         [Recap]

            From Pyan: [Re: Actions]:
                 As soon at the creature lands 
Pyan starts begging for it's help in his native 
Omavor.  "Please Mr. Guardian(A formal title in Omavor for the people 

            GM: Ack.  A refreshing, bold and different post.  Nice!

            From Pyan: [Re: Actions]
                 Pyan really wishes he still had 
the language necklace on him that time the old 
man talked and everyone seemed to understand him 
as if he was speaking their language. (I really 
wanted to try it but figure He would have returned the necklace by then)
            GM: Ack. You mean Velf talking? 
Raddok translated for all to understand. As to 
necklace I think the slots time were all 
up.  :<  The voice I found now.  Basically the 
voice was speaking in every native tongue so each 
understood personally.  So Kiet-Lemasan, Unali-Katai, etc.

            From Dorhak: [Re: Actions]
                 In Marentian, Dorhak says "Leave the creature alone!" ...
            GM: Ack.

         [New Stuff]

         [Ma 3rd, 1636TH]
         [Time: 1:20 pm – South-East of Ma'Dor]

          Minutes ago....

          The others are now about 15 feet from 
the Altar when a booming voice is 
heard.  “Guardianship is a privilege.  Who claims?”

          Pyan looks to Kiet and is 
confused.  Why his this man using his native tongue?

            It takes a moment since he is used to 
everyone talking Omavor, but Pyan is even more 
confused when he realized that the others seem to 
understand him. "Is he using magic to 
communicate?" Pyan doesn't say out loud but his 
thoughts instantly turn to the necklace which was 
explained to him as giving the user the ability 
to communicate in the way that people are trying 
to use on you. 'If only I hadn't returned it...'


         [Time: 1:23 pm – South-East of Ma'Dor]

            As soon at the creature lands Pyan 
starts begging for it's help in his native 
Omavor.  "Please Mr. Guardian(A formal title in 
Omavor for the people that formerly had the duty 
of guarding the tribe but have now retired). I 
know it's now are responsibility and you desire a 
rest but we need your help protecting it from 
Velf and his allies." Wasting no time because he 
thinks a fight between it and the creature will 
break out ether because it doesn't know it's no 
longer the guardian or because the party will assume it's hostile.

            In Marentian, Dorhak says "Leave the creature alone!"

            In dwarvish elder, he says to the 
creature "you know I am no threat.  We want to 
stop this guy" he hooks a thumb at the Fomorian 
"from walking away with whatever it is he has."

            He still readies shield and mace while he talks.

            Velf hears this from the dwarf and 
sneers, “you would've been rich!” in Fomorian 
then to dwarf, “but traitors die!”

            Raddok blinks.  Velf can understand 
Dwarf Elder or was he just faking it or does he know dwarf curses?

            Unali draws both daggers and slips 
into the darkness of the walls moving back to the scholar.

            Kiet flexes his hands ready to flame either Velf or the creature.

            The creature turns to Pyan and blinks 
it does this a few times as if focusing on the 
hunter or using some other form of vision 
spectrum or sense.  It lumbers toward Pyan and 
ends up 2 feet away.  It could bite his head off 
but instead sniffs the hunter.

            Arawn can't see the creature past the 
stone pillar in front of the altar-stand and 
frowns.  He knows based on that half second of 
yellow he did see fall it is important.  Then 
Dorhak and Pyan speak.  He steps off the platform 
are and comes around no time to read the 
runes.  He studies the creature and reaches out his good will toward it.

            As Unali moves she notices the 
dwarf-knigt-armor-suits are moving.  She curses 
to herself but if she yells out she'll lose her 
advantage to getting close to Velf.

            On the altar-platform-stand a rune 
glows. Triggered by events in the last few seconds.

            Behind Velf a slight rumble is heard.  He jumps away and turns.

            The creature turns to Dorhak and 
stares and sniffs.  It raises his head and roars 
and charges.  Dorhak draws his shield and braces.

            To which the creature runs toward and 
then past Dorhak – toward the back of cave toward Velf.

            Then suddenly the suits above all in 
unison jump off their ledge and land on the 
ground with a loud clank of bone and metal.  All 
the size of dwarfs with pole arms or maces and 
shields.  Those who see them notice glint of bone 
between joins in the armor that show they are 
either dead, skeletons or magical creations.

            At the same time a gust of wind blows 
from the center back wall.  But dust and debris 
is now thrown out – just air.  A small circular pure white portal glows.

            The creature bites toward Velf but is shocked by the energy shield.

            Velf doesn't take chances with the creature and rushes the portal.

            Barbosa yells, “no!” Then rushes as does Dorhak.

            Kiet raises his fingers but the 
creature is in the way!  If the creature is 
'friendly' is it wrong to kill it?  Dorhak did 
order to leave the creature alone.

            Unali rushes Velf now only feet 
away.  She swings high and medium toward the 
scholar and the shield deflects her blow.  She 
kicks and spins to trip the scholar but he leaps 
away.  Then dashes through the portal and disappears.

            The creature lumbers toward the 
portal and tries to go through but it seem sot be 
only man sized.  Unali now can't see the portal as the beast blocks access.

            The dwarf-suits start marching toward 
the party and lowering weapons ready to attack.

         Actions? Comments?

         Next Update...Monday?

         GM: A fun spot to end? :) Exit blocked 
by tons of rock.  Magic to enter the cave is 
still probably up and so magic to leave is 
probably useless – Arawn guesses.  Now a small 
army of automatons are itching for battle.  Will 
try update Monday since I work next Friday it 
will have to be Monday or delayed by days.  Map 
is below since its near 1am I will generate what 
weapons the sits are holding later.  The suits 
are chain or plate which is rare for dwarfs.  For 
light in the cave the torches are above the suits 
on wall at same spots about 15 feet up.  They 
light up about 15 feet in diameter.  If questions 
let me know.  Had to handle a few emails for this 
update so I'll handle when I can.
