     Admin notes: Opps.  Besides the spelling errors which I didn't
     have time to fix last update I forgot Z'leyra's speed spell.
     She would've moved 20 feet more south.  So she would've ended
     up the same row as Chion.

     [Recap]

        From Ben'dar: [Re: Actions]                             
          Ben'Dar continues fighting the warrior nearest to him.
          He will work his way southward and stay near the campfire,
          attacking the warriors and bowmen positioned around the
          fire.
        GM: Ack.

     [New Stuff]

        Octaqi 21, in the 163rd Year [TH]
        [Meanwhile somewhere on the plains]
         [Day 51 of Trip] [Near Enemy camp]
         Time: Roughly 2:05am

     Turn 2 - Phase 2

        [Mana Allocation]

           [None from players]

        [Missile Fire]

           [Bowmen #16 sees the villagers out of his right eye
            and wonders what is going on.  His hand wavers slightly
            but he reloads and fires at Ben'dar only 10 feet
            away.  The arrow hits but bounces off his dragon hide.]

           [Bowmen #18 aims at Ben'dar but doesn't have a good shot
            due to the Zen'da near him.  He holds his fire.]

           [Bowmen #19 aims at Strie'bog but the arrow flies over
            Strie'bogs head.]

           [Bowmen #26 to the west of Strie'bog aims at him but
            doesn't have a good shot due to the Zen'da in the
            way.]

           [Strie'bog loads his longbow and fires the 6 feet to
            the Rider #5 and hits.  It does 6 points of damage
            the rider falls to the ground having already been
            injured.]


        [Magic Effect]

           [Man #S1 turns only a foot from the wave of moving people
            going north.  He looks and sees Chion impact against the
            Tent.  He beats his drum at his hip and looks at Chion
            while chanting a spell.  But nothing seems to happen
            to Chion.]
           GM: With a drum clearly heard now its clear S1 is a shaman.

           [Chion's Transport spell continues...The first villager at
            the northern tip of the wave moves 6 feet.  The horse right
            there jumps away.  But the man impacts against the fallen
            body of #17 and does 5 more points of damage.  The knocked
            out man is now dead from the blow.  The other man #12
            Farseeker took out rides north with the wave of people.
            Farseeker is outside the wave but the big warrior is
            inside and fails to jump away.  His armor protects against
            the fall as he rides the wave.  The Dog attacking Caladan
            takes damage as he falls.  Caladan is already down so
            takes no damage as he is swept north.  At 16 feet north
            the wave hits the small 1 man tent at 5,24.  Caladan is
            the first to hit it and the tent collapses from the
            slam and rides northward.  At the same time the right
            side of Chion that wave continues under the 4 man tent.
            The big tent shakes but is big enough it stays in place.
            The wave continues north and hits the two men tent.  The
            tent collapses and is pushed north to the other 2 man
            tent and slams in the back of it.  It stays at 12,27
            blocking the tent entrance.  The other tent at 12,27 does
            not move though.  For those who are south of the 4 man
            tent the wave leaves and they lay on the ground in one
            clump of bodies.]

           [The man at the south end of the fire pulls the object
            from his vest and turns his horse eastward.  He chants
            a few words.  The object held with great strength in
            his left hand.]

        [Melee & Movement]

           [Corona takes to the skies he senses danger...]

           [Four horses near the moving earth get scared from it
            and flee off the map.]

           [The 2 Dog III's near the NW sentries remain in place
            but bark loudly at the action in the east.  The
            dog near the four man tent is scared by the movement
            of earth only feet from him but leaps from side to
            side barking.]

           [The dog that was sitting by the Big warrior moves
            Northward and tries to bite Lodd but fails to attack.]

           [The dog that was attacking Caladan is scared by the
            sudden movement of the earth and heads about 10 feet
            westward to regain his footing.  The dog in the
            corral tries to make sure no more animals leave the
            corral.]

           [The Cow in the corral continues to smack its food that
             it has been chewing for about 10 minutes.  When it
             sees the Big Warrior trying to get his footing from
             the transport spell it gives out a loud "Mooooooo"
             as if laughing.  This only irks the big warrior's wrath
             even further.]

            [Thig shoulders his now empty repeating crossbow.  It
             would take time to reload.  he goes flying low over
             the camp to look for problem spots.  He flies 8 feet
             above #S2 and continues north.  But he suddenly turns
             and does a mid-air turn back south.  His eyes widen
             as he sees it.  He yells "Claw!".  Thinking quickly
             he grabs a water skin on his belt and lets it drop
             right behind the Shaman #2 on the horse.  Hoping that
             people saw it to identify the person.]
            GM:  Those who see this is Kasha, Lodd and Strie'bog.
              Everyone else is not facing in that direction or
              too occupied to see it.  Those 3 are facing south.
              Ben'dar is the closest and he sees it as well.  Everyone
              hears the yell though.  If your not listed you don't
              know where the Claw is.

            [Farseeker is confused by the sudden appearance of
             the villagers.  He saw the Big Warrior go up north
             along with Caladan.  He is worried the warrior will
             kill Caladan.  He runs up north and rounds the empty
             Tipi. He charges the Big Warrior with his great sword
             avoiding the bodies in the area.  The sword fails to
             hit though.]
            
            [Unali slices both daggers in a subdual attack again
             at the short man.  Both hit the first is enough
             to finally knock the man out.  The second does some
             minor damage subdually.  Both daggers though don't
             hit a critical point like the head or neck just the
             abdomen. The man falls off the horse onto the
             ground to the right of the horse.]

            [Ben'dar swings his magical pike at #29 but fails to
             hit.  The skill of Ben'dar and the magic of the pike
             prevents a fumble. :)]

            [The Big Warrior's anger soars as he tries to stand.
             The only place he can go is right at Farseeker
             for stable ground.  He leaps and tackles Farseeker.
             Both go backwards against the Tipi's hard leather.
             He notices his mace is no longer in his hand due
             tot he spell he dropped the mace.  But his spear
             is still on his back.  He grabs a dagger from his
             belt.  With a battle cry he stabs Farseeker in the
             left chest doing 6 points past the chainmail.  Farseeker
             gives a cry as a lung may be punctured.]

            [Balrog confused by the sudden appearance of villagers
             heads north by the tent.  He looks to the dog so it
             doesn't attack Caladan again.  He charges and swings
             his sword at the dog hits and unfournately kills it.]

            [Caladan still paralyzed is looking right at the face
             of a villager and confused as to what is going on.]

            [Z'leyra's speed increases her running speed.  She
             continues south.  She spots the wizard and targets
             him.  She runs past the dog. Quickly weaves between
             the sleeping villagers and the bodies behind the Tent.
             She pulls up and stabs the wizard in the back.  The
             9 point blow though is blocked by the magical Armor
             spell and his chainmail.  Only 4 points of damage
             actually result.]

            [Jordi swings his sword at #9 again but fails to hit
             the rider again.]

            [Chion turns around..he realizes in the impact his
             staff was knocked loose..he looks around and finds
             it 2 feet away.  He sees Shaman #1 and looks back
             at the wizard.  The shaman is closest.  He runs
             and picks up his staff then charges the shaman.
             He swings his staff and hits the shaman in the
             shoulder doing minor subdual damage but doesn't knock
             the man out.]

            [Kasha steps over the body of one dog and gets into
             place to hit the dog attacking Lodd but fails to
             hit.]

            [Cetric invisible all but to #6 which he just attacked
             pushes his spear again at #6 and hits for 5 more points
             but the man still stands.]

            [Zen'da #29 swings scimitar again hits Ben'dar but
             the damage doesn't penetrate the dragon hide.]

            [the Wizard turns and faces Z'leyra which he can see
             now and swings his war staff.  He hits but her
             magical ring/leather armors protect her.]

            [Rider #9 swings at Jordi and fails to hit as well.]
            GM: Boy these 2 been fighting awhile!

            [Lodd swings on @22 but fails to hit him.]

            [Having cleared the SE sentries with help from Chion
             Corr heads west then NW toward the others.]

            [Zen'da #22 thrusts at Lodd again but fails to hit.]

            [Zen'da #6 swings his weapon at Cetric and hits for
             5 more points of damage.]

            [The villagers stir....Two of the villagers at the
             north end of the Transport Wave wake up and gain
             their footing.  They leap away from the center
             of the wave. Two villagers behind Unali throw off
             their blankets and stand.  Another villager to the
             right of Cetric wakes and stands.  One villager
             near the corral wall stands.  One villager 4 feet
             to the left of Z'leyra stands.   One villager
             behind the wizard wakes and stands.  Five more
             villagers near the wagon wake and stand.]  
           GM: 13 villagers are awake now.  On the map they
            are no longer PPP for a laying down villager.  Those
            standing are marked by P.  But don't forget Praelux
            is a P as well in the far north :)  Running out of
            map legend markers!

                laying down with only blanket over them.  Since
