[New Stuff]
[Augado 10th, 1634TH]
[Location: Middle Katai Plains]
[ Mountains west of Pamau]
[Time: 9:20am]
The party moves cautiously down the slope of he hill toward
the thick forest below. Farseeker has made his comment on the
Shadow beast found in the Climan Cloud Base. Unali considers
the words and then glances at the mountain.
Unali adds to the topic, "You may lament the loss of the
prisoners, but had that rock shadow beast not been there, I am
certain you would be mourning the loss of many friends. It helped
us out, after Xian befriended it. I wish there would be another
one living in this mountain. I am sure the Vong would be in major
trouble then."
Farseeker huffs, "we'd also be in trouble. That thing just
gave me the creeps. Xian can befriend a rock if it doesn't
kill him outright. He is a bit too soft in that regard. Sure,
the shadow creature was fighting to save his home from the
Climans destroying the young eggs. Which I never understood
how a formless creature could have eggs. But I'm no scholar
so I just let those big questions to the heavy thinkers."
----------------------------
[Time: 9:24am]
The horses are tied to trees and a thick area is found that
gives, hopefully, sufficient cover from above and from the
ground level.
Unali gathers folks around, "OK, let's make some plans to get
inside there. We are all eager to rush to the steep slope and
start climbing I guess. But a better idea of any entrances would
be nice. Fremea, did you see any possible caves or anything when
looking over the mountain?"
"Anyone any ideas. We could fly to the top, but I am not sure
how many alarms we would set off that way."
Farseeker nods, "we need a full view of this mountain. I think
first thing is to have Fremea fly from around the valley. I
would suggest each peak around. Then using her spyglass to
study the mountain. Report back her findings. We need to find
out any caves and the like. If possible a overview also would
be good if she can fly high enough to avoid detection. But
being on each peak should be a mile or so away for any possible
detections."
As others begin to consider their options, Arawn gathers
a few items from his bag. He finds a open area devoid of grass
and begins to gather the soil. It seems less sandy and more
fine powder so he figures it to be the ash. He rubs it in
his fingers and it is indeed finer than the ash itself. But
it looks like any typical ash found after fire or Caladan's
fireball hitting a man in feathers and oil. At first glance
there seems nothing remotely special about the ash top soil.
He gathers a few samples of it nonetheless.
Arawn packs the samples in his bag and walks to Tef'wo and
the other horses. He begins to talk to them in their own
language. Making those funny human noises. It just isn't made
for humans or Alfar to talk horse. The vocal cords aren't designed
to make those funny neighs and grunts. But the sound is enough
to get a rough translation. Z'leyra hears and understands.
Seems that Arawn is interested in the horse's nervous nature.
But the horses complain about the wet and cold rain. Most
horses are covered with blankets when riding. But the storm
came so quickly there was no time. Almost all the horses complain
of that. But as they also see the valley they also are eager
to get to the apples to eat. Most haven't had apples in some
time.
But Tef'wo gives quick curt answers. Arawn tries to pull out
more details but the horses only eats a fallen apple. Arawn
is drawn back to the group to discuss plans.
Arawn scans the trees for birds or even an eagle to talk to
but they seem to be scared away by the party hiding from the
horses and people or just hiding to get out of the rain.
Actions? Comments?
Next Update...Monday....
GM: A very short update. This is how it will be done for
awhile until plans are formed. I did get from Arawn
and Unali but in private so not posted to website. Just
parts mentioned above. I know some are working on plans
in private conversations or such. So its just a matter
of getting the ideas out.
GM: Generic map of area in rough form.
/I\ = North
1 Row = Half a mile [around 2640 feet]
1 Column = Almost 1/10th mile [Around 410 feet each column]
4 Miles by 4 miles

X = Rising Mount [D24] - 1,000 feet high, 1,000 feet wide
1 = Mountain [H37] - 10,000 feet high
2 = Mountain [H22] - 8,700 feet high
3 = Mountain [H9 ] - 5,600 feet high
4 = Mountain [C42] - 8,000 feet high
5 = Mountain [F1 ] - 6,900 feet high
6 = Mountain [C1 ] - 6,400 feet high
7 = Mountain [b32] - 8,450 feet high
% = Forested area major tree area
P = Party place [F18] Forest ground
Party is now about 2,000 odd feet to the Rising
Mount inside the forest. Can move deeper if needed.
Party is about 500 feet from edge of clearing at this
point.
All heights are estimates.
