He desired to ask further questions but realized that this was likely neither the time nor place. Fittingly as only moments later the tavern broke into minor chaos. As Elam and the party raced to cover the Chion and the assassins sudden appearance Arawn barely suppressed the urge to roll his eyes into the back of his head. All this fuss over nothing, everyone was acting as if there was something to hide. In Arawn's eyes this was simple, an altercation between an assassin and those who defended themselves, nothing more. If the authorities could not determine that then they deserved whatever the party could throw at them. But right now everyone was
running around as if it were the end of the world. </DIV>

----------------------------------------------------------------<BR> <BR> Admin notes: None. <BR> -----------------------------------------------------------------<BR> [Recap]<BR><BR> From Unali: [Re: Actions]<BR> Unali: "Thanks, Raban, for the blessing. Seems that I could<BR> use it as things stand."<BR><BR> [Rest of email deleted as a simple quoted repeat]<BR> GM: Ack. A bit of a future response but good enough. <BR><BR> ---------------------------<BR><BR> From Chion: [Re: actions]<BR> "My contacts were all in Sivas city. How did I find out<BR> about
her? Very simple. When my associates were jailed I<BR> noticed her talking to others."<BR><BR> Chion will add a few more questions, "What are the names of<BR> your contacts in Sivas City? What are they called now? What<BR> is the name of your associate that was jailed by Unali's<BR> actions?"<BR><BR> He will look at Fremea and say (loud enough for everyone to<BR> hear), "Well, what would you like to do with him? I am leaning<BR> towards turning him in, to the guards, after wiping his mind<BR> of our conversation.<BR><BR> But we could just as easily wipe his mind completely and let<BR>
him go. They made it seem somewhat important that we return with<BR> him alive. But, personally, at this point I don't care." (he<BR> will look back at Kel to see if he is concerned at where the<BR> conversation is going) "There is nothing to say that he was not<BR> dead when we teleported out, after all, he was lieing "deadish"<BR> on the ground."<BR><BR> Smiling at Kel Chion will give out, "Unali is fine. Are you<BR> saying that your means of getting answers are less than one<BR> hundred percent? If so, perhaps I will send you back and finish<BR> the interrogation myself?" He seems a little annoyed at her,<BR>
but smiles nicely. "Besides, I have plenty of time to get<BR> whereever I want to go."<BR> GM: Ack. <BR><BR> ---------------------------<BR><BR> From Fremea: [Re: Actions]<BR> Fremea will look to Chion for anything else. If not she will<BR> walk up to Kel and whisper into his ear again, then turn to<BR> Chion.<BR><BR> "Should we go? If Unali is dead then we need to tend to that,<BR> if not we should find out how everyone else is and get out of<BR> the city. More than likely there will more of these "lone"<BR> assassins and it would be good to leave soon."<BR>
GM: Ack. <BR><BR> ---------------------------<BR><BR> From Arawn: [Re: Actions]<BR> Upon hearing Elam's words Arawn decides that staying put will<BR> prove both less of a problem and less of a threat to his<BR> security than avoiding the investigation. Nodding his<BR> understanding he gently unwrapped his wrap, just enough to<BR> give a decent view of his face to those paying attention while<BR> keeping his other features hidden. As he does so he asks Elam,<BR><BR> "That which Micah used, was it a spell of some sort or something else?"<BR> GM: Ack. <BR><BR>
-----------------------------------------------------------------<BR> [New Stuff]<BR><BR> [Marqi 29, 1633TH. 1st Day of Adventure #4.<BR> Location: Maren City, Chion's House]<BR> [Time: 8:25am]<BR><BR><BR> Chion: "What are the names of your contacts in Sivas City? What<BR> are they called now? What is the name of your associate that<BR> was jailed by Unali's actions?"<BR><BR> Kel: "Priestess Amel was the only one I reported to and took<BR> orders from. She's probably executed by now. The merchant<BR> Kromin was jailed but he was just a contact for us when<BR> we needed help or supplies. There are dozens of others<BR>
in the group but I don't ask their names and they don't ask<BR> my names. Its safer that way. All likely jailed and<BR> captured by now by the guards. I knew of no one here in<BR> Maren city." [He looks to Chion to confirm where he might<BR> be but Chion remains expressionless.] "So I guess it's<BR> another finger or my hand? I may not work for a guild but<BR> clearly you seem to be. Aren't there rules on harming<BR> other assassins?" <BR><BR> [Chion turns to Fremea and speaks loud enough for the trio<BR> to hear. He ignores the comments and subtle threat. Who<BR>
would find out? He'll likely be killed or thrown in the<BR> deepest hole the guards can find.]<BR><BR> Chion: "Well, what would you like to do with him? I am leaning<BR> towards turning him in, to the guards, after wipeing his mind<BR> of our conversation.<BR><BR> But we could just as easily wipe his mind completely and let<BR> him go. They made it seem somewhat important that we return<BR> with him alive. But, personally, at this point I don't care."<BR> (he will look back at Kel to see if he is concerned at where the<BR> conversation is going) "There is nothing to say that he was not<BR> dead when we teleported out,
after all, he was lieing "deadish"<BR> on the ground."<BR><BR> [Kel yawns and shows no expression other than his yawn. He<BR> shrugs as if not caring.]<BR><BR> Kel: "Never been around Climan Priestess's before? I've seen<BR> them transmute a man's...ahh...body into things you'd not<BR> want to be turned into. I know I'm a dead man either way.<BR> My job is done and she is dead."<BR><BR> [Chion smiles at Kel and flips the bloody knife in his hand<BR> and slaps his wrist.]<BR><BR> Chion: "Unali is fine. Are you saying that your means of getting<BR> answers are less than one hundred percent? If so, perhaps
I<BR> will send you back and finish the interrogation myself?" [He<BR> seems a little annoyed at her, but smiles nicely.] "Besides, I<BR> have plenty of time to get whereever I want to go."<BR><BR> [Kel grits his teeth and jerks in the chair for the first time.]<BR><BR> Kel: "You lie! She has to be dead. I saw the dart hit her.<BR> The poison is fast acting and she'd be dead in four or five<BR> seconds at most. I paid good money for it!"<BR><BR> [Chion stands and smirks. He walks over to the table and places<BR> the kitchen knife on the far corner cooking area tabletop.<BR> He thinks that he has learned all he can at this
time. There<BR> seems to be a missing piece of the puzzle he doesn't know.<BR> If it was simple revenge why didn't he hear thugs if he had<BR> money for poison? Take her out alone. Kel must've escaped<BR> and must be in the magical crystal ball of the city guards.<BR> If that's the case maybe they have magic to locate him. That<BR> dart for instance. Chion can't recall where the dart was<BR> when he teleported back. He loses his smirk for a few seconds<BR> and then turns back around smiling to irritate Kel.]<BR><BR> [When Chion turns around Fremea is at Kel again and whispering<BR> in her
ear. What is this strange Faerry doing to Kel?<BR> Tormenting him or commanding him with her Faerry ways?]<BR><BR> Fremea: "Should we go? If Unali is dead then we need to tend to<BR> that, if not we should find out how everyone else is and get<BR> out of the city. More than likely there will more of these<BR> "lone" assassins and it would be good to leave soon."<BR><BR> GM: Opps that reversed Chion's comment on Unali :<<BR><BR> [Chion lets a small grumble out, but low enough that no one<BR> can hear. Kel seems to look at Fremea confused wondering<BR> if Unali is alive or not and hope in his eyes that she is dead.]<BR><BR><BR>
-----------------------<BR><BR> [Marqi 29, 1633TH. 1st Day of Adventure #4.<BR> Location: Sivas, Marentia, Green Eye Tavern.<BR> [Time: 8:25am]<BR><BR> [Arawn hears Elam's words and nods in understanding. More strange<BR> human protocols. All this hurry up and wait stuff. If you<BR> were investigated in the Upper World it was lightning fast<BR> with a god's whim and powers. Arawn sighs inwardly knowing<BR> he'll have to get used to this slow paced world. He takes his<BR> hand and unwraps the face wrap revealing his face to Elam.<BR> Elam nods but doesn't seem to care
either way.]<BR><BR> Arawn: "That which Micah used, was it a spell of some sort or<BR> something else?"<BR><BR> Elam: "A short term memory wipe and implantation device. The<BR> guards won't know he was here or likely those others."<BR> [He nods his head to the back of the room and the other<BR> citizens.] "Its just part of the job. It won't last forever<BR> but by the time they recall it'll be in bits and pieces<BR> and too late to worry about then. There seems to be<BR> no mind wipe that lasts forever that doesn't damage."<BR><BR> [The three guards at the door suddenly turn when one comes<BR>
in and says something. The three guards then walk out the<BR> front door. Elam looks past Arawn to see the guards leave.]<BR><BR> Elam: "...It rarely pays to --"<BR><BR> [Suddenly a blue haze forms under the stairs in a small<BR> unused alcove. The haze forms into Chion, Fremea standing<BR> side by side with Kel still tied up on the chair and gagged.]<BR><BR> [Elam turns to see the teleported trio as others do at the<BR> same time. The alcove is a safe place to teleport as it<BR> was never used and Chion noticed it earlier. But it draws<BR> the attention of the party quickly. Even Raban stops in his<BR>
tracks to the stairs. Kel suddenly sees Unali in the chair<BR> and begins to rock the chair trying to get up but finds<BR> him well tied. Unali stands and instinctively places her<BR> hands on her daggers.]<BR><BR> [Elam stands quickly and shoves Raban aside as gently as<BR> he can and gets to Chion.]<BR><BR> Chion: "You come back now!?" [He whispers, he runs his hands<BR> through his hair and looks out the front windows to see<BR> the guards talking.] "Quickly get him upstairs and hide<BR> him. I think Jensen is here!"<BR><BR> [Cholan who was nearby clearing a table comes to help.<BR>
Hearing the frustration in Elam he looks to Raban and<BR> waves him over.]<BR><BR> Cholan: "Help me walk him upstairs. There is a ..place..<BR> we can hide him from the guards."<BR><BR> [Raban looks confused and wonders why he got recruited into<BR> this mess. Could this be against the law? Raban looks<BR> to the standing Unali and then remembers that this man,<BR> on good chances, is the one that tried to kill her. A growl<BR> comes to his throat and he shoulders his instruments still<BR> deciding if he should help or not.]<BR><BR> [Elam turns to Ben'dar.]<BR><BR> Elam: "You can you
go outside and stall them for a minute or<BR> two?"<BR><BR> [Chion steps around Elam and wonders who this man is and<BR> looks to the party. He eyes Unali and wonders if he can<BR> trust this man with his prisoner. He doesn't look to<BR> be a guard and certainly not dressed like one. He has<BR> no clue who this Jensen is or what but he looks for the<BR> person who talked to the wall and finds him missing. There<BR> is a city guard at the back door though standing looking<BR> bored as usual.]<BR><BR> [From the back the messenger sees Chion step forward and<BR> stands.]<BR><BR>
Messenger: "You! Cheon! I have something for you!"<BR><BR> [Elam doesn't want the prisoner seen. he turns to Fremea<BR> not knowing her but knows she looks quick.]<BR><BR> Elam: "You we need to get him upstairs without the others<BR> seeing in the back. Can you go to the fireplace there<BR> and create a smoke screen?"<BR><BR> Actions? Comments?<BR><BR> Next update...Friday...<BR><BR> GM: Ok. Short update but the next will be lengthy. Schedule<BR> of events is this. Jensen will appear and begin<BR> his investigation. Chion will get his message. I'll<BR>
complete those scenes so that you guys can know the<BR> actual destination and start of the adventure. Then<BR> you can decide on future things during next week<BR> while I'm away. I left it now so that everyone can<BR> get involved for now.<BR><BR> GM: Arawn - Will assume full face shown but with hair the<BR> ears can not be seen. Which is fine. Not a big deal.<BR><BR> Ben'dar - Wanna go play unruly citizen or something? :)<BR><BR> Chion - Thanks for the return. It'll help speed things<BR> up. Since your email just said return
him to the<BR> bar it was open enough I filled in the blanks. :)<BR><BR> Fremea - Help with the smoke or something else?<BR><BR> Unali - React to your killer?<BR><BR> Z'leyra - You notice the assassin's hand seem to be<BR> red with a bit of dried blood?<BR><BR> Chion/Fremea - If you guys still want to answer questions.<BR> Its okay with me. I'll allow them retroactively. As<BR> long as say you don't cut off a ear or something in<BR> the past to affect this scene. But questions are<BR> fine as
long as they don't affect the future/present.<BR> But I doubt you'd ask anything of that nature.<BR> So if you think of something let me know. I'll allow it.<BR><BR> GM: I will likely work on the update partially Wednesday.<BR> It'll be a busy day getting ready for the trip being<BR> my only day off this week till trip. Tons to do. But<BR> will try to work on it then and if time Thursday night<BR> after Lost of course :)<BR><BR><BR><BR><BR>_______________________________________________<BR>pnpgm mailing list<BR><A href="mailto:pnpgm@abroere.xs4all.nl" ymailto="mailto:pnpgm@abroere.xs4all.nl">pnpgm@abroere.xs4all.nl</A><BR><A
