      Admin Notes: Part B.

      [Recap]

        From Z'leyra: [Re: Actions]
          Hoping that Red Shirt knows what he is shouting about
          Z'leyra gallops forwards readying her sword and regretting
          that she hadn't practiced her Sleep Mist spell more. Until
          she is sure who are the bad guys she will attack those that
          Red Shirt attacks but will attempt to disarm and stun her
          opponents rather than kill.
        GM: Ack.

        From Fremea: [Re: Actions]
          After a few of the others speak about themselves, ...
          ----------------------------------------------------

          Fremea will take to the sky when the party starts rushing
          towards the fight. She will wait to see who this Admiral is
          before she starts to use her bow.

          Your best bet for getting all the files over really is to
          purchase an external hard drive casing (that will support
          your drive type) and take out the hard drive from your old
          computer. Then you can connect it to your better computer as
          an USB drive and just pull data over that way.

          mini IBT
          Fremea will be practicing her Herbalist skill during most
          the ride time, casting Luck each time she goes out. She will
          use her knowledge skill when it is time to do so (since you
          have the time frame).
        GM: Ack. Thanks for advice.  I may chat with you on this later.
            Knowledge for what?  I can do that on luck and skill. You
            are probably the only one who could do that as with you
            flying you travel as fast as the horses and so could easily
            fly ahead and they catch up or vice versa.  So for you
            Herbalist is good.  For others it will be reduced time due
            to riding.  But let me know what to learn from the Knowledge
            spell.  Thanks.

      [New Stuff]

          [Western Marentia - Plains]
          [Novehas 17th, 1634TH]

          [Time: 9:22am]

            Though Arawn couldn't be sure as to what was going on a
          bandit ambush seemed likely. Sensing merit in helping the
          Bhamotin military force Arawn chose to intervene before things
          grew worse. However, at 300 feet, it could take the horses
          several precious seconds to reach the remaining force.

          [Time: 9:22:00 am]
          [Phase 1]

            "Translocating closer..." he informed the party, raising a
          hand should any signal a desire to join him.

            Red Shirt gives a quick hand signal to his cousin and both
          surge forward on their horses.

            Fremea removes her dress while riding her loaned hors and
          tosses it to the ground to get later.  She flaps her wings
          and takes to the air causing the horse to shudder slightly
          on the sudden shift of weight.

            The others look to Z'leyra wondering who to attack if any.
          It is ironic that being neighbor nations no one in the party
          knows Bhamotin.  Though by now it can be assumed Farseeker
          does being so close to the border.

            Z'leyra decides to charge and see who Red Shirt attack
          She surges ahead with her horse at a fast gallop.

          [Time: 9:22:03 am]
          [Phase 2]

            Corona hovers high above but has no clue who to attack as well.
          The attack was sudden.  The terrain is flat and long being
          plains.  But every so often a small hill incline and
          slope do happen.  This is where the party did not anticipate
          the attack as it was just out of view of the party until
          they descended a small slope of a hill.

            By now the 12 on 5 continue their attacks.  Some more blood
          is taken but it seems no one is down.

            Arawn translocates closer while riding his horse.  He
          appears 60 feet from the crowd holding his sword and buckler.

            It is clear to all who can see though that one side has
          clear numbers on the other 12 to 5.  Giving some 2 or 3
          persons to fight each.  It will mean a good battle for
          the small side.

          Actions?  Comments?

          Next Update....Monday..

          GM: Horses will do 5-8 hexes depending on horse each phase.
              Its 18-20 away.  So at least 4 more phases or as soon
              as 3.  But remember 300 feet is in range for some bow
              weapons.  Course your just firing in a crowd and that
              could be dangerous not knowing who to hit. I will do
              2 more phases of combat next update.  Take into account
              the above math.  Those like Arawn/Red Shirt will do
              stuff before others.  It may become more clear who
              is on what side soon.

              Since these were delayed consider this the Friday update.
              Based on posts I will do a short combat one Monday but
              being a holiday folks may be out of town.  I'm off that
              day so Monday afternoon will judge if will do a update
              or not.  If not then it will be out by next Wednesday.
              Happy Labor day!

          GM: Arawn - You may be in melee range next update so name
                a target or action.

     .        Kiet - I know you sent a email talking about leaving the
                horse and charging but unless I forgot something I
                can't find it.  So if you had specific things remind me.

          GM: First Leg of Trip

                Slowest Horse - 22 MR (+25% Road- +6)
                Speed - 28 MR MPH/day on road

                            ~240-Enter Malnon
                [Assuming no delays]

                This is mostly a reminder to me.

   Seems some have visual issues with the hexes, so here is without the hex
   edges around the main group.  Maybe this will help.

   As always if map messes up in email see website as it shows up
   fine there.
