[Recap]
From Arawn: [Re: Actions]
"More or less. Though there's far more to it than....
OOC: If Kell wants to know more about the spell Arawn will
go over the Ball Powers spells with him during camp.
When the admiral called him to stop as he moved back...
"Stop? Stop what? Praying?," he said, knowing he had ...
Hippogriff Combat:
With Z'leyra and Pyan close by one pack horse Arawn moved
closer to Kiet, adding his presence to help guard the other
pack animals (#'s 1 and 3, Arawn hoping to make it to N5).
Range - As long as the hippogriffs remain at a distance
Arawn will cast the Multiple Arrow spell (using the Sidh
Tongue) and then use his Elven Bow and Elf-Shot arrows, as
long as doing so will not put anyone/thing in the party at
risk of being crushed under a falling hippogriff.
Close Range/Melee - If the hippogriffs move in close but
remain in the air, where they would put the party at risk of
being crushed by a falling dead hippogriff, then Arawn will
resort to casting Transmutation (EL will be whatever is needed
to match Distance to hippogriff, cast in Sidh Tongue) and turn
the hippogriff's into snails.
If the hippogriffs land and enter melee range Arawn will
attempt to use his Buckler and Elvish Sword and attempt to
keep the horses safe.
GM: Ack.
From Kiet: [Re: Actions]
Spear Chucker Sunan!
Eewwwww....it's gonna take a while to clean that javelin.
Didn't know Kiet had it in him...
GM: Ack. Even a small guy can be a mighty he-man. :)
From Kiet: [Re: Actions]
I figured it was something like that...had to be deadly hit
with that many damage points.
GM: Ack. Yep. Though for some with those magical weapons a normal
hit can do massive. But I think your roll and one other
was a negative # so good rolls.
From Z'leyra: [Re: Actions]
If the hippogriffs can be hit with her sword Z'leyra will
do so. If not, she will use the firestone in her helmet to
cast a fire dart at the most dangerous one to the party that
is in range.
GM: Ack.
From Z'leyra: [Re: Actions]
After the fight is over Z'leyra, (absent desperate life
saving measures needed) will lead folks in an impromptu 'how
to sew up wounds' class so that the magical healing that
follows will have maximum effect.
[Note that this might not happen if someone casts an area
healing spell first. Which would be fine also.]
GM: Ack. If I forget and no time this update remind me.
From Zabyra: [Re: Actions]
Noting that these creatures have the ability to carry away
their prey, Zabyra switches to a defensive stance, using all
of the skills at her disposal to ward off attack. Should a
hippogriff get within striking range, she will attack.
GM: Ack.

[New Stuff]
[Western Marentia - Hills]
[Novehas 17th, 1634TH]
[Time: 9:45 am]
After the bandit combat, Kell asks about the spell Arawn used.
Kell just claims its a big magical ball.
"More or less. Though there's far more to it than that,"
Arawn said, grinning in a bemused manner in response to Kell's
summarization.
Kell shrugs, "that spell could be useful in a game of marbles
if one were...too...cheat."
[Time: 9:57 am]
Arawn begins to treat the tortured bandit but the admiral
stops him by her cold words.
When the admiral called him to stop as he moved back to
the bandit he looked at her dispassionately.
"Stop? Stop what? Praying?," he said, knowing he had
not indicated to her his choice of action. He of course
concluded she assumed he would perform some healing on the
man, though she had not stopped his earlier effort to bandage
the man's wounds.
The Alfar looked into her eyes, not challenging but coolly
thoughtful in his expression.
"But whatever it was that I would have done, mundane or
magical, I will refrain from at your request while accepting
your offer. I would seek to be true to myself while keeping
your honor and those of your men intact."
He then reached down once again, tending to the man's wounds
as best he could with herb and bandage while within full sight
of the admiral.
The Admiral crosses her arms across her chest, "this man's
fate is sealed. Even if he doesn't help us I'm sure the
Marentian judges will execute him. He is a dead man walking."
She softens a bit and brushes a hand through her hair. "I
understand you are willing to help this man. Given the
chance he'd slit your throat. Clearly you are the better
man. You may bandage him but doing more seems futile. Would
you heal a man full of disease which can't be cured just
to prolong his sorry life for another day?" With that she
walks way to talk to the other survivor.
[Time: 10:24 am]
Arawn glances over his left shoulder and sees the fleeing
beast only 10 feet away. He begins to speak words for
a spell using the Sidh Tongue he casts the spell upon
his bow.
The party leaves the Marentians to tend to the bandits
and find the dead bandits and Bhamotins. As the party
sets off Arawn turns to stare at the wounded bandit and
the other captives.
Arawn notices the wounded Bandit he bandaged seem to
lay down on the road as the others ignore him. Arawn
notices a bit of contentment on his face as if he is
sleeping. Arawn mounts his horse and joins the others
down the road.

[Novehas 20th, 1634TH]
[Time: 9:03:24 am]
[Phase 8]
Pynn reloads his bow and tracks the fleeing creatures in
the north. He only has one good line of sight not wanting
to harm others so aims at Hippogriff #9. The arrow flies and
impacts into the creature's left shoulder doing 5 more points
to the beast.
Cocking his bow Arawn aims at the fleeing beast which
just took Zabyra's turban. The selected Elf Shot arrow
leaves the bow and divides up into 2 more. The first
magical Elf Shot arrow hits doing 9 points of damage but
the magic fails to invoke. The second arrow goes wild
and misses. But the third breaks upon leaving the bow
in a critical failure.
From her horse Unali places her daggers in her belt
sheathes and pulls her bow and quiver close to her. So
she can fire soon.
Corona dives toward Hippo #9 from the skies and fires
his magical fire darts but it goes wild hitting the
ground.
One of the hippogriffs growls and neighs some odd words
to his allies. At once all of the creatures turn around
and dive toward new targets.
Hippogriff #5 turns and rises toward Corona who is showing
his rear. The creature tries to grab onto the bird but
at the last second the snow white bird dives and rolls
making the creature miss.
Creature #9 and #2 dive toward Red Shirt and Reddof. The
first one fails to claw toward Red Shirt as he ducks and
rolls just in time. The other does manage to surprise
Reddof doing a swipe with his claw doing 4 points to his
back neck.
Hippogriff #4 and #8 dive toward Kiet's personal horse.
These beasts seem to have a love for his horses? The
first tries to lift up and gets the energy but the second
one fails and fumbles forcing himself to the ground which
in turn forces the other back down on the ground.
Z'leyra charges forward to help Red Shirt and Reddof.
She swings at the low flying, this time, creature hitting
the beast in the side ribs doing 28 points of damage as it
pierces deep inside killing the beast instantly.
Corona dives under the beast that just attacked him and
does a barrel roll then upwards to gain distance.
Fremea dives herself toward #4 attacking Kiet's horse.
She swipes her sword hitting him in the left wing doing
only 2 points though.
Red Shirt and Reddof twirl at the same time and in the
same motion attack #9 which just tried to attack Red
Shirt. Red Shirt swings but fails to hit his prey.
Reddof though hits the creature in the leg slicing a large
part of it off doing the final damage to kill the beast.
Kell urges his horse forward to help Kiet. He tries to
spear #9 but the creature is too agile and he misses.
Kiet growls and turns around having wanted to help but
it seems they are ok. Now his horse is being attacked
again! He gives a battle cry he heard Ben'dar yell once
and charges at #4 swinging his tulwar. The blade slices
into the left side rib doing 9 points of damage.
[Time: 9:03:27 am]
[Phase 9]
Arawn, Unali and Pyan target beasts but they are just too
close to allies and they could fall on them so do not
fire yet.
Corona flies overhead past Z'leyra and Kiet hoping to lure
the beasts away.
But that is exactly when hippogriff #5 falls for it. The
beast turns toward the eagle. Z'leyra glances up and fires
her firestone that is in her helmet top. The fire dart
lashes out fast and slams into the creature doing 41 points
of damage. The unharmed creature at this point is engulfed
in flame and is killed instantly. The creature starts to
dive toward Kell's horse but Kiet yanks the reign of the
horse jerking him so fast it pulls the horse and Kell
away saving Kell from being slammed by a flaming bulk.
Finally the last 2 creatures get the idea it is time to
flee. They take to the air.
[Time: 9:03:30 am]
[Phase 10]
Arawn, Unali, Pyan now all have great targets of the last
two - #4 and #9. They fire their bows. Arawn and Unali
aim at #4 and Pyan at #9. Arawn hits the beast in the
left shoulder doing 6 points cousing the creature to land
as his wing may be broken. Unali fires but fails to
hit the same creature.
Pyan fires his bow and hits #9 in the lower belly doing the
final damage to kill the beast as he dives and impacts on
the ground.
The last creature tries to limp away starting to trot a bit
but Fremea flies toward and slices the back doing the final
point of damage to kill it.
The party quickly checks the dead creatures and finds one
is still alive but knocked out. He is dispatched quickly.
Actions? Comments?
Next Update....Wednesday?
GM: That was a fun combat. Party did well and worked as
a team. If that second griff got off the ground
Kiet's might've been having a nice night of hippo
on horse action. But 30 seconds and the attack starts
and ends. Things got in way for Friday. So consider
this the Friday update. Sadly it is not enough time
to give you guys react time for Monday. So consider
this the Monday update as well. :< I will work on
the next update Wednesday noon EST. This will include
the experice and aftermath stuff. I work work on it
tonight but Dr Who is coming on and getting tired. :<
So stay tuned for the next update. So if you need to
act/reply this will give you 3 full days to react.
I hope I did all actions as emailed/posted. I
may have forgot or switched something but hope not.
Kell, Red Shirt and Reddof are the only ones hurt
only Light wounds 15-20% damage. Nothing critical.
