>> [New Stuff]

>> [Windsay, Death week, Storm Season, 1625, Dragon Pass, Genertela,
>> Glorantha]
>> [Town of Demark]
>> [Time: 7:10 am – using earth equivalent for ease]
>>
>> After a good, if slightly shortened, night's
>> sleep, Varo awoke & made her morning prayers to
>> Ernalda, The Earth Queen, Lady of Earth's Balance
>> & Harmony. Varo tried her best to keep to a
>> personal schedule of morning & evening prayers,
>> and tried to remember a short reminder-prayer at
>> mid-day to help keep her in Harmony with her
>> surroundings & do what she can to keep the
>> Balance of the Earth Queen, but sometimes forgot
>> when she felt comfortable in her surroundings.
>>
>> She realized that today she was joining a
>> very mixed company, all of which were strangers
>> to her & to each other, under a new & temporary
>> employer who wanted to walk (walk!) to his
>> destination. She found she was a little nervous,
>> although not afraid. She took a couple minutes,
>> after her packing was complete, to meditate on
>> this new venture & realized she would have to
>> learn to deal with this as a student learning of
>> new cultures in class – only this class was on
>> the road! She gathered her pack & gear, and
>> ventured to the stables, where it was still dark,
>> and saddled & packed her gear on her horse, much
>> to Dusty's pre-dawn disgust, then walked the mare
>> to a hitching post outside the tavern & putting
>> an nosebag on the sleepy mare for an oats snack, entered the tavern to
>> eat.
>>
>> Varo realized she had been too cheerful & in
>> a celebratory mood last night, and realized this
>> morning that although breakfast was a good, solid
>> meal, that the cook looked distinctly grouchy. As
>> she finished the meal, she quietly went up to the
>> bar behind which the cook was stirring a large
>> pot, & called softly to her to come to the
>> counter. As the cook started to (perhaps)
>> complain about leaving her stirring, Varo quickly
>> flashed a copper at her & the lady, already
>> looking tired for this new day, came over. Varo
>> thanked her quietly in Tradetalk, & slipped her
>> two coppers. “For your extra service this day,
>> good woman. The food was good & I thank you for
>> your extra trouble for us.” The cook looked a
>> bit happier, and Varo picked up her bow & sheath
>> of arrows & left to gather her horse & meet
>> everyone at the East gate. Today, she wore her
>> rapier & carried her self-bow over her shoulder
>> with her arrows & backpack. Her shield & javelin
>> were on her horse, along with her other gear. She
>> still wore the tunic under her leather armor &
>> the wide-brimmed hat to shade her eyes.
>>
>> As she approached the gate, she looked for
>> her party members, and began to introduce
>> herself, just her name & where she was from
>> (Nochet city in Esrolia), to the other members.
>> If they seemed willing, she shook hands, but
>> otherwise just nodded with respect. She knew it
>> would take time to get to know everyone.
>>
>> Unfortunately, she quickly learned that Tarek
>> & Dusty seemed almost allergic to each other.
>> Neither seemed happy with the other. For the time
>> being, she dropped back towards the rear of the
>> party, leading her horse until they got away from
>> the more crowded gate area. When she does mount,
>> she will remain in the rear half of their party
>> for the time being. She silently prayed a quick
>> thanks to Ernalda, then turned her eyes again to
>> the road. She will not speak to anyone unless
>> they speak to her first, as she is studying the
>> country around her, Tarek'™s two companions & her
>> own party members. Where will her role fall in this new company?
>>
>> The party enters deep into the woods that
>> slowly turn to moderate size forest. Jaren asks Murask why not use the
>> roads?”
>>
>> “The roads go west toward Sartar proper and a
>> large city. They do go north through serious
>> mountains then slightly turns north east. But
>> it'd add a week maybe even 2 weeks to our
>> trip. In this case a direct route is faster.”
>>
>> As the party moves on Varen moves to the rear
>> and talks to Varo. Varo can notice a strong non
>> Essrola accent. She figures he is native to her
>> own land. Varen asks about her home, her business
>> trips and what she trades. Varo can tell he is a
>> charmer and flirts a lot. But being only female here may just demand
>> that?
>>
>> Around mid-sun the group stops and takes a
>> lunch break. Marusk does a perimeter tour to
>> check for tracks and see what may be in the
>> area. Bears and Wolves are probably the wost
>> aside from monsters. But he returns satisfied.
>>
>> Varen and Jaren talk in whispers. As the
>> Dwarf tells of great battles to entertain the group.
>>
>> Varen nods to Jaren, “if we are being
>> followed Marusk would've detected it. But keep
>> an eye out.” He whispers and one can hear it.
>>
>> The group moves on seeing at most a deer or
>> rabbit. The hunter in the group takes the rabbit
>> down and the party has dinner tonight. As the
>> shadows draw close the sun is lowering but its
>> actually only 430/5pm. But the forest canopy makes it far darker.
>>
>> Varen decides its time to camp for
>> night. The party even walking has made about 10 miles so a good amount.
>>
>> Rocky has no tent so stands by the future
>> campfire as the pit is being made for it. Varo
>> is in her tent as she places items in it for the
>> night. Juno has no tent but is off gathering
>> wood for the fire some distance away – around 60
>> feet away to east of camp. Klorgar has no tent
>> as well but is on sentry duty to the north of the
>> camp about 20 feet on a clockwise patrol. Varen
>> is near Rocky and Jaren by his side. Varen and
>> Jaren have tents but are not setting the up yet.
>> Razgor also has no tent so is around the future
>> campfire ensuring the horses are tied up about 15 feet away.
>>
>> So aside from Varo in tent, 1 on patrol and 1
>> gathering wood all are around the camp center.
>>
>> About 20 minutes into making camp Jaren turns
>> and draws his sword. He stares at the south and
>> hears a few twigs break. As others turn the
>> sentry moves to the south as well to investigate
>> but behind bushes as he moves in that direction.
>>
>> “Hail!” A voice is heard coming from the shadows.
>>
>> Then two men emerge from the dim light and
>> around bushes. “Greetings! May we enter the
>> camp?” They are wearing light travel tunics,
>> leather armor and swords still in their hip sheaths. Varen nods.
>>
>> “We were hunting and...” they get within
>> about 15-20 feet of Varen and the group around
>> the future campfire. Jaren frowns and they stop
>> getting the hint. “Yes. Let's end this
>> nonsense. You,” he nods at Varen. “left Demark
>> and the Commander wants what he was owed.”
>>
>> Rocky notices 2 other men about 20 feet
>> behind these 2 hidden in shadows. But based on
>> noise they are not hiding the fact they are there.
>>
>> The speaker pulls out a item that is a round
>> ball object with a stem about 3 inches under
>> it. “This here is a fire buzzer. It will
>> explode and kill us all and take some of the
>> forest with it. You will return with us or we'll
>> take what we are owed from the others.”
>>
>> Varen stands confident, “bandits are scum! I
>> owe nothing to you or your town.” He turns to
>> the others. “Escort this scum away from here! By Force if needed.”
>>
>> The man beside the speaker draws his
>> sword. Metal can be heard as well from the 2 behind them.
>>
>> Jaren pulls a axe from his back and with
>> swift dexterity throws it at the speaker. The
>> axe goes flying and hits the speaker right in the
>> head. But the blade is side wise so it smacks
>> him in the air not digs deep in to his
>> skull. The impact cracks skin and he stumbles
>> back a couple feet as his other hand is taken off
>> the fire buzzer as he tries to regain his
>> balance. He does not drop the item just holds it
>> in his left hand at this point.
>>
>> GM: Actions? Comments?
>>
>> Next Update...Next week...Tue/Wed?
>>
>> GM: I had hoped to do more. But started update
>> 6 hours late. So to get this done so next update
>> can be Saturday I rushed it out. Let me know
>> what you folks do. I will assume armor is fully
>> on. Weapons on or nearby. If group simply wants
>> to boot them out of camp then it'll be a fast
>> update saturday if combat then will do it sat or Monday if run out of
>> time.
>>
>> So the one shot. One player had to bow out
>> due to emergency so just us three. Googly I must
>> admit did things bad but not so bad. It was her
>> first ever rpg. But she WAS IC as a chaotic elf
>> paranoid. With that said it did bog things down
>> a bit. Even surprised Booty the gm. So for those
>> who were not there it was a modern dnd which I
>> NEVER played. Set in 1990s. So was not
>> prepared. Spells, swords and modern gns. ;) We
>> were part of a search/rescue team to hep deal
>> with those who have gone inside a cave not to
>> return. From a deaf witness who was attacked
>> inside we learned it was some music of some kind
>> or song that made folks crazy. So Player 101 get
>> ears plugged up. I played a Aasmiar Ranger and
>> Taib/panda played a Goliath. So 3 of us enter
>> and quickly encounter a stone golem. We deal with
>> it and move down a passage. Where one member of
>> team attacks us. We incapacitate. But Goog makes
>> it look like (invisible) she was attacked and
>> tries to turn the 2 of us against each other. So
>> this draged on trying to figure out this
>> situation. We exit. I Heal (lesser restoration)
>> the insane person and so we save one. We go back
>> in and find a wounded Googoogly and a dead team
>> mate. We take them out and question her. But in
>> end its decided to cut our losses. Even as at
>> least 3 others are in cave missing. Too
>> dangerous. I was outvoted but the cave was
>> destroyed and so we left. A year later we are
>> watching news. A volcano erupts at that
>> spot. The gal who ran in to find her love comes
>> out and starts to sing. Then enchants the news
>> crew. End Scene. So a possible part 2 could be
>> out eventually. Booty admitted that he had
>> countless Cultist and a lava monster in the cave
>> and we'd probably have been TPKed. Which I
>> personally do not like to kill folks just like
>> that. So its good we did not follow through. We
>> did save 1 which is 1 more than last few times he
>> has run that adventure. So that's a plus. For
>> those who stayed you may have noticed easter eggs
>> from me. My name was Varen Nor Tarek. :) Also I
>> was doing stuff that will be important later in
>> this adventure. If you heard the full session or
>> pulled the VOD video on demand from stream then
>> you may get the gist of the easter egg. If
>> not. Too bad. ;) About a hour till end of
>> session I was told my headset was cutting
>> in/out. We were in Discord and I had stream
>> muted. So did not realize this. It was a old
>> headset. But next time will use a headset I use
>> for work. The other 3 were streamers so all had
>> good web cam and headsets for their streaming. I
>> did not. :) Hope you enjoyed it and I gave you a
>> feel of my style and who I sounded like. :)
>>
>> GM: TradeTalk Experience -
>> From first update. For those who talked.
>> Rocky - Failed.
>> Varo - Failed
>> Juno - Success +5%
>> Klorgar - Success +5%
>> Razgor - Success +5%
