       [Recap]

         From Kiet: [Re: Quotes]
           [post accidently deleted..opps]
         GM: Ack. Will add quotes to post.

         From Kiet: [Re: Actions]
           Well, I only know two types of dispell.  Elder and Law. ...
         GM: Ack. Thanks for helping out!

         From Mae: [Re: Challenges]
           'It makes you stronger?  You don't know strength little....
         GM: Ack.

         From Z'leyra: [Re: Actions]
           Z'leyra pauses, then says "What I would like to do ...

           "I see no need for haste, and perhaps a bit of rest...
         GM: Ack. I said this before the smell thing is just that
             smells. It has never affected magic.  Aside form getting
             near targets that need magic.

         From Kiet: [Re: actions]
           Kiet's response:

           "Well, if one of us has a staff or wand stronger than....
         GM: Ack.

         From Z'leyra: [Re: Actions]
           Z'leyra responds to Kiet, "I am decent at dispeling...
         GM: Ack.

       [New Stuff]

           [Febris 9th, 1635TH]
           [Time: 5:01 pm]

           [After the last Challenge and the Guardian tells of more wards.]

             "Well, I only know two types of dispel.  Elder and Law.
           Both at a very low level.  But I'll do what I can to help."
           Kiet tells the others as they climb.

             Mae climbs and considers the most recent events.

             It makes you stronger?  You don't know strength little one,
           summon a sister and see what true strength is,' the voice teases,
           'I would rather rut with my own mother than doing something you
           want me to do you bitch,' Mae yells in her mind, her resolve
           starting to falter as she looks at her companions and wonders
           which might survive and stops herself, 'Damn do you all wind up
           dealing with this?  How do you survive in the Court?' she asks
           mentally, the voice, however, doesn't respond.

             Maelorna gives Z'layha a smirk as she talks about the
           fortress, "Somehow I have a feeling, they would allow the
           others to pass, but myself, as I am now, they wouldn't hesitate
           to send to the Court. If I could ask one thing of you, which I
           will repay, warn me when to change back to hide," as she reaches
           up to see if her earrings are still intact or had she lost them.

             "I do hope that if we survive this, we can actually stop long
           enough to take a nice, long, hot bath as well, while I don't
           care of my particular undress, my less than hedonistic side
           would enjoy having to clothe once again.

             She watches the other's with their own personal challenges
           and realizes only one choice each was valid, the other choices
           even if s were traps.

             When all the challenges appear complete and they have lost
           the sailor she smiles.  As they hear the next part, "I am
           uncertain about wards, if it's Chaos, that means I can pass but
           you couldn't?  I'm not fully immune to the powers of Law, but
           they have less effect than they would on a normal human or even
           those aligned with Chaos.  I am able to dispel, but that
           requires me to be hidden in the human shell as I am unable to
           use the spells, apologies, still trying to figure that  part out."

             Z'layha asks Mae, "do you need to be in..that form still?"

             Z'leyra pauses, then says. "What I would like to do is to
           just teleport back to where the statue was unveiled. But it
           seems likely that wards would turn a near certain teleport
           into a very chancy dice with death. So I deem that avenue too
           risky to use. Further, I am hindered by a miscast magic that
           distracts me with overpowering smells. This may wear off or
           need to be dispelled."

             "I see no need for haste, and perhaps a bit of rest would
           help.  While we rest we can discuss how best to proceed.
           Perhaps come up with a plan? Any ideas? Remember that we are
           all in this together." She nods at Mae.

             Z'layha looks sad, "rest? I want out of this place
           and home as fast as we can!"

             "Well, if one of us has a staff or wand stronger than mine,
           it can be passed around to provide better chances for success."
           Kiet looks over to Mae and says "I know what you are thinking.
           Get the mind out of the gutter."

             "My biggest concern is the range of the wards.  If they out-
           range our dispel casts, we might be...well....toast.  Perhaps
           literally."

             "Time for everyone that has them to fess up.  Against what
           alignments are each of you able to negate spells?  I already
           announced mine."

             Z'leyra responds to Kiet, "I am decent at dispeling or
           banishing Chaos, only journeyman level at banishing Elder and
           but apprentice level at banishing Law. My wand and staff are
           both quite powerful as one of my best skills is enchantment
           and I used my best skill to make those items. And yes, I can
           loan them out as needed. Those who do borrow them, try not to
           drain the mana batteries in them too much."

             Z'layha speaks up, "I am decent I guess in taking Shamanic
           and balance things out."

           Actions? Comments??

           Next Update....Wednesday...

           GM: A short update.  I think plans on the ward dispel will
               be needed so we'll wait a few more days.  In order to help
               speed things not taking weeks I'll do a GM no-no and give
               the ward #s below.  But it will not mention strength.  :)
               Based on this data one can figure out who wants to take
               which, any if any aids and how many recasts.  Yes
               the numbers are shocking but there is a reason.  They
               wanted a guarantee of no escape from the shifters.  I'll
               perform all the various rolls in one update to speed
               things up.  So its important to say recasting limits,
               aids and such.    I can't list strength yet as it will
               be randomly rolled but being gods or their Avatars the
               power would probably decent but not ungodly to overcome.
               I revised these numbers 4 times at one point they were
               up to 4 times as many but this should be enough if the
               team works together.

               I know some have mana reading so can figure out strength
               but that may cost as well.  But with the number below
               it'd take 10 months.  So this is best way to speed things
               up.  Unless someone gets zapped I'll do it all in one
               post but if zapped then will stop. ;)  If folks need
               to know ELs for disp/banishes let me know.   I doubt
               much has leveled up that much since start.

           GM: Ward Info

                   Alignment       Number
                 Balance             15
                 Chaos               19
                 Elder               17
                 Kotothi              1
                 Law                 17
                 Neutral              9
                 Shamanic             5
                 Sidh                 5

                 At BMC 3 most costs might be 13-23 but could vary
                 lower or higher.  :)
