[Recap]
From Z'leyra: [Re: Actions]
Ignoring the horrible smells Z'leyra attacks the
shapechangers offensively.
GM: Ack. But avoiding smells that you have a STRONG phobia against
is not just saying 'ignore'. Not that simple. So need to
elaborate on this simple method.
From Mae: [Re: Actions]
Maelorna can hear one other than Shifter #2 yell out a...
"Again love," she commands him indicating Shifter #4 who ...
GM: Ack.
From Pyan: [Re: Actions]
"aAHH" Pyan crys out in anguish as fake-Kiet stabs him. He
look at fake-
Kiet and says, "Why-Why are you so mean?" He then collapses to
her knees.
GM: Ack. Yep. That was the fun part but we move on to
reality. :) Glad to see your still around.
From Mae: [Re: Actions]
Maelorna can hear one other than Shifter #2 yell out....
        Â"Again love," she commands him....
GM: Ack. Those characters in your email and sometimes Alex's
emails are annoying. I don't edit them here. But do
in the body if I see it. Not sure why it is from certain
emails. I don't get it from the other players.

[New Stuff]
[Febris 9th, 1635TH]
[Time: 5:01 pm]
[Unknown Location]
[Audience Room - Current room]
[Phase 7]
Fremea high above the bull-Shifter allocates and casts a
spell to fascinate the shifter seeing how well it worked for
Mae. She speaks the words carefully and gestures toward the
shifter. Then mentally she tells the shifter to lower his
arms.
Z'leyra tries to will herself to control the odd smells
all around her. Seeing that Tusk-shifter is attacking three
she uses her fast boots and charges the shifter. Using her
magical great sword she slashes toward the shifter but the
smell, heat and wild swing forces her to miss by a half inch.
Maelorna can hear one other than Shifter #2 yell out a threat.
'Are you kidding me, another braggart?, she thinks to herself,
while giggling playfully as Zin goes to work tearing Shifter
#4's flesh asunder. "Again love," she commands him indicating
Shifter #4 who still seems to have a little life left, if the
twitching of his body is an indication.
She sighs as her delight in seeing the shifter #4 dying is
interrupted and narrows her gaze and gives the girl a playful
smile, a sense of Deja Vu hits her, 'Had they done this before?'
she thinks.
She can only guess by the girl's yammering and gestures that
the girl desires the dagger in Maelorna's hand. She rolls her
eyes and throws the dagger point first into the ground at the
girl's feet. "Fine, you want it, have it." as she ignores the
girl from that point on, flexing her wings in order to take
flight, turning her attention back to Zin as he plays with her
meal.
'Again, I want more. I want it all!' the ever present voice
demands. Maelorna just fed, she can feel the cravings of hunger
fill her mind, knows she's full, 'But the hunger is still there,
'why?' she mentally questions.
As the words, she spoke to Lucria spring forth and she
mentally curses, the promise she made was broken, but did it
matter? survival appeared less than optimal. Was she the
monster, the demon she appeared as? Arawn had suggested taking
it slow and easy but Zin had forced her to confront her more
childish motives, she hated to confront her more possessive
nature and had been more than willing to work at keeping Lucria
as hers was. However, in less than a minute, she had lost control
and there would be no taking it slow and easy with the group. If
they survived this, as she would only be a monster in their
eyes, even if after this attempting to hide her nature within
her human half. Thus far Arawn had accepted her, perhaps if
she can aid him or as her thought's turn darker and an evil
knowing smile crosses her lips, 'Make a toy of the first
braggart Shifter #2.
The cold anguish of the hunger rears it's head again and
after the first taste, she wants more and after the taste she
had, she fights the urge to giggle playfully as she takes wing
to get a better view for him.
Unali kneels and twists her dagger in her hand and begins
to stab Shifter #4 in the head. She had hoped to separate
the shifter's head from his shoulder but the tough naturally
tough flesh would ruin her dagger. She stabs a half dozen
times before she realizes the shifter is not moving. As she
stabs she speaks out. "Mae, Zin, what does it take to stop him
truly?"
Suddenly Kell enters the room followed by Kiet. Kell
glances around and takes in the scene. Kell sees Unali
and glances at Kiet. "That is the one you think of a lot?"
Then he glances back north and sees a Shifter holding his
doggleganger.
Tusk-Shifter #3 has four targets. Fuk, Mournath, Dorhak and
Z'leyra. The shifter chooses and thrusts his tusks right
at Mournath. But Mournath sees it and side steps forcing
the sharp tusks to miss.
Fake-Kiet looks at Real-Kiet and knows the time is up.
The shifter looks to the east past Pyan and then
notices Fake-Kell by Real-Kiet. Seeing no one giving
up their weapons he calls their bluff. Using his spiked
arm he impales Kell in the left ribs and tosses Real-Kell
to the ground near the gear pile.
Shifter #2 lowers his arms and turns to face Fremea
who grins.
Zin stops moving toward Shifter #4 as he can sense
it's death. Zin can hear Unali but is not given the
order to reply.
Arawn now holding his transmuted finger-baton with the
transmuted-welded Cryx on top curses mentally. Seeing
Kell fall he had hoped to save him. He had hoped to do
a Translocate spell and free Kell from the shifter's grasp.
But it seems the spell failed. He moves invisibility toward
the west. As he passes the pile of gear he uses his foot
to shuffle it and hopefully distract Fake-Kiet. Raising
the Cryx-Baton he approaches Fake-Kiet. He thrusts right for
the shifter's chest. But at the last instant the shifter
forms a hole around the spot he thrust at. Arawn then
has a bad feeling about what is going on.
On the ground Kell grabs his left side and glances up to
see Fake-Kell and Kiet. Why would his best friend do this
and why is he standing there now? He murmurs to himself
disappointed. "Why?" Then collapses from the pain onto his
face.
Mournath stabs his spear right back at Tusk-shifter #3
doing a simple point of damage to his hide.
Fuk thrusts his sword at Shifter #3 but misses as well.
Pyan rounds from Fuk and come behind Shifter #3. Using
his spear he stabs and hits the shifter's right arm doing
a massive 17 points shattering flesh and tissue that would've
broken bones if shifters had bones.
Kiet glares at Fake-Kell and hopes Unali did not hear his
comments. Then he sees his friend Real-Kell fall and his
heart breaks when Kell asks why. "NO!!" Kiet screams at the
Fake-Kiet and raises his arms. Then he realizes he only has
one of his rings.
Z'layha glances at Mae who throws the dagger down.
She unflexes her hand not ready for a spell. Maybe later
when things settle down. She bends and grabs the dagger
all the while keeping an eye on Mae.
[Phase 8]
Kiet activates his ring and aims at Fake-Kiet. But nothing
goes off!
Z'leyra slashes Shifter #3 with her sword and takes out
a chunk of flesh from his back doing 7 points of damage.
Fremea realizes she has control of #2. But then she hears
Kiet scream. Glancing back over her right shoulder she
sees Kiet #2. But wait there are 2 Kiets? She glances at
the Fake-Kiet and sees distorted hands and realizes that
is the shifter She glances to the east to see Unali and
Zin finish one. She mentally orders Shifter #2 to help
the others take on Shifter #3. As she does this she sees
Kell bleeding and flying over Fake-Kell and Real-Kiet
lands near him. She glances around and wonders where
Arawn is. She tries to stop the bleeding from the ribs
but it seems to be too great.
Mae ignores Z'layha and flies past her toward the other.
She waves for Zin to follow. On to more promising targets.
Unali stands and moves to the north west to help the
others now that she sees #4 dead. As she sprints she
gets a close look at Mae only a few feet away. She then
sees another Kell and another Kiet near the door. But
which is the real Kell?
Zin turns and lumbers behind Mae and ends up about
5 feet behind her and Unali.
Shifter #2 obeys Fremea and goes to help the others.
He ends up right besides Z'leyra and reaches out with
both hands to bash Shifter #3 The large arms slaps and
bashes the shoulders of Shifter #3 doing 12 points of
damage to the shifter.
At the same time as Shifter #2 attacks #3. Shifter #3
now has 6 surrounding him. He turns and stabs both arms
at Fuk but the damage is slight from the chest wound doing
only 2 points of damage.
Fake-Kiet smiles and reaches out. His two arms now shrink
rapidly and forms smaller octopus like appendages. Using
a tactic Zin uses the shifter forms small hook-arms. With
a dozen or so hook-arms he stabs toward Arawn. Arawn then
realizes the shifters must see invisible beings. Which makes
sense for a being who could shift his eyes. All 12 hook-arms
pierce through holes in Arawn's armor and exposed non-armor
area like arms into flesh. Then pulling back to rip the
flesh from him all 12 do damage. 1, 2, 2, 3, 1, 3, 3, 2, 3, 3,
3 and 2 for a total of 28 points of damage. Arawn screams and
drops the Cryx and falls unconscious. "I did warn you!" While
Arawn remains invisible the Cryx now separate from Arawn
becomes visible.
Fake-Kell sees Arawn fall and realizes if his fellow even
gets a part of Arawn and the Cryx and flees it is all over. So
on impulse he rushes toward Fake-Kiet. Reaching down with
a extended arm he picks up the Cryx and with his other arm
he slaps Fake-Kiet but the blow is light as if he has not used
his own strength in centuries and does not do anything.
Mournath stabs Shifter #3 with his spear and does another
5 points of damage to his side area that would normally be
ribs on humans.
Z'leyra stabs Shifter #3 in the back doing another 15
points but she is amazed the shifter is standing. But
she has noticed it regenerate a bit.
Fuk hits Shifter #3 with his sword but the tough hide
is not penetrated.
Pyan stabs at Shifter #3 but fails to hit.
Dorhak swings his mace at Shifter #3 but also misses.
Z'layha jogs past Mae and Unali in hope to help her
long lost sister.
[Phase 9]
Actions? Comments?
Next Update.. Wednesday?
GM: Ok. This is NOT a drill or fake joke. This is the
real update. We may have just lost Kell and Arawn.
I did warn that based on the joke and old updates
that tactics might be used. I have something
Wednesday but will try to do update then when I am
done. So if can have actions by noon Wednesday?
If not then later on. For map I updated Fake Kiet
to icon #6 for ease and placed real Kiet (E) on map.
To clean it up a bit. All positions should be accurate.
Hope all enjoyed the april fools joke? I hope Bert,
Don and Kevin enjoyed it. Last year we did Pyan.
I think Z'leyra was fooled twice. :) But its a rite of
passage. I hope all enjoyed the easter egg for Kiet's
behind scenes stuff.
GM: Arawn - Sorry man. Your alive but in DTV. So
knocked out. When I did the Zin attack I figured
out the rules. D3 per hook. So sadly. :<
So now you get a bit of rest until some one can help.
Fremea - You now see Arawn and Kell down. Both seem
to be critical.
Kiet - Ring failed. Could be a basic failure or the
dampening field in this world Arawn mentioned. Do
you try again? A slight line of sight is fine. Fake
Kell is in front of Fake-Kiet. Arawn is on ground.
Fremea in the way is kneeling so above her head and
Kell is down. So only possible conflict is Shifter
#5 (Fake-Kell).
Mae - Do you help with Shifter #3? Though kinda a bit
crowded now. Or go find a dagger in pile or something
else?
Mournath/Pyan - Since no posted actions will assume
helping against Shifter #3 but be warned if the
dice picks you as target....:) So its always good
to post actions. :)
Z'leyra - You can see from side vision both Kell
and Arawn fall. So do you attack or something else?
