Game Update #149 sequence (file #1113)
----------------------------------------------------------------
Admin Notes: Minor admin note. Last
update file # was 1109. Not 1081.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
[Recap]
From Raddok: [Re: Actions]
Raddok will continue to focus on killing #19, protecting the
GM: Ack. Yes don't see stairs, Unali or #1. Once can look around.
From Arawn: [Re: Actions]
Phase 9:
OOC: As Arawn had fired at #1
I figure he'd have noticed the witch and Unali
disappear in the same area even if he isn't able to see the stairs yet.
IC:
As Arawn's arrow plunged into the leader he saw Unali close
"Check on Unali!," he called out
in the direction of Opus, Kimis,
At the same moment he did this
he maneuvered himself slightly via levitation so
that the witches wouldn't know exactly where he
was. He put his bow away and prepared his buckler
and dagger, guiding himself so that he could
melee the witches while still maintaining height
advantage. (OOC: I figure all this will take
up his attack action but if he is able to pull
off a Martial Arts kick while doing so please feel free to roll for Arawn)
[Phase 10:
With his buckler and elven
dagger in hand he positioned himself to aid Pyan
or Z'leyra with their opponents (witch b or d),
moving to help Dorhak if the witches were already
done or the dwarf was in trouble.
He'll take advantage of
Invisibility and Height Advantage bonuses while in melee.
GM: Ack. Yes. You see Unali/#1 dip below the ground only.
From Raddok: [Re: Actions]
[OOC: my error - I guess
Mournath entirely disappeared. I had assumed some
dust or glittery remnants remained, like ash, to
blow away in the wind. Please correct my error if there's nothing to see.]
GM: Ack. You did fine. Yes there is
ash. Maybe clothing bits and maybe a boot or so.

[New Stuff]
[Ma 9th, 1636TH]
[Time: 2:30:24 pm]
[Phase 9]
Unali runs down the hall and enters a
small threshold to a room where she sees Fremea fighting 3 females.
[Time: Minutes before party finds this site]
Fremea flies off to face what lies ahead.....
As Fremea flies about 30-35 feet
above the dense canopy of trees, she spots a
group of vultures. She dives slightly to the
east and heads that way. Another 100 feet and she
scares the birds away. She looks down and sees
little. But Fremea gets lower near the ground and
finds a body of a Bes. Pulling her dagger she
scans for enemies but sees nothing. She lands
carefully and inspects the body. A single sword
piercing blow is seen mid chest and enough blood
shows it was a quick death. Its too clean to be
a animal or creature. She figures it to be a
blade of some kind. Probably a sword?
She sees the spear of the Bes with
blood so maybe the Bes got a good hit back. In
one hand is a piece of cloth, looks to be blue maybe from a tunic?
She is no tracker like Pyan. But she
tries to find a blood trail. It looks like a
faint one heading North east. She hovers in that
direction slowly to follow the trail that goes
for 30 or so feet. Then suddenly it stops. She
finds a bandage and a torn cloth from a blue
shirt or pants? Whoever it was they must've stopped the bleeding.
The trail ends. She flies toward the
NE to see if she can spot anything.
As she dodges and weaves among the
tall trees, she flies for 5 or so minutes. A
bird squawk makes her look to the right.
BAM!
Fremea suddenly finds herself
stopping by ...by..air? She slides down from the
impact dazed and a bruise forms on her forehead.
Wait. There is nothing there?
She flies a bit forward and waves her
dagger back and forth. It suddenly impacts
against air. No some invisible structure?
She reaches out and touches it to
find something solid there. She finds it's a
column or round chimney style thing. As she
circles it its about 5 feet wide. She moves down
and it's on the ground and seems to go underground?
But she can't locate a hatch or door?
She hovers upward to see how far high
this goes. It breaks the canopy which is about
60 feet high in this area. It goes up more and more. Another 40...60...
Finally she finds the top about 150
feet above the ground. All invisible.
She moves her hands above the top and
finds grooves where it may open. But she can't
find a knob or latch or anything.
It would take time to explore the
full surface to find a window or hole or such.
She wonders if she should alert Dorhak?
The sapphire doesn't seem to work. It may be not an actual lock.
Fremea considers her options. She has
some innate ability to cast some magic for her
Sidh based abilities. She decides to cast
Insubstantial and then Levitate so she can enter the structure.
Using the wand she lowers
herself. As she passes the top it does seem
maybe a hatch but no locks. But it is pitch
dark...so hard to tell. Since she can no longer
touch things she can't tell detail. But it looks
like it may be a hatch that uses a twist wheel to open?
About 70 feet down of the 150 you can see light at the bottom.
Another 10 feet the spells end. She becomes
solid again. As she descend on wings now she
hears a click, then from above, you look up to see a blue energy of ball.
It zooms toward Fremea and she tries to dodge but
it homes in and impacts her mind.
The psychic hammer bypasses her
resistance and she is shocked mentally.
She suddenly feels paralyzed and falls. She falls the 70 feet.
She gets lucky and lands on her back
on the ground hard knocking air out of her
lungs. But she is stunned by the hammer's spell.
A shadow falls above Fremea and she
glances up to see a form in the dim candle
light. "Hello Fremea...at least its not Thig."
Then a heavy object blams into
Fremea's head and she is knocked out.
Unsure how long time has passes..she
wakes up to find hands bound by steel? Cuffs or shackles.
There is a gag in her mouth probably
so you can't cast verbal magic.
A blindfold is over her eyes. A hood was placed
on the head so Fremea can't see anything but darkness.
Fremea can hear flickers of candles
and a person working footsteps...
"...he said they might find me. I must
"
The voice is a heavy accented
Marentian but with undertones of Ba'ru?
Then she hears a door close and feet moving away...
With aching headache she can't place
who the voice is. But clearly the man seems to
know her and Thig? To consider Thig a worse
threat shows he may have good info? But he is
underestimating her that's good for her. She
tries to move her hands which are behind her
back. Her necklace is around her neck and she
considers her next move. The footsteps seem to
be one person probably wearing boots on a floor of light – not hard – wood?
Etain taught her to use her other
senses and now it seems to come in hand.
Fremea listens carefully to make sure
the footsteps really did move away and then she
will use her training to get the cuffs in front
of her, so that she can use her sapphire on the cuffs.
Fremea listen to the footsteps and
they are clearly heavy so male. She tries to move
her bounds under her butt but the chain links
interfere as they interlock too tightly.
Then Fremea hears a voice. Muffled
but male from outside and sounds like slightly
up? She doesn't understand the voice. But it
seems agitated. Shocked. Angry.
Then she hears a muffled female
voice. Still unsure what is said. She seems to speak a quick series of words.
Then suddenly the male voice screams and ends.
Fremea retries and this time get
hands under her legs and with grace of a martial
artist pulls the cuffs around her feet. Watching
Kiet do some acrobatics and Unali as well gave her tips on how to do this.
Then it is easy to pull up the cuffs
to her neck and to the sapphire at her neck. She
hears a click. She pulls the gag out before anything.
Then more footsteps. It sounds like 1 or 2 ? maybe more?
These are lighter steps. Then a
female comes near and she speaks a few
words. Another female is heard and seems to ask
a question, it sounds like? Fremea gets the idea
they are talking about Fremea now.
By now cuffs are unlocked and it is
only a matter of effort to throw cuffs off and pull hood off if needed.
The first female voice which is the
one you heard outside answers and then seems to
move away slightly. The other female does
something which Fremea recognizes the sound of a
blade being pulled out of its sheath or holding place.
As Fremea hears the blade starting to
come out of its sheath, she will make a quick
strike attack (either to make the attacker prone
or at least stop the blade being pulled out) at
where the sound is and remove her hood at the
same time. Then a follow up attack with her dagger.
She counts not just to orient herself
in the space she is in and the time, but her soul
as Etain taught her to calm down. She slows her
breathing and time seems to slow down. She hears
the blade user seem to walk forward ever so
slightly as clothes rustle and she estimates time and distance.
Then the first female seems to speak
more strange words and Fremea is startled to hear
crumbling noises. As if a wall collapsed?
Sitting in a chair she should be
level to any blade coming her way. She braces
her feet to the front arm legs. Closer the rustling is heard.
She uses her legs and lunges off the
chair forward. She hopes the attacker is coming
to her directly in front. Ducking head
slightly she lunges and hits some person? Using
a martial arts sweeping leg roll she trips the
person together with her tackle and both fall to the ground.
Fremea moves her hands and throws off
the cuffs as she reaches to her head and pulls
the hood off. She sees 3 human females wearing
green and brown. Two are about 4 feet away
staring at her. The other is on the ground
startled. Fremea glances around to memorize the room.
Fremea spots her bag and weapons in a corner but too far!
Fremea can also see to her left and
above seems to be a destroyed section of the
room? Part of a wall and is that a desk or chair?
The tackled female gets to her hands
and knees. She draws her hand with a dagger up
and then toward Fremea. But Fremea rolls away as
the blade hits the wooden floor. Fremea smiles.
She knees the female in the chest and
at the same time does an arm grab for the
dagger. Any first level martial artist learns
this lesson. Shift hands and wrist up then
down. Pull arm and wrist away from each
other. The female in pain drops the dagger.
Fremea grabs the dagger and with
great force kicks the female away from her. On
her back, Fremea can see she is 3 to 1. The
other two are both pulling daggers out. This
room is about 20 by 20 so a tight spot with maybe
15 x 15 in free space. A chest – probably
clothing is to Fremea's right. The pile of wood
and stone is to her left and was something once.
Fremea knows that it is more
difficult to fight 3 to one and she only has this
one dagger, and no magic right now. She could use
her special item, but then it might affect other
things in the forest and she is not wanting to
upset anything down here that she does not need
to. It seems best to make sure these women don't keep an advantage on her.
She remembers her lessons well, even
if she did not want to have them, and she has a
little help that these women don't know about.
She quickly taps twice on her Armor Pin,
activating the spell held inside, sweeping her
legs around (and using her wings to boost the
move) she pops up onto her feet and charges the
women. The first she will use a technique to
unbalance and throw to the side, the second she
will use her momentum from the throw to sling
herself into and use the acquired dagger to take out as quickly as she can.
Fremea activates her pin then uses
her wings on her back to propel herself up then
her legs and feet to jump – a acrobatic martial
act that can damage most normal human backs
unless trained – to her feet. She charges the
two females unsure which is the spell
caster. But based on height the one on right
must be it. If height determines status in such cultures.
She reaches for the taller ones left
hand which is dagger free and feigns a stab at
her chest. But at same time she sweeps the
females left leg not to trip but to cause her to
lose balance. The female stumbles slightly off
with her center of gravity off but is starting to
recover. But Fremea turns right, knowing the
other female will stab at her back so plans for
this by ducking – it helps to be smaller. As she
does she flings the taller female to the right
and pushes with her hands to give her
momentum. The female goes flying toward the area Fremea fell from.
The female next to Fremea stabs at
Fremea's right upper chest but her newly reinforced armor blocks any damage.
As the tall female goes flying away
the kicked one that Fremea wrestled with recovers
and charges. But at the last instant both her
and Tall One collide. The Tall one grunts and
roars in anger and grabs the bumbling female and
tosses her behind her and toward the area Fremea
fell from. The Tall one recovers standing and growls at Fremea.
As the Tall one (F2) flings the other
away (F3) the female hits the wall. A subtle
click is heard. The female (F3) must've heard
and it looks down to the shaft/tube entrance?
Suddenly a blue sphere hits the female. She collapses on the ground.
Since she is ducked down Fremea stabs
the female next to her (F1) doing 11 points to
her lower right just above her hip.
The stabbed female (F1) thrusts at Fremea but misses.
The other female (F2) stands but does not charge Fremea.
Fremea grins her little wicked smile at the tall one.
Then the Tall Female (F2) speaks some
words and points at Fremea. A dark corona forms
around Fremea and Dark Lightning encircles
her. She is immediately scorched by the heat of the dark lightning.
Fremea realizes she only has 15-20
sec maybe to live. She has to kill the witch
NOW. She changes her plans and charges the
witch. As she does she buffets her wings to
create a parachute like effect to slow her down
but also to give her guidance to uplift her
body. As she does She leaps up and stabs at the
tall one's head – a difficult attempt by the most skilled.
Female F1 who was stabbed moves and
swipes at Fremea but misses. The Witch (F2) also thrusts at Fremea but misses.
Fremea gets behind the Tall One and
leaps onto her back. She grabs the neck of the
Witch and reaches around shoving the dagger
toward her eye but the last second the female
tilts her face up and the dagger pierces into her
lower jaw/neck. The damage is 17 points. But
the blade pierces the carotid artery and and she
should die quickly hopefully. Both Fremea and witch fall to the ground.
The first female stabbed (F1) swipes
and hits Fremea's left leg but with her armor and
armor spell she takes no damage.
Fremea is pissed off, and instead of
hoping that the witch dies, she will jerk the
dagger hard in the witch she is still with,
ignoring the other one attacking, making sure she is dead.
She will then turn her attention to
the other one, waiting for the attack to come and
then using her training again, to grab at the
dagger coming at her and using the momentum to
drag the woman in, using her dagger and the one
Fremea is using to stab her, hopefully finishing her off.
Once the standing one is dead, she
will cuff the unconscious one (knowing that
someone will want to question) and making sure
her mouth is gagged, just in case. And then tied
up extra if need be, then see if she can find her
stuff and get outside to find the party.
Fremea uses both hands to push the
dagger up and into the sinus cavity and then the
brain. She twists the dagger to ensure bone and
tissue mingle in a blood bath. The dark lightning ends around her.
The other female swings on Fremea
hitting her in right middle ribs but her armor and armor spell protect her.
The other female on the ground wakes
up. Fremea jerks a eyebrow these gals must be trained to wake up faster.
Fremea charges (F1) the one standing
and grabs her hand. She tries to pull the dagger
to the female's body but the woman deflects and she misses her strike.
Female (F1) pulls the dagger back
toward Fremea and impales Fremea in middle ribs
again but again she takes no damage from her armor.
The other female (F3) stands and
grabs her dagger. She charges Fremea and hits her
from behind on her right shoulder but her armor protects her.
From to the right in a dark hallway
Fremea can hear shuffling feet, then some kind of
struggle then a wet sloppy something that sounds
like a blade hitting a body. She hopes its not more females to help these 2.
Fremea charges the female charging
(F3) but at the last second the female reaches up
and deflects Fremea pushing her off and away.
[Time: 2:30:24 pm]
[Phase 9]
Unali enters the room where Fremea is
and sees her struggling with a female and another
moving to attack her. A third one seems to be
gutted by a dagger in her head jaw up. She
rushes to help Fremea and stabs her (F1) doing 11
points to her right lower back just above her
hip. But the other dagger fails to hit.
As Arawn's arrow plunged into the
leader he saw Unali close in and execute a deadly
blow. A moment later he saw the pair disappear
behind a bush. He knew that Unali was a very,
very capable woman but he didn't want to leave her to face danger alone.
"Check on Unali!," he called out in
the direction of Opus, Kimis, Tsia, and Barbosa.
He knew they wouldn't be able to see him even if
could point but hoped they'd figure to investigate the last spot she rushed to.
Arawn puts his bow away and draws his
sword/buckler. He looks around for a target and
finds one only feet away #11 (b) fighting
Pyan. He lowers him a bit so his boot is level
to the witch and draws back and kicks the witches head.
Arawn hits the females right side of
the skull and Pyan who is staring at her hears a
crunch and snap. She takes a massive 11 points
to the head from the martial artist kick. Her jaw
and temple crack. Her skull jerks left then back
and she drops her dagger. She falls to the
ground dead before she hits the ground. Arawn
looks jaw-slack in shock. That was a bit intense
and brutal. But realize it was a lucky hit.
Z'leyra sees #11 fall to her left and
guess Pyan got a good hit. She thrusts at #13 (#c) but misses.
Tsia hears Arawn's voice. Unali she
was that way? Tsia doesn't see her but heads that
way and wonders where the nude female is?
Kiet smiles at Dorhak wrestling a
female. He shakes his head always fooling
around. He comes alongside the right side of
them and whistles. The female looks up and
snarls. Kiet uses his shield to bat the female
off of Dorhak then pieces right in her right
middle back where her heart is, doing the final
points to kill her. Kiet smirks at Dorhak and
almost offers a hand. But Dorhak might get upset
and pull him off his feet then losing contact with ground.
Pyan is shocked to see the female
just collapse and sees her skull cave in do these
witches have some suicide technique? He steps
over her body and charges #13 (d) he hits hard in
her left leg doing 15 points. Amazingly she stands still.
Kimis grunts at Opus to follow then
turns east and moves to help the others.
Raddok will continue to focus on
killing #19, protecting the king & assisting the
Bes guard. Once witch is dead. He will look about
to see where he's needed most – anyone needing
help, down or missing [Unali is out of sight down
stairs, but not sure Raddok can see stairs from
where he is]. He will now be able to see where
everyone is & that some of the party is missing
(he briefly notes with puzzlement & a chill up
his back, a strange powdery pile), & that Dorhak
is fighting with a witch, although assistance
seems to be coming toward him. Raddok will call
“Healer here,” & dig for his first-aid pack, and
stay near the king & the wounded Bes, unless
Dorhak or someone calls to him to go/help elsewhere.
Raddok swings on #19 with mace but misses.
The King hits #19 in left middle ribs
doing 6 points with his spear.
Opus runs after Kimis toward the east to help the others.
The Bes guard hits #19 In center
chest doing the final damage to kill her.
The last female topside hits Z'leyra
in the center chest but her armor protects her.
Dorhak stands and grabs his gear then
moves toward #13. He hits her on her left
shoulder doing the final damage ot kill her.
Down below Female 1 (F1) turns to
Unali and swipes her dagger she slices right
across her chest but Unail's armor protects her.
Female (F3) charges Fremea and misses her attack.
Fremea tries a leg sweep but fails to
make contact with the witch (F3). But at same
time she grabs for the dagger since she has yet
to get a dagger of her own. Her strength is not
great but as she tries to pry the dagger free she
is able to deflect the dagger to do a slight stab
into her right center chest doing 3 points of damage.
[Time: 2:30:27 pm]
[Phase 10]
Fremea leaps to the air using her
wings to tackle the female (F3) and does this
skilfully knocking her fully back into the
wall. The female drops her dagger and Fremea
grabs it and stabs high but it goes low hitting
the female in her left upper leg doing 11
points. Finally she has a dagger fully in control.
Unali tries to subdue Female nearby
(F1) hitting her in the right shoulder doing 9
points – sadly the magical dagger's damage boost
is enough to do the final damage to kill
her. Even a light subdual attack is just too big
with a magical dagger. Unali didn't realize how
badly she was already hurt by Fremea.
The female last alive slumps down the
wall (F3) and starts to stand but a click is
heard. She begins to reach the wall when a blue
Psychic Hammer ball hits the female. She is knocked out.
Fremea smiles and glances at
Unali. Then seeing her bag and her own personal
gear she rushes to redons her gear.
Tsia rushes into the room and looks around confused.
From outside Arawn looks down and is
saddened to see a dead Bes Guard, Pyan hurt and
what remains of Mournath. Signs of a
Disintegrate spell is obvious. Ash has blown away
but there is still faint traces of ash. His boots
are still intact but coated in ash. Torn threads
of what used to be clothing is on the ground blowing about.
Near where the nude female stood a
form lands. The Vily holds her bow in
hand. Anger spills from her face and don't need
to be a empath to see that. She glances at the
battlefield. Then below as Unali nears the shaft
it reappears. She stares at this tall structure
and if looks could kill all would be dead.
“What have you bought to my forest?!” The Vily says.
She glances around for Arawn but
doesn't see him. She stares at Kiet. “Was this
your doing?” She storms closer toward Kiet
reaching only a few feet from him. “This blight
will be destroyed. I will order the forest to
take this place...back to the forest. If
you don't want to be a part of this you have ten minutes to move out!”
