     [New Stuff  - Current Situation]

       From Sergi: [Re: Question]
         OOC: You said that we can post, send information, etc...
           in the game web.  (Unless I understood it wrongly).
           Where can I find it?.  Thank you.
       GM: I'll explain this at the very bottom of the post.

       From Jordi: [Re: Actions]
           Jordi almost starts a curse when he sees that he has
           hurt Neva, but he remembers that now he must remain
           silent.  So, he concentrates in killing as much gargolyes
           as posible, and to remain as silent as posible; he must
           remember not to make a noise, even if he's wounded...!!!
           He will only yell if he sees that the gargolyes into the
           den are going to kill Kaylle; then, Jordi will try to use
           his "awesome" weapon against them...hoping it gives the
           party the needed time to rescue Kaylle... Jordi will try
           to enter into the gargolyes den to rescue Kaylle, if
           posible.  If, due to combat results, Jordi is unable to
           participate in the fighting, Jordi will retreat to take
           care of the "stunned" guard, unless someone else is
           doing it.
       GM: Ack.

       From Z'leyra: [Re: Actions]                                      
           Z'leyra will stay close to the wall, behind a front rank
           fighter and attacks with her staff. She will yell in
           Marentian "When each gargoyle falls, let in one more!"

           She wants to kill them all but knows going berserk will
           not help FisherKing.
       GM: Ack.

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

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

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

      Turn 1: Phase 3

      [Level 4 - ]
        [Inside Hall -]

          [Thig looks right at the wall and casts his spell again.
           But this time instead of flying at the wall he puts a
           finger up to it slowly and tries to push through.  But
           the finger stops on the rock.  In anger of failure again
           he slams his fist on the wall in exasperation.]

          [Farseeker swings at the gargoyle #3 in front of him
           and hits doing 6 points of wounding damage..]

          [Triest knows he can't fire from his position so moved
           to the left and gets a good field of fire for his
           crossbow..]

          [Trembyl awaits for a good shot..]

        [Outside - East side of Level - ]

          [Unali rounds the corner and finds it much darker since the
           nearest torch is not giving light in this area.  She finds
           a door about 15 feet away.  A simple wooden closed door.]

        [Inside Hall - ]

          [Neva also does with Triest does and gets into a better
           position by leaving the wall and walking north-east.]
                
          [Balrog helps farseeker and thrusts his short sword at
           Gargogle #3 doing 16 massive points which does overkill
           damage and kills the creature..]

          [Caladan waits for a better shot...]
   
          [Wi helps Jordi and charges toward Gargoyle #1 but fails
           to hit with his sword..]
                
          [Kasha runs to the front of the door and then shifts to
           side.  He knows he is in range of the Gargoyle there
           by Jordi but peers into the room.  He quickly counts
           the creatures he sees.  Its not as dark as it seems
           with some torchlight.  He counts..5..10...15?..then
           turns to the group..]
          Kasha: "There must be 15 or more inside!"

          [Chion watches the action...]

        [Outside the large door - ]
                
          [Cholan listens to the diplomats some more....]

        [Inside Hall - ]

          [Z'leyra has no clear target.  Only one gargoyle in
           the room at this time and its surrounded.  She
           glances over at the door behind her and sees it
           shaking...wondering what's behind there..then
           glances back over and looks at the bodies near
           the door.  She sees a pair of keys ona a string
           near the guard with the sword and his body.]

          [Jordi thrusts at Gargoyle #1 and hits but the
           sword hits thick hide and only does 1 point of damage.]

        [Outside the large door - ]
                        
          [Troyis and Ayddar continue to jabber back and forth...]

        [Inside Hall - ]
                
          [Suresh moves about 5 feet closer to the door and tries
           to peer in the door as well and waits for more to
           come through..]

          [Valgor turns to the wall and murmurs a few words.  Then
           he taps his warstaff against the wall and finds it
           sink through.  He then slips and walks through the
           wall...this to some is a bit of surprise to some
           who thought he was only some snobby Noble...]

        [Inside Hall - ]
                
          [Aren sees Valgor disappear and walks toward where he
           was and hugs the north wall.  He waits with his sword
           in hand for the others to enter so he can help..]

        [Outside the large door - ]
                                
          [Marta just sighs at the diplomats arguing and takes
           to the wall and slumps down and just sits.]

        [Inside Hall - ]

          [Gargoyle #1 tries to spear Jordi again but fails to
           hit by a good inch..]

          [Six more male Gargoyles storm into the room from the
           door in quick fashion and form a line in front of
           the others or to the side.

           Gargoyle #4 thrusts his Short Sword at Wi and impacts
           doing 12 points of damage.  Wi is impaled and falls
           to the ground...he gives out a great cry of pain..]

           Gargoyle #5 brings down his club at Farseeker's side
           but his chainmail protects the blow and takes no
           damage..

           Gargoyle #6 uses his Hammer to bash Farseeker but
           Farseeker is just able to dodge it by half a inch..

           Gargoyle #7 thrusts his Fighting dagger at Balrog but
           fails to hit...

           Gargoyle #8 swings his fighting dagger at Kasha by the
           door but fails to hit..

           Gargoyle #9 swings at Suresh but suresh is able to
           deftly dodge the blow..

          [Spaar gets his courage and charges forward but not
           close enough for any strikes yet..]

      Turn 1: Phase 4

      [Level 4 - ]
        [Inside Hall -]

          [Thig tired of playing with the wall turns and flies only
           a few inches off the floor since the ceiling is low. He
           flies to the middle of the room and tried to aim quickly
           at one Gargoyle (#8) but fails to hit with his repeating
           crossbow...]

          [Triest sees Wi fall and aims his Heavy Crossbow at
           Gargoyle #4 and with a clear shot now, though near
           Farseeker, fires.  The bolt hits the creature squarely
           in the center of the chest and does 19 points of
           damage..after the thick hit the gargoyle takes 17...
           the Gargoyle falls to the ground and on top of Wi..]

          [Farseeker thrusts at Gargoyle #5 and hits doing 5
           points of minor damage..]

          [Trembyl awaits for a good shot..]

        [Outside - East side of Level - ]

          [Unali reaches the door.  She listens and finds it quiet
           on the other side.  She checks the knob and finds it
           its unlocked.  Hearing it quiet she opens the door
           quietly and peers through.  Its very dark but she
           notices it starts to slant upwards...she recognizes
           this easilly as stairs probably leading up...]

        [Inside Hall - ]
                
          [Neva fears firing in the crowd of others..so waits..]

          [Balrog thrusts at Gargoyle #6 and hits doing about 4
           points of minor damage..]
                
          [Caladan aims but fears collateral damage so holds fire..]
                   
          [Kasha bashes his mace at Gargoyle #8 and hits doing
           a whopping 11 points to the gargoyle..]

          [Chion watches the action...]

          [Z'leyra sees Wi fall and leaps the 15 feet to him.  She
           pushes the gargoyle off with one foot and drags Wi
           back about 15 feet to her original position.  She quickly
           kneels and examines him.  A large gaping hole from the
           sword.  No pulse.  She quickly casts a healing spell..
           No time for more extensive magic or healing techniques
           she casts a quick spell.  She lays hands and the spell
           goes off and suddenly the wound closes up but is still
           there.  Wi heals 6 points back..with the magic and
           natural healing.  Wi begins to breath a gasp and then
           breathing again..]

          [Jordi thrusts at Gargoyle #1 again and hits doing 7
           more points to the wounded creature but he is still
           standing..]          

          [Suresh thrusts at Gargoyle #7 and hits doing 4 points
           of minor wounding damage..]
                
          [Valgor explores the room adn causes some gargoyles to
           attack him but their weapons pass right through him..]

        [Inside Hall - ]

          [Aren charges to help and attacks the side of Gargoyle #8
           and hits but only knicks 1 point past the heavy hide..]
    
          [Gargoyle #1 now upset about being hit tries to swing
           at Jordi but again fails to strike..]

           Gargoyle #5 swings club at farseeker but misses..
                
           Gargoyle #6 swings again with his hammer at Farseeker
           but he deftly avoids the blow again..

           Gargoyle #7 thrusts his Fighting dagger at Balrog but
           and hits but Balrog's leather protects the attack...
                                                
           Gargoyle #8 swings his fighting dagger at Kasha by the
           door but fails to hit..again...

           Gargoyle #9 swings at Suresh but Suresh sees it and
           dodges the blow by half an inch..if not would've been
           a deadly hit...

          [Spaar runs east and joins aside Balrog.  He thrusts his
           sword at Gargoyle #6 and hits doing 7 points of damage.]

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

      [Time lapse: 6 seconds - 2 phases]

    Actions? Comments?
    Next update Monday...

    Ok.  It was asked what I meant by public posts and such.  I'll
    try to explain it since it has been awhile with the mailing
    list.  Simply hit your reply function and reply to the mailing
    list email [pnpgm] email address.  Your reply then will be
    PUBLIC and seen by all the other folks on the mailing list.
    The advantage of this is that others will see your actions before
    the next update.  They can then change and react to those
    actions before they post their own.  Discussion can also be
    done on the mailing list for items or plans as well.  BUT
    you should post private actions or comments to my pnpgm at softhome.net
    address.  It is a bit confusing to see pnpgm and pnpgm at softhome.net
    but I'll show the difference below.  You can still send me email
    of your actions but it won't be seen by the others.

        pnpgm at softhome.net - private actions/private email.
        pnpgm at abroere.etc  - public actions/mailing list


    I hope the above larger hallway hex map helps.  Might be easier
    to figure postions out from.  But note the scale.  A hex is
    not 10 feet (as standard) but 5 feet.  This helps enlarge the room.

    6 wounded gargoyles in the room.  A pretty hetic battle so far.

    Unali go upstairs or back down the hall.  Remember there are two
    rooms not explored.  


Oh!  Forgot to mention.  At the end of the phase.  A scream is heard
behind the other door on the south hall.  But in this case its human.
The odd thing is its also in Marentian language! You hear a male
yell "No!...help!"
