[Recap]
From Fremea: [Re: Actions]
Fremea smiles at the thought of having some fun on a
whole village. "Yes, I accept." She is pissed off that...
GM: Ack.
From Pyan: [Re: Actions]

Pyan practices his Eagle with Arawn and Corona, telling them a
story in the bird's language. He asks Arawn fore help with the
words he doesn't know yet. It's a dramatic tell of a hunt for a
ferocious animal. He goes on about the terrible damage the beast
was doing to the villages cultivations and the heated chases
though he wilderness. It finally ends with the revealing that
the beast was a over-sized rabbit. Corona seems to appreciate the
tell of the terrible bunny more than Arawn does.
More comments inlined with the reply below
I was just gauging interests, so I know If I would be worth it
converting Perilous lands stuff to YiffieMon. I'm currently
running a PBEM with my Fience who has a phobia about writing
Emails. She says she'lll accept what ever actions I give her
but It's hard not knowing How she would like her character
to act. I have to base it on my pass no gaming emails with
her and her Blog to figure out what she likes. Thou she does
say I'm doing a good job at it when she does respond, I
wonder if she's just being polite....
Speaking of Fringeworthy where exactly are the damage tables
you go on about/ Which edition and page? I can't find them in
my collection but I didn't have time to reread the whole
thing again.
It funny I have no intrest in actual having sex but When ever
I write I keep geting idea for interesting Romances and IF I
don't write them out I get writers block. It disheartening
when your novella turns into a 1 page short story because
you had to remove the sex scenes.
I like hard scifi is Fantasy
garb.
I like my technology sufficiently advanced that it is magic.
That is like it when there is logical physics based reasons
for the way magic works the way it does.
For example how to do you fix a snorlax into pokeball.
Changing his density isn't a problem but you still have
conservation of mass/energy to deal with so How do you make i
t light enough to carry? Well weight isn't based slowly on
mass but also on how far down in a gravity well you are so to
lighten it all you have to do is envest the energy to lift
the object out of the gravity well until it's the desired
weight. That leave you with just inertia but with out the
drag heavy object are easy to move.
I guess I'm just a math nerd. I find the bookwork relaxing
and enjoyable.
It's ether sex or deep philosophical issues with me and it's
easier to find people that like thinking about new posible
sexual experiences than it is to find people willing to
question their core beliefs. :( ++++
My SpellJammer campaign won't start until this PBEM
ampaign ends. I don't have enough mental energy to try
to come up with things for Pyan to do and run two PBEM c
ampaigns of my own.
I have noting specifically setup for the PBEM yet. But I
have I Wiki for my Variant of PnP YiffieMon Wiki I've been
active rejiggering the character advancement to be more in l
ine with your house rules an my changes to the Vitality
system.
YiffieMon Wiki
Gotta yiff a YiffieMon! Welcome to the unofficial home of
the YiffieMon RPG system and Campaign settings. New to...
GM: Ack. Corona enjoys the story and will add a D10 of experience
for the effort. Glad you'd share that with the eagle. For
your Fiance I'd let her study other pbems. Show its not
a scary place. If she doesn't like emails say what we
say its a Post not a email. A Post to a mailing list
is technically NOT a email. Email is implied to be private
to private. A mailing list or a forumn is public thus
its a post like facebook. So if she does FB she can handle it. :)
Can explain it that way. Just a suggestion. As to tables
I'd have to find. Keep in mind this is the original 1980
1st edition book. There have been 3 more I believe. The
current is a d10 based system. For the 1st ed I typed up
the entire book - well 90%? 95%? of it up into a text
file and did the entire set of tables into old programs
I wrote. Unsure if they work on modern pcs but I can
find them if so desire. I have files on this pc. Looks like
the document I did is 1000 lines. Probably not the entire
books like all the charts but the core stuff. I've not
read the file in a couple decades. :) The programs still
work on win98. I'll see if I can test them on my win7
machine when I can and do screen capture of the charts
if I can. Programs made in basic. Way back in 80s.
Stay tuned. But yeah if you are looking at older versions
it may be gone. Dunno. As to sex stuff most pbems do it
hardly or ignore it. In this pbem I actually have a budding
romance going on. Its behind scenes IBT stuff. But it
adds spice. Its hard to do such without lengthy round
robin stuff. Table top or voice chat is best for such like
a recent Greyhawk game I listen to on Twitch had 2 folks
in a simple romance scene. It was very nice to watch te
guy and gal on screen talking and speaking like a true
movie. Many players are too shy for such. Other stuff
are good points. Scifi tech is fine but it can be like
magic a easy way out. I point my Super-Gadget and stop
that asteroid from hitting the planet. Ho hum. Techno
babble as they call it. Just can bog it down if done
poorly. Write whatever suits you best. Keep in mind not all
players enjoy X or Y. As to talk at table about some
date/romance other players are bored to tears. Its a hard
balance. As long as we delay things like this treasure
hunt it will take longer. This is a simple random
encounter so if we react to such things it will increase
the end date. So when this ends who knows. As I said
though I'll put it for a vote then on the future next year.
Wonder if I should add a Wiki. I dunno. Maybe one day.
From Dorhak: [Re: Actions]
Dorhak is somewhat concerned over the events after...
GM: Ack.
-------------------------------------------------------------
[New Stuff]
[Apris 10th, 1636TH]
[Time: Earlier after Fremea is healed.]
Dorhak is somewhat concerned over the events after the giant's
rather warm demise. Everybody trying to run off and get
themselves killed. And then there was the other incident. The
one that had to be dealt with.
Dorhak goes to Fremea after she gets back and tells her
"Lass. You're a creature of the air, not the sea. You almost
ended up as fish food. Next time, maybe you should be a bit
less impetuous. Whatever treasure there might have been is a
pittance compared to the treasure you are."
After the work parties get started, Captain Dorhak sees
about helping with any woodwork there is to be done. His
efforts won't look pretty, but maybe they will be enough to get
this wounded tub to the next port.
[Time: 6:28 pm]
The mermaids stare at Fremea. Waiting for an answer.
Fremea glances over at the others and Arawn. It is
clear he is confused why he isn't asked for the favor.
Letting her do this favor could actually be far more
damage on a human's mind than helping these 2 mermaids.
Unless there is a large population of them. Then
again a flying demong-thing, as humans tend to see
Fremea, flying around works as well for a good scare.
Fremea smiles at the thought of having some fun on a
whole village. "Yes, I accept." She is pissed off that she
could not quite reach the giant all the way, her swimming
skills are not as well practiced and she will have to get
better.
Fremea asks for a few minutes to get ready. THe
mermaids agree OF course the summoned creatures may
go before then if the spell ends. Unless they choose
to be here until the favor is done then it will delay
that duration.
Fremea waves over Kiet and begins to whisper to him
asking him a few questions. Kiet chuckles at the
comments and ideas.
While Kiet and Fremea talk the second mermaid dives
after getting a signal from the first.
[Time: 6:35 pm]
When Fremea leaves Dorhak figures this is the time
to act on the situation.
When the first mate has finished her rest from being
'pronged' by the trident, Dorhak asks that she join him in his
cabin. "Shut the door" he tells her, then sits down.
"Z'leyra. I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt and
assume you were just confused after you near death. But you
cannot countermand the orders of your Captain on this ship. I
ordered the ship away from that monstrosity and you shouted out
an order to stop. It's not your place. It's literal mutiny.
Before we left port, you promised to follow my orders on this
trip. I was careful to make sure I got that promise from you
since you are the senior member of this crazy group."
Dorhak sighs and shakes his head. Then he looks at her
with a very determined face and quietly says "Don't do it again.
Or it will be considered mutiny and the penalty won't be
withheld."
Before she can get a word out he says "Dismissed!"
After she leaves he sits there wondering how he would
ever impose such a punishment, knowing in the end that it
wasn't bloody likely.
[Time: 6:38 pm]
Kiet listens to the plan and agrees. He casts a personal
illusion on Fremea to change her into a mermaid. Fremea
wipes her hair away to display her assets to the men of
the village. While she is small for a mermaid she will
look the part.
Fremea then hovers over the last mermaid as the second
is gone. The mermaid stares at the hovering wingless
sister. She frowns and Fremea explains the short
plan but suggests they move. The mermaid nods and
points in a direction and they both move in water and in
air toward the bay.
Eventually the mermaid listens to the plan and
quietly agrees. She rather not have a person of
her kind involved but it may be a good way to scare the
humans. The second mermaid arrives with a leather
bag and yells for Fremea to grab it. Fremea grabs
it and looks inside. She frowns and smiles at the same
time.
The first mermaid explains her own plan parts.
Fremea agrees and they move to the bay which is actually
abut 2 miles east of ship.
Flying high over the trees Fremea carries the bag
and spots the village. A very small sleepy fishing
village at most the size of 100 or 150? The docks
are very small and at the exit of a small stream that
goes inland.
Fremea flies toward the single small boat and finds two
men on board. They are hauling in fish and placing in
barrels. Fremea flies further on toward a few buildings
with folks around the street in a very small market. Still
hovering in mermaid form she yells out in Faerry a battle
howl.
A dozen or so folks, about 9 adults and 3 kids, turn
and stare. A female in her early 20s screams at seeing
Fremea. "Flying Fish lady!" One male says or at least
that is what Fremea thinks he said in Bhamotin as she
doesn't know the language fully.
Fremea speaks slow enough to ensure her Bhamotin words
are understood.
"You will hear me now! You will all stop over fishing
in this area. You are too small a village to need more
than you collect!!"
"Get the hunters! Shoot it down!"
"Keep the kids safe!"
Fremea continues, "you will also stop polluting the
stream with your village wastes!"
The villagers look confused.
"Putting your wastes in the water!" She figures the
simple folk don't understand pollution. It has the
sea and the fish!"
Fremea spots a older man raising a bow and reaching
for a arrow in his quiver. Fremea gets within 40
feet of him and continues, "Otherwise you will be
eating..." She speaks the words in her own native
tongue and casts a spell on the old man. Suddenly
the man is transmuted into a large fish. "..Until there
is none of you left!"
The females all begin to scream or scamper away hold`
the kids.
Fremea selects a second adult male in his 30s who is
hiding behind a wagon. She casts the spell on him and
he becomes a large flapping fish out of water.
"If you do not agree! We will send our friend the
large sea giant to this village and eat you all!" With
that she opens the bag and dumps the contents out. Two
human male heads roll out and roll on the dirt ground.
The females scream and run away one old lady forgets
the two kids she was holding.
Fremea was told the mermaid found them in the lair
of the giant probably some recent kills. One is
in fair shape but the other looks to be half decayed
of maybe 3-4 weeks.
A man rushes to get the first fish to place it in
a barrel of water to survive.
Someone exits a small building and yells out!
"We agree! Will slow down our fishing!"
Fremea nods the plan wasn't to stop it all together
but to simply slow it down. The mermaids know if
all fish is collected they'll be hunted. So the
fish is a good barrier.
Fremea notices one boy around 8 stares at her but does not
seem worried at all. She flies toward him but the
female holding him jerks the kid back. "I like your
wings." The boy said and Fremea figures the boy sees
through her illusion.
Fremea flies to the old man who was the town spokesman.
She stares at the man. "Eyes up here!" You better heed
our words or no one will be alive here soon!"
Even under threat of death why do men stare at the naked
female body! Fremea shakes her head as she takes to
the air a flying mermaid.
She soon finds the mermaids and tells the results. "Fine.
We shall see if it happens. We could take the village
but it would cause a avalanche of attacks on us." They
begin to swim away. "We will show you the lair."
The mermaids dive and swim fast but Fremea keeps watch.
They pass the ship and head further out to sea a couple
miles. One mermaid surfaces and says, "below here is
the lair. Where we got the heads. It is around 400 feet
for you land walkers. We said we'd show you where it was
not how to get there."
Fremea asks how they can find it again. The mermaid
says when the ship gets near she will send a water
funnel to mark the spot. Then they both submerge. Fremea
was always aware of the giant's body so returns to the
ship.
[Time: 6:55 pm]
Fremea returns to the ship and explains her findings.
Arawn frowns. They won't help them get to the lair?
I guess that is their problem now.
Actions? Comments?
Next Update...Thursday/Fri/Sat?
GM: I wanted to do the scaring of village far more than
above. But a storm is in area and wanted to end
this update and not delay it another day. So sorry
its short and not so detailed. I also messed up
the alignment a bit but no time to fix. I am unsure
if off Fri yet so I may try next update Thur or Fri
(if off) or Saturday. But getting this out for now.
Now what's the plan to get to the giant body (the
sharks are still around) and the lair?
We have a storm in area so this may affect any
future updates later this week.
