[Recap]
From Fremea: [Re: Actions]
<OOC - Discord is great idea.
Use it for a few things myself already. My vote
is yes for the return of Don - always fun to have
returning people. Hello to the new person>
Fremea sees all the new lights
and wonders if she should go to the
GM: Ack. Yeah I'm on a lot of
discords. Its good for like sharing pics or
quick notes. But I don't read every single channel due to time. :<
From Kiet: [Re: Actions]

a snake. He’s busy with that
In Marentian, Kiet speaks out "My people are known to travel
GM: Ack.
From Chris: [Re: joining game]
<OOC - Hi everybody and well
met. My name is Chris, and I am new to the
PBEM. Thank you all for keeping this game alive
and for allowing me to join. I'm still working
on my application, and just getting as much
information digested as possible. This is a
massive world, and I have so much to learn.
Mr. Adams is helping me with my character, as
well. It has been so long time since I have
played the game, I really feel nervous. I played
when I was a kid, and to be honest we didn't know
what we were doing back then... LOL.
Thank you again and hopefully will be chatting more with you all soon!>
GM: Ack. First no mr adams stuff!
Make me feel old! :) Scott or Longshot is fine.
:) No need to be nervous. 99% of pbem is pure
role playing. 1% is the character sheet
stuff. The sheet is there to guide but its
mostly rping. :) Did you get my last email
asking if you want to do pc or me? Since in
discord now if want to chat let me know voice or
via DM/email. Welcome aboard! As to the app its
only 4-5 basic questions. I've used the info
only for google searches in case a player fades away and can't find them. :)
From Raddok: [Re: Actions]
[I already have over a dozen
discord channels, which I mostly don't use,
except for FXIV & ESO. It's a great way to ask
questions & keep in touch, & easy to link into
other sites, such as the P&P website. My vote is
yes. I assume the game itself goes on per email,
as before? Also, I have an apartment inspection
coming up Monday, so am going to be busy.]
{my apologies - you can change
snake-spiders to snake-apes - or not - I had
forgotten & Raddok had the creepy-crawlies
anyway, so maybe that's what he felt they were like – lol}
Raddok is willing to go along
with the offered compromise & hopes
“Has that snake been found yet, Kiet? It's creepy that you
GM: Ack. Yes game will be here still
on list. Discord is meant for ooc or general chit-chat or questions.
From Dorhak: [Re: Actions]
Dorhak is completely embarrassed
to have to stoop so low as to

Dwarf Elder. "Good lad. We'll be

From Z'leyra: [Re: Actions]

Z'leyra sheaths her sword and
GM: Ack.
From John: [Re: Welcome to Chris]
Welcome aboard, Chris! Looking
forward to interacting in the game. And no need
to be nervous. It took me a bit to adjust to the
game again as well. But I'm sure Scott and
everyone else will help you out. Just focus on
RPing and I'm sure you'll be fine:)
GM: Ack. Yep now your one of the most
active players! To the others John is dealing
with Flu so a bit unable to post for now. He
will return once health comes back to him.
From Kiet: [Re: Actions]
Kiet will help tie the prisoners and hoist them on the horses.
"Aye, Cap'n."
GM: Ack.
From Raddok: [Re: Welcome to Chris]
[Welcome, Chris! Glad to have
you with us. I'm pretty new here, too - this is
my 1st PBeM game with the group. Long been a fan
of the game & its world, & very happy to find fellow fans.]
Raddok is greatly relieved at
Dorhak's orders (Yay for having

From Pyan: [Re: Actions]
Pyan considers Dorhak's words. Pyan considered himself quite
GM: Ack.
From Z'leyra: [Re: Actions]
Z'leyra offers to play as the
quiet female bodyguard type for this trip
onshore. This will allow her to have her chain on under her cloak and to
have her various weapons, mostly concealed under her cloak.
GM: Ack.
From Dorhak: [Re: Actions]

after we make the deals. I would

getting the mass of a dwarf would be hard. Your too skinny. :)

[New Stuff]
[Ma 3rd, 1636TH]
[Time: 4:45 am – Besam, Eastern Lands]
Fremea sees all the new lights and
wonders if she should go to the cave and warn
everyone, but then realizes that could be a bad
thing also, because she would remove her surprise
for just in case. She gets close to the cave to
find out what is going. Before she does, she
makes sure her invis is still good.
As she nears, she can hear more of
that language, and then the translation comes
outside. It seems that they are wanting to check
all arrows. She doesn't remember if she shot
through the portal, but is pretty sure she
didn't, however it would be best to not make
herself known at this time and instead flies back
up to a good place to rest on the trees and watch things.
Kiet’s busy trying to finish off a
snake. He’s busy with that because he doesn’t want to get bitten!
But he hears the funny looking dwarf
say something that simply can’t be true. His
neck cracks as he snaps his head around to look
at the smooth faced visitor. It can’t be. It’s
the stuff of whispers, rumors and legends. The Eastern Lands?
There were rumors about red skinned
slaves, but Kiet didn’t lend any credence to
them. Certainly there were no mention of
dwarves, especially follicle challenged ones.
In Marentian, Kiet speaks out "My
people are known to travel to this land to take slaves and trade."
Dorhak listens to Kiet a bit absently
and this also seems to confirm the notion that Lemasans here are raiders.
Kiet begins to get upset he can't
find the snake. It is no where near the bags or
horses. He wonders if the thing found a small hole to venture into?
Raddok is willing to go along with
the offered compromise & hopes others agree.
Although he doesn't want to carry an unconscious
man, he thinks he wouldn't mind dragging one tied
up in a blanket. He grins in anticipation -
head-first or feet-first? Nah - he's better not
let the head drag -better his backside or belly.
He wonders if someone could wake up, & if his
sheathed weapons would be in the dragged raider's
range - not good. Better be tied up first & a
sling made from a rope over chest & under
shoulders, with raider's hands tied behind the
back maybe? He could loop the sling & wear one end at waist/hip level.
Thinking about it, how many were
there to be carried? Maybe just sling them over
the horses & tie hands & feet to stirrups or
under horse's belly. Then don't have to carry at
all; horses could even carry two of the
blighters, if necessary - much better idea! He
speaks up. "May we sling these raiders over their
horses, & tie them to the saddles - they can't
escape if they wake up, & we'll get you back to
your home faster. I'll be glad to lead a horse or
two." He sheathes his mace & shield in
preparation. As he does, he spots the ring on his
finger & decides quickly that he'll forget it
exists - for the time being. He sends a brief
prayer to the gods in general that the hidden
party members stay well out of sight, if Dorhak doesn't call them in.
"Has that snake been found yet, Kiet?
It's creepy that you can't find it." Despite
himself, Raddok feels the hair along his neck & spine start to rise.
Dorhak is completely embarrassed to
have to stoop so low as to speak his sacred
language to, to, a heretic. Debasing. But at
least it worked. He didn’t want to harm these people over a misunderstanding.
To Gnorff, he shifts back to Dwarf
Elder. "Good lad. We'll be along after we sort out these thieves."
In Marentian, he calls out to the
group "All right! We have some work to
do. Z'leyra, would you talk to the horses and
let them know we will need them to haul their
former masters. Kiet! You, Mournath and anybody
else that knows how to tie things up do so with
the prisoners on the horses. I’ll be double
damned if I’m gonna haul them on my back! The
rest of you help hoist them on the horses."
where did that little faerry get off to. Hmmmm.
"Looks like we are going to go meet some new friends."
Following Dorhak's instructions
Z'leyra sheaths her sword and goes to talk to the
horses and deal with their tack and how to tie
the prisoners on the backs of the horses.
Gnorf leans toward Dorhak, “glad you
agree. We will wait outside.” He then whispers
a bit low, “all female humans you live with
are..like that?” He nods to Z'leyra and motions
with hands noticing a figure of muscles and using
heavy arms. “Our females are bit more..docile.”
To Z'leyra the horses grumble as best
a horse can. They complain they were due a rest
after a long day of moving. But after a couple
minutes Z'leyra convinces them to finally agree.
Kiet will help tie the prisoners and hoist them on the horses.
"Aye, Cap'n."
At least their are horses to carry the dead weight.
Kiet uses his teamster skills to best fit the men on the horses.
Raddok is greatly relieved at
Dorhak's orders (Yay for having those horses!) &
joins Z'leyra, using his teamster skills to
assist in securing the sleeping raiders to the
horses, and watching the ground around his & the
horses' feet for the elusive snake.
Pyan considers Dorhak's words. Pyan
considered himself quite good a knot tying back
home but seeing the sailors working the rigging
he's not so sure of his skills.... He decides help tie up the prisoners.
For Pyan he helps greatly by storing
gear and hauling the sleepers to the horses in main cave.
"You may as well wait until after we
make the deals. I would wonder why so many
foreigners from a ship had horses so quickly,
especially good horses." Dorhak replies to Raddok on the horses.
Fremea sat listening to all the back
and forth on what to do. She wondered if she
should speak up on anything, but really didn't
have any ideas that would help out, so she stayed
silent. One thing she could agree upon though is
that she would definitely be better off as a
silent scout and watcher for when the action was
needed rather than with the party directly. She
thought it would be interesting to disguise
herself as a dwarf, knowing she could get the look of one, but never the smell.
Besides if she did that, she would
not be able to have any of her things with her,
so being unseen is much better. Of course she
will have to be careful too and make sure she is
watching Unali's back at the same time, though shouldn't be too difficult.
Finally she spots the weird no-beard
dwarf leave the cave and order his allies to
group up in a circle around cave. She uses this
chance to enter back into the cave. Unseen.
Fremea does make an offer though, "I
can transmute some paper, or a plant into looking
like shackles that can even make the right noise
for shackles, but would be easy to rip off or
break out of. That way no one would mistake them or see through them."
Over the next 10-15 minutes the party
goes to move prisoners to horses and pack their
bags. It is quickly learned that best to place
men on horses outside as the cave entrance is too
small and they'd fall off. The cave is then
cleared out of gear and items left behind.
Kiet does one finally pass with
lantern for that elusive snake but figures it escaped.
Outside Dorhak frowns. While Dorhak
carries mace and shield and is dressed in a light
part of tunic and pants the other Besamar here
are all men in loin cloths! He hopes they don't
bend or wind reveals things – especially if they
are hairless up top they may be hairless all over the body! Disgusting.
These dwarves are carrying clubs and
spears and at least 2 are carrying
crossbows. Dorhak notices a lot more than
expected and realizes that must be the
reinforcements Fremea mentioned. But they look
more like farmers than warriors.
[Time: 5:02 am – Besam, Eastern Lands]
With prisoners ready to be
transported and party has all weapons sheathed –
except Fremea who is yet to be seen – the party moves out.
Gnorf leads the way and the group is
lead through light forest away from the cave. As
the terrain begins to lower its angle it becomes
more flat and less prone to chaotic terrain of
obstacles that can be tripped on.
[Time: 5:37 am – Besam, Eastern Lands]
During the trip the Lemasans
wake up and try to struggle but are prevented from escape easily.
The Besamar have been quiet as they
carry torches and surround the party. By now
Fremea is visible but avoids being seen as she
flies from tree to tree. Finally a couple of
lights are seen in the distance as the party
nears Gnorfs village. The village is probably 3
or 4 dozen huts. There are two more Besamar
dwarves on patrol watching the village. But it
seems like the village is asleep.
Gnorf raises a hand and ends up about
a mile away. “Far enough! We will take the
horses and prisoners. Since you refuse to remove
arms you will remain here. Who will enter the
village with me? That representative will be
required to disarm. This is for our safety of our families.”
As the dwarves take the horses and
prisoners into the village Gnorf waits for a
reply. The party watches the dwarves quietly
take the horses and move to a medium sized hut.
Probably a make shift prison or shack for
supplies. The prisoners are tossed inside and 4 guards are posted.
Gnorf becomes impatient, “my ale is
getting warm! Hurry up and decide!”
GM: Actions? Comments?
