[Recap]
From Fremea: [Re: Actions]
Fremea shakes her head as she sees Raki run past ...
GM: Ack.
From Kiet: [Re: Actions]
If any of the Zin-like shifters gets close enough, Kiet will
fire off as many ring Smokeless Flames as he can. After that,
if we don't advance out of their reach, Kiet will use his
shield's Earth Strength spell.
Even in this gods forsaken place, there are elements, so
likely Elementals. If Kell were here in person, he could
call up some to fight with us.
GM: Ack.
From Mae: [Re: Actions]
Maelorna can see the flames and the heat building...
GM: Ack.

[New Stuff]
[Febris 9th, 1635TH]
[Time: 5:01 pm]
[Phase 3]
Only 30 feet from the top of the slope the shifters
stare at the party members. Then they realize the lava
opening and are a bit confused. But this is when
Z'leyra and Kiet unleash their magics.
Kiet raises both arms and releases both sets of rings.
Each one at a single shifter. Kiet's left pinky ring
fires and hits the first target doing 18 points of damage
as the creature becomes riddled with flames. But
the right pinky ring seems to fail.
Z'leyra unleashes a fire dart from her helmet and
it hits shifter #2 doing 26 points of damage as it
impacts squarely on his chest. But both shifters seem
still alive and moving.
The lava begins to spill through the now open hole.
At first it just drips and small lines. Until a large
chunk of lava tumbles outward and into the virgin slope
and burning the slop as it rolls down.
Fremea adds, "Well, that should help heat things up a bit."
Looking at the lava as it pours out.
Fremea shakes her head as she sees Raki run past her. What
was he thinking? Everyone needs to be here, to make sure they can
go through when it is ready to let us. She knows that he has
helped them a lot and Kiet would be upset if he didn't come
with them. She flies quickly to catch up with him and help
him with whatever it is. She will have her bow readied.
Fremea rushes down the slop toward the shifters. She
uses a acrobatic maneuver with her wings to bat them away
before they can touch her. She flies past and reaches
the bottom. As she reaches the bottom of the slop to ht
passage leading away she sees Raki just rounding the
corner some 60 feet away. She grabs her bow and then
flies after him.
Maelorna can see the flames and the heat building up, while
she should feel the stifling heat and not want to be here.
From somewhere in her mind, she feels more at home. 'Damn
it, I don't have time for this, I need to get out of here with
the others.' she thinks for a moment as she gathers at the lip
of the incline.
Watches potential meals gather down below and mentally tells
the voice to shut up. She sighs, "It seems as soon as we got
here, the hunger has gotten worse than I've ever dealt with it
before." she grouses
Mae can hear Raki ask for her assistance and gives a knowing
smile, "Happily." she yells out gleefully as she takes wing and
follows him. Wondering if she couldn't do a fly by feeding,
not having had to worry about it before.
Mae flies down the slope after Fremea. But she is not as
fast as the agile Fae and only reaches about 40 feet down just
10 feet behind the shifters above. She glances over her
shoulder to ensure they don't come after her.
Arawn while watching the diamond spheres, projection and
the runes all at once moves closer. From behind he sees
flashes of light but is unsure if that is fire or flame
as he is not looking toward the party now. He reaches
the same point as the runes. His eyes pinpoint the Sidh
runes and reads as he traces his fingers along the
runes to help form a concept in his mind of a 3rd image.
Both shifters stare and contort their faces in anger
at the two that fired the flames at them. They move
forward. At this point the lava is minor and can be
avoided.
But as the first shifter leaps upward a human head
size of burning lava rolls out of the hole and almost
slams into the shifter. He dodges to the right and into
the wall forcing his ascent to stop.
But the second shifter runs and leaps toward the party
at the top of the slope forming four claw hands to attack
at the same time. In his wild frantic attempt to kill
something he moves toward Z'leyra but in fact his claws
move closer to Mournath, Pyan and Dorhak.
Two claws reach and swipe toward Mournath. One claw is
blocked by Mournath's shield but the other does hit taking
a bit of blood (2 points) from his chest.
The claw toward Pyan impacts fully gouging out a severe
deep wound on his chest doing 24 points of damage. Pyan
falls to his knees unconscious. But before he can fall
down the slop Z'layha leaps and grabs his belt backwards
to her.
The last claw tries to hit Dorhak but fails entirely.
Raki rounds the corner and flies after the fleeing
shifter who is now a good 50 feet head start down the
passage.
Z'leyra thrusts her great sword at the shifter and
impales the still flaming beast in his left ribs
(if they have ribs) doing 16 points of damage.
Fuk moves between Kiet and Z'leyra at the top of the
cramped space. He sees Pyan almost killed if not dead
by now and moves to the shifter. He knows his sword
will do little. So he decides on a new tactic He
sweeps low and kicks out to trip the shifter. But as
his feet impact onto the side of his leg it is like hitting
a stone wall and nothing happens.
Z'layha pulls Pyan away a few feet down the passage
to try to stop the bleeding. She finds he is still alive
but weak. The poor hunter almost dying yet again. As she
does this she continues her speech, "...lead the others to
safety. If someone is going to release..."
Kiet pulls his tulwar now at close range and tries
to quickly bash the shifter with his shield in hopes
to dislodge him from the top. But the shield bashes
the creature's head and seems to do nothing.
Dorhak sees Kiet's tactics and growls and with
a slight crouch pushes forward with his own shield
and impacts squarely on the shifter. But at the
same time he swings his mace toward the shifter's
knees and gets behind his left knee and causes the
leg to flinch. This causes the shifter to stumble
backwards. Together with the momentum of the shield
bash the shifter falls and tumbles backwards down
the slope straight for the lava.
The shifter splashes into the lava and screams a very
animal like yell.
[Phase 4]
Kiet lowers his tulwar and again raises both
arms to fire a second blast from his rings. he
knows he used some already so may not be able to
but he tries. He aims at the one below that dodged
the lava. The left ring fires off but the right one
does not this time. The flame hits the second shifter
leaning against the wall. It engulfs the creature
again and does another 24 points of damage.
Z'leyra also tries to fire a second time at the same
shifter. But the magic never goes off it seems. No
fire dart is seen.
By now the lava is gushing into the passage. The
shifter that is now lying in the lava becomes engulfed
in the lava and takes another 15 points of damage.
The lava is now pools that stretch from wall to wall as
it pours down. Lava chunks as big as horse heads and
as small as small pebbles slide down the slope.
Fremea rounds the corner and flies after Raki who is
now about 10 feet ahead. She sees the passage is dark
but a bright spot is down the passage maybe 90 feet or
100 feet away. She realizes based on the look of it that
must be the rock 'window' that opened to the cavern of
the shifters. The shifter is now about halfway there. She
loads her bow to fire to stop the shifter.
Mae rounds the corner and ends up about 15 feet behind
Fremea but can see the same thing. This will be a long
and hard chase. So Raki needs to stop the shifter from
calling his buddies. If that happens all things fail.
Unali stares at both shifters in pain and flame and
realizes these things are tough to kill. She waits at
the top of the slope watching the lava pour out.
Arawn finishes his reading of the side runes. "To give
fully of one self means willing to devote oneself to the
greater good. To pass simply end the magic and move forward.
The chosen one can determine level of magic to end. The
inner light and the greater light will deem you worthy. "
Arawn realizes this must mean what the projection meant.
Could dispel the ward fully, partially or what not. These
unique wards are not typical start/stop wards but start/
partially end/end wards. Unique to divine influence. Arawn
wonders if his own father stood here placing these wards?
But could it be that easy? Just dispel the ward?
The projection looks own the passage to those fighting the
shifters. "It is almost too late."
Raki yells out in his own language to the shifter in front.
But Fremea and Mae do not understand. The fleeing shifter
runs another great span and reaches only 10 feet from the
rock 'window'. But he turns and faces Raki who slows down.
The shifter then forms wings and begins to flap them.
Raki has no choice and extends his arms decreasing his own
body mass to half. In doing so the arms reach out and
toward the wings and pulls it forward.
But the captured shifter starts to emit a high pitched
subsonic hum. The vibration can be felt and heard down
the entire length of the passage.
At the same time the other two shifters at the slope
move. The one in the lava tries to get to his knees
and rushes up the slope as flesh peels off from him
as if he is in major decay from the lava and fire. He
reaches upwards with 4 arms. But two of them seem to
drop to his side as they go limp. The other two arms
reach for Z'leyra. The arms swipe toward her chest wildly
in desperation but her armor blocks the damage.
The other shifter tries to form into a winged creature to
avoid the lava but the cohesion of the heat affects him
as well as the previous damage. The creature flaps twice
and then falls directly into the lava. It becomes engulfed
with the flames and does not move again.
Z'leyra tries to cut off one of the shifter's arms as it
flails back and forth but she misses.
Fuk however is able to hit one of the arms and does
7 points of damage to it as it waves back and forth.
Z'layha tries to stop the bleeding of Pyan but it is
severe. "Sister help!"
Dorhak swings his mace at the last shifter and hits him
doing the final damage to kill him. The shifter falls
down the slope and slides into the lava burning.

Next Update....Wednesday...
GM: A short update. Sorry Pyan just bad dice yet again.
Your luck is not good lately. :< You are still alive
but barely. Now both shifters are gone. But what
is the 3rd one doing? I would try to do update Saturday.
But there are some conflicting things so chances are
slim I may not. So if not then I can try to do it
Monday night if able. If not then it'll be next Wednesday.
The shifter is only 10 feet from the rock window the party
was at earlier.
GM: Fremea - You are about 60 feet away from the last shifter
now captured by Raki.
Mae - You are 15 feet behind Fremea so about 75 feet from
the shifter. PMR=X X=10 feet. So if it says pmr 4
then you move 4 or 4x10=40 feet in one phase.
