[New Stuff]
[Augado 10th, 1634TH]
[Location: Middle Katai Plains]
[ Mountains west of Pamau]
[Time: 1:25:29 pm - Turn 3: Phase 1]
Fremea reloads her Elven Bow and fires another fast arrow
at Vong #13 which hasn't been wounded so far. The arrow hits
him in the lower left leg doing massive 18 point blow which
pierces bone, tissue and forces the Vong to roll back down the
pit from the wound.
Strie'bog fires his own bow at Vong #5 fighting Farseeker.
The arrow goes wild to the ground a foot behind the man.
Will decides to throw another one of his spare throwing daggers.
the insubstantial dagger flies away from Will and becomes solid
once it leaves his field of magic. Vong #7 is few feet away and
the dagger hits him squarely in the head. but it is in the
section above his brain case which is raised like a high bone
area. Since it is mostly bone there the dagger only does 2 points
of damage.
Raban does one final slap to the Shaper's head and crushes her
cheekbones. The Shaper fells limp to the ground. Raban looks
down to the blood on his hands and the sad state of the limp
female. He feels bad for the creature but given enough time she
would kill all female humans if she could.
Unali rounds the corner and heads south toward the Vong to help
Kell and Z'leyra. She is now about 20 feet to them.
Farseeker thrusts at Vong #5 hitting him in the left middle
chest doing 11 points. The Vong staggers a bit backwards from
the three blows from his great sword.
For a large man with a heavy frame, Chion leaps off the ground
to swipe at one of the flying creatures. The special dagger
slices the creature from head to leg killing the creature
instantly.
Ben'dar takes a breath and glances around. Across the area
he can see Kell and Z'leyra fighting. But they seem too far
away to help fast. Glancing back he spots Strie'bog and the
Vong door. It seems secure but who knows who could come
through it. After all the party has been fighting for only 20
or so seconds. Ben'dar pulls up his spear and charges Vong #5
fighting Farseeker. Ben'dar's magical spear impales the Vong
in the lower left doing the final damage to kill the Vong.
Arawn studies the man nearby and tries to figure out what his
chance of interacting with him. He is clearly a prisoner based
on his soiled clothing. Arawn uses his Elvish Empathy to try
to determine the man's emotional state and intent. But it seems
oddly unclear at this state. It doesn't take a Elf to figure
out what he is probably certain to do or thinking. Even a Troll
could probably figure out that the man is cautious, alert and
wary. Arawn is unsure if the man is intent to help himself
or the others. Arawn is also unclear if the man regards the
Alfar standing in front of him as friend or foe.
Arawn finally speaks up, "I'm here to help," he replies to the
man. keeping one eye on the man as he studied the people in the
cells and strung up on the Embrace of Pain. "Do you know-."
Kell crouches just as Vong #11's amphistaff tried to hit him
seconds earlier. In this chance he thrusts forward with his
magical spear and impales the Vong center chest doing far more
than the amount to finally kill him.
Captain Lin remains unconscious at the feet of Caladan.
Vong #7 realizes he can't fight the vile Will so charges at
Kell. Stepping over the dead comrade at his feet he thrusts
his amphistaff at Kell hitting him in the lower right abdomen
doing 4 points of damage.
Vong #6 swings at Z'leyra but fails to strike her at all.
The other two Vong in the pit try to scramble. One on his
feet fails to grip onto the rock as it slides away from his
hand and he can't get braced to climb up and out. The other
Vong which Fremea just broke his leg can't get to his feet
so shouts some Vong curses at the Mist where Fremea is.
Finally brain cells seem to kick in. Two Vong exit onto
the ladders of the perches on each side of the pit cave.
One climbs down and peers around the corner to the north
where Farseeker is standing. On the west end the second
Vong stands on the land and gets finally a better view of
what is going on with the battle where Z'leyra is fighting.
Z'leyra swings with her magical staff hitting the Vong #6
in the left side doing 11 points of damage to him.
Caladan takes a swing with his war staff at the last flying
creature but fails to hit him.
Kiet looks at the being in the Vong cell and looks at Zhou.
He nods to Zhou that this has to be dealt with. But for now
there are a couple other rooms. Kiet urges Zhou forward knowing
that there is little to do here. Kiet and Zhou rush to the
next cell to the west. Peering inside there are 3 humans who seem
to be in their lower 20s maybe high teens. This leads the one
area to the right or west to explore.
The Voxyen again tries to bite at Z'leyra but fails to make
physical contact.
The last flying creature dives toward Chion but fails to
make contact with his claws.
The male standing in front of Arawn regards him and his comment.
As the Alfar speaks the man looks to the right briefly and then
back at the nicely dressed and well armed person in front of him.
-----------------------
[Time: 1:25:33 pm - Turn 3: Phase 2]
Fremea fires on Vong #9 trying to scale the pit edge. The
arrow does hit him in the back but fails to penetrate his
tough crab armor.
Will throws two more daggers from his sack of spares at Vong
#6 fighting Z'leyra. But both fail to hit and land near Z'leyra's
feet.
Raban turns around and notices the new Vong #17 climbing down
the ladder from the west perch. He leaps and flies toward the
ladder and lands with some grace at the base of the ladder. He
grabs the Vong and throws him to the ground.
Unali charges south and ends up behind Kell and besides
Z'leyra. She thrusts at Vong #6 with both of her daggers.
The magical dagger fails to hit but the regular one does
hit him in the right middle chest dong the final damage to
kill that warrior.
Farseeker yells to Strie'bog and Ben'dar to guard the Vong
entrance. Then charges south toward the new Vong that came
out of the perch area.
Chion swings at the last flying creature but fails to hit it.
Ben'dar growls at Farseeker but realizes the door is vulnerable.
If more the cave they could warn reinforcements. He heads back
to the north wall to guard the door.
Arawn notices a slight chance to his aura as he continues to
speak to the man. He realizes the Armor spell has just ended.
Now he is a bit weaker if the Vong attack but that is not likely
to happen. At least the human is in no danger to him since
he has no weapon that Arawn can see. Arawn finishes his comment
to the man, "- how to safely free them?"
Kell stabs Vong #7 hitting him in a light wound doing 1 point
to his left lower chest.
Vong #13 again tries to climb out of the pit but again the
dirt and rocks are too lose and high. He slips back down the
edge.
Vong #9 notices the Vong carrion bugs getting closer and suddenly
pounce on him. The warrior begins to swipe his hands at the
carnivorous bugs and is swarmed. in Seconds the bugs finish off
the Vong.
Vong #7 swipes at Kell but fails to make contact with him.
Z'leyra turns toward the snarling Voxyen and bashed down with
her staff hitting the dog-beast in the back. The damage done
is severe and kills the creature instantly.
The human regards Arawn with a raises quick eyebrow and then
looks to the Embrace of Pain torture devices. Suddenly behind
him a large man with a scarred and battered hands and face
joins him to the left. The man stands about 6 feet 3 and well
muscled. Then another male then another. Finally the first
man stands with four men blocking the way out of this area
all staring at Arawn. While Arawn can defend himself well he
might not be able to handle these many men though all are it
seems not armed. The "door" to the cell area in the north is
as seen earlier was a simple threshold with no door or rail
like the cells here. So the prisoners just walked out. They
must've gotten their courage once the Vong left?
One man says, "Peace brigader! Kill him!" The men look at the
well dressed and armed man and all look annoyed.
