       [Recap]

         From Mae: [Re: Actions]
           Maelorna looks down at the man and 't hide the look...
         GM: Ack.

         From Ix: [Re: Actions]
           Ix was unable to discern the item until Mournath started...

           "We have just lost any chance at questioning our dead captain..."

           OOC: First official public post.  Hi all :)
         GM: Ack. Welcome to game you did fine.  I actually did not
             get the post myself.  This is a issue wiht list it will
             randomly not send posts. This is as GM I check the Archives
             to ensure I didn't miss posts.  Pyan's posts when he does
             them often doesn't come to me.  Go figure.  Unsure why.
             Welcome to game!

         From Unali: [Re: Actions]
           OOC: Welcome to the game.

           When Unali hear the remark from Ix, she wonders what the heck she
           meant and at the first opportunity will ask her "What was ...
         GM: Ack.

       [New Stuff]

           [Marqi Frisda 23rd, 1636TH; Sivas, Marentia]
           [Time: 10:41 am]

              Maelorna looks down at the man and 't hide the look of
           disdain as his usefulness as a pet or even a meal is at an end.
           'See, the best of intentions, now if the irritant will just
           leave you be, we can continue helping the ease the suffering of
           all this food' the voice teases.   Maelorna closes her eyes '
           Just shut up please, we have enough trouble as it is without
           you making it worse,   I promise, once we finish we'll go
           hunting but for now please,' she pleads with the voice.   She
           looks at Arawn and sighs, he either didn't notice her or had
           chosen to ignore her.

              As for the wolf, she does her best to ignore the canine, it
           wasn't attacking her from the shadows, growling, nor did it
           have any friends, at least at the moment she was safe from it.

              The wolf growls a bit at Mae but doesn't pounce.  Maybe it
            smells the love of cats on her and the dislike of dogs on
            her an djoins in?


           [Time: 10:42 am]

             When the guards arrive Maelorna smiles at a few of them in
           recognition, she keeps her arms folded serenely over her silver
           belt, not even going close to her dagger or crossbow.   She can't
           help but note the Captain and with a soft smile she turns to
           face him.   She tilts her head letting some of her red hair fall
           over her face, while her emerald green eyes take him in and she
           gives him a knowing smile, "I have yet to use this weapon other
           than practice," she offers honestly as she wonders how resilient
           he might be as a pet.   He certainly was handsome enough '
           Perhaps once we finish helping the disgusting one, we might
           see just how much of a pet he might make little one,' the voice
           giggles with delight.

            Mae doesn't seem to recognize any of the guards as clients.
          But then again most have their own private brothels.

            The captain nods at Mae, "yes I know."

          [Second deck]

            Ix was unable to discern the item until Mournath started
          fidgeting with it.  When she realized what it was and its
          function, she tightened her grip on her cane, since she was too
          late to stop it, "We have just lost any chance at questioning our
          dead captain..." Being nudged by Fremea caught her atention and
          she sighed, resigning to the fact that there was nothing she
          could do.  She couldn't bring the man's soul back.  She does turn
          to follow Fremea, leaving Unali and Mournath in the captain's
          quarters.

            When Unali hear the remark from Ix, she wonders what the she she
          meant and at the first opportunity will ask her "What was that
          effect from the Captain's case, you think?"

            Upon discovering the dwarves, she touches the fae's arm and
          motions up to let her know she was heading above deck. She
          carefully makes her way up the stairs and straight to the wolf,
          ignoring the guards for now.  Gently stroking the wolf, he speaks
          softly to it in her native language, but it was a good guess on
          anyone's part that she was likely saying 'good boy'.

            As the guards escorted Z'leyra and Kiet back to the ship the
          officer decides to back track.  First having jumped on a wagon
          as a free ride he leaps off.  He heads back the way he just
          came if the ship has been taken over he can't afford to leave
          witnesses.   His people would not allow failure of this level
          and exposure.  He runs west and sees a city guardsman on his
          horse riding his way.  Acting fast the officer ducks into a
          spice shop.  The rider rides fast and doesn't see him which
          is good for him.

            Soon the officer ends up behind the warehouse to the docks.
          This small alley is just off the man avenue but is still
          quiet.  He climbs the fire exit stairs to the roof the
          crosses over to the north side of the roof.  He pulls out
          his trusty hand held spy glass from his pocket.  He scans the
          ship a few hundreds feet to the north.  He curses under his
          breath as he sees the city guards on board now.

            The officer spots dead sailors and his comrade of arms.
          Whoever did this was armed well.  He notices the only one
          to hold some form of missiles weapon is that red head.  She
          is rather cute but needs to die.  Then the officer notices
          the lone dwarf with helmet and armor that has a tint of red
          from this angle.  That must be the dwarf his men went to
          obtain for volunteer work for them.  They must've failed and
          assaulted the ship with his strange assortment of friends.
          Then he notices the other dwarves.  The ones they tricked to
          work the mines then had the gall to argue they didn't want to
          stay in the hold!

             HE notices guards going back and forth and some going down
           into the lower decks.  Where is the captain?  Surely he would
           not escaped like a coward??  Then he spots that arrogant
           book reading miner man.  He never agreed to hiring the
           man as a good whip can do more motivation than some kind
           words from their so called friend.  But the captain objected
           and now he is the only survivor it seems.

             The captain must've gotten rid of any trace of their
           people.  If not this will go down bad.  Then just before
           lowering the spy glass he notices the wolf and the small
           girl. She escaped too?  The navigator argued against taking
           her with the dwarves in Ba'ru.   But he himself argued that
           in a cold mine the guards will need some fun.  He warned
           to kill the wolf out right but its red eyes were unusual and
           the captain felt he could sell it for coin where they were
           planning to go to.

             The officer puts down the glass and pulls the fancy
           repeating crossbow from his back. He clicks on the spy
           glass for help pinpointing targets onto the crossbow.  Then
           prepares the magical bolts.  Then aims it toward the
           ship.  Time to take out some witnesses.

             The officer knows the only one main witness could be the
           Captain but without seeing him the second best target is
           the annoying man.  He aims and fires.  At this range which
           is extreme for most normal weapons - but not for a magical
           one - the bolt flies fast toward it targets.  Then it
           deviates and changes course as the magical self guiding
           bolts orient on the victim.

             The bolt hits Raddok square on.

             Then the officer fires again this one aimed toward the
           dwarf who must've escaped their attack.  The bolt impacts
           right on his armor and bounces off.

             This is when the ship goes into chaos when they discover
           a new threat.

             Raddok reaches up to his neck at the bolt that lodged into
           his neck.  How could this be.  The pain is intense.  Did the
           Fae return to finish her mission?  Raddok can feel blood
           gushing out and looks to Arawn and tries to speak.

             The third bolt flies toward Ix but at the last instant
           the wolf leaps and takes it into the side.

             Arawn rushes with bolts flying toward Raddok and yells to
           Z'leyra for help.

             The fourth bolt flies toward Dorhak but by now he has
           ducked behind the rigging.  But the self guiding bolts
           hit the dwarf in the side doing 8 points of damage as
           it hits.

             The last bolt zooms toward Arawn and hits him the
           back doing 6 points as he reels in pain.

             The guards all ducked onto the deck and the Captain
           spots the shooter.  "On the roof across street!  Sniper!"

             Fremea dashes up the steps and hears this and then removes
           her dress then flies toward the sniper.

             Raddok collapses to his knees as he sees spots in front of
           his eyes.  Z'leyra quickly figures out the man has little
           chance as the main artery is severed.  Maybe if she can do
           a quick healing spell and Arawn do a regeneration.

             The officer's eyes widen as he sees the fae flying toward
           him.  He stands an runs back toward the stairs.

             Ix rushes to the wolf and notices it is bad off.

             Dorhak grunts and pulls the bolt out from his side
           and places pressure on his wound.  At least it wasn't
           deep for a lung.

             Z'leyra casts a spell as fast as she can and nods to
           Arawn.  Arawn gets the hint and also tries a regeneration
           spell to close the neck.

             Raddok loses consciousness as he feels the magical healing
           of the spell the last thing ever.

             Fremea laughs at the man trying to make it to the stairs
           but pulls her dagger.  She lands in front the man who also
           pulls his sword.  The officer charges and Fremea sweeps the
           man's left leg and he falls.  Then rolls to the side.

             Raddok begins to regain life and flutters his eyes as
           he stares at Z'leyra.   He tries to ask what happened but
           finds it difficult.

             "You are too late!"  The officer laughs as he rolls
           and avoids a dagger bash to the head.  Then charges quicklly
           in one fluid motion toward Fremea knocking her off her feet.
           The man swipes his sword but Fremea ducks once and then twice.

              Fremea kicks the man back once knocking breath out of his
            lungs.  Fremea kicks the man again and then didn't realize how
            far to the wall they were.  The man falls over the side of
            the 3 story warehouse and lands onto the street shattering
            his head.

              Fremea then turns to hit what sounds like a set of
            distinctive pops.

              On the deck the bolt laced with magical naptha
            explode.

              The wolf's left side explodes gushing blood all over
            Ix and killing the wolf.

              The bolt Dorhak pulled out saved his life on the ground
            but explodes near his leg and he takes another 6 points
            of shrapnel damage.

               The other 2 explode and 3 dwarves take damage as well as
             2 of the city guards.

               Finally at the same time the bolt that was removed from
             Raddok explodes just as Raddok sits up.  The shrapentl
             explodes right into his chest and face.  Sadly a large
             piece pierces his left eye and into his brain.

               The last thing Raddok learns is that he'll never see his
             girl again.

               Arawn pales and feels sick.  He sensed the magic.  But before
             he could've grabbed and tossed it away the bolt exploded and it
             was too late.

           Actions? Comments?

           Next Update....Wednesday?

           GM:  Wow.  Ok.  I'm ..so sorry Raddok.  The chances
                of you being hit were like 13%.  He got lucky.  Then
                chance of a neck wound were like 2 out of 12.  He got
                lucky.  Then you were saved but the shrapnel   Then
                the explosion I rolled very bad for you and it hit eyes
                which was like 1 out of 30?  I'm so sorry to do this.
                But there is hope! The party does know a person - Cetric
                who can resurrect folks.  If you care to go that route?

                Ix - The wolf may be saved if treated right way.  But
                chances are low.  He did save your life.

                This is indeed a sad update but sometimes the bad guys
                luck out and pcs get bad luck.  There is no death
                there is just resurrection.  Bess is this good?
