[Recap]
From Chris: [Re: Reactions]
<If Ben&'Dar hears the details of this battle, he will revise
his thinking about Fremea. He finds this just...disturbing:
GM: Ack. Not sure if she tells anyone. That's up to her.
Arawn won't even know what she did. It was ok, by her,
to post it so I did. Think of it this way. If Tef'wo
were slain and given to some dogs to be eaten I think
you'd get revenge in a painful and slow way as well?
---------------------
From Fremea: [Re: Battle tactics]
Nobody will get to hear this. It was added only for flavor that
there is something more to Fremea than what she appears to be.:)
GM: Ack. Figured. :)

[New Stuff]
[Apris 6th, 1634TH. 9th Day of Adventure #4.
[Location: High Elder's domain - Citadel, Dark Lands, Forest]
GM: Unali's IBT actions...
[During the trip back to the Citadel, Unali asks Arawn to
also give her pointers and teach her sword use. She knows
other weapons like the dagger and scimitar well but not the
simple sword. For the next eight days Arawn spends some
time with Unali and teaches her the sword until she gets
the basics down.]
[Apris 7th, Unali is exploring the village and notices a
single patrolmen eyeing her near some shops. He follows
her for some time but she ignores him. From the glare on
his face it doesn't take Unali long to figure out he doesn't
seem to like women with any form of power even if that means
as a self-sufficient warrior. Unali sighs at the male mind
that is common in her land and here it seems. Katai men
believe the man should be in charge of the home and women
serve the man. Unali continues on her business but eventually
loses sight of the patrolman on his rounds.]
[The first day back in the Citadel Unali heads to the bathhouse
and takes a long soaking bath. Having gotten used to Duke
Aren's estate these little things are important to her. She
washes her dirty and dusty hair and then gets her clothes
repaired and washed as well. A simple chore most in the
party fail to do.]
[Near 11am on the 11th, Unali goes to eat a early lunch in one
tavern and notices a group of four men in the next table.
They seem excited and talking about travelling far for some
quest to gain wealth. From the conversation she hears they
have gone three days from their small village. Some contest
out in the western domains has them interested in the rewards
it may give them. They speak of what they'll buy and do with
the money if they win the contest. They only spend a minute
or two talking about how deadly the contest sounds. Unali
figures these contests must go on frequently. A way to level
the playing field for apprentices so no single domain has
a surplus of apprentices and common folk. It isn't unlike
Katai who has considered limits on family size and turned
a blind eye to disease for population control. A land like
Katai is overgrown with peasants.]
[Near 10am on the 13th, Unali notices a group of 3 near the lake
district demonstrating their spells. One appears to be a master
and two apprentices or would be apprentices. Based on their
dress and colors they seem to be Chaos oriented. She watches
as the master demonstrates a spell he calls Critical Strike.
In doing so he releases a poor adult male from a trance like
state and the human goes into a fighting stance. The master
then casts the critical strike spell. The human standing
in chainmail in a hand to hand fighting stance waits. The
chaos master studies the man for a few seconds then nods.
With one quick swift kick the master kicks the slave in the
chest where he learned the armor is weak. The slave goes
flying backwards. Soon after the group examines the armor
and finds the chain in that area unbinding and coming
apart where the chain was the most weakest. But it would
not have been seen without the spell. The master demonstrates
it can be used on magical armor and beasts with powerful
defenses. Unali listens and watches and realizes the spell
could be quite useful for magic users.]
[The last few days before the meeting Unali isn't seen much by
the party in passing. It isn't clear if she goes into the
forest or into some building. But she is only seen at night
those few days.]
Actions? Comments?
Next Update...Friday.
GM: I'm 6/9ths done with the IBT actions. Next in the queue is
Z'leyra. While her IBT is small the character sheet usually
takes 2-4 days to update. So that'll be the bulk of the time
and only a day for IBT actions. Arawn if you want to settle
your actions you have about a week. I'll likely scan your
stuff this weekend. Send comments/questions then. Do
we have any takers to teach Tongue of Sidh to Raban? It
might be sacred to some (Sidh) or not. So I don't want
to just "give" it away. Arawn looks like with schedule issues
won't have time to work on Z'leyra's IBT till at least 9
days. So you will be moved up in the Queue. If you can get
the final results it done if you have any changes. If none
then I'll process it asap. Thanks.

Slot 10-12?: Chion - Multiple if no one else learns any?
Slots left: 1
Note: Remember this is STARTING ELs. So not max. But
its a start. Slot 12 is still empty. Sign up or Chion
can take that with a particular request? There will be
more time during the adventure.
*** ONE SLOT LEFT ***
*** Raban wants to learn Tongue of Sidh. Since it is
supernatural that tends to be a bit more Sacred like.
If someone wants to teach him that I'll put him in for
slot #12. If so let me know. I figure some may not
want supernatural tongues revealed much less given out freely.
So its optional.
