Game Update #59 in sequence (file #253)
----------------------------------------------------------------
Admin notes: I've updated the People Link at the bottom of the
game website with some new names and personalities the party
knows or will soon learn of.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
[Recap]
From Strie'bog: [Re: Actions]
I don't think Strie'bog is skilled enough to end the spell on
his mother, so he looks to Chion to see if he can do it. As
Chion works, Strie'bog will look around for the wolf Bodyzar.
He will call to Bodyzar.
Once awake, he will hug his mother tightly, a tear in his eyes.
"Are you alright mother? I knew something was wrong."...
He is too overcome to talk to people about his mother's healing
skills. Just over joyed that she is safe. (of course, if
something happened to Bodyzar, he will be upset, and will see
if his mother can heal the wolf).
GM: Ack.
-----------------------------------
From Z'leyra: [Re: Actions]
Z'leyra will patch up and Heal those worst hurt (except those
who had magical healing in the last 24 hours) and supervise
(trying to teach others) in the patching and Healing of those
less wounded. Tef'wo and the wolf will be among those patched
and healed. Z'leyra encourages others to practice and increase
their healing skill and spell skill. After all she might need
their healing someday! :)
She will mention that we should prepare sometime before she
brings out the Oblivioned enemy. Perhaps tomorrow after everyone
is feeling better.
If Strie'bog wants Z'leyra to cast a Dispell on his mother she
will do so, taking all precautions to enhance the spell's
likelihood of success.
As a weaponsmith and armorer Z'leyra will examine and briefly
clean each captured weapon and piece of armor to determine if
there is anything special about it.
As a jeweler Z'leyra will evaluate each piece of jewelry and
indicate to the group that she would like the flawless Jacinth.
Though too small for NMI enhancement, it would make nice
companion piece for some jewelry she already has.
Z'leyra will also examine, and talk with, the captured horses
to get an idea of what they are like and to make their
acquaintance.
If the dead eagle if found Z'leyra will cast a purification
and a Preserve Dead spell on it before going off into the forest
to treat the eagle's body properly to show respect to its spirit.
GM: Ack.

[New Stuff]
[Decalis 16th, 107th day since left Marentia, 42nd day of
Adventure #3 of the 1633rd year [TH].]
[Location: Pavassa Forest - Eastern Edge/On Plains]
[Time - 10:12am]
[As the combat ends the party goes back and forth treating
the worst off. Burn ointments are creamed, herbs are
crushed & mixed, water is drunk and bandages are prepared.
Z'leyra coordinates the effort as best she can.
As Chion, Thig and Strie'bog place the Gren Lady on the
ground they quickly examine her to find the sleep spell.
Thig looks to the forest edge then speaks up.]
Thig: "Before we wake her let's move her to the actual
forest. She'll regenerate there almost instantly. She
may be drained already. The forest will give her life."
[As the three gently carry the body over to the forest they
lie her down on the cool forest grass about 15 feet into
the tree line surrounded by tall trees and shrubs. Thig
examines the visible portions of the Green Lady and finds
no physical wounds. He can sense the magic on her above
her own powerful innate magical power. Thig waves a hand
and speaks some sidh words and attempts to dispel the sleep
ward. Once done he claps gently and then gently nudges
the Green Lady. She begins to moan and finally after a few
seconds blinks her eyes. She awakes to see Chion, Thig and
Strie'bog towering over her and trees. Her bright greeen
eyes glow and show wisdom and power behind those eyes.]
GM: I figure Thig will end the spell. I know Z'leyra offered
but she would be too busy with initial first aid for at
least 10-15 minutes. No post from Chion so had to
conclude with Thig. Either way it works out.
[Strie'bog gets to the left of his mother and grabs her
left hand. With a tear in his eye and emotion flooding his
soul he smiles down at his mother oblivious to things around
him and the chaos of the triage.]
Strie'bog: "Are you alright mother? I knew something was wrong."...
Bohusara: "Stry? What are --" [She looks around confused as to
what is going on and sees Thig and the heavyset chion above
her.] "How...did you get here?"
[Strie'bog's heart warms as he remembers his nickname she
would call him for years. The kids would tease Strie'bog
as he tried things and so would combine his first letter
and try and it stuck. Stry would try to do this and that
and the kids never let it down. But at this time and place
he doesn't care even if the others know his nickname.
Strie'bog looks to Thig and Chion quickly. He helps his
mother sit up. He gives her a big hug and explains its
a long story but will explain it later.]
Thig: "Ma'am are you all right?"
Bohusara: "Yes. They didn't hurt me." [She looks past Thig's
shoulder through the trees to see the scene of people working
and healing each other. A face of concern comes over her
face.] "Friends of yours?"
[Strie'bog and Thig nod.]
Bohusara: "Help me up."
[Both help her to her feet and she stands there for what seems
like minutes but may be only seconds. She closes her eyes
and her skin seems to green even more. But Thig and Strie'bog
don't seem to notice this. Chion does and looks at both
Strie'bog and Bohusara. He thinks to himself that green skin
even as light as they have it might not be good for hiding
in a crowd. Maybe that's why Strie'bog wears a cowl sometimes?]
Bohusara: "You summoned help? I can feel it."
[At that moment the boar snorts and is seen on the edge of
the forest about 5 feet into the plains. High above the
Falcon sits on a tree branch. Both seem to recognize she
is fine now and decide all is right. The boar snorts again
and quickly enters the forest to be lost in the green of
the forest. The Falcon flies out to the plains and then
circles back and over the forest to be lost quickly from view.]
Bohusara: "Some didn't make it?"
[She begins to walk forward and into the plains. Thig looks
to Strie'bog and knows its not good to cross a mother who
may be determined. If she can survive this long on the
plains an extra few minutes outside the forest shouldn't
kill her.]
[At about 8 feet outside the forest her back of her robes
seems to split up to reveal wings. She takes to the sky
with a lift of her knees. Chion and the others are surprised
by this fact.]
Trembyl: "She's a Faerry?"
[Farseeker stops giving water to Ben'dar to answer back.]
Farseeker: "Guess so. Wasn't expecting that. I thought
she was human. Just assumed she was."
Trembyl: "If Strie'bog's mother is Faerry and he is human and
his father was human. That makes him a -" [He doesn't
complete the thought as it trails into the wind as the
Green Lady circles high above the camp.]
[Chion looks to Strie'bog and wonders similar thoughts.
She being only 5'5 and those pointed ears he should've
guessed. He has seen Thig do the same with his clothing
with a secret way to hide his wings and then quickly
unfold them by folds in his clothing. Chion wonders how
a person that small could bear a human child. But then
again his own mother was a tiny woman and look at his size
now. He snickers at the thought of that scene of his birth.
Shaking his head he heads to help the others.]
[Arawn appraises the party and notices everyone has wounds
it seems but Chion. He wonders if this is normal for
such a large group. When he sees Bohusara fly he doesn't
give it much thought. Where he is from and where he has
been such sights are not rare or of interest any more.
He is curious to learn of Strie'bog's mother being Faerry
though he suspected such based on her short height in the
hole and from what he recalls from stories where he is
from. Course where he is from half-breeds are not common.
In fact they tend to be a bit shunned by the pure breeds.
Heck for him a son of gods its bad enough to even mix
with such folks. At least that was his parent's bias for
years. Maybe down here in the True World one can learn
to live side by side with such people. Even if he may never
again meet a Alfar in this place. Soon he becomes homesick
in his thoughts and wonders he and if he'll get home...]
[Ben'dar gets water from Farseeker and feels pain riddle
his whole body. Xian helped him the first time and that
was good. But now it seems more than 2/3rd's his body
is in pain. He tries to recall what happened. Something
about a log falling and Thig being crushed? No. The log
was bout to crush Thig and he pushed him out of the way
at the last second. That was it. His eyes furrow as he
wonders why he even saved the strange being. They've never
been much friends. Rarely talk. Thig tends to be high
and mighty with his social skills and probably thinks barbarians
are all alike. Uneducated and foam mouthed idiots. That
Varange fellow sure felt that way back on the island. He
seemed to hate anyone not Faerry or at least tolerate them.
Oh well. Saving Thig might mean he'll be saved one day.
Xian virtually saved him today. If he hadn't he might
be dead by that foul female who killed herself in her own
flame spell. The idiot. But desperate folks will do
desperate things. His thoughts suddenly break when he
sees the Green Lady fly around the camp. Huh? She
can fly. That's neat. Man my side hurts he thinks all
at once. He lays back on the ground and watches as
Z'leyra comes over with her bag and gets some burn ointment
out. He closes his eyes waiting for the help.]
[Chion surveys the ground of bodies and the cabin. Such
a waste of destroyed cabin. Just what seems like days
ago he was thinking of a place of his own when they got
to Bohusara's cabin. He thinks of home again and wonders
why the staff feels just slightly warm to his touch when
its chilly outside. He then recalls his desire to learn
from the Shaman Cetric. His reverie is broken when someone
calls for him to help with bandage setting...]
[Farseeker itches his arm from the burn damage and watches
as Bohusara flies around the camp. He hopes she doesn't
see the headless body under the horse blanket he hid. Might
upset her. Who would think in just a few months he would
behead two folks and both times almost by sheer accident.
When he was trained for such action it wasn't part of his
training to do so. Kill or wound. But not overkill.
He wonders if this whole combat was too easy. Sure many
were hurt but Chion, as usual he thinks to himself. But
it could've been worse. Who was behind this whole thing
or are there more involved? Why? Then flashes of the
dead come to his mind. He suddenly realizes that the
female Z'leyra killed, the one with the bow, is familiar.
he thinks hard and it suddenly comes to him. She was
on one of the many wanted posters. An escaped felon for
Theft in Marentia. Reward of 12 or 14 Silver if he recalls.
He makes a mental note to tell Z'leyra later. Maybe she
can collect on the reward. So she was that far south?
he considers all the reasons why...]
[Thig smiles as the Green Lady takes to the air. To see
one in person is a honor for him. While in the Wild
Forest he never saw one before. Heard stories of there
being on there but not even set foot in the sacred forest
there. This event will be something to tell old friends
and family about. And to know Strie'bog a son of a Green
Lady! What a great benefit that is. Maybe he can even
tell that arrogant Varange about this one day and rub it
in. His smile fades as he recalls Vul'heim. She
interests him as well. While Bohusara is impressive and
glows with power and beauty there is something about
Vul'heim that intrigues him. He starts to consider some
deep decisions...]
[Strie'bog looks to the party and grabs his Balalaika. He
tests it to see if the spell is there. But it is gone.
Miklav did say it would go away once contact was made
and he was right. He watches his mother fly around
and worries for her. There is so much to tell and so
much to ask. The diary. Should he mention he read it?
Privacy is important. Maybe he can just ask things
that don't involve it. He looks at the party and wonders
how the others will treat him now. Knowing that he is
a half breed. While Strie'bog didn't keep it quiet his
pale green skin and eyes surely must've indicated something.
But no one had asked or questioned it. This party seems
to be tolerant. There is Thig and in the past even a Dwarf
in the party. Several Elves. So they aren't just a human
centric group. He recalls his child years and being teased
by most of the kids even when they knew the influence his
mother and her friend the Forestal had. But there was
true love between his dad and mother. One thing being
a Bard is they teach you to be loving and tolerant. He
is happy to see no disgusted faces outwardly by the party
as they watch her fly. At least that's good. He then
recalls the comments of his mother and gives a quick but
quiet prayer to the forest and to the gods for their help
in this encounter. The creatures that helped when he
summoned them died for Bohusara. Was it worth it? He
thinks so. He hopes his mother does as well...]
[Unali helps bring out and prepare bandages. She glances
only briefly at Bohusara in wonder but is determined in
her work to help the others. Another Faerry. No problem.
A powerful one. No problem. Thig is powerful in his
own right. No big deal. She glances up and then back
down. She wonders why she seems to be staring at her?
that's annoying. Unali ignores her and turns her back
to the flying Lady...]
[Xian helps with Triage as best he can. He doesn't do
magical healing yet as he gets bleeding and the burn sores
to stop their leaking at this point.]
[Z'leyra is occupied mentally for the most part assessing
each person's wound. Some are serious like Arawn's and
Ben'dar's. She wonders with the slew of burns if she
even has enough burn ointment left. She may have to
ration it. She tries to recall the last inventory of
her supplies as she watches the Green Lady fly around
the camp. As she does she recalls the eagle landing
near her feet and becomes sad. She must make a mental
note to go find it for a proper burial. She then panics
and wonders where Corona is. She stands and looks around
to find him in the trees sitting on a tree just staring
out into the plains oblivious to things. At least
he is alive. She notices him stretch a wing and some blotch
of red is seen. Blood? She figures him wounded and calls
for him to come over....]
[Thig walks to the group and speaks.]
Thig: "Z'leyra, Bohusara has the ability to heal a group
at once. With her power she might be able to heal
far greater. It may be something to consider."
Trembyl: "So who were those females?"
Farseeker: "Humagi probably. But I'm surprised they
had some form of power based on that culture."
[Bohusara lands near Thig.]
Thig: "No. The men were Humagi. The female were Witches."
Xian: "Witches? How do you know?"
Thig: "They were spell casters. Do you recall the village
after the giants? The one where Strie'bog blessed the
newborn? We learned of a rumor of witches 'in the east'."
[Several in the party flashback to that time and recall the
events of that period.]
GM: Update #14 was first mention of this. No one had
followed up on the rumor :)
Bohusara: "Also don't forget the pets they had."
[Strie'bog translates Vassa to Marentian. The party
then recalls the Crow, the Snake and the spider. All
likely pets.]
Thig: "Familiars for their magical power. Also they
didn't wear Drums so weren't shamans."
Farseeker: "hmmmm. This must be the first time we've
come across witches."
[Strie'bog introduces each person to Bohusara. She
nods and smiles to each in return. She draws Strie'bog
away. She whispers to her son while glancing at Unali.]
[Once they are done they both return and she smiles again.]
Bohusara: "Z'leyra treat them as best you can. I can
then heal the entire group in one spell. Those
who wish to be healed magically please gather in a group
around me once treated and prepared by Z'leyra."
[As she waits she frowns and looks at the cabin. ]
Bohusara: "Its sad to know friends came to help me.
The Deer. The Eagle. Did that horse over there
die from helping me?"
[Strie'bog explains as best he can what happened in the
combat.]
Bohusara: "They can't be helped. I'm deeply grateful
for their help. I pledge to see to their spiritual
well being in a proper ritual and if possible seek
the forest's help to find any of their family to help."
[Strie'bog doesn't translate this as the others seem busy
at any rate. He smiles impressed as always by his mother's
always wonderful soul. Even in death she feels sorry
for the forest creatures. He wonders if he could do the
same thing in her position. After all that boar if cornered
would surely kill a Vassa child if it wanted to. Do they
deserve to be helped? Suddenly he hears his pal whimper
and to his shock he recalls his pal being hurt. he rushes
to the wolf and checks the wolf out feeling grief for
almost forgetting about the wolf....]
Actions? Comments?
Next update Friday..
GM: Treasure - Z'leyra claims the Jacinth. If nothing
else is claimed it will be party treasure.
Reports - I guess the experience reports were all good.
Good enough. No questions on it?
Healing -
Thig wants to be healed by Green Lady. Likely to
be completely healed by her.
Z'leyra will heal herself.
Farseeker wishes to be healed by Green Lady.
Xian, Trembyl by Green Lady.
Ben'dar - Your healed 1st today.
Ben'dar, Arawn, Strie'bog, Unali - Who do you wish
to be healed by? If I don't get an answer by
Friday I'll assume your in the area effect of
the Lady's spell. Options are yourself, Z'leyra
or Lady. But the Lady's healing powers are great.
Corona, Wolf, Tef'wo and Falcon wish to be healed by
the Green Lady.
Also if you guys need multiple healings to get to 100%
let me know if you wish to get more healings. If
you want I can email you your chances of death but
you guys should know the formula for such. Its
straight forward. For PCs it is kinda slim for most
characters. I will assume only 1 healing if not
stated otherwise.
GM: Schedule of Events -
I hope to complete healings by Friday's update.
By then I should know status on how folks are and
if they can handle the Next Step of this adventure :)
That will determine how quickly it comes. Maybe
minutes or days :) We are quickly about 85% done
with the adventure. There is one more detail to
follow up. Once that is done then after things
and clean up (like the festival for solstice and
such). Then its done. Assuming the party survives
the next step :). We could be done with this
adventure by end of the summer. To begin #4
likely mid-fall depending on Between time depending
on how much that'll be on actions getting back home
and such.
