[Recap]
From Kiet: [Re: Actions]
"Damnation!" He thinks to himself. The ring failed!
Once acquired, call out in Kameri "Dorhak! Mournath! Help
Arawn!" Then move in to help the other four try to kill the
tusk creature. Kiet desperately wants to help kill the one that
attacked Kell, and help his new 'friend' Kell. He just doesn't
want to be confused with the 'other' Kiet and get impaled in
the back by one of his cohorts.
GM: Ack. Third quote would be 3rd phase so next update. Remind
me if I forget but will try to recall. You did pick up a sword
from the tribute cave.
From Kiet: [Re: Actions]
Do not take a chance on hitting fake Kell with the ring fire.
Thanks
GM: Ack. So no ring #2 on Fake Kiet. Gotcha. Yeah your fault. :)
You reminded me its a 'visible' flame not a poof on target
thing like I had used before. So that line of sight target
to hit like flame darts points the fun. :)
From Mae: [Re: Actions]
Maelorna looks about for a potential playmate and spots...
GM: Ack. You say braggart which is Fake-Kiet but you point
to Fake-Kell. So a bit confused. You were not on the
last 2 days of skype so couldn't ask. So will assume
Fake-Kell.
From Dorhak: [Re: Actions]
This doesn't seem to be going well at all! These creatures are
horribly dangerous and probably have already killed two of the
people in this group. For the first time in a long time, he's
somewhat afraid.
Being afraid doesn't mean being a coward, however. You keep
fighting till the end. That is the Dwarvish way. The gods of
stone and silence demand no less.
There are six of us taking on a single 'thing', as the dwarf
doesn't really know what to call these evil beings, and we are
barely holding our own. But now another Kiet and Kell appear?
It's obvious that the Kiet holding Kell was a fake, but what
is the new one? And the new Kell? Dorhak's brain isn't meant
to deal with such matters. It is obvious, however, that the
Kiet behind him is an enemy. It's probably killed Kell (one of
them anyway) and Arawn. Dorhak hears the newly arrived Kiet and
seems to agree with the 'command'.
Dorhak will break off from the tusk creature and move to attack
the fake Kiet that killed Kell and Arawn.
GM: Ack. Yet this is what I would call a 'moderate' level
encounter. :) To me the soul Davias (old form) would've
been far more dangerous. But yep. They regenerate so
it is hard to kill them. Think of it s a clown car they
seem to come out looking the same. :)

[New Stuff]
[Febris 9th, 1635TH]
[Time: 5:01 pm]
[Unknown Location]
[Audience Room - Current room]
[Phase 9]
Kiet raises his arm to fire his second blast at the
Fake-Kiet. But Fake-Kell is right there. While the shifter
is a possible enemy he did help him. Kiet curses mentally
and lowers his arm. He activates his magical boots, hoping
they are indeed the magical ones and not Fake-Kiet wearing them.
He quickly slams the boots together twice to activate them.
Kiet curses out loud, "Damnation!" He activates his boots
for speed not the other stuff yet.
Now being just as fast as Z'leyra, Kiet runs north to the
gear pile. He scans the pile. He spots his shield fast.
But the tulwar takes a second longer. A few good blades
and swords. He tosses the sword he found in the tribute
room and grips his tulwar. He glances up at Fake-Kell holding
the Cryx and Fake-Kiet. Only about 12 or so feet away.
A clear line of sight now!
Z'leyra swings and slices off the left 'arm' of tusk
shifter #3 doing 17 points. The magical sword slices
off the arm and it falls to the ground. There is very
little to no blood more a yellowish-orange fluid that
seems to fall out of the socket.
Fremea at Kell's side feels a very faint pulse. But she
is no healer of humans so unsure if that is a weak or
strong pulse. She checks the wound by the fake-Kiet to
his ribs. Tearing a piece of tunic off she tries to stop
the bleeding that is pouring out fast. At least she knows
if there is blood his heart is still working. She wonders
where Z'leyra to help him is?
Maelorna looks about for a potential playmate and spots a
shifter, 'The braggart' she thinks and gives it a knowing smile
as she instructs Zin, "Kill it, my love!" while pointing at the
fake Kell and turning towards the creature before flying towards
it.
She could almost find companionship amongst them, well, if not
for their desire to dissect her that is.
Mae flies toward Fake-Kell. But she ends up right behind
Mournath and next to Kiet. She stares at the gear pile
at her feet looking for a dagger to use.
Unali moves to help the party members attacking Shifter
#3. She stabs at Tusk Shifter #3 but misses as it dodges
and weaves. She misses her second good dagger.
Zin moves north west to go find Mae's new target the Fake-Kell.
But ends about 35 feet away.
Tusk Shifter #3 fearing death is coming tries to recall
a creature from the air to change to. But it has been
so long. He can't recall the rules for wing length and
body mass. The pain of losing his arm is too much and so
he reforms again. This time he adds 5 arms for a total
of 6. At the end of each he forms large sharp claws.
Then he begins to twirl in place like a spinning top.
He weaves back and forth a couple of feet creating
a whirlwind of motion with his claw-hands hoping to
hit targets at random.
Claw-Hand #1 swipes at Mournath but he raises his
spear and deflects it in time. Two claw hands strike
at Fuk but the constable steps back and dodges them both.
One Claw Hand strikes at Unali but her magical dagger
warns her and she ducks in time.
One claw strikes toward Pyan but misses as well.
One Claw hand strikes toward Z'leyra and her chest doing
5 points of damage past her magical chainmail.
The last claw hand strikes at Bull-Thrall-Shifter #2 but
does not hit him.
Fremea's thrall Shifter #2 tries to stab back using
speared like arm at Shifter #3 but fails to hit as it
spins and spins.
Fake-Kiet turns to Fake-Kell, "traitor!" He then
changes back to humanoid form and tries to strike the
shifter-ally but only does 1 point of damage in the wild
swing.
At the same time Fake-Kell raises the Cryx at Fake-Kiet's
chin and rams it up under his chin. The orb begins to spark
as it makes contact and starts to merge into the face of
Fake-Kiet. Tissue and flesh begin to peel away as the
Cryx merges with the shifter's head doing 19 points of damage
to the Shifter. Maybe Fake-Kell doesn't know how to use
the magical thing to his advantage yet.
Unconscious Arawn can hear whispers and songs in his mind.
He can't make it out as the pain it intense Darkness
in his mind as it begins to close off. Arawn mentally
reaches out for contact but darkness seems to come at him
from all sides in his mind.
Mouranath stabs his spear at Shifter #3 but misses.
Fuk and Pyan all use sword and spear to hit Shifter #3
but both men fail to hit the spinning creature.
Dorhak upset about this whole situation channels his
anger and swings his mace at Shifter #3 hitting him in
the chest doing 19 points of damage. The shifter collapses
to the ground and doesn't seem to move.
Z'layha sees Shifter #3 fall and figures Fake-Kiet is
the threat. She moves in that direction ending up only
10 feet away.
[Phase 10]
Kiet raises his tulwar lowering it down but raises his
hand. He now has a clear line of sight and fires his second
blast of his ring. The flame impacts right onto Fake-Kiet
and dances across his chest burning flesh doing 36 points
of damage. Which would for most creatures kill them right
out but this thing is still standing! Kiet yells out to
the others, "Don't hurt the Kells!",
Z'leyra sees Shifter #3 and then notices Shifter #2
right besides her. Going with her plan to attack the
nearest shifter she turns and stabs the thrall of Fremea.
The great sword impales the thrall doing 27 points of
damage to his chest.
Mae hovering over the pile and only 2 feet from Kiet
hears him yell. Don't hurt them? Why so she can play
with them later? Sure. She bends down and takes a dagger
from the numerous pile of them and flies toward Fake
Kiet and tries to stabs the burning creature but misses.
Unali sees Shifter #3 not moving and bends down to
stab it a few times to ensure it can't regenerate. She
glances up to see Z'leyra attacking the one that just
helped them.
Shifter #2 just impaled by Z'leyra looks at Shifter #3
with his orders complete. He lowers his arms to his sides
and stands there.
Zin lumbers toward Fake-Kell passing Kiet. It reaches
the area finding Fake-Kell blocked by Mae. Zin gently
lifts Mae and moves her away to get to Fake-Kell (#5).
Zin in his haste tries to shove with force Fake-Kell but
does little damage.
Mae grunts at the forward nature of Zin and then realizes
he places her only a foot away from that annoying sister
of Z'leyra!
Fake-Kiet reaches up both harms to try to pry Fake-Kell's
arm and Cryx away. But with the flames and the pain there
is a struggle that he fails to muster strength.
Fake Kell looks to Zin and glares but continues his
struggle to force the Cryx into Fake-Kiet's head and it
enters up to his cheek and nose distorting and destroying
flesh doing 17 more points to Fake-Kiet's head but it
is amazing the shifter remains standing.
Unali knows Fake-Kiet is more a threat and stands
moving away from Z'leyra and toward him in the corner.
A tactical mistake to be backed into a corner. She
ducks under the hovering Mae and leaps over the gear
pile. But then suddenly falls to her knees when she
falls onto Arawn. Being a acrobatic skilled person
she falls gracefully not plunging the dagger into his
chest or doing damage. She begins to touch his body
not seeing it. She can feel dampness all over his chest
and realizes he is bleeding. She does a mental picture
in her head. She tries to account for everyone. Including
Z'layha. This has to be Arawn.
Fake-Kiet stabs one claw hand at Fake-Kell doing only
a few minor points of damage.
At the same time Fake-Kell realizes Zin could be a threat.
He likes to play that game with the hooks. Why is
Zin after him now? Fake-Kell pulls the cryx away
from Fake-Kiet's skull and turns to attack Zin.
Using it as a weapon to impale again he swipes at
Zin but it does only very minor damage against the
tough hide.
Zin extends his arms toward Fake-Kell but when the
Cryx hits him it forces him to drawn back and
use his arms to deflect rather than using his hook
arm tactic.
Mae sees Fake-Kiet's skull melting and his body
burning but is still up. But that infernal Unali
is in the way. She raises both legs and flies toward
Fake-Kiet. She stabs at the burning disgusting creature
hitting doing 7 points of damage. Fake-Kiet falls backwards
toward Fake-Kell. They both collide and fall to the ground.
Kiet leaps over the pile of gear glaring at Mae for letting
Zin harm Fake-Kell. Seeing Fake-Kell under Fake-Kiet
he rushes toward Fake-Kiet and stabs him with his tulwar
doing the final damage to kill him. Then with his boot
he shoves Fake-Kiet off Fake-Kell and turns around to face
Zin with his shield raises ready to defend Fake-Kell.
Z'leyra confused by Shifter #2's lack of action takes
the easy strike and impales the shifter doing another 28
points of damage but he remains leaking and standing.
Unali seeing Zin right next to Kiet realizes Zin could
probably kill him. There is little she can do for Arawn
so stands. With her behind Zin she stabs the creature
in the back of the neck doing 30 points of damage. For
most beings it would kill them. But for Zin it does
nothing but wound him.
Zin reaches out for Kiet and slams him away like a fly
toward the north wall. He moves toward Fake-Kell.
But as both creatures move at the same instant Fake-Kell
crawls forward and grabs the Cryx. "I always wanted to
do this Zin!" He stabs the Cryx right at where most
men have their groin doing 28 points of damage as it
penetrates the softer flesh of his abdomen and enters
his body proper.
Mournath seeing Z'leyra wounding #2 turns and sees
Kiet tossed like a rag doll by Zin. Knowing what
the creature did to Zin he charges and stabs Zin in
the back wit his spear doing 9 points of damage. Zin
falls to his knees and collapses.
Z'leyra stabs the dumb thrall and does the damage
to kill him.
Fuk sees Zin fall and anger boils in. He charges
forward and stabs the creature a few times to ensure
that Zin is dead.
Kiet gasps of air but yells out, "Dorhak! Mournath! Help
Arawn!"
Dorhak turns to see the scene behind him. Zin falling.
Kiet slammed against the wall. That demon Mae hovering
in the corner. Kell #2 stabbing Kiet #2 with that glowy
stick and that had to hurt right there in the guy area!
But then Kiet yells to help Arawn. He looks around
but sees no Arawn. Where is he?
Z'layha stops and surveys the scene. Two more shifters
dead. But this one that looks Kell seems to not be hostile.
So she stands and watches.
Fake-Kell drops the Cryx and looks at Arawn. Since he
can see him clearly. He leans down and touches the Alfar.
As he does his back forms a appendage and it moves toward
Kell to check his pulse and touch him.
A quick mental touch of the minds and Fake-Kell
looks around. From his mental touching of Kiet he
looks for the leader. The one called Z'leyra. There
some distance away. He speaks in Marentia. "Healing
will do nothing for them. The gods who send magical
healing doesn't apply here. Items might help. But
I can save one now. Choose one of them and do it
quickly as both are at death."
The party all look at Z'leyra. Who to save? Kell or
Arawn. Arawn might be their only way out of this place.
But it is a hard choice. She could rush and risk healing
but if there is no way for the gods to touch magical
mental energies in this prison then it might be too
late to save them. Those near the gear pile get the
rest of their gear like Unali, Mournath, Fuk and Pyan.
Actions? Comments?
Next Update.. Saturday...
GM: Leaders have sometimes to make that hard choice. This
wasn't planned. But the logic is hard to get around
A prison where gods have no influence. Magical healing
comes from gods. Therefore. At this point combat is
over unless Mae decides to attack Fake-Kell or the
others do as well. But at this point I assume no
one does unless stated otherwise. I will assume
folks will collect their gear minus what Fake-Kiet
tossed into the lava (satchel, Arawn's sword and
Lucria's sword if I recall). I am on 4 hours sleep
Tuesday and today both days So I am a bit foggy so
hope those are the 3 items lost We will do a new
update Saturday afternoon. This is a REAL update
not a joke. So for Arawn and Kell this is serious.
As to Thralls Zin and #2. I went with posted actions
so sorry they were lost. But then again it was fun
to get revenge on Zin by prisoner-Kell. :) That was
just beautiful timing. Ironic that Mae does the death
blow for Fake-Kiet but oh well. Since I am a bit
foggy I'll do experience and such later next week.
