Admin Notes: Added Raki to Roster for ease for now.

[Recap]
From Z'leyra: [Re: Actions]
"Everyone! Gather what you can. We must leave quickly!...
GM: Ack.
From Dorhak: [Re: Actions]
Yeah! I was wondering how much I might be able to get from
this adventure. 200 experience points is a lot for a starting
player.
Go Dorhak!
That should translate into some good character points too!
Dorhak agrees! Let's get out of here. But he does privately
hope we can leave the demon behind!
GM: Ack. Some GMs do much less there are optional rules
that give llmited for encounters. But I figure this
is a fun game and takes dedication/time. So I don't
mind giving you guys what is due. I just feel sad for
those who don't post actions often so they miss out.
I do CPs at end of adventure. This was mainly for my
sanity. But with folks wanting spreadsheets that
could be done in real time. But then it would be
unfair to those who don't use spreadsheets. So
I will have to decide on that.
From Mae: [Re: Actions]
Maelorna looks at Kiet incredulously and gives an...
"By the Court, are you serious? Do I look like I....
GM: Ack.
From Fremea: [Re: Actions]
Fremea still feeling the hit from the one she had made...
"Mae, there is nothing that I have to worry from you....
GM: Ack.
From Z'leyra: [Re: Actions]
"Okay Raki, lead us out!" ZX'leyra says once folks have
grabbed their stuff and Kell's body.
GM: Ack.

[New Stuff]
[Febris 9th, 1635TH]
[Time: 5:01 pm]
[Unknown Location]
[Audience Room - Current room]
Kiet closes Kell's eyes and considers one of those prayers
Arawn does. He glances at Arawn but would never admit that the
priest is rubbing off on him just a bit. But Kell deserves such
words even if its not a formal thing. Kiet knows that Kell is
here in spirit, literally, so knows he is only looking at Kell's
shell. Who knows maybe Kell could return with resurrection.
He vaguely recalls how Chion and his shaman trainer Cetric may
know such things. There is always hope in this world. Well
maybe not this prison world but HIS world.
Maelorna looks at Kiet incredulously and gives an exasperated
sigh, "By the Court, are you serious? Do I look like I want
him? I just offered my life in exchange for his if it will
help him," as she takes a step back, the dagger in her hand
gives her little comfort, especially when the others raise their
weapons.
"As well I gave Arawn my word that I would not harm any of
you. Believe me, it's hard enough having to listen to the voice
trying to goad me into feeding on every one I can see, but now
you honestly sound like one of the religious zealots I was
constantly running into or from in the city. I tried more
than once to explain, I'm not a demon," as she sighs, "Ok, half
of me is. I don't make the rules and I guess take it up with
the Court and the Princess as to why I was allowed to be borne,
as it's something to do with her."
She looks at Kiet evenly, "I do not break my word lightly,
Thus when Z'leyra asked me what I was, I spoke truthfully and
the offer was given. If she survived this, do with me as she
chose. Besides, I've already learned that no matter what I
desire it will be denied to me. Zin killed Lucria, one of the
two I was drawn towards and thought I might find companionship
with and care about," as she wipes angrily at tears, "Then to
add insult to injury, the revenge I wanted, truly thought I
would have, I only needed to wait for a few days and that thing,
Zin would have perished while still being a toy. Denied as
well, since you killed him,"
She throws the dagger at the ground at her feet, "I did
promise I would repay the kindness you and the others had shown
me when you freed me of the collar. So if it will assuage your
fear of me, I can offer the one thing a succubus that Master
Gniled had summoned to teach me, she had instructed me to fear
one thing above all else," as she rolls her eyes, "Ok, apart
from dying that is, I will give Arawn or Z'leyra my true name
or to them both," as she sighs, "I will accept enslavement in
the manner that is more effective than a collar, since I can't
remove my name or run from it."
Z'layha looks at Mae and finally forms a solid expression
of wonder. Then she places the dagger in her belt. She
looks down to her spirit cage necklace. She nods a few
times as if hearing things. "I do not understand why I
even understand this language you speak. Maybe this place?
Maybe when that thing touched my mind. But what you
offered a life for his. Is a noble thing. We have a thing
in my world which is kina-ma'un. It means the circle
of life and how life replaces death. It is the highest
honor one can do. A demon would not do this. At least as
far as I know of demons There must be something in you that
is more human than demon. Frankly we need everyone. So
come with us. They can deal with you later." She glances
to her sister. "I am very confused by all this. I hope
if we escape we can talk. But I fear we do not have much
time."
Mae turns to Raki recalling his warning.
Mae sighs upon Raki's warning from Lucria, "Foul them?
Why ever would I even want to do that," she asks and sighs.
Raki glances at Mae and smiles. He has already copied
that sly smile of Kell, creepy. "You show up as human
then that." He waves a hand. "You have more common ground
with me than them. We foul folks all the time."
Fremea still feeling the hit from the one she had made her
thrall, thinks it such a shame to have lost it too. She checks
herself on her wounds, realizing she is pretty badly hurt. She
collects her equipment, checking to make sure nothing has broken
or is missing really quickly. She will find her brooch (1.F) and
have it handy, just in case, by pinning to her shirt. Otherwise,
she will get her quiver and her bow out, putting the daggers
away on her body again.
Fremea grumbles at the mess Fake-Kiet did on the pile. the
amount of scattered arrows is annoying to collect. She
listens to Mae speak while she collects her gear.
As they all start to work towards the exit, her mind finally
plays catch up. Kell is dead, but yet there is this imposter.
Should he come with us, or die here? Fremea understands
outcasts, being one herself. She quickly looks over at Mae,
knowing she must be going through a million thoughts at once.
Fremea has not care about her appearance and even feels a
little sad that others will again judge her just because she
has wings and is dangerous.
Fremea recalls the times in Marentian and Donaran streets
where others called her demon as well.
"Mae, there is nothing that I have to worry from you. I know
what it is like to keep secrets, even from those you are wanting
to trust and to have trust you. I do not believe you are evil or
even a danger to us. Learning to control your dark is what makes
us all equal in this land." She glances around quickly. "Well,
our land, not here at least." She smirks a little at her own
inside joke. "I do not speak for the group, but I do not mind
you being here with us and very much appreciate that you were."
Rubbing her neck as she said that part. "Can you turn into this
flying form at will? That would be awesome to fly with you. It
is fun to fly with Corona, but he has to do other things and
does not always get time to fly with me."
She realizes how quiet she had been this whole time. She felt
like when she first started with this group again. Needing to
hold back, needing to find her way, not sure who she could
trust, yet it was not at all like that at the same time. She
knows her place in this group, she knows she can trust all of
these people; expect maybe the sailor, she has no idea about
him, but he has not said or done anything against her or her
family. Shrug.
Fremea just kept quiet because this was all so foreign to her,
more than even the escape she took to get out of the Fae lands.
When she say two Kiets, she knew nothing was right and something
bad was happening. It would have been amazing to learn what she
could from her thrall, but alas, it is no more. And good
riddance.
"Take the one that helped us." She knows if he does try to
betray us, she will make sure he is dead.
Raki tries a partial bow and tries to correct it from
Kell's memory to a full bow. "i am ...you can call me
Raki."
Fuk looks to Mae still a bit wary but after hearing
Z'layha and Fremea he shrugs . He moves toward Raki.
"Question. If you sent the ...spirit of Kell to do
recon. You guys can see him. Why wouldn't your friend
as well?"
Raki looks taken aback. "I...hadn't thought of...
that...that could be a problem."
As Kiet and Z'leyra stand from their charges of Arawn and
Kell, Unali collects her gear. It is nice again to have her
second magical dagger. It just fits so well in her hand. She
grabs her bags after she picks up a few items discarded by the
annoying fake Kiet.
Unali digs in one of her bags. The first talisman was a good
try to save Kell. But if Raki is correct there was little hope
as the flesh of Fake-Kiet was eating him away. But Unali grabs
a second talisman with a silver chain and a ruby in the center.
Talisman in hand she moves toward Fremea who is obviously
the worst off in the group. "Do you need to be healed now,
before we go?"
Fremea nods and gives permission.
Unali raises the talisman to the Fae's chest. She
activates the magical healing item. The green magical
energy begins to heal three of Fremea's largest wounds.
In seconds 8 of her 10 points are healed. Making her
from heavy to light damage. Fremea stretches and feels
much better.
Unali places the talisman in the bag and heads to the
threshold to stand watch while the others get gear.
"Everyone! Gather what you can. We must leave quickly! Now!"
Z'leyra commands. And she gathers what she can of her stuff.
Inside Z'leyra is a broiling range of emotions. Disbelief,
nervousness, regret, sadness, anger, even a bit of rage. Out
of these comes a thought...though the gods may have destroyed
many moons of my best efforts in putting the satchel and its
contents to burn in lava - I shall replace them with even
better, more powerful items! And someday she will master the
arts involved in resurrecting folk.
Upon hearing Z'leyra's instruction, Mae goes to the pile and
looks for the ceremonial dagger that was hers. As for her
gear, it was still back at the lodge. The scraps of cloth
that had been her gown do little more than tease rather than
hide her modesty and she seems little troubled by it.
"Okay Raki, lead us out!" Z'leyra says once folks have
grabbed their stuff and Kell's body.
Raki goes over to grab Kell's body with ease and carry
him to the threshold. He stops. "My people are in the
thousands. If they find us we are all doomed. Even
your great powers will not fight them all off. We
must be careful. But if you do fine...them only great
concentrated damage will matter. We can regenerate
fast."
With that Raki leads the group out into the passage.
Kiet places his second ring on and secures it as he
sees his friend being carried out by his duplicate. It
just makes Kiet a bit nervous.
Actions? Comments?
Next Update.. Wednesday...?
GM: A short update. But I started this late. I had
hoped to move folks down the passage. But will
do that next update. I will do it Wednesday afternoon
assuming I have enough posts. Will do a bit at the
very least. Part of it was done in Kiet's BTS file
I posted. If you read the entry on the loot cave
then you can plan accordingly and get a step ahead.
GM: I had hoped to hear more on the things I covered
in my mini post. But Oh well. So this is how it
seems to be so far.
Healing: Unali seems to have the only item to
heal that I found. I was hoping folks would
look at sheets or remind me if I missed any. :<
But Fremea is mostly healed with Fuk being the
worst off now.
Order: The passages will be 1-2 people wide
hallways. I didn't do this in the mini post
but if Z'leyra needs to set a order who goes
where let me know. Who is in middle and
rear and all that. I assume Fuk would be in
middle for his wounds. etc. If Z'leyra does
not want to assign such order then you guys
can let me know.
Raki: To take/trust/kill Raki.
Based on the posts of far it seems...
Fremea, Z'leyra (by her command) accepts Raki
in group. For now? Kill later? Unsure.
Mae: Accept Mae/Trust/Kill later?
Based on old posts and new ones I figure...
Take Mae:
Arawn (he is who he is :)).
Fremea, Z'layha (for now), Fuk (neutral for now)
Leave Mae (unsure if that includes kill?)
Dorhak, Kiet
Undecided:
Unali, Mournath, Pyan, Z'leyra
Take: 4 Leave/Kill?: 2 Undecided: 4
Based on that 6 would be a majority. But then
again a player who just decides to kill Mae
I have no control over. But I'm doing this very
democratic like. :)
