[Recap]
From Dorhak: [Re: Actions]
"Tell him it’s a knife and a toy shield. And you people are
GM: Ack.
From Fremea: [Re:Actions]
Fremea makes sure Unali finds
the rock, and quickly descends to
GM: Ack. I still gotta figure out if
you guys run/fly or teleport to cave. ;) I'll msg/email before this goes live.
From Raddok: [Re:Actions]
[I am not getting all the
information that is summed up in the new updates.
I am getting Dorhak & Arawn, but not even all of
those. Are there cell phones involved, although I
do see iphone notifications? I feel I may be
making out-of-date action suggestions or missing
something promising a different direction. For
example, what 'tapping a shield 3 times'? And
'Pyan starts to move...' --- I did not get those.
There were at least two things I did not receive
from the last update or two either. --- is
something different in ways information is being
sent? Is it going thru PBeM, or are some of us
sending private emails to Scott? (I confess I
have done the same thing in the past, when not
sure if I needed to act either this way or that -
like, does Raddok see something on the cave
roof?)] Maybe that's why a summary of emails is posted at start of update?
Just want to know if I'm missing something I should know.
GM: Ack. You are fine. It is usually
2 issues. Gmail will mess up emails/list
stuff. If not its the mailing list. In this
case Wout has rebooted list pc and it seems fine
now. I got those missing posts. Without
technical info it looks like the list spool kept
the posts and didn't post out till rebooted. But
looks like this time Comcast had server issues
with list. So its many factors. This is why I
posted my post on archives. This is why I post a
recap here of all public posts so if its here it
got out if not then it never did. Email actions
like from Unali do not get posted unless specific
actions. So its possible to ignore all other
posts and just read updates as it'll sum it all up regardless.
From Raddok: [Re: Actions]
[Just a quick note for
now.] Raddok will automatically translate
everything Velf says to the dwarves in Dwarf
Elder throughout this adventure, unless he has a
very good reason to pretend he does not hear Velf
(like instructions from Arawn or Dorhak to 'not'
hear). He will translate back to Velf exactly
what Dorhak says to say in response to Velf. He
hopes that his understanding of Dwarf Elder is up
to the task, although so far, the language needs
have been basic enough to communicate easily.
At hearing that Dorhak may
become separated from the party by magic, he is
both startled and appalled by Velf's intentional
lack of warning, and has to hide both fear for
Dorhak & his fury toward Velf. He prepares for he knows not what.
GM: Ack. Understood but I figure
you'd be a diplomatic translator. Not translate
say Dorhak's verbal abuse to Velf? But if you prefer it all that's fine. ;)
From Dorhak: [Re: Actions]
I didn’t get the latest update.
I had to go to Scott’s website to read it.
GM: Ack. Hopefully fixed now.
From Z'leyra: [Re: Actions]
With sword and board (shield)
ready, Z'leyra stands back, looking around, ready
to intercede and protect any party member from any attack.
GM: Ack.
From Arawn: [Re: Actions]
Upon hearing the riddle Arawn
considered the divine message ...
"Not that the answer should be
limited to only one thing but I
GM: Ack.
From Wout: [Re: List]
As there seem to be connection
problems from Comcast to the server, just trying if this gets thru
GM: Ack. Thanks. I appreciate all you do for servers and your site.
From Dorhak: [Re; Actions]
Dorhak tries hard not to pounce
on his gear. He throws on the
"Virginity!" He says in dwarf elder.
GM: Ack.
From Raddok: [Re: Actions]
Raddok thinks about the riddle.
"What could
perhaps a deep secret? Once shared with another
GM: Ack. Good job.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
[New Stuff]
[Ma 3rd, 1636TH]
[Time: 1:00 pm – South-East of Ma'Dor]
[Moments before questioned when Dorhak is given gear.]
Velf looks bored but watches.
"Tell him it’s a knife and a toy
shield. And you people are all armored. I am
not. I’m sure a knife is very scary to
bully-boy." Dorhak then adds, "Sorry Kiet. It is appreciated."
[Outside topside]
Fremea teleports herself and Unali to
the cement block above cave.
Back at Ma'Dor, Fremea makes sure
Unali finds the rock, and quickly descends to
make sure nothing is a miss or any surprises
await them. You never know with these nasty humans anymore.
Fremea checks to make sure there is
nothing magical that could be triggered by her
either. When she sees it is all clear, she makes
sure Unali has descend already and quietly pops
inside the cave. Moving slowly and hovering just a little bit.
But she finds noting amiss until she
gets closer to party and notices the
wall. Namely the magical glowing rune-diamond things.
Unali quickly repels down the rope
with ease and climbs into the cave.
[Time: 1:06 pm – South-East of Ma'Dor]
Upon hearing the riddle Arawn
considered the divine message he had received and had just again shared.
"Not that the answer should be
limited to only one thing but I might suggest one answer to be Virginity."
Dorhak tries hard not to pounce on
his gear. He throws on the padded armor, then
the chainmail. He then picks up the shield and
his mace, then thrusts his throwing axe in his
belt. He shakes his head at this silliness. If
the wards already know he is a dwarf, what’s the
point of the questions? Maybe it’s a jest?
Velf glares at Dorhak then Raddok and
Arawn, “this was a prisoner? You often give such
that gear? We will talk on this more later for the deception. “
Dorhak repeats the question out loud so others can help.
dorhak doesn’t think of anything
besides what Arawn suggests. At least it
fits. Dwarves tend towards rules and propriety.
"Virginity!" He says in dwarf elder.
A few long moments pass then the
diamond-ward things glow red. “Incorrect.”
Velf sighs, “I'm unsure how many
guesses one can have. Second dwarf we tried here
guessed 8 times before he suddenly fell into
abyss. I think that wall thing...pulled him in. No need to translate that.”
Raddok thinks about the
riddle. "What could
perhaps a deep secret? Once
shared with another it is no longer exactly a
secret. Can shared knowledge really be a secret?"
Raddok shook his head. "Maybe that's too simple, or too obvious."
Dorhak shrugs and turns to the wall and stats secret.
A few moments pass. The diamond
rune-wards glow bright white. “Correct. Step
forward with faith and good heart.”
Velf claps his hands, 'no need to
translate...that was good guess. The 3-4 that
passed this point we believe had to have strong
will and a true belief...in what I'm not sure. I
theorize maybe some dwarf heritage or such?”
Velf turns to Dorhak, “good luck..”
then peers at the abyss below.
Actions? Comments?
Next Update...Saturday/Monday
GM: Good guess Raddok. I pause here for
reactions. So now everyone is in cave. Will do
next update Sat or Mon. Probably
Saturday. Still need to know who owns the 2 sets
of ropes used to climb down. Thanks. ;)
