[Recap]
From Z'leyra: [Re: Actions]
Z'leyra gets up, thank those who had met her gaze then goes
over and asks the dwarf in Zen'dali "Dorhak, do you have...
GM: Ack.
From Dorhak: [Re: Actions]
"Not much to tell. I went hoping to get help learning...
GM: Ack.
From Kevin: [Re: Actions]
OOC. I'm not sure where the 'axe' is that you talk about.
The only axe Dorhak has is a throwing axe. He should have
his mace in hand.
GM: Ack. Probably my Dwa---err..my minions messing up in
their duties as editors. I'll punish them later.
From Z'leyra: [Re: Actions]
"But making skiis, sled or toboggan would take time, ...
GM: Ack.
From Arawn: [Re: Actions]
[Fuk on his horse looks to Unali, "you seem fine now....
Having escorted Unali back to the group Arawn's face...
"It was most certainly a curse, but do you have any idea...
------
Having been engrossed in Unali's predicament the alfar ...
"I could have shaped a travois," he uttered to those ...
[Sorry, short on time, or I'd detail this and the travois
creation here. Hopefully I can have something out tomorrow
evening]
--------
Z'leyra's Gaze: I don't think Arawn was in range as he
was chasing after Unali but, in case it matters, he wouldn't
have actively avoided her gaze (though he probably wasn't
looking in her direction either) as he doesn't have anything
he feels he needs to hide.
Mane/Feather: (can't recall if I sent his out previously)
Unless someone wants part of the mane Arawn would be happy
to get the entire part. Feathers, if no one else claims
feathers he'd love enough to make a cloak but not sure what
amount would be needed - GM, thoughts on this for the future?
For now though Arawn will claim 9 feathers.
GM: Ack. Yes out of spell range. Griffins have a mane? To
me its more just a normal horse mane? Cloak of feathers?
Depends on how long. If hip length then maybe 35-40?
But I could be wrong. So just 9?
From Dorhak: [Re: Actions]
Dorhak is confused. There are an equal number of horses...
Dorhaks only thought is "Please don't fall! Please don't...
GM: Ack.
------------------------------------------------------------
[New Stuff]
[Janaq 15th, 1635TH]
[Zen'da Eastern Plains - River Sich edge]
[Time: 7:22 am]
Z'leyra notices that Pyan also met her gaze during the
spell and nods to the hunter.
Z'leyra gets up, thank those who had met her gaze then goes
over and asks the dwarf in Zen'dali "Dorhak, do you have any
skill in skiing or skijoring? If so, a horse could pull you
behind it while you ride on skiis. If not, we could try
something similar to you riding a toboggan being pulled by a
horse. Perhaps the rawhide from the griffin could be made into
a suitable toboggan. If we do that would you be interested in
that mode of transportation?"
"Later I will be interested in hearing news from the Kameran
as it has been a while since I've been home."
Dorhak notices the man coming back with the wild woman
along side. Things seem better but Dorhak keeps his mace
at hand. He glances toward Z'leyra. "Not much to tell. I
went hoping to get help learning more about metals. They
said no."
Lucria grunts.. This is why Z'leyra's dad may have been
killed. Learning such secrets. The bounty hunter is
aware the dwarf could've been killed. Then he realizes
something. He moves toward Fuk and whispers.
"It is odd that we have this dwarf and now Unali back?
The chances are odd. Don't you think?"
Fuk glances at the others and whispers back, "Do
you think one of them could be this look alike in
some magical form? We'll have to keep an eye on both
even while not on sentry duty. Just to be safe these
aren't seeking to kill us all."
Lucria nods and then takes a cloth from his belt and
ties it around his face. He has seen Arawn wear a
face wrap and Unali as well. So it may be safe for him
to avoid Zen'da seeing him. Especially in this area
so close to the southern central regions.
Z'leyra sighs and continues, "But making skiis, sled or
toboggan would take time, time I don't wish to spare. Fine! I
will let you ride my horse and I will tell her to be careful
to not dump you off. Please do not disturb my gear." With that
Z'leyra takes the bedroll from her horse, (talking in Horse
Tongue to the horse telling her to be careful with this rider
as he does not know how to ride and to stay in the middle of
the herd) and offers to help Dorhak onto the saddle. "Do not
try to guide the horse and don't hurt it. It will keep with
the rest of the horses."
Z'leyra starts to divest herself of her gear as she will
then hang some of her gear from the saddle and will roll the
rest of it into the bedroll which she ties behind the saddle.
By the time this is done she is nude. "Everyone ready? Let's
go!" Whereupon she turns into an eagle and will join Corona
flying figure-eights overhead and in front of the party a ways.
Fuk looks at Lucria when Z'leyra begins removing her armor
she just put on and now her shirt? "What...is ...she doing?"
When she stands among the party fully naked Lucria raises
an eyebrow. "Whatever it is...maybe this is some Kameran
thing. At least now we can see if she has any marks for
finding her twin. Then-" Then Z'leyra turns to a eagle.
"..ok. Now I'm intrigued. If she can do that at will
maybe she is this killer? Wouldn't it be ironic we are
on the trail of a killer and we deliver her back to the
Kameran?"
Fuk nods to the whispers and nods.
Dorhak is confused. There are an equal number of horses as
there are humans and others. Z'leyra offers her horse to ride?
What will she ride then?
Dorhak is grateful for the help up to the horse. He wasn't
quite sure how he would climb up there. He mumbles "Thanks"
in Kameri to Z'leyra. He almost panics, though, over how far
off the ground he is. Everything about the dwarves is connected
to the earth...but here he is way too far from it!
Arawn stops his horse near the others now with Unali and
grins at Dorhak bobbing back and forth in the saddle.
Doesn't take a empath to see that Dorhak is scared to
death by being on the horse. He motions for Dorhak at
least to grab the reigns. No need to guide but he can
at least use them to support his arms.
Dorhak's surprise isn't over. Z'leyra begins to take off
her clothes, then doesn't stop until completely naked. Dorhak
disapproves and looks away, shaking his head and mumbles
"humans!" In dwarf elder. He hears the flapping sound and
looks around and sees that Z'leyra is missing! Now there are
two eagles floating around the sky over this weird group.
Dorhaks only thought is "Please don't fall! Please don't
fall..." He holds onto the saddle with all his strength and
wordlessly prays to the gods of stone and silence.
Unali rides back visible far more relaxed than she was
before. She dismounts this time.
To Fuk and the group she explains, "I was cursed, as I
understand, with a view on this world that is even darker than
actually normal. I would see anyone, even my friends and travel
partners, as possible enemies. Thanks Arawn, for seeing through
all this and curing me. I must have been a pain to have around."
"I am not sure when this came over me, somewhere in the past
few days, but it might have been when I was out on a job for
Aren, interviewing some not so nice ladies from the sands to
the east. These rebel witches tend to be nasty ones. One must
have had a trick or two up her sleeve."
Unali turns to Dorhak, "Welcome Dorhak, I would be pleased
to ride with you, although I guess I gave a different
impression just now. Maybe one day we can sit down and discuss
how to make the perfect daggers.."
Having escorted Unali back to the group Arawn's face displayed
interest when Fuk asked the question that was likely on
everyone's mind.
"It was most certainly a curse, but do you have any idea
how you acquired it? And why?"
While awaiting her answer he allowed his natural senses to
take in her aura, doing his best to make sure that no lingering
effects remained.
But Arawn notices nothing new since last time he saw
Unali back in Sivas. Maybe more emotion of confusion but
that would be natural after this event.
Fuk leans to Lucria, "I intend to speak to Unali. Ticasi
has little info on this L'p'nth area. It might be great
intel for the council."
Having been engrossed in Unali's predicament the Alfar was
unaware of the interaction occurring between Z'leyra and Dorhak.
When the shamaness began to shift the gear around he assumed
the dwarf would be riding behind her, by the time he realized
she was going take flight she was already stripped down and in
the sky.
"I could have shaped a travois," he uttered to those nearby,
a wry grin on his face. "Oh well. I'll craft one once we make
camp... or when she gets tired. Whichever comes first."
Turning to Dorhak he once again gave a warm smile.
"I'd have offered you a ride but it's not my back to
offer. Corsaya is a bit particular as to whom she chooses to
bear. But I'll introduce her to you and the others at camp.
It's been a whirlwind of activity lately and I've barely had
time to take a breath!"
Arawn sees the party start to head off and dismounts. He
rushes over to the dead griffin and begins taking feathers.
He can always catch up. After all his horse is about 3
times as fast as the others.
[Time: 7:30 am]
The party departs the River Sich banks. The day is cloudy
and temperatures range form 10-55 degrees. Flying high overhead
Z'leyra has to fly low to gain some warm currents.
As the party moves some try to get to know the dwarf and
why he just simply upped and joined this group. Was
he heading somewhere? For what?
[Time: 5:18 pm]
About this time a huge wind storm kicks the party a bit
back in their seats. Dorhak begins to fall but Kell and
Kiet help right him in the horse. Z'leyra and Corona have
to fly higher to avoid the wind from slamming them down
to the surface. The storm continues for half an hour as
the horses are slowed by the wind.
Soon the party makes camp for the night.
Unali finds Z'leyra and Kiet on the gifts both gave to
her. The amulet from Kiet and the bag from Z'leyra.
"These gifts are fantastic, certainly for a long trek as I
understand we are to make."
--------
[Janaq 16th, 1635TH]
[Zen'da Central Plains]
[Time: 6:51 am]
Camp is broken down and the party heads out after a quick
breakfast. The day is partly cloudy all day with the
temperatures of 35-42.
[Time: 5:53 pm]
A thick fog begins to roll down the plains and is thick
it only allows maybe 20 feet in front of you to see. The
fog lasts well into darkness almost 2 hours later before
it fades away. This slows the party as they have to be
careful riding.
--------
[Janaq 17th, 1635TH]
[Zen'da Central Plains]
[Time: 7:11 am]
Z'leyra notices that Corona is missing. Arawn who was
on sentry duty few hours before said he went off flying
south and will catch up not to stay. Z'leyra finds this
odd but allows it. Maybe he is off hunting or such.
The day again is partly cloudy with little sun seen.
The temperatures range from 20-37.
[Time: 8:18 am]
Finally Corona joins the group flying from the fluffy
clouds overhead. He doesn't explain where he went though.
[Time: 3:33 pm]
A sudden hail storm begins to hit the party. The stones
are size of marbles to small eggs. The ice projectiles
blast party and give some bruises but for the most part
the party is not harmed badly. It only lasts for about 12
minutes.
[Time: 4453 pm]
Another huge wind storm hits the party. This is hard
enough to rip capes off. Bedrolls or tied things from
horses are discarded like toys and have to be collected.
But the storm only lasts 4 minutes so is short.
--------
[Janaq 18th, 1635TH]
[Zen'da Central Plains]
[Time: 4:47 am]
At this time the party is asleep aside from sentries of
Kiet and Fuk. Fuk is on patrol east of the party in
the dark but within sight of the campfire.
Kiet is sitting with campfire at his back among the
tents and watching the stars and the west. When he
hears rustling behind him. But it takes a few minutes
before he realizes its not wind or a person. he
stands and looks around. Then he spots it in the north
barely seen about 40 feet away are 2 dogs. They look
like dogs but the odd thing is Kiet thinks he is sleep
mad because they are yellow in color?
Kiet rubs his eyes and blinks but sure enough the
yellow does not fade. He notices they are both rummaging
around the pile of discarded food from last night.
Fuk had cooked some of his ham and beans but had some
bad bacon so tossed it there.
Actions? Comments?
Next Update..Friday??
GM: Since we've moved on I did until next encounter which
was 3 days later. You guys can fill in the gaps if need
be but I go from encounter to speed things up. The
above sentries were random.
Kiet need a map?
I did this a bit late due to a storm so started
later than I wanted so couldn't get a map tonight.
I am off Thursday so I will work update Thursday
afternoon.
GM: IBT - I've updated the IBT chart on the website
Adventure Timeline file. For those who have
added such info.
GM: Will update food/water this week. Just ran out
of time tonight.
