         [Recap]

            From Pyan: [Re: Status]
                 For the past 2-3 months I've 
been dead tired after being awake for 5 hours. so 
I haven't gotten much done.  I have a asleep 
stufy schedulded the 28th so hopefully they'll 
figure it out.I though I had voted... oh well.I 
though I received an email about my CP but I 
can't find it in any of my folders, I checked the 
trash and spam as sometimes it likes to move them there.
            GM: Ack. I probably replied to this 
in email.        I know how lack of time has been 
lately.  How did the sleep test go?

            From Arawn: [Re: Actions]
                 As each death in the family 
mounted, Arawn could feel deep emotion welling 
up, building into something beyond his 
awareness... [PM'd Scott, so just depends on the response]

                 When the group settled down enough to consider their 


                 “You've a ship and crew still 
awaiting your return in Ma'dor, not 

            GM: Ack. To Clarify the ship may he 
in Sivas but are you offering teleporting the 
party back to sivas? From Western Marentia to Sivas?

            From Opus: [Re: Actions]
                 Upus says to the group. To sum up my time 


                 Ooc I enjoyed this I hope to be 
allowed to continue playing it been a blessing 
thank yo all for taking the time to make believe.
Be well,
            GM: Ack.  Odd indeed.  Wasn't 
expecting a hostage to be ignored.  :) I mainly 
wanted to do a few goals.  See the Eastern Lands 
and LW which I've not done both in the 
decades.  Also to prepare for a possible next 
adventure.  All done! Of course you'll be in next adventure!

            From Raddok: [Re: Actions]
                 Raddok reflects on what he will 
do next, as the party is clearly 



                 If there is help offered by 
group members for the journey(s) ahead, he will 
accept them gracefully, for he knows he will 
eventually be able to pay it back (or forward) in 
the future. He would not have missed any of it, 
the great people he has met & worked with, 
although some times were, indeed, hard.
            GM: Ack. The logistics not worried on 
yet.  On trip back to Sivas.  Since in same 
province probably will take a week? By horse.  I will look at map later.

         [New Stuff]

         [Augado 13, 1636?TH]

            The party feels the stress of 94 days 
– course some of that was sailing time – pass by 
In a blur.  What was spring is now late summer.

            Raddok is confused upon first 
regaining consciousness,but only briefly. He 
quickly looks around seeing the cubes disappear & 
joins the others following the bereaved girl back 
to her village and family. He is horrified by 
what they find left after their attackers left 
the area. He is furious, but feels helpless, 
since no one in the party had any ideas of who 
the enemy were or where they went.

         [Town – at family murder scene]

            As each death in the family mounted, 
Arawn could feel deep emotion welling up, 
building into something beyond his awareness...

            Arawn's fist clench and they turn 
white.  How could some in the party just care 
less about the hostage?  Arawn glances at the 
girl rescued by Fremea.  Then back to the party 
and stares at Dorhak and Kiet for a few long moments.

            Then blood returns to his fists and 
he turns away as the party moves to go eat as if 
not caring about the scene in front of them.  He 
asks the elder townsman to take the girl away. 
She pleads no she needs to be with her brother 
and sister.  Arawn kneels to her eye level and 
explains that all may not be as it seems.  Give 
hope a prayer.  He wipes a tear from her cheek 
and stands.  HE tells the elder to not allow anyone in for hours.

            “Why? We need to bury them.”  He speaks up confused.

            Arawn enters the the small home and 
turns to face the street and closes the 
door.  The party shakes their heads in wonder as well as confusion.

         [Several hours later...]

            The party knows they will stay the 
night before moving out by land or teleport back 
home.  So they try to form a plan.

            From out of the shadow into the town 
center fire pit light Arawn enters smiling.  He 
lowers his hands and 2 kids walk up and grab a hand.

            The older girl screams in delight as 
she sees her sister and brother much younger than 
her.  She glances up at Arawn, “but how?”

            Arawn explains it is not 
important.  That prayers are heard.  He explains 
the kids are weak and will recover in a 
week.  But they will not be as strong body wise as long as they live.

            Fremea smiles and notices the kids 
are wearing new clothes and looks like blood has 
been washed off.  Being 4 and 8 the kids seem 
dazed and confused The 8 year old boy doesn’t 
seem to recall what happened.  Arawn just says 
they were asleep briefly.  Arawn wonders if he 
should tell about their murdered mother but the Elder seems to read his face.

            “I'll go explain that.”  He takes the kids away into the shadows.

            Arawn notices a older teen boy back 
away into the shadows as he spoke to the elder 
but when he glances back the boy is gone.  He 
could sense a great anger in him.  But the older teen is now missing.

            When the group settled down enough to 
consider their situation Arawn looked over to Dorhak.

            "You've a ship and crew still 
awaiting your return in Ma'dor, not to mention 
any treasure, horses and gear that might have 
been left aboard. Hopefully they've enough coin 
to maintain dockage these last several weeks," he 
reminded the dwarf. "I can see about tracking the 
ship and translocating any interested there. Just let me know."

            Opus says to the group. “To sum up my time
Here  I must quote my aunt she was a honorable 
shaman of me tribe.  'The greatest of beings,the 
ones who achieve success sacrifice something. A 
piece of your soul must be traded for that 
success. At the very least nothing is lost, at 
the very most life itself.  Perhaps to truly 
measure success one must look at what sacrifices 
were made. In so doing so one can maybe see this measure of success.'”

            “I hope to start my journey to become 
like her. She was the one who truly meant to me what it was to have success.”

            “This adventure ended oddly. Let see what the next one brings.”

            Upus looks to Kimis and says, “Have we been successful?”.

            She glances around then speaks low in 
her native language which can't be 
translated.  “I don't know.  We did by escaping 
the tribe.  But this group....is odd.  They would 
let a woman die like that? What if I was the hostage?”

            In his mind Upus knows the answer to 
his question and so do the members of the crew.

            Raddok reflects on what he will do 
next, as the party is clearly going to be 
gathering their belongings left behind & checking 
into their ‘regular’ lives for a while. “I have a 
horse and gear, and armor, to retrieve from 
various places, and probably bills to settle,” he 
tells the others. "I am so glad I came along. Thank you, all!"

            He will join those heading back for 
the ship, unless some are heading to where his 
horse is stabled first. In any case, he wants to 
gather all his belongings, then travel to 
Ma’Helas to see (& most likely marry) his girl – 
he’s more than ready. He knows that if he then 
returns to see these new companions that he has 
learned to care about very much, that she will 
demand to travel with him, for she also has the adventurous blood within her.

            Since the last he heard, his father 
was still alive & well, here was no rush to 
return to his home, although he will take 
advantage of an opportunity to travel there if 
such arises. He now feels an additional loyalty 
not only to the Blue Family in Ma’Helas, but to 
his new-found friends in Marentia, and would help 
either in the future, if it is within his capabilities.
