      [Recap]

        From Z'leyra: [Re: Actions]
          Z'leyra isn't sure yet which plan to use but mentions
          "Whichever plan we use those who can should use Mind ...
        GM: Ack.

        From Arawn: [Re: Actions]
          Mind Shield

          "Aside from a Mind Shield perhaps a spell of Protection....

          Brain Room and other caves

          "Perhaps we should look to exploring the other caves ....
        GM: Ack.

      --------------------------------------------------------------
      [New Stuff]

          [Augado 10th, 1634TH]
          [Location: Middle Katai Plains]
          [          Mountains west of Pamau]

          [Time: 2:36:00pm - 2:41:00pm]

            While the others healing the cave, Z'leyra considers the
          requests for mental protection.  Seems like this very
          conversation was done when Thig learned his own spells.  Just
          years ago by another person who didn't like others in his
          brain.  Course nothing is fool proof.

            Z'leyra isn't sure yet which plan to use but mentions "Whichever
          plan we use those who can should use Mind Shield or whatever
          other protection they have against the Brain's attacks."

            Farseeker looks to Z'leyra and grins.  He then snaps his
          fingers.  "Ahh.  Much better.  Nice how those things work."
          He taps his brain in sarcasm to the use of mind shield from
          thin air.

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

          [Time: 2:41:00pm - 2:43:00pm]

            While Arawn was doing his healing of the others he also
          considers the options for spells.

            "Aside from a Mind Shield perhaps a spell of Protection might
          prove useful," Arawn said in response to Z'leyra's question. "I
          could also try to negate the attack as it's sent out but I'm
          not sure how that will work with something that's not powered
          through the essence of magic."

            Arawn continues, "Perhaps we should look to exploring the
          other caves first," he suggested. "They might hold prisoners or
          valuable information that we can use to help defeat the brain
          and shout the portal."

            "And when we do engage the brain I'd suggest holding back. It
          might be risky considering the quakes but we might be able to
          collapse the ceiling on the brain and Vong in the chamber.
          Otherwise I'd suggest keeping our distance and using missiles
          and magic from a distance."

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

          [Time: 2:43:00pm - Current]

          Actions? Comments?

          Next Update....Monday...

          GM: See the evil of games?  Was playing Diablo 3 and gave
              most of the chores to my dwarves!  It seems a very smart
              Elf caught the mistake they did.  Stupid dwarves.  the
              time to heal was NOT 19 min but 5 minutes.  Well almost
              5 minutes but will round it to 5. Much faster heal time
              than 19 min.  So no need to do big actions for that
              in between time.  I've beat them and showed them how
              to use the computer's calculator in the future.  Just
              can't buy/force a good staff these days!  I've adjusted
              the time tick marks above.  A short update but can't go
              further till plans are made by group or the leader.  With
              Monday being a holiday I'll be home (probably D3ing all
              day).  So should have a few minutes to do a update.  But
              I suspect many will be out of town.  If so I guess there
              will be no posts for me to work on a update. :)

              Kell also mentioned a plan using the elementals to attack
              the brain via the wall.  I can't recall now if that was
              private email or public.  He doesn't post as often as used to.
              But I wanted to remind of that plan.  Guess it would fall
              down to plan 4 below.

          GM: Chion! I got your email.  It was back in 1/12 when we got
              the last one.  After couple months I had no choice but
              to make the character npc again.  But I can't keep doing
              this back and forth pc and npc.  Its not fair to do dialogue
              and actions/spells as a pc that you might not approve.  Plus
              it is unfair to the others.  So please decide if you will
              be posting more than once every 5 months to at least react
              so I can make him PC or NPC.  Not being mean here just
              need to ask so I can resolve Chion as a character.  Thanks.
              In fact due to your email I'll remove your vote which was
              NPC from the below list.

              Two people posted but didn't post their plan choices.  At
              least a 3rd sent chat comments but same thing.  We could
              be half way done with the plan by now.  But I will stall
              and play D3 till plan is formed. :)

          GM: Plans made:

              1- Unali first attack, others join in later
              2- All as a group attack at once via entrance
              3- Teleport inside the cave and fight as one
              4- Other

              Raban    - 1         Fremea  - No Vote
              Caladan  - 2         Kell    - No Vote
              Ben'dar  - 2         Kiet    - No Vote
              Farseker - 2         Unali   - No Vote
              Lin      - 2         Will    - No Vote
              Chion    - No Vote   Z'leyra - No Vote

              1: 1   2: 4   3: -   No Vote: 7
              Majority is 7 though Unali can decide any time to end the
              voting. If no majority next highest group will win.

          GM: Spells active

              Will    -   Armor Transmutation

              * = Soon to end (next update?].  I may NOT post this
              info unless I remember to do so. :)
