     Admin notes:  Ya know I just realized Alex's email address was
     not in the above roster.  It is now :)  This update should
     be the official first for the mailing list.  If you have public
     actions post them to the list.  I'll get them and everyone
     else at the same time.  This allows one to react to other plans
     rather than waiting to see them in the update.  If you have
     private actions you can email them privately to pnpgm at softhome.net
     and I'll handle them there.  
     ----------------------------update-------------------------------
     [Recap]     - None
     [New Stuff  - Current Situation]
                                                                        
      From Jordi: [Re: Actions]
         Well, Jordi actions are reduced to this one: place himself
         in a good position, to attack the back of the clyman guards -
         if needed- and as near the door to the gargolyes as posible,
         just in case the bluff is discovered.
         I can't tell you what priorities will have Jordi -blockading
         the door to the gargolyes den, or attacking the guards-,
         until the bluff fails. however, in general, I prefer to
         block the door to the gargolyes den.
      GM: Ack.

      From Z'leyra: [Re: Actions]
         Z'leyra holds up her hand and says <in Climan> "I was afraid
         of that. That is the faerry she needs to question. We need
         it alive. She will be upset if she cannot question it." She
         tells the pikeman "Tell it to bring the faerry here or go
         fetch it yourself."    If the pikeman doesn't (or is slow
         to) comply she will say "Despite my relationship to the
         Immortal Ghova, when a senior priestess says for me to do
         something I don't just stand around trying to think of
         questions! If you feel we need the mercenaries she sent
         along, fine, open the door and bring them in. But get that
         faerry so it can be put to the question. MOVE!"

         Note that if combat starts she will fight defensively if
         attacked (offensively otherwise) and try to fight in the
         second rank using the reach of her staff.
      GM: Ack.

      From Chion: [Re: Actions]
         Haven't been responding much because its pretty much been
         moving along and all. What Staff did Chion get?

         The Chaos one or the other one? And can he still use the
         Chaos power or does he have to be aligned to Chaos (ie. is
         it named or just with a spell in it). Also, any clue as to
         what the spell/power might be? He probably would have been
         trying to figure it out while travelling.

         Also, did he ever get healed any? If not, he will heal himself
         (no fail due to MDV I believe). But hopefully this woulda been
         before they left the sea cave.

         And can I get a mana count please?
      GM: The loot report is on the website nad shows what was given
        to who.  Its on the very bottom of the game page.  Can't
        figure it out since technically you don't know the treasure
        exists.  It'll be handled on the trip home assume you live :)
        You did heal and healed 6 points via your healing magic. You
        go from 79% down to 61% but still an improvement.  The mana
        report was given in email.

      From Unali: [Re: Actions]
        Unali will proceed to level 4. If there is any sign of trouble,
        she will motion to Martha to keep back "Quiet." and proceed
        with caution.
        Glad the list server is ok.
      GM: Ack.

     ---------------------------Actions---------------------------

      Time: Estimated  6:16am-6:29am  - Morning Day 22

                ---------- Level 3----------------

      [Level 3 - Near stairs to level 4

         [Unali and Marta quickly head up to the next level...]

      [Level 4 - ]

       [Outside heavy door - ]

         Thig: "I can walk through the door or teleport with maybe
           three of you if you hold on tight."
         Trembyl: "Matter of fact so can I on both accounts."
         Aren: "Well we need to move fast we don't know what is
           going on beyond the door."
         Caladan: "Its too thick to burn down it'd take too long."
         Kasha: "Balrog?"
         Balrog: "I'm hurrying!" [he continues to fiddle with the lock]
           "It seems to be double locked now some way..."

       [Inside door -]

         [Z'leyra demands the faerry to the guard.  The Pikeman looks
          at her then back at the large gargoyle standing in the
          doorframe.  The other guard glances at him as if waiting
          for something to be done.  Then the pikeman turns to the
          gargoyle and speaks a few words apparently in their
          language.  The gargoyle replies.  Then the guard.  The
          gargoyle turns and barks something in the room.  Then
          the gargoyle shifts and a new even larger and nastier
          looking one enters the doorframe.  This one is also
          wearing leather armor (more thick skins than formed
          leather) and wearing a leather helmet.  He also has
          a sword in his hand and barks at the guard.  As soon
          as the gargoyle approaches Jordi gets a tingle in his
          head that indicates presence of magic.  Jordi knows
          that the creatures are not known as spell casters so
          it must be his equipment?  The guard seems to argue
          with the gargoyle then turns to Z'leyra]
         Pikeman: "hmm..The Overlord says it is to be for a
           feast or something.  He intends not to give it over.
           Something about the Agreement allows for free capture
           by them for any non-humans with free will or something
           like that.  Sor..sorry ma'am."
         [Z'leyra looks displeased and Farseeker shifts from foot
          to foot in annoyance..]
         [Pikeman then turns to Gargoyle and barks a few words
          then turns to Z'leyra]
         Pikeman: "I've suggested they can eat it or whatever
           after you question it."
         [the Overlord barks a reply and the guard translates]
         Pikeman: "It..err..I mean he agrees."
         [The overlord turns and barks a few words.  This clears
          the door and a wider view of the room is seen.]

        [Stairs -]

          [Unali and Marta get to level 4 and meet the group there.]
          Aren: "Marta? What are you doing here?"
          Marta: "I'll explain later.  What's going on here?"
          Aren: "Z'leyra, Farseeker, and Jordi entered this room
            acting as priestess when the door slammed shut and
            Balrog is trying to open it."

          [Suddenly Thig concentrates and without waiting for
           takers he walks toward Balrog and right through him
           and the door...he appears on the other side and
           sees Z'leyra..]

          [Balrog looks up and shivers..]
          Balrog: "What was that?.." [then backs to work..]

          Trembyl: "Well I can still teleport maybe three people
            with me to the other side of the door.  Keep in mind
            though if anyone moved to that spot it could be
            pretty ugly since I can't see it directly."

        [Inside hallway -]

          [Farseeker notices something white in the distance and
           suddenly his eyes widen and leans to Z'leyra and
           points.  Z'leyra tries to see but doesn't make it out.
           Farseeker whispers to her..]
          Farseeker: "That white spot..its your eagle!"
          [Z'leyra squints and walks forward a couple feet to
           get a better view.  Sure enough it seems to be
           the form of a eagle on the floor in the distance near
           Kaylle...is it dead?...alive?  Too far to tell.]

          [Suddenly Jordi's invisibility spell duration ends and
           he becomes visible.  He quickly scrables to the side
           of the wall behind the guard.  The Pikeman could see
           him if he looked but he is too busy with other things.
           Jordi is directly behind the other guard who isn't
           looking behind him.[

          Farseeker: "Do not harm the faerry!"

          [Suddenly a new gargoyle comes forward in the doorframe.
           This time though its a smaller one.  It looks like
           a female from the size.  She is holding a small spear
           in her hand.  Jordi and Z'leyra notices the Gargoyle's
           nose wrinkle..then the gargoyle snarls and barks a
           word "Haz'alt!".]
          Farseeker: "What?"
          Pikeman: "It says it smells a Elf...."

          [Suddenly snarls and growls can be heard inside the
           room.  More gargoyles seem to be approaching the door
           and growling...]

          [The other guard pushes the gargoyle back..]
          Guard: "Shut the door!"
          Pikeman: "Hmm.." [He turns to Z'leyra..]

      Time: Estimated  6:22am-6:35am  - Morning Day 22

      [About 45 seconds pass for this entire update]

    Actions? Comments?
    Next update Friday...

    Hope this is a good enough time for you to reply if not let
    me know and I can delay it till monday since I did this one
    a bit late.

    Jordi realizes too late that he must've been detected while
    invisible and somehow his scent reached a few inside the
    Gargoyle den.  Gargoyles are not too friendly to Faerry
    or Elf kind.

    Trembyl can attempt a teleport IF you want to make the
    chance let me know if you do and he'll take you to the
    other side or you can wait for Balrog to try the door.

This is #1 for the new PNPGM mailing list...hope it works!


BTW - the doors to the den are not shut..they are trying to do it..
