Game Update #65 in sequence (file #273)

Admin notes: Again if there is something you don't want shown in
the final Experience report let me know.

[Recap]
From Ben'dar: [Re: Actions]
Confident that his dragon armor can protect him from the buzzing
thrown things, Ben'Dar lets loose a a blood-curdling warcry as
he presses the attack on the 3 nearest him.
GM: Ack. Keep in mind with pike being two handed for effective
use if you had a one handed weapon you could use more effect
horse combat. Otherwise your feet are having to clench the
saddle and no hands on reins limits Tef'wo's vertical movement
before making you fall off.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
[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 - 12:51pm]
[Earlier that day Unali checked out a Scroll found by
Arawn found in the Cabin. She translates it for him
since it is written in the Katai language. She is also
willing to translate for any who wish to hear it. So
in effect the scroll is public. It reads as follows.]
------------Scroll Text------------
[The Scroll is slightly tanned and scared by the Heat spell.
It is very wrinkled and crinkled in places. In some cases
it seems the ink has been virtually evaporated or destroyed?]
"The Plan is set in motion. Nom has seen to connections in ----
---- (missing ink or destroyed]. The Brain is almost ready
in Rising Mount. The House is supportive. Major operations
[burnt text here but looks like word "are"] are in action.
Soon the time of [---destroyed text---]-Harla will be set.
Product will be expected in one season. Be careful of locals.
Kill anything that hinders Product. Nom will sent Attendant
to collect Product.
You are only to oversee Product development not interfere in
operations of Growers. No contact should be made unless in
extreme emergency.
Chu Yu"
[At the bottom is some symbol of what could be a animal
wrestling another animal as if in a circle one on
top of each other. ?]
------------Scroll Text------------
-----------------------------------------------------------
[Time - 3:56pm]
[Current Weather Conditions of Combat - Heavy Overcast
and temperature is 62 degrees. But no weather effects.]
[Turn 1: Phase 2]
[Mana Allocation - ]
[Z'leyra and Bohusara allocate mana for spells.]
[Missile Fire - ]
[With the objects still in his hand #2 leans back and
throws them at Ben'dar minus the one object that
stuck in his armor. Four objects zoom and buzz toward
Ben'dar coming fast. Of the four one hits Ben'dar
in the right thigh and penetrates the thick armor
doing 1 more point of damage. The other 3 buzz by
and slowly arc to return to the thrower.]
[Enemy #9 is too close to Farseeker and in melee to
throw anything at this time. But Enemy #12 glances
at Unali his closest target at about 63 feet away.
Too far he throws nothing.]
[Thig aims his repeating crossbow at #4 and #5 but
both are by allies and too dangerous to fire. He
relevels and aims at #7 and fires. The dart flies
the 40 feet toward him but impacts in the sand to
be later recovered.]
[Magic Effect - ]
[Z'leyra casts a invisibility spell on herself and
disappears.]
[Bohusara considers her spells. She has some powerful
attack spells. One alone could probably kill most
in the clearing including the party (13-28 points
of damage) but again it would harm the party. She
decides on a single spell and casts Force Blast toward
Enemy #12. She pushes out with her right hand and
throws the telekinetic punch toward the man...and
nothing happens...The man doesn't fall. The man
doesn't get knocked out...the man doesn't even seem
affected by the spell. But how can that be? Her
eyes widen. She knows such a spell could likely
knock out a dragon (11d10 11-110 points of subdual
damage). But this seemed to do nothing! She
stares in disbelief.]
[Melee & Movement-]
[Ben'dar gives a blood-curdling warcry on Tef'wo and
whirls around to attack again. The Warcry is heard
echoing in the clearing startling some who aren't
used to it like Thig. But the humanoids seem unaffected
by the warcry and just as determined. Inside the forest
the echoes of the cry seem to come from everywhere with
the trees and other obstructions. So Arawn is unsure
who or what sent that cry. Arawn has never heard
Ben'dar do his Zen'da warcry. Ben'dar doesn't
move much and has no real charge in the tight quarters
but is able to get a few feet and rushes the wounded
#1 again. The pike hits the warrior in the left arm
and cuts it completely off just above the elbow.
Black blood pours out onto the forest ground and onto
Tef'wo. The Warrior drops his staff and growls but
doesn't seem to do anything but scowl. For the first
time in his young life Ben'dar sees sheer rage in his
eyes. He also feels fear. That blow which was
devastating would take down most warriors. This didn't
seem to phase this one. He still stands! That
black blood, not red?! Ben'dar wonders if this one
will need a 3rd hit to take him down. But suddenly
the man keels over and falls onto the ground. Ben'dar
smiles so these things can die!]
GM: Ok. Forgot Bohusara's spell bonus did the extra
damage to kill the warrior.
[Unali swipes her magical dagger at #8 but fails to
hit as he dodges just in time.]
[Corona flies over the lake and toward #11 a bolt of
red crimson fires from his eyes and hits the ground
to the side of him. Corona flies back up.]
[Boyzdar sees #7 charging near Strie'bog and his mom.
His instincts of protection kick in without orders
he charges. He rounds to the side and clamps down
on the warrior's right arm and bites hard. But the
bite doesn't seem to penetrate the armor.]
[Farseeker caught by the "staff" wrapped around his
arm uses it as leverage and ducks down and pulling.
With a tilt and slight upper swing he holds his great
sword up as he impales the upper right chest The
sword penetrates the thick armor and black blood
pours to the ground. The 31 points of damage
makes the warrior gag and cough up black blood then
fall to the ground.]
[Warrior #4 swings his staff and hits him in the
right arm doing 5 points of damage.]
[Warrior #6 uses his staff and turns into a stringy
whip that hits the back of the wolf doing 4 points
of damage.]
[Warrior #12 continues to run North-West.]
[Chion turns and thrusts his Sai at #5 and hits
in the left shoulder doing 18 points of damage
as black blood runs down the dark black leathers.]
[Trembyl thrusts his magical scimitar at Warrior #4
and hits in the chest doing the additional damage
to kill the warrior.]
[Warrior #7 charges Strie'bog and swings his staff
at him but Strie'bog ducks in time to not be hit.]
[Another warrior runs from the forest into the clearing
in the southeast (#19).]
[Another warrior heads into the clearing along side
the other warrior (#16).]
[Warrior #5 uses the staff in whip mode and strikes
at Chion but it misses him by mere inches.]
[Warrior #17 moves through the forest and near where
Arawn is.]
[Another warrior runs from the west side of the
forest into the clearing straight toward the
area Z'leyra is at.]
[Another warrior heads out the forest's eastern edge
and runs north-west (#14).]
[Warrior #9 swings his staff at Farseeker and hits in
the back doing only 1 point of damage.]
[arawn moves quickly through the bushes toward #17
which just passed him and gets behind him. But
at the last second he stumbles on a tree root and
the sword misses the warriors back.]
GM: Bad roll even for a backstab! :<
[Strie'bog's mental reverie is broken by the attack
on him. Having hesitated he doesn't get the use
of a bow but grabs his axe and swings it at #7
The Axe hits the warrior in the neck and black
blood sprays out. The 22 point blow takes a large
chunk of shoulder and neck out but amazingly doesn't
seem to take the warrior down. The warrior's armor
may have protected against a beheading?]
[Warrior #8 swings his staff at Unali and hits her
in the chest almost knocking her off the horse if
it hadn't been for the magical dagger. She got
a good enough warning flash to grab hold of the
saddle. But she takes 6 points of damage and
the wind blown out of her.]
[Warrior #3 swings on Ben'dar with his staff but
fails to hit.]
[Warrior #13 runs past Farseeker and westward into
the clearing.]
[Warrior #20 runs on the north eastern path between the
lake and the forest toward the west.]
[Warrior #11 continues to charge toward the Green Lady.]
[Xian swings his staff on #6 and hits him in the
side doing more damage to the previously damaged
warrior. He falls to the floor dead.]
---------------------------------
[Turn 1: Phase 3]
[Mana Allocation - None]
[Missile Fire - ]
[Warrior #2 throws he four objects at Ben'dar again.
Two miss entirely and circle back. But one hits
with a thud but doesn't penetrate the armor. The
fourth one does hit and penetrates deep. Ben'dar
feels a biting sensation as he takes 5 points of
damage as blood comes out the hole.]
[Thig loses #7 as target and turns to the left and
aims at #15 and fires. The dart whizzes past the
invisible Z'leyra by inches and hits the warrior
but bounces off his thick armor.]
[Magic Effect - None]
[Melee & Movement- ]
[Bohusara seeing enemy charging her way knows she
is no in shape to fight hand to hand. Especially
with no weapon. She takes to the air. She flies
to the north-west and lands 30 feet away at the
edge of the water.]
[Ben'dar quickly reaches down with two fingers and
pulls the round thing out his wound. It seems to
be soft but hard in places. Without looking at
it, no time, he throws it to the ground. He then
thrusts his pike again at #3 but fails to hit.]
[Unali stabs down and hits Warrior #8 in the left
shoulder doing 19 points of damage.]
[Corona dives this time at Enemy #15 and red fire
shoots from his eyes again and hits the warrior
in the right arm. With Bohusara's spell boosting
damage the eagle does a massive 25 points to that
one arm virtually disintegrating the arm and
making him give a cry of pain. For the first time
some reaction is seen from these creatures.]
[Boyzdar leaves Xian and heads to protect Strie'bog.
He charges and leaps at #7. He bites onto the man's
left leg and does a massive artery crushing 18
points of damage. The humanoid falls to the ground dead.]
[Farseeker's arm who is still entangled by the
dead #10's staff can't use his sword on #9 but
can turn and kick. Which is what he does. With
a full force kick he strikes the humanoid in
the chest with his boot and does a bone crushing
19 points of damage, thanks to Bohusara. The
humanoid staggers back giving Farseeker time to
free himself.]
[Warrior #2 grabs the last 2 flying objects back into
his hand.]
[Enemy #12 heads north toward Strie'bog.]
[Chion swings his Sai at #5 but fails to strike.]
[Trembyl joins Chion and attacks #5 and hits
him in the side impaling the warrior. With
Chion's previous damage the man falls to the
ground dead.]
[Warrior #19 continues north-west.]
[Warrior #16 continues north-west.]
[Warrior #17 in the forest swings around hearing
something. He stares directly at Arawn but
doesn't see him. He brings up his staff but
doesn't thrust. His eyes dart back and forth.]
[Z'leyra pulls her bastard sword. She decides
to get out of the line of fire from Thig
and charges 13 rather than #15. She rounds
to the back of the humanoid and strikes with her
bastard sword. She is untrained and so less
effective and does 7 points of damage.]
[Warrior #15 heads westward toward Strie'bog.]
[Warrior #14 heads westward.]
[Warrior #9 gets his breath and growls. he
charges Farseeker. He swings his staff toward
him. The staff hits him in the side doing 7 points
of damage to Farseeker.]
[Arawn slowly backs up. then quickly moves behind
Warrior #17 trying not to make noises. He stabs
the warrior in the back with his sword and does
21 points of damage. But the man does not die.]
[Warrior #16 heads north after turning.]
[Strie'bog sees warriors starting to surround
the area. He turns and hopes Boyzdar will
take care of #12. he swings his axe on the
wounded #15 and hits. The 10 points of damage
finishes the warrior off and kills him.]
[Warrior #8 thrusts his staff at Unali but fails to hit.]
[Warrior #3 swings his staff at Ben'dar but fails
to hit him.]
[Warrior #13 heads north and toward Strie'bog.]
[Warrior #20 heads westward toward Strie'bog.]
[Warrior #11 heads west and swings down his staff
at Boyzdar but fails to hit.]
[Xian moves toward #11 who just attacked Boyzdar.
He swings his staff onto the back of the warrior
and hits doing 6 points of damage.]
Actions? Comments?
Next update Friday....
GM: I redid the map. Better to read coordinates :)
I added Horse position. Unless called, mounted
the horses will remain in that position unless
directly attacked. They are not shown on map for
ease of reading. Also added to Enemy info who may
be carrying the Sling stone "bullet" things in a pouch.
Arawn - Still wounded.
Ben'dar - #1 is dead. #2 is still throwing things. Though
down to only 2 objects it seems. #3 is still unwounded.
Any change of action? You have minor wounds.
Chion - #5 is dead. I will move you to nearest target unless
you designate a target otherwise.
Strie'bog - Will still sue axe unless stated otherwise.
Unali - #8 is a pain in the butt to kill :) But he's wounded.
Z'leyra - Keep in mind not skilled in bastard sword.
GM: Doing much better than would be doing if it weren't
for the high spell bonus Bohusara is adding to everyone.
GM: For Friday's update. I will remove the DEAD warriors
from the map. But for now they stay for this update.
GM: Well darn. Missing #18. I'll find him and add him
in the next update. If he skipped out on work he's fired!
GM: 7/20 dead. 35% dead. Party status is well at this point.
No major wounds yet. 13 Enemy left.
GM: With Bohusara's spell giving you damage bonus this has
good effects in damage but also puts stress on weapons.
So keep this mind. Folks are losing FV during this
last 2 phases. :<
GM: I may not have time to do 2 phases of combat for Friday's
update. Best possible way would be to have actions
by Wednesday night so I could at least work a bit
on the update. But that's pushing so I'll take it as
I can. I'll try two phases but since I only have 2 hours
Thursday night to work on it may run out of time. This
update took 4.5 hours to do. :)
GM: Lastly, see the website. A surprise at the bottom.
Want to see what these humanoids look like? Go look.
I'm no artist but I have a friend who is. Sice I've
planned this encounter over a year had a bit of time
to prepare the images. :)

Note: The forest is thick here and you can only see about 5-10 feet
beyond the tree line due to the amount of trees, shrubs and
thick foliage. Inside the forest visibility is 8-10 feet. The
sun is about 30 degrees up in the western sky. Making the western
edge of forest darker than eastern edge. Bottom of map left
blank of forest areas to show hex scale.
