     [Recap]

        From Kiet: [Re: Actions]
          "OUCH!"

          Whisper to whomever might come to me to help, "Get below the
          floating statue or keep the metal man between you and the
          floating statue."
        GM: Ack. 

                        -----------------------------

        From Fremea: [Re: Actions]
          Fremea, hearing Caladan yell and seeing the elf burst into flames,
          she will turn towards the metal man and see if she can shoot a
          fire arrow at it. If not (cause Raban is in the way) then she
          will shoot the elf on fire and make sure he is completely dead.
        GM: Ack. 

                        -----------------------------

        From Ben'dar: [Re: Actions]
          Ben'Dar howls a Z'endan warcry, sensing that the battle may be
          shifting in the favor of the party.  He finishes off the guard
          near him, then charges across the room to defend Z'leyra while
          she works on Kiet.  He will finish off the burning elf swordsman
          or engage the floating statue - whichever is closest to
          threatening Z'leyra.  Once those threats are neutralized, he will
          come back and help Raban with the metal man if needed.  But his
          first priority is to defend Z'leyra, since she is the best hope
          of those like Kiet and Arawn (both of whom seem to need immediate
          healing as far as Ben'Dar is concerned).  If something moves to
          attack Z'leyra, he will break off whatever fight he's in and
          move to guard her.
        GM: Ack. 

                        -----------------------------

        From Z'leyra: [Re: Actions]
          Calling to others "Need a healing spell here for Kiet! I am out
          of mana!" Z'leyra reaches into her satchel and takes out to put
          onto Kiet the enhanced Jade that should increase his strength by
          10 increasing his HPV by at least 2. She slaps a pressure bandage
          onto the wound and gets ready to use a dose of Unicorn Horn on
          him if necessary.

          She suggests "Block the senses of the statue and metal man!"
          Hoping people will drape a cloak or something over the heads of
          each.
        GM: Ack. 

                        -----------------------------

        From Raban: [Re: Actions]
          <Someone sure is good with Fire Dart! Or decent with a lot of
          lucky dice. Such special effects too...what a mess. Raban's
          player is jealous, Raban has not done that much damage yet with
          his fist. Of course being at ground zero to the special effects
          could be a bad thing>

          <Damn, another tough one, I had hoped there would be a nice
          target to smash a metal man into but little nearby. Statue is
          across the room so would be difficult. With a lift approaching a
          ton (artistic license), can even Raban pickup the metal man and
          smash him down again! Stay tuned and see....>

          <That seems to be the choices, wrestling to control and possibly
          smash it into things hard enough to hurt it. Not sure if Raban is
          in a position to try to blind the metal man, though shoving his
          head into the fireplace could work for that? Lots of soot etc?
          Fortunately there is no time for Raban to put on a spandex
          outfit...>

          Raban is happy again, finally something he can use to really show
          off with. Defeating this metal monster will surely impress the
          ladies. On that thought Raban grabs him in an attempt to throw
          him to the ground (Or something flashier if its light enough)
          <Raban has no doubts he can do all this.... Hopefully he is
          right or the embarrassment may kill him!>
        GM: Ack. Firestone helps and the level of enhancement. :)

     [New Stuff]

        [Ma 2nd, 1633TH. 5th Day of Adventure #4.
        [Location: Chaos domain, Dark Lands, 9 Miles up, Flying Island]

        [Time: 10:20am]

        [Turn 3: Phase 1]

           [Mana Allocation -

             [Caladan gathers magical energy.]

           [Missile Fire    -

             [Unali who belted her daggers and headed around the corner to
              the foyer the party originally came in, draws her magical
              sling.  She grabs a projectile and loads the sling.  Standing
              just to the left of the south door to the room she aims at the
              statue and fires.  The projectile hits the statue in the right
              arm and the enhanced damage from the sling does enough damage
              to the stone to crumble the arm between the hand and elbow.
              Cracks form and continue to damage the arm and soon half the
              arm falls to the ground.  Unali is surprised to see how
              brittle the statue is.  She figures it must be that way from
              age.]

           [Magic Effect    - ]

             [The statue aims the other arm with the stone "ball" toward  a
              target -Raban in this case.  The yellow energy sphere heads
              overhead Arawn and toward Raban.  But it splashes to the right
              of him on the wall missing entirely.]

             [Caladan lowers his magical staff at waist level and aims it
              at the statue.  He raises one arm and lightning shoots from
              his hand as he completes the spell words.  The lightning
              strike goes past the statue and hits the wall to the right
              of the door causing paint and stone to shatter.]

             [The Dark Elf takes more damage from the magical flames.]

           [Melee & Movement- ]

             [Fremea sees that Z'leyra and Raban are blocking a good shot
              from the metal man and an arrow could miss and hit Arawn  
              if she fired on the Dark Elf so she holds bow and arrow and
              leaps out the door and into the air.  She flies west over
              Z'leyra and Kiet, over the couch and into a better position
              to fire next time.]

             [Raban growls as he saunters over the knocked out guard below
              his feet. Giant to Metal man he is happy to finally have some
              form of balanced fight.  He just hopes it impresses the
              ladies, if they are even watching.  He knows he can lift with
              ease over 1,000 pounds for a short distance.  Having lifted up
              a wagon once to save someone with adrenaline that strength
              might be increased.  But he knows his right arm is also weak.
              He knows he could punch the metal man but his hands might be
              a bit damaged after.  Sure he has the strength to kick in
              metal doors that are very thin.  But this thing seems to be
              solid. With his large hands he grabs the metal man by the
              large chest/waist region.  He gives a growl and lifts up the
              man off the ground.  For a second the metal man dangles off
              the floor a foot then Raban gets his strength.  Soon
              Raban lifts the man to shoulder length.  He knows his right
              arm is already starting to flex from strain.  He knows
              that if he lifted the being over his head the arm could lose
              strength and then there would be a squished Raban under the
              weight of the metal man.  Now about 3 feet off the ground
              Raban pulls the metal man toward him and then with great
              force shoves him.  The metal man goes flying 6 5 or 6 feet
              toward the north wall.  With a loud crack the metal man
              impacts against the left side of the fireplace.  This
              crumbles bricks and creates a dust and debris cloud from the
              cracked and crumbling wall.  The north wall splits a
              few cracks in a diverse random pattern from the impact but
              most of its integrity remains for now.  Raban is unsure
              of any damage done to him but the maid for this place will
              have a mess to clean up.]

             [The Dark Elf tries to slam his arms onto the flame to stop
              the flames as he wiggles in pain.]

             [Ben'dar feels a large pressure of air change behind him as if
              something large moves then hears the crack of impact against
              wall.  He figures Raban is playing with the Metal man so turns
              his attention to the guard.  He swings his pike  The pike
              slices through the man's right arm and cuts it off just above
              the elbow.  Blood splatters and part of the lower arm and
              hand roll toward the upturned couch.  The man hits the ground
              dead.  As he swings he gives a Zen'da battle cry that echos
              in the room.]

             [Arawn stares up into the ceiling and notices all but 2 candles
              are lit.  He knows he is in no great danger as his energy
              shield is up now.  He has seen a flame dart, lightning and
              yellow energy shoot over him and wonders what he is missing
              in the fight.  When he saw A'kril fall he figures by now he
              is dead.  Most wouldn't want to help him other than himself.
              Arawn doesn't know of Kiet's bad situation so just remains in
              a calm mood for now.  He does a silent prayer to his parents
              for information and for help.  Why wouldn't they tell him of
              these Dark Elf types? Kototh is so bold he doesn't care who
              knows of his failures and his minions.  But the Elves seem to
              have that eternal pride that they must be some long last
              family shame.  Then there is the matter of A'kril and his
               actions.  He was only defending himself against a enemy that
               invaded his home. He only asked the party to surrender arms
               for a balanced talk.  To humans such things are a hostile
               act.  Humans think in such solid areas of Good and Evil.
               Law is good, chaos is bad and Balance is the middle.  When
               in fact he knows better.  All beings be it demon or human
               have forms of good and evil in them.  In the bedtime tales
               of the God War Arawn was told of so called good-lawful gods
               who killed thousands in order to rid the area of one chaos
               creature or god supporter.  A lesson he has learned all too
               well that not always the means justify the ends.]

              [Z'leyra puts down her great sword and glances to the north 
               east corner where her staff is.  Too far to waste time to go
               get it.  She reaches around and grabs her satchel and opens
               it to rummage inside it.  She reaches for the jade inside its
               leather cage and pulls it out. She places it onto the lower
               abdomen of Kiet.  She can't risk his strength fading if
               holding it and his head is sweating too much and chest
               bleeding.  So that's the only good location.  She tucks it
               inside his pants waistband.  She guesses he has now 9 seconds
               maybe 10 to live.  But this stone might give him an extra 5
               or 6 seconds.  She reaches for bad and some bandages to deal
               with the wound.  She curses her drain of mana as a quick
               healing spell could end this in just a couple of seconds.
               As does all this she speaks out loud.]

              Z'leyra: "Need a healing spell here for Kiet! I am out of
                mana!"

              [Caladan curses his bad luck at his spell miss and scans
               the room for options for the upcoming seconds.]

              [Kiet looks up at Z'leyra and becomes pale as the main healer
               in the group requests help.  this doesn't look good for him,
               he figures.  He feels his pants lift up slightly and
               something cold be placed there.  He figures this is no time
               for some fun plan.  but before he can say anything he feels
               a sudden surge of strength and stamina.  His heart seems to
               tingle as if shocked back to life by something that could
               help him. unsure what is going on he speaks up mostly to no
               one.]

              Kiet:  "Get below the floating statue or keep the metal man--"

              [The metal man squirms on the ground like a upturned turtle
               trying to right itself.  As dust and stone fall onto his
               shoulders he tries to get up.  Then a spark of wisdom comes
               to him and he uses the side of the fireplace to pull himself
               up and stands.  The dust and debris makes the metal man
               look like a black statue with snow on it.  With emotionless
               eyes he stomps toward Raban.  He swings his arm and punches
               Raban in the left chest just under the shoulder cracking
               a rib and doing 8 points of damage.]

              
                -----------------------------------------

        [Turn 3: Phase 2]

             [Caladan tries again for another spell, building up energy.]

             [Fremea now hovering in the air also builds up energy into
              her hands.]

             [Fremea aims her bow and arrow at the floating statue and fires
              her fire arrow.  She notices at the last second that the
              flames are dying down on the Dark Elf and he seems to still
              be alive.  She twists slightly and fires the arrow toward the
              Dark Elf.  The arrow doesn't explode from impact and she
              figures the fire spell failed.  The arrow flies toward the
              Elf and slices into his neck doing massive damage killing the
              Dark Elf instantly.]

             [The Statue turns toward Fremea and a ball of yellow energy
              shoots out from the stone ball.  It splashes onto Fremea
              but her magic defense or the spell fails as she remains in
              the air and not on the ground.]

             [Caladan raises his hand and points at the statue again.  He
              hopes his aim is good and won't hit Fremea.  The bolt of
              lightning flashes forward and hits the statue squarely in the
              chest and the electricity splashes all over the stone body.
              The amount of damage done explodes the statue into pieces of
              stone that fly everywhere.  Leaving only the floating disk
              to hover in the hair with part of a right stone foot on it.]

             [Raban attempts the same stunt as before and picks the metal
              man up. This time he throws the metal man directly into
              the lit fireplace.  The metal man impacts against the back
              of the warm fireplace with his left arm and smashes a large
              indention into the wall. His chest lands in the fire and the
              back of the metal man cracks from integrity loss.  Fire sweeps
              over the metal man and seems to engulf it but not burning it.]

             [Kiet not knowing what is going on continues his talk.]

             Kiet: "--between you and the floating statue."

             [Z'leyra applies a bandage tot he chest wound but knows it
              is only a stop gap measure.  She continues her own comments
              to the party.]

             Z'leyra: "Block the senses of the statue and metal man!"

             [The metal man rolls onto his left and a loud crack is heard
              as part of his left arm opens up. As he rolls he stops in
              mid-roll and doesn't move again.]

                                -------------------

             [Combat ends and dust, smoke, soot, stone are everywhere.
              The once clean and glorious noble room is now a disaster
              of blood, gore and destruction.  Raban keeps the metal
              man's head deep in the smoldering fire.  Given enough time
              the head might just melt.  The statue is virtually
              destroyed to a million pieces some no bigger than hand
              sized rocks. The lack of integrity due to age and such
              has obliterated it.]

             [Caladan and Ben'dar run over to Z'leyra to help them.  But
              Caladan shakes his head at the damage.  Z'leyra knows that
              he doesn't do healing spells.  Z'leyra glances over her
              shoulder at Arawn.  He could but it is unknown how long
              his paralysis will take.  She notices Fremea land near
              Arawn and her fingers tape a energy field of some sort.
              No telling how long that'll take to fade away.  Chion
              could heal but he has been absent.]

            * 1. Yes Z'leyra the spell failed you were saved by A'kril who
                 stopped the spell then you killed him. :<
              2. Fremea - I lost the record of CEP earned from other
                 attacks.  It WAS recorded just accidentally deleted it
                 before could put in above report.

               Player       Item Notes
               Unali       -1 FV Magical Dagger
               Caladan     -1 FV Magical War Staff
               Kiet        -1 Rope Segment [destroyed]
               Fremea      -1 Arrow

               * Kiet - Rope was destroyed by A'kril's fire.

        GM: Let me know of actions at this point.  Post combat clean
            up.  Stuff before the castle would be further explored.
            Unless of course you guys choose to retreat? Had to
            ask.  So far no more reinforcements have arrived so maybe
            this is it.  When you search the bodies you find 2 are
            still alive but wounded - knocked out.  The other two that
            were Knocked out or Asleep died from their wounds.  The
            other 18 enemy are dead.  I will do a supplement update
            on Wednesday to show mana statue.  I believe 2 people
            at this point are tapped out for mana.  I figure the map
            isn't needed at this point.  But as exploration goes will
            include map segments.
