Game Update #75 in sequence (file #278]<br>
----------------------------------------------------------------<br>
<br>
Admin notes: Wow. 75 updates
already. Time flies. We are<br>
getting to the last parts. In movie terms
we are on Reel 4<br>
which is the last reel of the movie. I
know we've lost 2<br>
active players. But maybe they'll show up
in the nick of time. <br>
-----------------------------------------------------------------<br>
[Recap]<br>
<br>
From Ben'dar: [Re:
Actions]<br>
Ben'Dar confers
with Z'leyra in private, "I feel we should<br>
give these horses
to the people of the village which has<br>
suffered greatly
from the attack on it. We can split the<br>
gold I found
between us. What do you think?"<br>
<br>
Ben'Dar does not
seem overly interested in the castle. He<br>
is more interested
in tracking down the one who got away with<br>
the claw. So
one more vote for tracking the claw.<br>
<br>
Ben'Dar will take
all his gear along on the chase.<br>
GM: Ack. Between Us is
you and Z'leyra? That's noble. But<br>
you did kill the
person yourself :). Seriously. Each<br>
Bar weighs 5
pounds and so adds 10 to your gear weight.<br>
Each bar holds 640
SILVER coins. Its silver bars not<br>
gold. So 3
bars x 640 = 1920 SC or 192 GC roughly depending<br>
on moneylender
conversion rates. That could help the<br>
ranch a bit.
The horses are welcomes in the village by<br>
Zaka and are taken
with pride and honor. didn't you take<br>
out a loan for the
ranch? i can't seem to find any note<br>
on it. All
Gear. Claw. Ack. <br>
<br>
----------------<br>
<br>
From Chion: [Re:
Actions]<br>
Chion will state
the following, "To leave this gear with<br>
the Zen'da may
cause strife between them and their neighbors.<br>
If any is found of
L'P'nth origin, there is little doubt the<br>
L'P'nth will
retaliate. I cannot in good conscience leave<br>
these weapons with
you. The rations, although they may not be<br>
your prefered
fare, will aid you and no trace will be left<br>
for the L'P'nth to
seek vengeance over. Also this small<br>
token may help
with your winter or travelling being that so<br>
many have fallen
victim of late and food may be an issue. I<br>
will exchange this
for the temporary storage of these items<br>
until I can remove
them from this land if this agreement is<br>
acceptable with
the tribe."<br>
<br>
He'll not make to
big a deal of dividing up the spoils with<br>
his comrades. He
might consider setting up a smithy in the<br>
capital and this
would be a good start.<br>
<br>
But if others wish
to sell it instead he can always use his<br>
share to start the
smithy instead.<br>
GM: Ack. I suppose if
folks wanted something of the gear<br>
they should speak
up now. If no one has by the end<br>
of the adventure
its yours. <br>

Octaqi 17, in the 163rd Year
[TH]<br>
[Meanwhile at the Castle]
<br>
Time: 3:15am]<br>
<br>
GM: This occured shortly after
Chion's Teleport back to the<br>
Village.<br>
<br>
[A guard is roaming the halls
from the Barracks. He passes<br>
the Armory where he
knows a guard should be posted. He<br>
stops and looks
around. He figures the guard went to<br>
the latrine area
nearby. He continues down the hall.<br>
Soon a captain of the
Calvary walks by and notices the<br>
same thing. Seeing
a kitchen servant he issues a order<br>
to find a particular
person. Soon another captain of the<br>
guard arrives and they
discuss the situation. The<br>
other captain uses his
spare key to open the door and<br>
they enter. There on the
floor is the slain guard. Then<br>
they notice the missing
gear. The 2nd captain yells at<br>
the first who runs off
to warn the leadership. The 2nd<br>
captain stays to inspect
the empty room. Anger boils<br>
over then his foot finds
a scroll on a empty box. He<br>
picks it up but finds he
can't read it.]<br>
<br>
[Soon the female that Chion
first saw asking him questions<br>
arrives. She
inspects the letter but can't read it as well.<br>
A language she does not
read.]<br>
<br>
[Hours pass before a person is
found that can read the note.<br>
It happens to be the
master of the castle of all people<br>
but he was one of the
last to see the note. He reads<br>
it quietly then out loud
to the female and other men in<br>
charge....]<br>
<br>
Master: "You have treated
me as an enemy. I have now treated<br>
you as an enemy. I
declare war on this castle and its<br>
occupants. Should
you choose to surrender, I shall await a<br>
single rider at
noon tomorrow 400 feet in front of the gate.<br>
The Female with
whom I spoke yesterday will do nicely. I seek<br>
surrender terms
which involve all you know regarding current<br>
happenings in the
northern lands. If these terms are met,<br>
your armory shall
be returned to you. Do not make me use<br>
force, you will
lose every life in this castle if this<br>
happens, including
your own. Sincerely, Chion Blades -<br>
scourge of
L'P'Nth."<br>
<br>
[The female's face goes blank
as anger builds. She issues<br>
a order and her and some
guards rush to the cells. There<br>
they find Chion's magic
on the cell. She spins to the<br>
guard on duty who
stammers. She raises a hand and the<br>
guard backs away only to
be held by 2 others...]<br>
<br>
------------------------------------------------------<br>
<br>
Octaqi 18, in the 163rd Year
[TH]<br>
[Meanwhile back on the plains
- Caladan's Village]<br>
Time: Roughly
9:50am] [Day 48 of Trip]<br>
<br>
[After Z'leyra and Ben'dar
arrive back in camp little time<br>
is wasted. After
about an hour of discussion of current<br>
and past events everyone
is caught up. More can be<br>
explained on the
trip. Food is quickly prepared by the<br>
village females and
packed up along with some good supply<br>
of water. Cetric
arrives with four warriors on warhorses.<br>
Two of the warriors
Ben'dar recognizes from the horse race.<br>
One tried to kill him
and the other was the younger one<br>
who supported Ben'dar
after the race. But the one who<br>
tried to kill Ben'dar
only smiles having gained respect<br>
and hopefully mutual
regard for each other. Now fellow<br>
warriors against a
common foe is far better than fighting<br>
enemies. Cetric
has his gear and drum on him as he mounts<br>
his horse.]<br>
<br>
Time: Roughly
11:35am]<br>
<br>
[As Xian and Trembyl
watch the others prepare to leave<br>
they stay in the
village though a bit reluctant.<br>
Villagers cover up
the crates and boxes and move them<br>
to a sheltered
area.]<br>
<br>
Gib'borah [to chion]
"Your stuff will be safe here. We<br>
are far from
their lands. it would take a great deal<br>
of time to
find out we have them. We are not worried.<br>
They will
remain safe till you return."<br>
<br>
[15 horses are gathered
with 14 riders. Thig will use<br>
his horse as a
pack animal and fly when he can. By<br>
now he has become
so used to daylight work he doesn't<br>
even complain as
much as he used to. With 15 horses<br>
it will be a large
party and hard to hide in the open<br>
plains.]<br>
<br>
Thig: "I'm leaving
Pogo and Ventrius here. I don't want<br>
the claw to
affect them. I would hate to have to<br>
kill
them."<br>
<br>
[He then orders them to
stay with Trembyl. They don't<br>
like Xian too much
but seem to like Trembyl.]<br>
<br>
GM: Z'leyra what about
Corona? Strie'bog what about<br>
Boyzdar? Take them with you with the chance of them<br>
being
affected? Course intelligent animals to<br>
non-intelligent animals might be different. But<br>
its hard to
say with lack of evidence.<br>
<br>
------------------------------------------------------<br>
<br>
Next update Friday....<br>
<br>
Actions? Comments?<br>
<br>
GM: A short update. It has to be since I
am in a backlog<br>
of some work this week. But
rather a short update<br>
than none! Is there anything
you guys wish to do the<br>
night before (for those who don't
arrive in the morning<br>
(Z'leyra/Ben'dar)). Is there
anything in particular<br>
to do or not to do on the initial
trip? I have to work<br>
up on some details and hopefully a
big update will come<br>
monday or friday. But depends
on how much work i get<br>
done this week. Sorry!<br>
