      [Recap]

        From Kiet: [Re: Actions]
          Kiet would have left the javelins and his Tulwar.  The
          daggers remain.   Knowing full well he isn't defenseless...
        GM: Ack. Thanks for honesty.  Assume keep shield.

        From Z'leyra: [Re: Actions]
          Z'leyra would have kept her staff but put both her sword and
          greatsword in the box.
        GM: Ack.

        From Alex: [Re: Joke]
          Hi,
          Was just on with Scott and he was talking about how his fan
          was going out on his computer. Then he said he smelled smoke
          and went offline. Hopefully it won't be a big problem.
        GM: Ack. Not one word posted or asked or worry/concern.  Geesh.
            You'd think it was like they don't care. :<  I did warn
            about the fan and still need to replace it.  Geesh.

      [New Stuff]

          [Octagi 5th, 1634TH]
          [Location: Plains, Donara]

          [Time: 7:28:00 pm - Donara City]

            Inside the Mordara tunnel.  Varange looks back and glares.
          "Just remove that silly dress.  Be yourself.  That is
          the problem with our people too docile.  Too scared.  We
          are to be greater than this."

            Fremea may not agree totally but she does remove her dress.
          No need to block her movement if things go well.  Varange
          smiles as Fremea places the dress in her bag.

            "See it shows your figure nicely without that thing."
          The Lord Marshall then turns to the darkness and shines his
          lantern.

            Fremea adjusts her weapons and ensures her bow and quiver
          are at hand now.  She then joins Varange to walk nearby but
          a bit slightly behind a foot or two.

            Varange begins to walk down the tunnel.  "The Elves seemed
          to have found this place or carved it out.  To be honest I'm
          not sure which.  But they were clever locking the final piece
          here.  They used magic to block the entrance back behind us.
          No non-Elf can really enter."  He turns and grins at Fremea.
          "That is why I needed the Kotothi mage's help.  It seems they
          had a item that could bypass that magic.  But it was surrounded
          and protected in their village.  It'd have taken a small army
          to take the people there and the guardians.  While I have power
          to do so it...would've lead to questions I'm not ready to answer."

            Fremea scans the darkness around and doesn't see much of a aura
          other than normal stone.  It is probably only the entrance that
          is enchanted.  But there is no telling how deep this tunnel is
          maybe miles underground among a maze of other tunnels.  She
          figures the coin that teleported her here in the coin bag.  Se
          glances down and sees no aura meaning probably the magic is gone.
          So it will be a bit hard to leave without some effort.

            "He got it for me.  Yeah I used him.  So what.  I suspect
          your friends will be dealing with him now."  He stops again
          and grins.  "He learned that the first meeting was at the other
          tavern and attacked the owner with some animals.  To learn
          some information about the meeting.  I'm amazed she lived.
          But he is a smart mage and only needed to hire someone to
          follow that big oaf friend of yours.  Not many in the city
          if at all.  A blind man could find him in a crowd."

            Varange listens and waits a few seconds.  "That whole fake
          illusion was very very clever.  That Elf friend of yours I
          will have to study.  He seems...unusual some how.  Almost as
          smart as me...almost.  The fake cave and falling to the ground
          was clever.  But I already knew the piece was here."  He stops
          and looks Fremea in the eye.

            "The painting didn't gleam the last piece to you?"  Fremea
          remains stone faced.  "Interesting.  I have a theory the artist
          was linked to the Fae mark like us.  But I can't prove it now.
          When you first touched it in the admiral's place I was just
          hanging around ..."  He laughs.  "Above you guys on the
          ceiling and the vision was just fine.  Then the second one
          was a bit easier.  Thanks for your help. "

            He glares at the lantern.  "But this last one they were clever.
          Redundant in some ways.  I'd have left this human infested city
          long ago if I didn't need you."  He sounds very frustrated which
          makes Fremea smile slightly.

          [Time: 7:33:00 pm - Donara City]


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

          [Time: 7:28:00 pm - Donara City]
          [Phase 1]

            Arawn allocates mana for a quick spell. Arawn keeps an eye
          out on the tilted box on the table that has spilled most of its
          content.  But he raises both hands and speaks the magical words.
          Wind begins to magically shoot from his hands toward the swarm
          of flying insects around the boy.  Using his fingers he cups the
          hand a bit and tries to slam the wind down at an angle to slam
          the bugs to the ground.  The bugs are small but it seems the spell
          has worked but it is unclear.

            Kiet eyes the apes but they are over a hundred feet so he waits
          for the distance to close.

            Corona sees the wolf growl and the dogs nearby.  He knows canines
          growl often as their nature.  But that tends to be one or two.
          Not 5 of the dogs.  This is different and then the man slinking
          around in the darkness.  Corona decides this is a hostile thing.
          He takes to the air then dives toward one dog.  He fires his magical
          eye blasts at the dog but it impacts on the ground near the mutt.

            Four of the dogs on some unseen gesture or command lunge forward.
          They charge Will and the Wolf.  Three of the dogs bite at the wolf
          and two make contact biting for 2 and 3 points.  The other two
          dogs move around and heading toward Will.

            Squirt now awake hisses at the dogs.  This is a creature that
          can handle snakes and dangerous beasts.  It runs and leaps off
          the table and tries to bite one of the dogs.  But in the fast
          leap the dog dodges slightly and Squirt misses.

            Raban glances back and sees the bugs may have been dealt with.
          But the patrons seem to be in chaos and scrambling.  There are
          scorpions and snakes but those can be avoided.  Raban moves forward
          and yells.  "Everyone out if you can make it!"

            Unali stares at one of the long asps and studies its movement.
          She draws both daggers and lunges.  She stabs the snake killing it.

            Arawn draws his shield up and moves around the table toward the
          boy and hears the scream from the kitchen.

            Kell looks around and knows his big weapons are in the box.  It
          would take some time to get.  But he isn't harmless without them.
          The big threat seems to be the apes.  He draws his shield and charges
          in that direction.

            The Apes move forward southward toward a table with 3 patrons.
          The patrons quickly duck under the table in fright.  The apes end
          up near to the stage looking around.

            Z'leyra sees another snake crawl toward her.  The long staff in
          her hand bashes the snake enough to kill it.

            Kiet eyes the apes trying to determine their targets.  He notices
          the city guard standing and drawing his sword.  Looking down he sees
          a swarm of crawling scorpions near his plate.  He bashes them with
          a mug of ale.  Hate to waste ale but he hasn't finished eating the
          good meal yet.  Two of the scorpions scamper away and are lost from
          sight.

            A man emerges from the stairs dressed in some leather woodsman
          style clothing like Will wears.  He has some tattoos and is holding
          a spiked club.  He eyes the room and walks forward watching the
          apes.

            Etain backs away from the table.  He looks inside the box and
          finds it now empty.  He scans the table and ground.  Looks like
          there are two more snakes under the table.  But he moves away s
          and toward the boy to help him up.  By now the bugs have left the
          boy due to the wind spell.

            Outside the man who led the dogs rounds the corner.  In the
          shadow is it hard to see but the man is tall and wearing green
          and brown leathers.  Some sort of bone earring dangles form his
          left ear. He is also holding a spiked club.  He calmly walks
          toward Will.

            Another man emerges from the stairs and joins the first man
          also looking the same with another spiked club.

            Will eyes the man moving around the corner.  But his wolf is
          being hurt so moves toward the dogs.  He draws his tulwar and
          attacks one of the dogs.  The tulwar stabs the dog in the left
          shoulder deep killing the dog.

            Another spiked club holding tattooed man emerges from the
          stairs and joins the other 2.

            One of the snakes moves away from the player tables toward
          other tables.  Another approaches behind Kiet and lunges.
          It tries to bite  his leg but the strike is low and hits the
          thick hide of his boot not penetrating.

            Now the patrons all scream, duck, dodge or sit in shock.
          One by the window yells, "animals outside!"

            A second later the city guard realizes the front may be a bad
          idea to flee out.  So yells, "behind the bar and hide!"  The city
          guard moves north to meet the spike clubbsers.


          [Time: 7:28:04 pm - Donara City]
          [Phase 2]

            Moving forward Arawn reaches a few feet closer to the swarm
          of bugs.  Thrusting downward he tries to slam the wind down
          and the bugs onto the floor.  The crushing damage seems to
          stun or kill most of them.

            Corona tries to blast another dog but fails to hit him.

            Squirt lunges and bites one of the legs of the dogs doing
          3 points of damage.

            Two of the dogs attack the wolf but fail. One dog tries to
          attack Squirt but he is too agile. Two dogs attack Will.  One
          bites Will but his leathers protect him.

            Raban continues to move toward the apes past tables and patrons.

            Unali sees one snake moving toward a table with patrons and
          stabs it killing it.

            Arawn looks to see Etain helping he boy.  With the boys looking
          dead or stunned he turns and runs toward the bar to find that
          source of woman's cream.

            Kell jogs behind Raban to help him.

            All three apes see Raban and charge.  All using hands only with
          no other weapons.  They all try to claw and bite but Raban is
          able to deflect with his gauntlets any attacks.

            Z'leyra realizes Raban may need help and charges forward to help.

            Kiet sees the snake and pulls a rope off his belt.  It was already
          tied with a noose.  He easily tosses the rope around the snake who
          is a foot off ground trying to prepare for strike.  Kiet pulls the
          rope and tightens it around the snake.  With his other hand 
he reaches
          for the box on the table and covers the snake with it to prevent it
          from moving.  He smiles.  Never know when one needs to use a snake as
          a weapon.  If the Vong can maybe a roped snake could be as well.  If
          only the apes were closer.  But they are still 80 or so feet away.

            The first tattooed man moves toward one customer trying to move
          away but the customer has some distance and head start.

            Etain scans the table, "table clear!"  He yells to the others to
          warn them no more critters.  He then moves the boy toward the bar
          to hide with the others.

            Outside the man sees one dog die and barks a few commands then
          stands to watch his dogs finish the wolf and man.

            Will stabs another dog wounding him but not killing him.

            The patrons seem to get confident when Raban attacks the
          apes and rushes away from their tables toward the bar.  The
          city guard rushes to help the large giant while keeping an
          eye on the 3 spike club wielders.

          Actions?  Comments?

          Next update...Friday??

          GM: A bit smaller update than I figured.  Still mainly getting
              folks closer together since distance is involved.  So may
              take a few phases before real fights start. Table seems clear
              of bad animals.  Just leaves the 3 spike club guys (we'll call
              them Spikers) and 3 apes inside.  Plus the dogs and man
              outside.  That was a quick 2 phases.  I wonder if I should
              do 4 or 4?  Once all the patrons (P) on map are behind the bar
              I'll clear the map.  I'll remove the chairs/tables and make
              it a bit easier to read.  But for now I have it as is for
              logistics.

              Though I can read the map easily I know some have trouble.
              So if you want to go after Apes say so.  If the Spikers
              say so.  If to help the patrons get to safety then say so.
              If go outside then do so.

              All 3 apes engaged with Raban.  But the Spikers seem to
              moving toward a group of 4 patrons only 20-30 feet away.
              The party is maybe twice that distance.

          GM: Arawn - Will assume you continue toward the room behind the
                bar to check the female.  Will take a phase to reach the
                bar then hop over and then another to enter the kitchen.

              Fremea - Free to do actions but I'm doing it in pieces
                adding more to the story as updates go along.  So for
                now will assume just look annoyed and listen/observe.

              Kiet - The snake thing was pure random fun.  Random target
                 and I figure you have ropes and the box is there.  So
                 why not capture one.  :)  Instead of a bola maybe a
                 snake could be thrown?  But do you still want to close
                 in to use the rings on the apes or the three men
                 creeping through the place.  Would need to more closer
                 to get within range.

              All others can post actions if need.  Else will choose
              targets as needed (ape/humans) at random.  Or other
              actions if patrons need help.
