<P> </P>
<P>Honestly, as long as we can get to the DL and pick up my...um....investments...then I'm fine (assuming I'll be alive to collect). I just hope the HE (or his subordinates) kept an eye on the Moneychangers like I asked. After that, Kiet doesn't really care where we go, as long as snakes aren't involved.</P>
<P> </P>
<P>Also, I can't rightly say I understood the IBT options. I can say I didn't read them really closely, so it's my fault. So, if someone wanted to 'sway' me, I might change my vote.</P>

<P><BR>- <BR> GM: Just doing a mini part a version. Part b will be the<BR> actual update.<BR><BR> GM: Will - I honestly don't recall you having a cabin or<BR> pet even. I did scans of the character sheet and<BR> don't see that info. Man. I must've missed something?<BR><BR> GM: Thanks for all those who voted fast. I think we are<BR> still waiting on Arawn's and Raban's vote. Raban is<BR> probably out of town so no rush there.<BR><BR> New Players: None: 2 Yes: 6 No: 0<BR><BR> So this means majority has been decided that folks don't<BR> mind a open game. I'll do a post this weekend for<BR> new players just once. For those two who haven't<BR> voted you can still voice your vote though.<BR><BR> Return Method:<BR> Option: 1 - 4, 2 - 0, 3 - 1, Any - 1, None - 2<BR><BR> The Any vote would go to the majority. The two<BR> other votes could change things here. But looks<BR> like most wish to teleport rather than by land.<BR><BR> IBT Time -<BR> Option: 1 - 3, 2 - 0, 3 - 2, None - 2<BR><BR> No clear majority here yet.<BR><BR> Will play: Yes - 6 No - 0, Technically not voted - 2<BR><BR> Happy to see folks wish to still play. Makes me glad. :)<BR><BR> GM: Just some clarification on the teleport option. Chion<BR> will need two teleports with the horses. Folks may be<BR> tapped out by end of the combat so transmutes and oblivions<BR> and other such tricks for the horses may not be good. We<BR> just don't know how yet it will end up including myself.<BR><BR> This means Chion would have to take most of party to<BR> Sivas to his pre-arranged teleport area at his home.<BR> Then come back to get the horses and any other people<BR> and gear. Who knows if you guys free Marentians or<BR> a treasure trove then a third teleport might be needed.<BR><BR> It is about 1,200 miles to Sivas but about 1,800 miles<BR> to Dark Lands. Either way it is 1 jump to Sivas and<BR> 2 to the Dark Lands. I know folks need to get to the<BR> DL to debrief, get pets, check on things, etc. That<BR> is understood. I was just figuring folks could return to<BR> Sivas, leave their booty, horses and maybe heal if needed.<BR> THEN teleport to the Zen'da plains to Chion's prearranged<BR> circle and then to the DL. Otherwise Chion would have<BR> to do 1 trip to DL with party, 1 back to Katai, 1 with<BR> horses and gear back to DL. So three jumps where as<BR> 2 for Sivas. So it might just be a bit more efficient in<BR> that way.<BR><BR> Actually it would break down as follows:<BR><BR> Teleport to Sivas then DL:<BR> 1 to Sivas, 1 to Katai pickup rest, 1 to Sivas: 3<BR><BR> Teleport from Sivas to DL<BR> 1 to Zen'da village, 1 to DL, 2 back to sivas: 4<BR><BR> Teleport to DL from Katai<BR> 1 to half way, 1 to dL, 1 back to halfway, 1 to<BR> Katai to get rest, 1 back to half way, 1 to DL<BR> then 1 to Zen'da, 1 to Sivas, 1 back to Zen'da and<BR> 1 to DL to get rest of folks then 1 to Zen'da and<BR> 1 to sivas. : 12<BR><BR> So going directly to dL is far more costly in jumps<BR> due to load Chion would need to take and distance.<BR> So its more efficient to dump folks and gear, horses<BR> and such in Sivas then take one group up. See where<BR> I'm getting this? Don't worry the trip to DL is<BR> an assumed epilog to the adventure.<BR><BR> If need clarification let me know.<BR><BR> Vote link updated with some player comments as well.<BR><BR><BR><BR><BR>_______________________________________________<BR>pnpgm mailing list<BR>pnpgm@abroere.xs4all.nl<BR>http://abroere.xs4all.nl/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pnpgm<BR></P></div></body></html>
