[Recap]
From Kiet: [Re: Actions]
Kiet listens to Reddof, and is mildly amused by the comment.
It does provide solid information about Reddof, that he is
uninitiated. Kiet answers him "They aren't trophies." ....
GM: Ack.
From David: [Re: Healing Mist]
Well, the spell affects only one person if cast at normal
cost. If cast double, it can affect multiple recipients AND
they don't go comatose. I would think in that case it continues
until they all heal completely...there didn't seem to me to be
any language about it stopping when the first person is healed.
Seems like a very inexpensive spell for the benefit....
GM: Ack. Thanks for opinion it counts. I'll see what others
think on it. When we did these v2 spells there were
some holes so this may be a mior one.
------------------------------------------------------------
[New Stuff]
[Western Marentia - Hills]
[Novehas 20th, 1634TH]
[Time: 9:45 am]
Reddof comments on the taking of feathers and hairs
as trophies.
Kiet listens to Reddof, and is mildly amused by the
comment. It does provide solid information about Reddof,
that he is uninitiated. Kiet answers him. "They aren't
trophies." He straightens up and continues. "it's for magic
purposes in the future. You see, there are laws to magic.
One of the laws is that 'trophies' will retain attributes of
the whole. Such samples could be used for many purposes, even
to help you fly...or allow a magic user to turn you into a
hippogriff!" Kiet just smiles at Reddof.
Reddof looks confused but nods. "I don't know this magic
stuff but next you'll tell me giants can fly." He turns
and heads to mount up on his horse.

[Western Marentia - Hills]
[Novehas 22nd, 1634TH]
[Time: 6:37 pm]
[Time: 8:15 pm]
Kiet asks Kell and Pyan to head to his room. The dancer
---------------
[Western Marentia - Malnon City]
[Novehas 23rd, 1634TH]
[Time: 6:15 am]
The group finish breakfast and head to the barn. They
meet the stable boy and guard already at work preparing
the saddles and horse blankets.
Kell gets near Z'leyra and Unali and speaks in low tones
so the boy and guard don't hear but the party who is nearby
can do so. "I was at a shop that seemed...shady. I assume
it was a black market shop though it sells glassware and
vases. " He notices Kiet raise an eye. "I like vases and
these are decorated nicely. Anyways I overheard two guys
talking about the smuggling in the city. They metioned
a name that seemed familiar. It sounded like Balrog?" The
trader glances at Z'leyra and Unali. "Didn't you two guys
know him? Could he be helping or hindering in this smuggling
operations? Though to be honest I think it was a setup.
Seemed to be too easy to share that info like they may have
been undercover spies rooting out folks. Unless there is
more than one Balrog in Marentia?"
[Time: 6:27 am]
The party finally gets to the north west gate and depart.
Guards ask the general destination of the group. They
comment, "once at the border heed their warnings and
advice. Thaliba can be a dangerous place."
The day starts out well with not a cloud at all day
nothing but bright sun. But the temperature ranges from 50-65
degrees so its not extreme cold.
[Time: 9:31 am]
Five miles outside the city about 2 miles outside the
city margins reveal farms and occasional cottages. As
the party rides n the road they notice a large group to
the south off the road. It is about 500 feet south
off the road. There must be 4 dozen people. They seem
to be shouting and yelling. Due to the cool weather the
sounds follow on the plains. The party soon realizes
it is two groups. It seems 35-40 folks on one side against
4-5 others on the other side. The smaller group is
in front of a old one floor structure about the size
of a barn.
Then the party notice there are about 8 guards in Marentian
military uniforms among the crowd. They seem to be milling
about hands on swords as if wary of a riot.
The large crowd is shouting at the smaller one about they
need to leave and leave the area. The smaller group shouts
out, "Moloch will Damn you all!"
Then Arawn notices a man in vestments he recognizes as Ashur
speak and talking to the crowd that this evil needs to be
taken care of. The priest seems to chanting and performing
some ceremony to sway the small crowd to leave or something.
Then the small crowd begins to yell and move forward drawing
clubs and small knives. This is when the guards rush forward
and two each take on the small crowd. They quickly subdue
the group and throw them to the ground.
It is clear Arawn is eager to rush in and help but he can
feel Z'leyra's gaze knowing this is not their concern and
time is going by. The guards bind the small group and
haul them into the small structure while 2 stand guards
telling the crowd to disperse.
That's when Z'leyra figures it is time to move on.
Later Kell asks Arawn, "what was that about? Who
is Moloch some warlord?"
[Time: 7:48 pm]
That night at camp off the road the party notices two deer
pass very close by the campsite. One is a large female adult
with a male younger deer. They watch the party for some time
in the darkness then scamper off.
Pyan looks eager to hunt the deer but he notices the group
does not seem inclined to do so. He knows it would be
a great reward of the deer but he decides he needs to keep
these people friends. Even if Kiet seems to be talking
to him more saying the odd jokes - though with his lack
of fluency it seems he mixes the punch lines up.
---------------
[Western Marentia - Plains]
[Novehas 24th, 1634TH]
[Time: 6:23 am]
The party breaks camp and heads out. According to the city
map they should reach a roadside in by nightfall if they
move fast.
The day sees thick clouds roll in all day making it a cloudy
warm day. The temperature seems to increase to even warm
degrees of 80 at the noon hour. But the lowest temperature
is around 61 for the day. So the warm winter clothing is
taken off for most of the riding.
[Time: 9:10 am]
Suddenly a drizzle begins that lasts about 20 minutes. It
drenches the horses and party creating a bit of sloppy
roadway. At one point even a bit of hail falls but it
only last about 20 seconds or so before stopping.
[Time: 6:38 pm]
Though it is dark the group finally arrives at the Roadside
Inn. This one has a medium sized barn. Z'leyra does the
haggling of fees and pays for the group. Kiet and Arawn
notice there is little free space so they will have to do
a common room tonight. But it better than sleeping in
the cold outside. Z'leyra finds the fees a bit steep at
2 SC for everyone but includes the horse stalls. Then
the fee for meals is different at 18 Copper.
---------------
[Western Marentia - Plains]
[Novehas 25th, 1634TH]
[Time: 6:18 am]
The group wakes to see forest right out of the windows.
They were on the very edge of it when they got here and
was too dark to notice.
The party heads out and finds the day clearing to a bright
and sunny day with no clouds this time. The temperatures
range from 36-71 today. The party head into the forest
heading west.
---------------
[Western Marentia - Forest]
[Novehas 26th, 1634TH]
[Time: 6:31 am]
After breakfast the party heads out from an uneventful
night. The only issue is that Zabyra was not so used to
the sounds of forest life so took her a bit long time to
fall asleep. To her the forest seems to close in too much
compared to a wide open desert.
The day is what Corona says over the tree canopy is all
overcast all day. The temperature ranges from 32-67 and
the forest seems to ebb coldness naturally.
[Time: 12:08 pm]
Between the trees a very faint light snow falls. But
it seems to melt faster than it builds up making only
a very light dusting of snow.
---------------
[Western Marentia - Forest]
[Novehas 27th, 1634TH]
[Time: 6:12 am]
The party wakes up again from a nice campsite near a small
brook off the road. Probably in summer it dries up as
it is so small. But it allows the horses nice water
and grazing.
From the trees the day shows no clouds at all making a
nice clear day. The temperatures range form 58 to 86
warming up so fast warm clothing is removed for most of
the ride.
[Time: 11:40 am]
Deep in the forest the last person seen has been an
hour before. It was two riders passing quickly on
the road. All along for days people go past the
group in either direction. Most are common people
who avoid contact as best they can like farmers or
peasants. Some do nod or greet in passing but do
not stay long enough to make friends.
The trees are thick here and no one can see Corona as
he is flying above the trees out of sight and the gloom
of the forest seems to block view of him.
Suddenly noises are heard from north and south - left
and right. From the north 3 things shoot out and from
the south 3 shoot out as well. Before anyone can react
the things fly toward the group.
The first hits Arawn and he glances down to his arm to
see a dart. But whatever it was meant to do it seems
to have failed.
The second dart hits Fremea in the back and she rips it
out but whatever it was meant to do it seems to have failed.
The third dart hits Kiet in the leg as he glances down
but nothing happens to him either.
The fourth dart hits Zabyra in the shoulder and she
falls off the horse onto the road unconscious.
The last two darts fly toward Pyan and Reddof but
both seem to go wild and miss them by half a foot.
The party glance all around and pull weapons looking for
what just attacked them but the forest is too thick.
[Time: 11:40:00 am]
[Phase 1]
Actions? Comments?
Next Update....Monday??
GM: A few days go by with no events at all. Keep in mind it
is generic. In those few days the party might encounter
a hundred folks on the road. But they all pass without
real notice or issue. What I list here are actual encounters.
Like the deer and the forest currently. I will do 2 more
phases next update. There is a low chance for a Friday
update this week as I work Thursday and have a bit of
minor project to do. So we'll see. I could try to work
on something Wednesday afternoon but I can't guarantee
Friday update. IF nothing by Friday then will work on
it for sure Saturday and end final work (if not completed
by Saturday) by Monday afternoon. I took into account
items and skills to avoid the ambush. But since some items
wee not 'active'/pulled out then not used.
For the map there were 14 hexes across and 4 down. So
I did d14, d4 for random positions. It looks odd but
consider pot holes and such making folks spread out? :)
GM: Arawn - I know Forest your skills. I actually rolled for
it but did not detect the ambush sorry. As to the first
encounter with Ashur Priest. I know you would want to
do something. You are free retroactively but keep in
mind if you stay there too long it will delay things.
Based on the motivations and dice things ended as is but
I'm sure your itching to do something. :)
Zabyra - Sorry bad dice. I figured at least half the
darts might've worked. But only yours did. So for
now I'm sorry but out of the fight unless helped. Nothing
personal just random target selection and dice effects.
GM: Second Leg of Travel Malnon to Thaliba City.
