]
Kell approaches Z'leyra with an idea for the necklace.
"That is an amazing wonder of magic. I have an ...
//this would help kell a ton since his empathy is low\\
GM: Ack. Not sure when all this interaction is done so will
insert it somewhere.
From Z'leyra: [Re: Actions]
Z'leyra tells Kell "I already included improvements to...
GM: Ack.
From Kiet: [Re: Actions]
Kiet says "Well, it's good to know it has those attribute...
GM: Ack.
From Z'leyra: [Re: Actions]
As far as the next adventure goes I abstain from the vote.
One, Z'leyra, Scott only knows what will happen to and with
her. Two, I think I would be happy with any of the choices.
GM: Ack. That surprises me. One I don't know. :) At this
point all could die or all could get a new love interest.
I have a generic idea only. You guys tend to surprise
me and that shifts things. Abstain. Interesting.
From Kell: [Re: Actions]
Kell smiles and replies, "Excellent!" Clapping her...
GM: Ack.
From Kell: [Re: Gift]
[Jan 27 - that night around the fire over dinner] Knowing the party
is a few days away from their destination, Kell speaks to everyone
but mostly to Unali over their meal. "Unali, I know you have only
one magic dagger when you fight. For the Earth Bridge daggers, I
created two. They are both good dirks, solid and good
craftsmanship. If you want, I can enchant and increase it and give
you one. Then when you fight, you can use both magic daggers. What
say you Unali?"
Kell will wait for an answer, but plan to perform the spells for
Unali's dagger this very evening.
"Kiet, I can also craft you a weapon. Dorhak, once possible I offer
my services to craft a magic mace for you. Whilst we are new, all of
us should have the best equipment possible."

[Febris 2nd, 1635TH]
[Zen'da Western Plains]
[Time: 6:41 am]
As the party packs up he asks. "So we are here at the
border. What is the plan now?"
Z'leyra declares that passing the hills the party would then
head north entering the forest, crossing the river and heading
due north. If we encounter a patrol please let me make the
initial approach.
Fuk looks to Lucria and shrugs then back to Z'leyra as
she mounts. "I've read this land is closed and is very
hostile. No words of warning? Caution? I mean you drag
us here to the border after 3 weeks and we assume all is safe.
This is why I read up on this land. Maybe you should at
least warn the others?"
[Time: 7:12 am]
Kell approaches Z'leyra with an idea for the necklace.
"That is an amazing wonder of magic. I have an idea to improve
it for those of us who are not very empathic. Can you add an
Empathy boost to it, while wearing it?"
Z'leyra tells Kell "I already included improvements to both
empathy and will to increase the chance of the person learning
and how much they learn when using the necklace."
Kiet says "Well, it's good to know it has those attribute
enhancements. I don't know if it might interfere with any other
attribute items any of us might have."
Kell smiles and replies, "Excellent!" Clapping her on the
shoulder.
[Time: 7:21 am]
Kiet has been rather curious about the little man. He is
smaller in height than Kiet, but might easily outweigh him, if
not be a good deal stronger. Also, there is the fact that, as
an Elder wizard, Kiet sees some connection there. Especially
with the elemental aspects.
Kiet approaches the dwarf and says in broken Kameran "You have
probably guessed by now that I am a wizard amongst other things.
I am an Elder wizard. I use magics very similar to those of
your brethren. One of the spells I know allows me to learn a
language. If you would consent to me learning your common
tongue, I will attempt it ( it causes no harm to you), but in
exchange, I will ask Z'leyra if she will let you use her magic
necklace to learn Marentian...that is the language we as a group
use in common."
Z'leyra repeats her offer of allowing the Dwarf to use the
necklace to try to learn a language (or later languages plural)
if he cooperates with us using the necklace to learn Dwarven.
"Well,laddie, I've appreciated your helping feed me." "Yes, I
have seen you tossing around fire. What you did to that worm
was, um, what we call a bit excessive!" "Anyway, maybe I do
owe you something for that. If you can convince the lass who
likes to show so much skin to let me use her magic bauble, and
it works for me, then I might agree to teach you." "It might
make things around here easier for me too." Dorhak grins as he
rides or tries to ride on Z'leyra's horse.
"I just wish I had some good drink...something like
Ballbreakers Black Ale. Gods of stone and silence, I would
even consider drinking Ironbellys, it's been so long!"
Kiet's been talking to the dwarf a bit. It's not easy as
neither of them are very good at the one language they have in
common. Kiet comes over to Z'leyra and asks her "Would you
mind if our little friend..." Kiet smiles at this since Dorhak
is the only one in the group smaller than is he!..."if he could
use the language necklace? He really should learn Marentian.
Besides, it will do him some good if he really does head south
like he mentioned."
"This wasn't part of the bargain, lassie. Hmmm..but you have
been generous to allow me the use of your shogging beast..er,
sorry, your horse. At what seems to be inconvenience to you.
I will agree to teach just you, Z'leyra of the Kameri, and Kiet
for his kindness in feeding me this trip. But only the common
tongue."
Fuk leans in toward Lucria and whispers. "Those 3 are very
buddy now. It is odd that the dwarf joined and wants to go back
to a land he was what?..kicked out of?"
Lucria nods, "yes very odd. I'm keeping my eye out on all
of them."
Actions? Comments?
Next Update..Monday??
GM: A short update. Sorry for no Monday update but with working
that day it was hard to finish it. Then last 3 days started
later than wanted so this is very short. I had hoped to
cross the border by now and be halfway there. But nope. So
maybe next week. Once we cross border all retro actions should
be completed. Things will probably slow down going hour by hour
rather than day by day. I am in the process of working with
3 other new players. Adding them in at this point will be
difficult due to the closed land. So may have to be when back
in Marentia. I'll work on some aspects Saturday. But I am
off Monday so will start for sure update monday afternoon
if I can start on time (not late). I had wanted to do far
more but no time now.
Happy Halloween!!!!

* Player did not assign IBT so went with default
If Skill is at Max EL I added points in case CP
increases change the max to a new figure.
GM: Character updates: Been working on cleaning up
sheets. If you need new copies let me know.
Dorhak - Marentian EL11 now based on being around others
This is basically being around folks getting some
experience. But if you use necklace it might be higher?
Actually no! Based on your stats and learning a different
race's language you'd actually get a lower EL. So...
Pyan - Marentian EL70 so you know the language well.
Fremea - Reminder +1 CEL! Congrats
Kell: I started work on that Ebony file and it started
out well but didn't like results so I'll restart.
Hopefully next week? You say above plan to enchant
is this a Will do or a Plan to? So I can process
the spells on 12/27?
Unali - Added missing bag. The gear is a bit messy.
Just before you went away got that first gear resetup
info then got missing before did the second IBT.
So when you returned was too late to do much of the
work so we can redo the messy gear later. But I made
the changes requested from the old emails. :)
Arawn - I will not finish your sheet until you say you are
done with spells up to this point to the border. Since
you often do a spell from 3 months in the past :) So
let me know. If possible by Monday.
BTW in working with new characters I made a asterik * sheet
that might be easier to load. I also learned that the sheet
I use works fine in OpenOffice. Format is kept in place
fine but not in Note/Wordpad. Just something to consider
though I may work on new formats lter.
GM: Votes: Everyone but Arawn, Fremea have voted. Kiet?
did you vote? Seems like you did but I can't find the
email/details?
GM: Necklace: So just to clarify Dorhak will use it on Feb 2
to learn Marentia? Kiet will use magic to learn from
Dorhak? Necklace hasn't been used at all since Dec 3rd
so a bit late for folks to learn Kameran. :< There might
be 2 more chances before get to destination. But probably
just one more after Feb 2 so Feb 3rd open slot and maybe
one more if lucky but doubtful.
GM: Mana Report - Except for Arawn's mana everything is updated
to this point. I will probably clear the experience for
the final leg of adventure next week so view before it
goes away.
GM: Map: Z'leyra did a plot on the final leg. This is a red/orange
line. Can view it now online on my site if interested. It
should only be 2 days of travel.
GM: Bounces: For years I've gotten bounces probably way back
when Chion was in game. These bounces come in about a
dozen at a time. At this point I just delete them as its
not much I can do. It seems some person out there got infected
by a spam virus and their email hijacked. So it tries to
spam folks. The isps bounces all this which is good but
its annoying. I just delete them. So to re explain an
posts not in Recap above or Archives I never got unless
its email and private.
This last week I lost a couple things. What I do is copy
all emails (extract to file) form main pc (email) to this
pc my old clunker where all my pnp stuff is. I then strip
the headers and format posts. Then copy back to a floppy
disk and upload those to my site. This is why a bit of
delay. When I did this time I lost 3 files due to some
confusion and files got zeroed out. I went back to verify
and hope I got it all but if not yell. :)
GM: Final Leg estimated:
Feb 2 -- Plains 15 Miles
Forest 2 miles
River/Crossing
Forest 10 Miles
Camp in Forest
Feb 3 -- Forest 15 Miles
Hills ~25 miles
