[pnpgm] Game Update #27

[John Haight]

Kaz's Hut:

   Arawn avoided commenting on Kaz's opinion regarding human hospitality, the alfar knowing that this varied from culture to culture, regardless of race.

   "I'm sorry to hear that," he said, addressing Kaz's victimization. Too much trauma, too many scars seemed to stand in the way for the old man to easily heal and avoid prejudices and anxieties. "It's a balancing act that, between trust and caution. I understand and hope that joy makes its way back into your life even at this hour."

   As Kaz looked down to Zol Zim Arawn did so as well with a quiet smile. But the hermit's next words caused him to look up, taking the man's words with due seriousness.

   "Thank you for the advice. I hate violence but Death has had the misfortune of making an appearance in regards to my companions and myself more than once, the last recently in fact. I do not know if this is what you sense, or surrounding one of my companions... or more distant beings, but I'll ponder your words for some time."




Damon:

   [Marqi 23rd 2:14pm]

   After discussing events in the captain's quarters with Unali Arawn decided to take the initiative and speak with Damon off to the side of the ship.

   "I've been trying to piece together what I can before we set sail on this adventure. I'm still working on a few things but Unali had mentioned you were able to pull something from captain's body before Vox was able to notice it.
   What did you discover?"



Kiet and the coded letter:

   Kiet will likely know that Arawn has been practicing with the Code/Decode spell for some time if he decides to share the letter and needs help with decoding it.



Battle-Mind spell:

   [Marqi 27th]

   Arawn watched while some among them sparred on deck, practicing their combat skills. His thoughts drifted back to a prior sea voyage and, when the party was gathered together for a meal, he decided to share them for the benefit of the newer members.

   "The last time I had this discussion we were aboard another ship so I think it fitting that I do so now. Especially as we'll likely encounter danger before this mission is through.
   Most of this group are familiar with a particular ability I have to bond us in battle. It's a magic that's found great use among Sidh in the battlefield, allowing a small force to comfortably engage a larger, greater threat - the Battle-Mind. For those who allow themselves to be linked by the spell it grants enhanced coordination of efforts, increasing battle skill and insight into tactics."

   "I mention this as I'd like to know who would be interested in this during battles. It will help me to avoid targeting those not interested who might otherwise resist the spell. I can bond up to 4 other people. All I ask is a list of those open to this so that I know to target you during battle."

   (OOC: For the sake of those asking questions Arawn will answer in a way to convey the mechanics of the spell as listed here - http://powersandperils.org/L_NewSpells.htm#BattleMind
- no need to RP a response but please let me know if you're open to being part of this spell whenever he casts it - new and old players as well as the NPC's, Scott. )



In Kasha (or Vistair, if it's easier for you, Scott):

   Upon hearing that Z'leyra would be heading into town to pick up supplies he presented her with a small list and a handful of coins. (OOC: This is mainly cooking supplies but will also include ship repair supplies if Scott rules Arawn wasn't able to grab them in Sivas. Scott let me know how much this will cost if not already answered above.
   And if an instruction book on how to read/write Fomorian can be found he'll pay for that as well.)

   "I had planned on heading into town to resupply but as you'll be doing so I figure I can use this time to try and teach the basics of swimming to Raddok and any others interested."

   (OOC: Arawn will do so for a few hours any time the water is shallow enough to allow for safe lessons, starting with this day in Kasha. Please let me know who wants lessons.)



[Apris 2nd  12:29pm]

OOC:   If the party ever wishes to slow down the ship enough to meet with other ships at sea Arawn will just cancel/dispel Friendly Current and recast it afterwards. Please feel free to post if anyone ever wants this done.



Languages:

   Does anyone in the party speak Bhamoti? If so, Arawn would be interested in learning it from them.
