Choose whichever works for you.
Thanks!
GM: Ack. Added to Roster. Welcome!
From Z'leyra: [Re: Actions]
Z'leyra explains "Guys! You are letting a slaver escape!...
GM: Ack.
From Arawn: [Re: Actions]
Sorry for the delay in posting. Unfortunately I've been short
on time lately. I had worked on a reply to Update #9 but forgot
to send it so some of the information below might be moot now:)
But sending it anyways instead of editing it. Scott, no need to
post things that might be too late/not worth posting now or else
feel free to work them into the current time frame.
Also, welcome aboard, Bess:)
***************** RE: Game Update #9 *****************
"As dashing as the sailor thought you were, I'll do my...
OOC:
A bit late to mention it but I'd guess that Arawn, as a
trained survivalist, would know enough to stand downwind
from animals when possible to avoid being detected by scent
and such. But all good:) Also, Arawn would like to have
attempted Elvish/Empathic Communication with the animals
(or use whatever odd aura seems to be around him regarding
animals being relatively peaceful in regards to him) to calm
them down, let them know he's there to help avoid further
problems, and maybe figure out what's going on.
As the panther/shaman has moved away maybe best to assume
this done with the Zehani wolf, which makes me wonder if
Arawn might recognize it as the one spotted during Kiet's
funeral.
[Time: 10:30 am]
Watching the wolf and panther circle and pace,...
[OOC:
If you feel like posting/running Arawn's attempt to use
Elvish Empathic Communication... IC: Arawn extended his
spiritual and psychic senses, seeking to connect with the
animals in hopes of calming them, learning their names and
why their on deck, and discovering any hidden danger they may
be aware of.]
As it became clear that some of the men laying about the deck
were still alive the alfar made his way to them, using his
medical training to stabilize them.
OOC:
Arawn is invisible so not sure how the man sees him. But we
can go with things as written so as to make things easy, the
conversation taking place while Arawn tends to the wounded
(maybe Arawn 'bumped' into Raddok).
IC:
His medical kit by his side Arawn sought to stabilize...
"What happened here?," he asked, speaking in Salaqi...
OOC: Based on the conclusion that the guards were guilty of
being slavers while the sailors were innocent, if it seems
like the sailors are going to die before he (and anyone
helping him) can stabilize them all of those still alive
then he'll gather them together and cast Healing Mist at EL
0 on them.
****************** RE: Game Update #10 ******************
Arawn was able to make out the dwarf's comments bu....
[OOC: Will cast Communicate at max EL. If this seems to fail
then he'll reply in Faerry Sidh or, if the dwarf seems unable
to understand that, the Tongue of Dvalinn.
OOC: Probably a bit late now but in case Unali forgot while
trying to break the door Arawn gave her Enhanced Moonwort a
while back.
OOC: So is Arawn invisible or not, lol?
OOC: I assume the part you repeat to Arawn is, "Something is
very wrong here, isn't it?"
IC: Raddok's quick prayer catches Arawn's attention,...
GM: Ack. As always I understand busy schedules. At least
4 of the party are super busy so that happens. You
guys react when can and as always I can hold game
need be just let me know. As to down wind yes would
know but staying still for a few moments is critical.
As to Communicate as I've warned just because you
are friendly doesn't mean animals are they WILL attack
and by the time you act all nicey and such your throat
is ripped out. So communicate could be too high a risk
at times. But I assume you try to remain calm and friendly
and extend no sign of hostile intent so that to me is
your communication. :) For other words spoken you'd have
to include later. As to the Wolf it is the same as Kell's
(not Kiet he isn't dead yet :)) funeral. At least more
likely unless there is another one his size in area. The
Jag though is new. I covered the Raddok seeing you thing.
That was a mistake by the Dwarf staff. But I fixed it
by you touching him. As to panther seen in Vassa the Jag is
not it different species. May have to remind me on Healing
Mist as may not have time to do it. But you have to move folks
and they are scattered over the entire ship deck so you need
to get them closer for a mist spell. That could be risky.
You are still invisible to those you don't touch. But they
can 'see' you for the blood on the deck via boots thing. It
will probably fade by time guards arrive. A Donaran connection
applies for Raddok/Arawn so any repeated words can be done that
way.
From Mae: [Re: Actions]
Maelorna sighs as she walks up, her other half finds the smell of
GM: Ack. May want to explain the inner voice to the new players.
As to sailor they are all with eyes closed so using the
2 spells is kinda difficult especially since they are
unconscious. IT requires awake and them looking at you for
my universe. Seduction could be argued differently but
that could actually kill the dying or wounded men by increasing
heart flow and bleeding out more. But once healed if you
want to try again let me know. But again sailors would
not want to be enthralled aginst their will so the gods
may not like that so much.
From Mournath: [Re: Actions]
'Well...bugger. I did not mean to end his life.' ...
GM: Ack. Since '..' I assume this was thought not said.
From Fremea: [Re: Actions]
Seeing the dead guy on the floor, Fremea looks around...
"This sure didn't go well it seems." Her smile says she...
GM: Ack.
From Kiet: [Re: Actions]
Having done nothing wrong, Kiet will happily follow any...
GM:
Ack.
----------------------------------------------------------------
[New Stuff]
[Marqi Frisda 23rd, 1636TH; Sivas, Marentia]
[Time: Minutes earlier]
The group leaves the sailor in the alley and head to the
docks to find the ship.
"As dashing as the sailor thought you were, I'll do my best
to try and keep my hands off of you," Arawn jovially replied,
shooting Damon a grin.
Damon grins and nods to the Alfar.
[Time: 10:30 am]
The wolf and Jaguar circle Arawn.
Watching the wolf and panther circle and pace, Arawn's
thoughts drifted back to the black panthers he had spotted
during his time in the Vassa and Sacred Forests. To others it
might have seemed a coincidence but for some, himself included,
it was an omen. To see one now, in such an odd place,
represented mystery and self-discovery - it seemed a journey was
set to begin, spiritual and physical. But who was it meant for?
[Time: 10:34 am]
Maelorna sighs as she walks up, her other half finds the
smell of death and dying enjoyable. 'Perhaps little one we can
play a bit? The irritant appears to be busy, oooh, look at that
one, the meal's almost dead, he might scream nicely as we feed,
how about it?' it asks with a playful tone, 'It's not like the
irritant will notice.' as she rolls her eyes, though she gives
Arawn a side long glance, he does appear busy at the moment.
The weight of her crossbow gives her little comfort as she can
easily guess how quickly he could end her life if he chose.
Though at the moment she had little concern for such nor the
chaos the others were doing, content to just let them kill and
do all the work.
'The disgusting dwarf actually needed her help for what?' she
asks herself as she looks down at a dying sailor and kneels
down and caresses his cheek while giving him as much a
comforting look as she can, and makes the choice. The sailor
might be dying, but she can at least give him purpose and
pleasure before he passes on. Using Seduction EL 4, she
attempts to make him hers.
Arawn hears Raddok murmur about things going wrong.
Raddok's quick prayer catches Arawn's attention, his eyes
narrowing, though whether from suspicion or pleasure is hard to
tell. "So it would appear," he replied, continuing to tend to
the downed wounded. "There's suspicion of slavery on this ship
and I think the dwarves may have been among the enslaved."
Arawn steps back from Radddock and becomes invisible but
as he walks the blood on the boots show where he is
going. Arawn sheathes his sword and looks around the deck.
His medical kit by his side Arawn sought to stabilize the
condition of the fallen that yet lived. As he did so he glanced
at the man stumbling through an array of languages.
"What happened here?," he asked, speaking in Salaqi. "And you
can help me save the rest of your companions."
As the rest of the party began to make their way on to the
deck his disembodied voice carried from a spot not far from
Raddok.
"Some of these men are still alive, but barely. I'm tending to
them best I can but could use some help."
The Elder dwarf speaks up as Arawn goes around checking
each body.
Arawn was able to make out the dwarf's comments but only
roughly, the language related to Faerry Sidh. But that seemed
enough to get the gist of the elder's question.
"No," he replied regarding his connection to the crew.
"There was a battle. I came to find out what is going on."
Raddok notices Arawn having difficulty trying to understand
the dwarf and knows the tall elf seems to know Donaran so
Raddok translates dwarf into Donaran.
Raddok tries to help Arawn with the wounded as Mae tries
to find a nice target. Dorhak stalks the deck as he looks
for clues and finds the open hatch to the hold on the top
side - the smell repels him away.
No one notices a couple dwarves slip down the stairs.
[Captain's office]
'Well...bugger. I did not mean to end his life.' Looking
around at the charred papers -far beyond legibility- Mournath
instead takes a keen eye to sweeping the room. It's possible
the Captain did not have time to reach all the papers. In
particular the ones that he would keep hidden from any customs
agents or tax collectors.
Seeing the dead guy on the floor, Fremea looks around to
assess the situation. It seems something was being burned,
paper most likely and Mournath killed the dead guy to make
sure it stopped. Unali has stamped out some papers, though
they don't look very good. She is not sure there is much to
do here, though it seems Mournath is looking for something
now.
"This sure didn't go well it seems." Her smile says she is
joking, but also knows it would have been better to keep that
one alive, since it could be the captain. "Anything I can help
with?" She looks to see if the blind lady is still there. When
she sees her, "What is your name, blind one?"
Unali looks up to see Fremea and the blind girl now in full
leathers. She looks down as she sorts through the ashes as best
she can to see what was lost or not lost.
Mournath steps around the room and knows a captain's quarters
like any other. But this is much smaller. He leans down to
look around the chest and finally under the bed. Under the bed
he notices a case and reaches in to grab it. On the handle seems
to be some kind of rattle with a feather. But if captains have
secret stores it would be this case probably. He plops the case
onto the bed.
The blind girl replies to Fremea, "Ix." in what seems to
be Marentian. But she doesn't answer the other question yet.
Unali looks up and notices the case. The blind girl also
steps forward not ignoring Fremea but curious by the sudden
noise of the rattle. It is almost familiar. She steps around
the alcove and looks at the bed. She leans in closer for
a better sense of what the item must be but it seems so
familiar.
Mournath tries the lock and finds the case locked. He
flips the rattle which seems to make noise with a snake
tail rattle. He shrugs and pulls the feather thing away
pulling the small string away and shakes it. Wondering what
this is for.
Unali raises a hand toward Mournath to stop him from touching
the case but it becomes too late when he grabs the string-feather
item thing.
Ix hears a faint drum and a slight breeze on the item
being shaken. Then she realizes what this item is.
Unali notices around the Captain's body a red hue form and
quickly fade as it appears.
[Top deck]
Mae finds a guard with a long sword among big muscles
and finds his eyes flutter. He gurgles for help and then
looks to Arawn to see if he can save the man. But then decides
to cast a spell and see if she can get a pet.
[Alley]
Z'leyra explains. "Guys! You are letting a slaver escape! Kiet
and I were chasing him. Now...he is going to be gone before we
can capture him. The crew of his ship were enslaving folk from
this city, abducting them right off the street!"
Having done nothing wrong, Kiet will happily follow any
(reasonable) command the guards give. He will even answer
most of their questions, letting them know that he was just
trying to catch up to a ship's officer to ask him some questions
about his ship and cargo.
Kiet will even tell them that men from that ship attacked and
tried to abduct a dwarf he knows as Dorhak. Some of Kiet’s
friends, including Z'leyra, thought the ship crew might have
been engaged in slavery, though silly to try to enslave
dwarfs.
The guard looks to the flour pile on Z'leyra's
shoulder. "Describe what he looks like quickly."
Z'leyra does this and raises her voice so that Corona can
hear her own description.
Once done the leader turns to his left. Nods to one of his
men. "Find and detain."
The man turns his horse around and rides fast toward the
intersection and then heads to the direction last seen of
the officer.
"My fastest horse here. Now let's go to this ship. I
have a lot of questions. You two seems to be very fast
runners for some time so we'll keep up move on."
Kiet and Z'leyra turn and run back toward the ship.
[Time: 10:38 am]
Actions? Comments?
Next Update....Saturday...
GM: A short update but wanted this out. Just a head's up.
In Florida storms can be bad. As such I turn off the pc
to avoid damage. So updates may be delayed. Some
summers there are no storms and some there are every day.
They tend to come 3-4 but randomly can be any time even
8am. Next update I'll move guards to the ship. They
will start to question and see what is going on. From
now on it may go very slow here as updates may be short
spans of times - minutes. Depending on the leader - Dorhak
and others how they explain things. Investigation could take
hours or more. I need to check the file on the deaths
and wounds. So will do that next and see how any are
alive or just wounded.
GM: Introducing IX! akat Blind girl. Played by Rachelle Gauthier
aka Neko in Skype. :) She actually joined maybe 6 months ago
when I was doing IBT. So finally she can finally join!!!
Sorry for delay. Trying to get group to the ship was a
bit of delay. Actually NO update will be out Saturday.
I'll post HER IBT. Yes she did a IBT. :) So next
update will be next tue/wed. Welcome aboard Neko! Ix
let me know how you want listed as Class/Job in Roster.
GM: Arawn - Moving wounded for Mist could be bad. It will take
time to assess each. The ship is probably 100 feet long
with bodies all strewn about. You can use Communicate or
Raddok can translate for you if needed let me know.
Dorhak: Ready for guards and lots of questions? May want to
prepare but got a week. :) If want to prepare planned
answers to typical questions you can.
Mournath - I would've skyped this to ask but I figure
you'd be curious to find such items and 'mess' with
it. Plus its a plot filler. :) So hope you understand.
But you were offline in skype.
Raddok - Bess I got email late or rather I just now
noticed. If you had a reply I'm sorry. I'll add it
to the next update. You can post to the list
directly if need be now :)
Unali - Will try to get details on papers on desk later.
