       [Recap]

         From Fremea: [Re: Dagger]
           Yes, Fremea will fly to get her daggers or bow and quiver,
           whichever is easiest to grab quickly and then take on the
           shifter.
         GM: Ack.

         From Unali: [Re: Actions]
           Unali will quickly grab the dagger and sheath, yell 'Thanks'
           without really looking who threw it. Pull the dagger out and
           charge towards where Mae is standing with two shifters around
           her.

           Not sure how well her control of Zin is, but she will atatck
           #4 first.
         GM: Ack.

         From Mae: [Re: Actions]
           Maelorna almost squeals in playful delight as she can ...

           ..the shifter a playful smile, "Zin, my love, would you
         GM: Ack.  Technically that request is a bit over 3 sec (1
             phase as I speak it :)).  If just said Zin Attack. and
             point it'd work as well. :)  Just tips on how to work
             the mechanics.

         From Dorhak: [Re: Actions]
           Yeah!  Free at last!  These things will pay.  Dorhak will
           virtually dive into the pile of gear to find his mace and
           shield, then head toward the nearest enemy.  Maybe try to
           avoid the demon supposedly on our side.
         GM: Ack.

         From Z'leyra: [Re: Actions]
           As Z'leyra runs past shifter #3 on the way to grab her blade
           she uses here Hand-to-hand skill to hit it (fighting
           defensively). Once she has her blade she draws the blade as
           she slings the sheath.

           After that she fights offensively trying to protect her sister
           and the party.
         GM: Ack.

         From Arawn: [Re: Actions]
           As the fallen finger reshaped itself into an all too...
         GM: Ack.

         From Don: [Re: Theme song]
           Since we have a few days before the "Powers that be"
           deign to delight us in more torment.

           What is your character's theme song?Â
         GM: Ack. Well I was going to work on update tonight (Saturday)
             But since you want a delay.  Sure. :)

         From Kiet: [Re: Actions]
           Kiet looks up rather surprised by the group members, or....

           "Stop now!  All of you!  Or this one dies!"  His face is...

           OOC...I'm gonna take cover now...
         GM: Ack. Whoa! Kiet bad Kiet bad Kiet!

         From Z'leyra; [Re: Actions]
           Upon hearing the threat Z'leyra stops, holds out her empty
           hands while quietly pronouncing the trigger word for her boots
           to give her extra speed. Next she casts Sidh Invisibility on
           herself (MaxEL that she can cast in one phase) then goes and
           grapples the threatening arm and its weapon away from the
           vulnerable neck. She will attempt to throw the shape changer
           down , then run to get her weapon, returning to fight it with
           weapon in hand.
         GM: Ack.

       [New Stuff]

           [Febris 9th, 1635TH]
           [Time: 5:01 pm]
           [Unknown Location]
           [Audience Room - Current room]

           [Phase 5]

             Arawn considers his options.  If this 'finger' body
           part can be manipulated to a weapon then he could try
           to fuse it to the Cyrx.  But there are plenty of weapons
           on the pile by Kiet.  He glances over to see at least
           half the party safe by Kiet who is behind Kell eyeing
           things inside the cave.  He glances around and sees that
           others will need help.  He decides to cast invisibility
           on himself.  He quickly speaks the words and disappears.

             Z'leyra recites the trigger word to activate her magical
           boots to give her boosted speed.  This new boost in speed
           forces Z'layha to fall down breaking her gripe on Z'leyra's
           hand.  She runs past Tusk-Shifter and tries to slap it
           but is moving too fast and misses.  She rounds the group
           and gets to the gear pile.  She spots her great sword
           since is ornate and large.  She lifts it up and then
           returns to charge Tusk-Shifter.  She swings at the tusk that
           is the main damage-maker and misses.

             Fremea flies up and toward the gear pile in the north.
           She lands and scans the pile.  Kiet has been quite messy
           with other people's gear.  She sees several good daggers.
           She spots her bow but the quiver has been dumped and her
           arrows spilt.  She glares at Kiet.  But she spots her
           elven sword still in its sheath.  She feels bad for Arawn
           losing his.  She places the sheath on her belt and scans
           for her dagger. Made from elven metal as well it
           should be a bit different than the pile of 7-8 daggers.
           A slight different glint.  Then she spots it.  She reaches
           for it and takes to the sky.  She turns around and flies
           back to the shifter who attacked her but ends up about 12
           feet from it.

             Unali leans down and grabs her dagger sheath.  Without
           looking back she yells, "thanks" to whoever tossed it. She
           hoped she had her second dagger but it is something. She
           turns east and charges toward Mae to help her.  She ends up
           to the right of the shifter and stabs.  She is unsure if
           they even have internal organs or bone structure.  But
           to his side she stabs.  The dagger digs in deep with its
           magical bonus doing an amazing 45 points of damage.  But
           the shifter is still standing!  Unali does not seem to
           notice any blood at all.

             Bull-Shifter #2 roars and moves toward Fremea who is
           now about 12 feet up.  In order to compensate the shifter
           stretches his legs and makes him 5 feet taller.  It
           tries to claw at Fremea with both razor hands and the
           left misses but the second claws down Fremea's right
           arm doing 5 points of damage shredding tissue causing
           blood to drain.

             Tusk-Shifter #3 charges right for Fuk.  But Fuk sees
           it coming and steps to the side avoiding the long tusk.

             Shifter #4 turns two of his arms - really just re-positions
           the arms - to the side.  It tries to claw Unali but she is
           able to sense it coming thanks to her dagger and dodge and
           weave.  His other arms claw at Mae but using her wings she
           is able to buffet the claws with her wrists and avoid damage.

             Zin remains stone faced behind Mae.

             Kiet looks up rather surprised by the group members, or some
           at least, being moved over toward the pile of gear...and Kiet
           himself.  Things have gotten messy and out of control.

             Kiet turns toward the one named Kell and moves behind him.
           Kiet then starts to rapidly change.  His left forearm melts
           away to be replaced with a flat, circular, pincer claw with a
           razor-sharp inner edge which he proceeds to place around Kell's
           neck.   He doesn't squeeze the pincer hard enough yet to draw
           blood, but any movement by his victim will hurt.  At the same
           time, his right forearm re-forms as a needle-sharp spike which
           he points at Kell's Adam's apple.

             "Stop now!  All of you!  Or this one dies!"  His face is
           contorted into an evil sneer.

             Arawn now invisible places the pedestal with the
           Cyrx on the finger-metal-shifter-part.  Then tilts
           it to touch the material.  He concentrates and the
           finger begins to lengthen out.  A very thin part of
           it seems to fuse the base of the pedestal holding the
           Cyrx to the 'finger' thing.   The shape now forms into
           a double dagger which for a Elf is similar to a scimitar
           but much thinner in width.

             Kell reaches up with his hands dropping his shield and
           spear.  "Kiet buddy? What's up?"  He tries to pry the
           pincher arm of Kiet off but the arm's strength is too much.
           He bulges his eyes out.

             Mournath turns around to face Kiet choking Kell and
           is a bit stunned.   What is going on here?

             Fuk turns his head to glare at Kiet.  "Traitor!" But
           he realizes he has a job here.  He turns back around
           and thrusts his sword at Tusk-Shifter doing a few
           points to the shifter.

             Maelorna almost squeals in playful delight as she can feel
           the life force of the shifter mixing with hers and wonders why
           the succubus warned her of unrestrained feeding.

             It only takes a moment of having to narrowly dodge the
           shifter's attacks to realize, that while Z'leyra was safe,
           Maelorna now had the shifter's full attention and the most
           unhelpful thought 'oh, that would be why.' as the dawning
           realization that while the shifter was not dead yet nor dying,
           it didn't even appear weakened and worse, without someone to
           take the brunt of its claws.  'What to do, what to do,' she
           brightens up, 'Give it another playmate!' as she almost purrs
           and gives the shifter a playful smile, "Zin, my love, would
           you  please kill this one for me." she asks with the full
           intention of putting flesh between her and the one that wanted
           to kill her.

             Yes, definitely, if she survived this, she wanted a bath, a
           wonderfully decadently hot bath with scented lavender oils,
           then a brothel, or even an inn with those willing to play and
           indulge in more base carnal pleasures.  Maybe even see about
           summoning a succubus to teach her, some...  New carnal delights,
           if she could find a way to get past the issue of the elder
           sister wanting to kill her that is.

             Pyan turns to stare at Kiet's new insanity.

             Dorhak is now free hears Kiet but doesn't seem to understand
           what he is saying but doesn't look that way.  He now only
           sees combat!  He charges the few feet toward tusk-shifter.
           With a bit of glee he bashes the tusk-thing-shifter with
           his mace onto the back doing 6 points of damage.

             Z'layha stands and dusts herself off.  She grabs her wrist
           where her sister almost ripped it out of its socket.  She
           glances around for what is going on.



           [Phase 6]

             Z'leyra casts her invisibility spell as she stops.  But
           nothing happens.  In fact a sudden unease drops down over
           her...

             Z'leyra feels queasy the smell in this place is awful.
           She turns east and runs 10 feet then sniffs the air no
           that way is bad!  Too much lava sulfur.  She turns west
           and runs 10 feet that way.  No the bull thing has a scary
           odor! She turns south and runs south right for the south
           cave wall.  She turns before slamming into it and looks
           around sniffing the air.  Too much dust!  Too stale!

             Fremea flies above and over the bull-shifter.  She
           notice Z'leyra acting a bit odd and then gets behind
           the bull-shifter.  She hears Kiet speak and then realizes
           now that he is holding Kell in his pincer?  A bit confused
           she tries to switch arms and place the dagger in her left
           hand and stabs the bull-shifter.  But the wild strike is
           too much and misses as the creature dodges.

             Mae takes to the air herself and flies south west away
           from shifter #4. She lands back on the ground and notices
           Z'leyra in the south west with a worried look?

             Unali notices Mae flee and stabs shifter #4 again hitting
           doing 6 more points in the 'chest' area.

             Shifter #2 and #3 both seem to form 'flesh' over their
           wounds and heals.

             Unali can see Shifter #4 heal a bit from his wounds but
           only slightly.

             Minotaur-Shifter turns and swipes his claw at Fremea doing
           3 more points to her chest.

             Tusk-Shifter changes into humanoid form again.  The tusk
           shifts down his body toward his chest and then toward his
           waist.  The thing grabs his tusk that juts out like a sword
           and thrusts it at Fuk doing 6 points of damage to his ribs.

             Kiet eyes where Arawn was and then backs away.  Not seeing
           many react he pulls Kell off his feet with his great strength
           and pulls him backwards.  Stepping backwards over the various
           items on the ground he gets to the far north western corner
           of the wall with wall to his back and left.  With Kell used
           as a shield.  With that sneer he continues to watch the scene.

             At the same time as the other shifters Zin charges right
           for Shifter #4.  He reforms from two large humanoid arms
           to small thin limbs that jut out about 5 inches.  There are
           maybe now 100 in front of his body.  He then forms small razor
           sharp claws on the ends and latches onto Shifter's #4.  Then
           stepping back he literally pulls the 'flesh' of shifter #4
           away in 100 different spots.  It does 26 points of damage
           to the shifter.  With the damage from Unali the shifter falls
           to the ground with a hundred holes in it.

             Arawn moves now invisible west straight for Kiet.  But
           the shifter has now moves further away.  Arawn ends up about
           15 feet from Kiet.  About 10 feet from the weapons and
           right next to Pyan.

             Kell tries to breath but being lifted-dragged he lost his
           breath and anxiety hits him.

             Mournath thrusts his spear at Shifter #3 but misses.

             Z'leyra lifts her arms and sniffs her arm pits.  That does
           not smell well.  Is she sick?  Will she die?  Did someone
           mess their trousers up?

             Fuk thrusts his sword at Shifter #3 doing 1 more point of
           damage to the 'shoulders'.

             Mae watches Zin and smiles at the quick technique.

             Dorhak swings his mace at Shifter #3 but misses.

             Z'layha is confused by her sister's behavior but then she
           spots the demon red head.  She recognized her own dagger
           in that thing's hand.  She charges, "that's mine!"  She
           speaks in Kameran.  Too bad Mae has no clue what she just
           said but she Mae can see she is pointing at the dagger.


           [Phase 7]

           Actions? Comments?

           Next Update.. Saturday?

           GM: A fun update. :)  I had started Saturday but ran out of
               time so had to finish tonight (which will be early
               Tuesday).   Oh well.  If I had finished saturday would've
               done update Wednesday.  But I have a full day that day
               with a friend coming into town.  Plus it would not give
               you guys enough time to react.  So we'll try Saturday.

               Last update was sloppy and the dwarves made tons of mistakes.
               Using she for he for Arawn.  Also my staff failed to remind
               me of Mae's request on Zin originally several updates ago.
               Sorry!  I beat them for it.  So hope this is better.

           GM: Arawn - At weapons pile now.  There are daggers and some
                a couple swords, bows and tons of assorted gear from
                bags and arrows.

               Dorhak - Assume continue hitting #3.

               Fremea - You may want to fly away being wounded (10 hits)
                 and just do hit/run dive attacks. Though with the
                 shifter's ability to do things he could reach you unless
                 you fly well out of his range 50+ feet?

               Kell - Hope Mark is here or he might be dead.

               Unali - Shifter #4 seems to be down but there is still
                 movement as if biological processes.  But badly hurt.

               Mournath - Hope feeling better.  I wasn't sure what you
                 wanted to do since no actions.

               Z'leyra - Without your full magical toys and the place
                 itself yep a Abysmal.  :<  You now have fear of smells.
                 Olfactophobia.  Keep this in mine for rping. :)  Can
                 still do stuff but what if you smell blood? :)

               Pyan - No posts so         unsure what you want to do.
