Admin Notes: Mournath removed off Roster. :<

[Recap]
From Z'leyra: [Re: Actions]
Z'leyra upon learning of the
death of Mournath says a short prayer
GM: Ack.
From Raddok: [Re: Actions]
Seeing the vily leave, Raddok calls to Z'leyra “We
GM: Ack.
From Unali: [Re: Actions]
Unali will bring the journal and
the scrap of paper/map topside.
Is she unconscious from a hard
hit to the head or so close to dead that she is not moving any more.
GM: Ack.
From Arawn: [Re: actions]
OOC:
Regarding Mana Powers - Mana
Sending (Charging) option, if Arawn can
successfully cast this on one of the PC
spellcasters, they can convert the energy into
Mana. This should then allow them to access mana
from the Mana Batteries/Mana Storage devices, correct?
Also, Arawn will attempt to
reclaim the arrow he shot at the witch if it's
still useable. BTW, could you put the MEP/CEP
Arawn got for shooting the witch with the Elf-Shot arrow?
IC:
When Asaria arrived Arawn had kept silent, listening to the
OOC: Arawn will search the
bunker and items with Mana Sense in addition to
using his Smuggler skill and Topaz.
GM: Ack. Good idea on spell but the
Affinity parts. I may stretch it for Fremea
since sidh and some slight affinity. But beside
companions its hard to grasp Affinity for the
party? Unless a argument can be given? As to XEP
for the arrows it was part of the core cep. You
would not earn mep for a magical arrow. Once
sent out the elf shots are lost spell used so now just normal arrows.
From Raddok: [Re: Actions]
As he grieves over Mournath,
Raddok drops to his knees briefly
GM: Ack.
From Opus: [Re: Actions[
Opus looks around to see if he
can help any one but before he does that he
If he does have wounds he try to
patch it up himself or ask the group for help.
If no one needs help or need it
himself he goes looking for Kimis to see what she
 is doing. He tightens up his gear looks around
for any thing he. might have dropped from his
personal gear and goes off after her.
Ooc: Not sure how exp and gear
are handled to the way things are done divide up?
Would there be anything I should ask for ? My
character would want not want to speak up and would let kimis push for spoils.
GM: Ack. True sorry I forgot to
explain that. On my game site at bottom is the
Mana report says mana, health, experience. There
it shows Mana, Health, Energy, Experience, Skill
increases and gear losses. Consult that to see
what experience you got. If can't find it let me
know. Loot is typically pooled and dived
up. But one is free to request any
items. Typically gold is divided up and gear not
selected is sold and divided up profits. Does
this answer you? At very bottom shows how much damage you took.
From Kiet: [Re: Actions[
When Kiet gets a moment, he
stops. He breathes deeply, then exhales, and
GM: Ack.

[New Stuff]
[Ma 9th, 1636TH]
[Time: 2:27 pm]
When Asaria arrived Arawn had kept
silent, listening to the conversation as he
gathered up Mournath's remaining belongings, both
magical and mundane, with a saddened heart. As
the wind began the process of dispersing his
ashes the druid gathered a bit up so that a
portion of Mournath could be returned to home or
to the sea he loved. He very quietly prayed over
the man along with the dead bes, urging their souls to move on in peace.
Before Asaria left he spoke up, his
voice manifesting from the air in an odd way
before the alfar suddenly came into view.
"Do not be hard on yourself, Lady
Asaria. You truly are a worthy guardian of this
forest, a noble spirit to aid us, and swift to
arrive when this threat was exposed," the
alfar-druid said in a soothing voice, hoping to
comfort the vily. "These witches, for that is
what they are, managed to gain a foothold here
through magic and covered their hideout with an
illusion. But how they got here and their purpose
remains a mystery, though we hope to discover
this and will pass on what we can. And if a
blight truly exists here, let us know so that we
can deal with it if we can in the time we have.
Or else I might return to aid you in future.
Now, you mentioned you sensed a portal, might I ask where?"
The Vily looks around to the hidden
voice, “to have build this place under my watch
is a tragic attack on my record, Only great
magic could have done this. As to the portal it
was north west a mile or so away. Exact location
is only an estimate as the forest gave a vague sense of it. It is gone now.”
[Time: 2:30:27 pm]
Z'leyra upon learning of the death of
Mournath says a short prayer to the spirits. She
ponders to herself if she hadn't failed the spell
that stripped her of her magic that maybe she could have kept him alive.
But now, we have to move swiftly. She
will see to any wound patching needed, help
examine what is recovered and be ready to go.
_
To the right is a chest. To the left
is a make shift primitive night stand that is
simply a square wooden slab poorly and hastily
made. On it is the candle stand with a dimly lit candle.
Seeing the vily leave, Raddok
calls to Z'leyra “We need healing here!
The King is badly wounded & his guard is
also hurt. I only know basic first aid.”
After Z'leyra, or someone comes to help,
Raddok will go examine the ash piles,
especially when Z'leyra tells him of
Mournath's loss. Raddok stands over the
ash, slowly being scattered by the breeze,
seeing only the navigator's armor & gear
remaining to identify a friend who helped
teach him the new skill of sailing. He
sadly remembers the hours they worked and
shared tales together, and the occasional
joke. He quickly brushes a tear or two
from his face, and turns to see what he
can do to help the party get ready to
leave, if that is what they are doing. He
will ask Dorhak their plans, if the
dwarf does not tell everybody first.
He also asks, somewhat shyly, if
he can have something of Mournath's to
remember him by – it doesn't matter what.
Raddok is about Mournath's height, but
broader in build, so it seems unlikely the
armor would fit, although the boots
might. But he feels that, as he has
received a couple of magical gifts already
on this journey, he will not ask for
more, and will accept any item the group,
or Dorhak, decides he may have. He will
not accept the spear, since he lacks that
skill, unless no one else wants it. But
such an item has value & it might provide
funds for the group, if needed. He
shakes off his maundering, and returns to
whatever duties he's assigned, but does ask
about burial for Mournath.
He finds himself pleased to see that
their new, strange-looking companions seem to be
fine. They must have fought well. He had been
unable to really see anything with that smoky
cloud in the way most of the time. He sends them
a casual salute, although he cannot as yet smile,
as he returns to his duties after leaving Mournath's body, such as it is.
Part of his getting ready to
leave will include cleaning of his weapons
& armor, as much as he's allowed the
time. He feels a hole at his side, leaving Mournath behind.
Unali will bring the journal and the
scrap of paper/map topside. She makes one more
round ensuring herself that there are no hidden
spaces she has missed and then checks on the one witch that was not dead yet.
If she can be moved, she will pull
her with her and bring her topside.
"This one is still breathing. She may be able to
tell what they were doing here. If only someone spoke their gibberish."
"This journal they kept down there. Anyone who can decipher this? "
As for Mournath, Unali supports his
ashes being taken for burial, and his possessions
distributed over the group members. Unali has no
need for items, but she feels they can benefit
the group and should not be discarded.
When the vily moved on to gather her
allies the alfar turned to the task at hand,
knowing that time was short. He watched as
Z'leyra moved into action, her skill as a healer desperately needed now.
"After we've thoroughly investigated,
I'll see what I can do to add to Z'leyra's
efforts with my magic," Arawn informed the wounded.
Though not as skilled a smuggler as
Raban was, Arawn had the training and relied upon
it to help him search the hidden base for any
secret rooms or concealed items. If anything was
valuable, whether in the form of information or
treasure, he hoped that his training along with
his magical topaz would be sufficient.
He lingered over the destroyed
section of the bunker, his eyes going over the
area and items blasted by the Destruction spell.
When Unali delivered news of the map and journal
he took a quick trip back up, assisting her with the last witch as needed.
Arawn looked over the bit of map,
wondering if he could restore it while reflecting
on all the other lost writing the party had
encountered in their adventures, and then looked
over the journal in hopes of understanding it.
"It's risky but we could attempt to
connect with the Akashic Record, looking back in
time to the time before the desk and other items
were destroyed," he suggested to the party.
As Raddok grieves over Mournath,
Raddok drops to his knees briefly in respect with
the druid's prayers, although he doesn't
understand anything Arawn might say. As he
kneels, he feels his amulet, which he'd forgotten
about, bounce against his tunic & skin, where it
was hidden under his clothes. He asks Arawn,
“This amulet is able to detect brass for a short
distance, although it doesn't always work. Would
you like me to try it?” If Arawn agrees, Raddok
will stand wherever the druid recommends (near
the '˜silo', the hole, underground – wherever) &
say the triggering word for the amulet's spell.
Opus looks around to see if he can
help any one but before he does that he makes
sure he not been hurt or has any damage on
himself. It is all a blur this combat with
evil. He mutters to himself , “The one thing I
hate about the underworld is witches!”
If he can get to Kimis he says to kimis,
“I just checked to make sure I didn't drop anything.” Then he laughs.
Opus is ready to move on and
continuing with this journey. He awaits his next
order by the group. Hopefully he can help the
group first mend and prep to keep going. Whiles being able
Opus finds Kimis over the other
mysterious pile of ashes that everyone seems to
be ignoring. “This was a person. Must've been
a bad death. Maybe this is his or her place?
Looks male based on the clothing. Look at those
boots though. Look at all the other boots.” She
looks up at the party. Opus compares and squints
in thought. “These boots are very worn out and
show serious damage. Either he walked miles or
climbed mountains or other things. They aren't as pretty as the others have.”
When Kiet gets a moment, he
stops. He breathes deeply, then exhales, and
closes his eyes. He says In The Elder "Windwall!
I thank thee for your help in that fight. Is
there anything I can do for you to express my gratitude?"
Several long moments pass then Kiet's
armor speaks in his mind. “Sweat less. But
nothing more. “ Though Kiet hears noting the
Acrobat can sense there is more. He is slowly
learning the armor's personality. But it may be
thinking or sensing? But not disclosing anything more.
Arawn finishes scooping up as much
possible since wind has blown most away. At
least something of Mournath can be buried.
Unali does a final walk through and
rechecks things. When she moves the sandals she
does notice the bottom seems specially built with
slight cleets for walking or climbing. She goes
to fetch the one witch and take her topside. She
is bleeding still so seems to be alive.
Unali shows Arawn the journal
book. He skims it and its actually small for a
book for maybe 100 pages but there are only a 3rd
filled in. Initially it looked coded but in fact
its not or seems to have decoded itself. But
Arawn senses no magic from it. Arawn looks at
the first entry dated Febris 8th 1631 TH. Arawn
does quick calculation 5 years ago? He flips to
the final entry Apris 1st 1631? Does that mean
whoever was here was here only 3 or so weeks? Of
course 4 days here is about a year so that's
possible. They figured to be here briefly or was
he/she aware of the time difference?
Arawn scans the first page it seems
to be just a daily journal of being
here. Several of the pages there are sketches of
birds and trees. Seems the person liked those things.
Arawn goes down to look around just
as Fremea exits and warns him about the silo
ward. Dorhak sees Fremea and frowns.
Dorhak calls to Fremea before she
takes off again and pulls her aside. In a
lowered voice, he tells her "Don't think that I
have missed that you disobeyed a direct order,
about not engaging an enemy." His voice doesn't
change as he continues. "You specifically chose
to enter the structure and risking being killed
before anybody knew there was an enemy here. You
risked the lives of everyone here, as well as one
that is no longer here. You rolled the dice and he paid the price."
He sighs and continues "Fremea, you
endanger everyone here. You have known them
longer than have I, yet you treat them as
expendable. Worse, you treat yourself as
expendable. This makes you almost more of a
danger than Kotothi, because we count on you. If
you were to be killed while you are freewheeling
it, there would be no way for us to know. There
would be no one to mourn you either."
"Think about that the next time you
decide you know best. Oh, and think about
Mournath too. His fate is partially the result of that decision."
"Now, get back to work scouting and get out of my sight."
Z'leyra tries to patch up folks with
first aid but without magic there is not much help at this point.
Inside Arawn checks around in the
small bedroom there is no sign of magic. In the
main area the only magical sense is from the silo
as Fremea warned. Arawn has no idea what the
magic is yet since Fremea hasn't explained it
yet. But he can sense some defense magic.
Barbosa looks at Kimis and stash of
clothing near her. “Who was that?” He asks in Dwarf.
She replies in kind, “don't know.”
She turns to Opus and wonders if he could use the
boots. She picks one up and shrugs. “Too small
for you.” She tosses the boot to the ground and
a dink is heard. She raises a eyebrow and dump
the boot upside down. A small silver key on a
very small thing string falls out. She picks up
the key and figures its a door or box lock. She
figures it was on the person's ankle.
All eyes are put on the key. But
Kimis just seems unfazed. When eyes return to
their tasks the Bes guard moves away from the
body of witches and moves to support his king.
Dorhak orders new groups. This time
not spread out in a line but in a clump. To
protect the king Arawn, Unali, Tsia and Z'leyra
will surround him. Course the guard will be
besides the King. Opus, Pyan, Kimis and Kiet
forms a second triad group. Dorhak, Barbosa and
Raddok a 3rd group. Dorhak tells Fremea will
continue to scout but has been warned.
[Time: 2:35 pm]
GM: Actions? Comments?
GM: This was a rough update. Took a
couple weeks. So I hope I covered all tasks
needed doing? There are open tasks. Clues. I
still need to know how long each tasks
takes. Searching, book reading, patching among
the many other tasks. Let me know so I can
figure out time frames. Once I know I'll do any
final actions. Then move on if it is
possible. Since this is Tuesday Thursday is
pushing it so will try Saturday. But I have a
long work day that day extra 2 hours. So may be
delayed till next week/Monday. Let me know if
anything I forgot to do. Folks have a lot of
separate clues but you gotta share (role play) for others to know.
GM: Groups- [here to remind me of walking groups]
1st Triad – Dorhak, Barbosa, Raddok
2nd Triad – Z'leyra, Tsia, Unali, King, Arawn.
3rd Triad – Pyan, Opus, Kimis, Kiet.
GM: Player Damage:
