Fremea sees the bats and just waits a sec before flying inside.
AND of course, the oversized human has to take a swing at her. Gods they are annoying! Then she realizes there is another giant on the ground, at least they could handle it.

"Quickly, stay as a group. Going solo through the caves is not good for your health, unless you like scaling mountains. It will take a least two members of the coalition to pass the runes. Luckily, for you and me, I can fly."

Getting through the cave seemed better this time, since she could be ahead of them. Once there, she could see that Dorhak was annoyed, good! A slight smile comes across her face and then falls in with the group for which ever direction is chosen.

        [New
Stuff]

        [Ma
10th, 1636TH]


     [Time:  7:18:03 pm LW
time]
        [Phase 3]


   Kiet is getting annoyed at the bats and their mess. If they
are hanging upside down when they poop, how do they not get it all over
themselves?


   Ewwww!  Maybe the do get it all over themselves.
Gross!


   But then the Bes guard notice the bush hiding something.
Kiet, being well versed in plant lore, should have noticed something off
about that. Not a lot of bushes can survive this deep in a cave.


   Hmmm, the chair is interesting but he can’t make out what
else is in there

   Kiet clearly hears him say 'Giant!' however.  Kiet
grabs his tulwar and shield and activates his hopefully not ruined boots
for speed, the runs as fast as he can to get to the tunnel entrance (even
if the speed doesn’t work).



     [Time:  7:18:03 pm LW
time]
        [Phase 3]



   The Giant turns to stab Upus with his spear but
misses.  With his free hand he shoves Kimis to the side but the blow
is light enough she takes no damage.


   Upus swings his battle axe but fails to hit.


   Kimis also fails to hit the beast with her battle axe.


   The King raises a hand and yells to Barbosa, “wait.  I
have an idea!”  He reaches inside his pouch and grabs 2
stones.  He begins to bang the 2 stones together.


     [Time:  7:18:06 pm LW
time]
        [Phase 4]


   Kiet arrives outside to see another giant fighting the
Diumagi. He uses his acrobat skills and speed to move to the side of the
giant and slices his leg doing 6 points of damage.


   The Giant turns to stab at Kimis but fails to hit.  He
tries to bash with his free hand Upus but he moves away in time.


   Upus hits giant in leg for another 2 points with his axe.


   Kimis swings her own battle axe hitting the giant in leg for
another 9 points.


     [Time:  7:18:09 pm LW
time]
        [Phase 5]


   Moments earlier the strange metal inside the rocks the King
bangs creates a subsonic sound that irritates the bats.  En masse
they figure it it time to go feed or flee from this annoying sound.
They fly toward the entrance and reaches the threshold seconds later
flying at chest height to the giant.  The bats about 61 of them hit
the giant as hundreds of others dodge him.  Most avoid full contact
as they fly away at last second.  But dozens hit him doing 6
points.


   Kiet slices with his tulwar and does the final damage to
kill the giant.


   The giant starts to teeter backwards and falls fast before
Upus can jump away he lands on Upus.  Upus takes another 3 points as
Kimis and Kiet rush to help move the giant off the Diumagi.


   The three reenter the cave and the Diumagi take sentry
again.  Kimis helps to treat Upus's bruises as best she can without
medical supplies.  Kiet returns to send Barbosa back as sentry and
he heads to scan the treasure.


   Activating his bracer he does find magical items.
There seems to be 19 items.  A scroll of some kind.  A broken
wine glass bottle.  A landscape painting that is about 16 square
feet rolled up and dusty.  Some dozens of green fine cloth. A tin
plate   A red satin chair.  A iron goblet.  A broken
nightstand style table. A wooden chest of assorted coins.  Small
worthless gem.  A small Jet jewel.  A cooper bracelet.  A
nickel necklace.


   A magical talisman.  A elixir of grey liquid in a metal
flask detects as magical.  A magical sword.  A 13 inch magical
wand.  A magical amulet.  Finally a magical bracelet.


     [Time:  7:22 pm LW
time]


   Dorhak begins to pace back and forth as the anger builds
waiting for Fremea to return.  Where is she?  Did she get lost
or find some shiny thing to play with?


   Barbosa asks Kiet, “we can carry all but the
furniture.  Wonder why its here.  But what should we do with
it?”


   King shrugs, “giants do like to raid human homes so maybe
there?  Maybe a random wagon raided?  But more likely the
Coalition here left it.  Maybe once long ago it has more furniture
and more a oasis than a dusty cave.”



---------------------------


   [Earlier with Fremea...]


   Fremea disappears....


   Then reappears in brightness.  The Faerry's eyes blink
as she tries to adjust to being now back outside.  A brisk cool wind
blows all over her from south to north.  Fremea finds herself
standing on a solid stone surface.  She glances around and sees
mountains and forests.  She moans and lifts off for a better view.


   As she hovers about 15 feet up she glances down to ensure no
gear is lost.  Then notices some pictographs and possible runes on
the surface.  The stone platform seems to be on top of a mountain
with forests all around below in every direction.  The surface of
stone is a pale white about 50 x 50 feet. It is too flat and uniform to
be naturally made.


   Fremea concentrates on the writing/runes.  She is no
super reader of such things. But Arawn did give her some pointers.
As well as Etain claiming that she may need to know that stuff as
ruler.  Which just made her mad.  But Etain was
persistent.  From what she gathers and she fears she is not 100%
accurate it seems to say she was sent here from the cave.  She knows
this already.  Something about to be effective in – it doesn’t say
cave but more like place of origin? A group must be done.  A single
person can risk exposure or damage if she reads it correctly.  It
seems to imply covertly that 2 or more of the  alliance needs to be
explorers.   She recalls the King saying something about a
Coalition?  She only vaguely remembers being bored at the time she
heard it.  So Bes, Dwarf and Elves?  So does this mean to move
about a Elf should be with Bes or Beds and Dwarf?


   Maybe that's why she was teleported away?  She was
moving alone in the cave.


   Fremea goes up higher a few hundred feet to get a better
view and scans for the Eagle Rock.   She spots the plain to the
south and shes a dozen or so miles north so she isn't too far away.
She spots on the plain the watering hole the party found earlier.
So that would place Eagle Rock slightly north east from there.  She
heads that way.


   Shaking her head, and talking to herself out loud,
"good thing it was me being put up here. No one else really could
just get down quickly. Haha"


   She really hopes that when she gets back there, the groups
that are left will be able to go through the runes. Guess she will have
to do a better job of studying such things later, with Kaylle. A smile
crosses her face when she thinks of him. It will be good to get out of
these underground places. Damn, they just cramp her style. She forces
herself to fly just a tad faster, in case something else is waiting to
spring out.


     [Time:  7:24 pm LW
time]


   Fremea spots a large group of bugs fly up into the sky. Then
she realizes they are not bugs but bats.  They seem to circle for a
few minutes then dive back down.  Could they be the same bats?


   Suddenly the bats realize it is day not night return to the
cave hoping the awful rock noise has stopped.  Hundreds swoop down
and into the cave. The Diumagi and Barbosa duck heads and cover heads as
the bats fly overhead only a few feet above them.  They return to
their rock roosts and perch back into place as the smell of them returns
to Kiet and the Bes.


   Suddenly Fremea dives into the cave and Kimis swings her axe
but realizes what demon or rather person this is and holds her
blow.  Fremea pants a bit and tells them to come hurry.


   Barbosa yells, “weren't you in the cave that way?”  But
she flies fast and seems to ignore him.  Barbosa waves for the
others to join and the trio try to job behind the Faerry.


   Fremea slows down when she enters the bat area and wrinkles
her nose again.  Kiet glances up and is confused to see Fremea back
out this way.  She waves for everyone to follow.


   Dorhak throws up his hands in frustration.  He begins
to head back toward the winding tunnel.  But Arawn stops him.
After some consideration the clues seem to be falling into place.
The druid says to give her a bit more time.  Maybe the wards
are  used against 2 or more members of the coalition so a lone dwarf
would be bad off.


   Kiet grumbles and tells the Bes to carry as much as they can
he asks Barbosa to help out carry stuff.


   Fremea leads the party further into the cave and into the
winding tunnel. Soon she leads the group to the rest of the party.


   Arawn and Z'leyra notice Upus has new wounds?  They
wonder what happened.


   /Dorhak eager to move on flips a coin and fate decides the
left tunnel is the one they will go. He raises up his shield and moves
into the cave tunnel.

        GM:
Actions? Comments?


    Next update....Fri/SaT?

        GM:
Had a minor ftp/website issue but Tobie fixed it.  Above is what
Fremea saw and reacted to.  I assume all loot except furniture? Is
taken? Anything to do before entering tunnel as a full party?
