<p>Fremea stares at the collar (she is mana sensing, the collar and the the woman). Once she knows what she is looking at, she realizes most of the men are circling her, maybe they are just worried about her, but she does seem to be casting the flirtatiousness

[New Stuff]<br>
<br>
[Janaq 27th, 1635TH]<br>
[Zen'da Western Plains]<br>
<br>
[Time: 8:17 pm]<br>
<br>
Kell asks Dorhak about a possible magical mace.<br>
<br>
"You are offering me an enchanted mace..? Laddie, I could<br>
never afford such a thing. I'm not exactly rolling in gold."<br>
<br>
"No charge at all. Whilst normally it costs at least fourty,"<br>
winking conspiracy-like at Dorhak, " or fifty shiney gold coins,<br>
this one will be on me. We all need good weapons with how many<br>
fights we have. It is all the Journey, the Wheel in the Sky and<br>
such. Have we told you about those Vong creatures? Well...."<br>
as the half elf starts to describe that whole story.<br>
<br>
"Besides someday I may request your beard shavings. There is<br>
nothing so warm as a crocheted sweater from dwarf beard hair.<br>
No. Don't ask me about it." grinning madly at the thought.<br>
<br>
[Time: 9:15 pm]<br>
<br>
Once things settle down Kell asks Unali to come with her<br>
about 25 feet away from camp. Still enough to see with<br>
the campfire light. But close enough to do his spells<br>
on her dagger. Then Kell asks Arawn to help to ensure<br>
the magic works. He has his own magic sensing ability but<br>
it is not as strong as the Sidh. Arawn agrees to help.<br>
<br>
Kell had made two daggers, among other dirks. One went to<br>
Z'leyra with the Earth Bridge on it. But now he wants to<br>
enchant one for Unali. He pulls out the brand new dagger<br>
which hasn't been touched or tainted by blood.<br>
<br>
Kell shadow fights the air with it feeling its weight and<br>
texture. He smiles at his craftsmanship. He waves Unali<br>
to sit down on the grass.<br>
<br>
Unali stats to Kell, "Thank you for such a wonderful gift. I<br>
will be certain to care well for such a piece of craftsmanship.<br>
And the enchantments you are willing to place on it are an<br>
almost unheard bonus. I would love to witness you start the<br>
process."<br>
<br>
Kell places the dagger on the ground and asks for some<br>
of Unali's blood and points to the dagger.<br>
<br>
Without question Unali draws her magical dagger made<br>
by Z'leyra and does a slight cut on her 4th finger on<br>
her left hand. Enough that draws blood. She lets a couple<br>
of blood drops hit the earth bridge dagger. Then she<br>
stops the bleeding and cleans the wound.<br>
<br>
Kell sits back and nods. Sitting cross-legged and<br>
with arms on his knees he begins to cast the magical<br>
spell words to enchant the dagger further.<br>
<br>
Kell channels his magical energy and the force of<br>
Unali's will into the magic he casts. In order to<br>
link the metal with the warrior they must be linked<br>
by essence. Thus the blood is the link in that chain.<br>
<br>
Kell first dedicates the dagger for Unali. Then he<br>
adds a weapon strength magic layer to the dagger. The 3rd<br>
spell to enhance chances to hit fails. Arawn stops him<br>
and Kell retries.<br>
<br>
Holding his wand he continues and recasts the dagger<br>
for better hit chance. Next he adds durability to the<br>
dagger to make it tougher.<br>
<br>
Kell feels drained as casting the dedication for each<br>
enchantment is costly in magical energy. Arawn can<br>
tell this and warns him he is drained. Kell nods and<br>
tells Unali he will finish tomorrow.<br>
<br>
[Time: 9:50 pm]<br>
<br>
Kiet notices Fremea examining some plants nearby and approaches.<br>
They speak softly for a few minutes on something.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
-----------<br>
<br>
[Janaq 28th, 1635TH]<br>
[Zen'da Western Plains]<br>
<br>
[Time: 9:08 pm]<br>
<br>
Kell, Arawn and Unali head off from the camp and plans<br>
to finish the spells on the dagger.<br>
<br>
Kell casts a enchantment to boost Unali's dagger skill.<br>
<br>
Using his own magical energy he places a protection<br>
spell and a immunity spell upon the dagger.<br>
<br>
Finally Kell lifts the dagger and hands it to Unali who<br>
shadow fights with it. Twisting and jerking this way and that<br>
with her acrobatic combat skills. She stops and smiles.<br>
<br>
"Thank you friend, I promise I will use this well and keep it<br>
safe."<br>
<br>
Unali draws both magical daggers and begins some acrobatic<br>
martial art shadow fighting. Kell smiles at the prowess of<br>
Unali to use a dagger better than some can do a great sword.<br>
Kell also notices that she seems at home in the shadows fighting.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
--------<br>
<br>
<br>
[Janaq 29th, 1635TH]<br>
[Zen'da Western Plains]<br>
<br>
[Time: 9:02 pm]<br>
<br>
Kiet looks up Kell one evening before people retire for the<br>
night or begin their watches. He's been thinking about this<br>
for some time and decides now is as good a time as any to ask<br>
his advice...privately.<br>
<br>
"I haven't told anyone this yet, but I have been spending a<br>
great many magical resources to learn the elemental language<br>
of 'The Wind'. Eventually I wish to be able to master all<br>
four."<br>
<br>
"I have a problem, however. Progress is slow. I was<br>
planning on summoning an air elemental...a Sylph, to be<br>
precise. But I don't want to force him or her to help me. I<br>
want to offer them something in exchange. I want them to help<br>
me learn the language, spoken AND written. The only thing I<br>
could think of that a Sylph desires is freedom. I was thinking<br>
of asking them if they knew of any captive wind, storm, or<br>
fellow Sylphs trapped by a Mage into a summoning item. I<br>
would bring the item, and elemental, to them for release.<br>
It might be dangerous for 'me' to release them...but the<br>
Sylph could do so."<br>
<br>
"What do you think of this plan?"<br>
<br>
"In the future I desperately want to do the same with Fire.<br>
My rings are dedicated to the might of Girra...I think it would<br>
provide great power to have something like a Fire Lord to<br>
protect my holdings...if they were amenable." Kiet smiles<br>
his biggest smile.<br>
<br>
"You already know Earth Magic. Sometime when you can afford<br>
the time, I would seek to have you teach me and I could teach<br>
you, if you wish."<br>
<br>
Kell and Kiet sit and talk about the elements and the<br>
summoning of them for several hours as the campfire burns<br>
around them and others sleep.<br>
<br>
<br>
--------<br>
<br>
<br>
[Febris 1st, 1635TH]<br>
[Zen'da Western Plains]<br>
<br>
[Time: 9:15 pm]<br>
<br>
Kiet decides it is time for some more knowledge. He<br>
asks Kell and Arawn to help guard him. Then leaving<br>
the camp into the darkness he heads west about a half mile.<br>
Using a torch and bringing rocks he collects earlier that day<br>
he builds his ritual stone circle. He gently places the<br>
lit torch on the ground for some light. But the night<br>
is a blur of clouds and stars. Normally he does this during<br>
the day but he figures even at night the elementals are still<br>
around.<br>
<br>
He would burn incense but it would attract attention to<br>
the camp. While Kell and Arawn patrol within about 30<br>
feet around Kiet, he begins his spells. He pulls his magical<br>
energy from his bracers as he wields the tiny Rowan wand. He<br>
decides he may need a longer wand than 2 inches later.<br>
<br>
Kiet forms a pact with the elementals of the air. This seems<br>
to disperse the clouds over head. Maybe it just seems that<br>
to him. But a distinct cold warm hits his back from the north.<br>
Then he casts his knowledge spell requesting info on the<br>
aspects of the wind.<br>
<br>
Kiet stares at the night sky and then down at the darkness.<br>
A flood of minor words and phrases. He sighs knowing to get<br>
to expert level will take time. But he considers some options<br>
in his head as he turns to head back to camp.<br>
<br>
<br>
--------<br>
<br>
[Febris 2nd, 1635TH]<br>
[Zen'da Western Plains]<br>
<br>
[Time: 6:41 am]<br>
<br>
Kiet gives Dorhak Z'leyra's magical necklace to learn<br>
Marentia. The Dwarf squirms but is calmed down. Kiet<br>
has him repeat the words in Marentia "understand". But<br>
since the dwarf can't speak a word of Marentia Kiet<br>
has to repeat it over and over until he is sure he gets it.<br>
Once this is done Kiet begins to speak and suddenly<br>
the Dwarf's eyes enlarge.<br>
<br>
But then Dorhak sighs as he indeed does pick up the language<br>
but at a simple level. He now can understand basic concepts<br>
but not casual conversation.<br>
<br>
[Time: 6:50 am]<br>
<br>
Kiet gets Dorhak before he mounts the horse. He tells<br>
him he wants to cast his own magic to learn the dwarf's<br>
tongue. Dorhak agrees and Kiet casts the Tongues spell.<br>
Dorhak begins to talk about the Elder mountains. But as<br>
Kiet casts the spell he only gets a word or two. He<br>
also frowns that it seems his understanding is only<br>
on a simple basis at this point. Something about big<br>
rocks and gray peaks. But at least its a start.<br>
<br>
Kiet asks Z'leyra to reserve the necklace for tomorrow<br>
so he can learn Kameri. But if they are inside the<br>
lands by then it might be too late.<br>
<br>
The party heads north toward the hills and forests. Fuk<br>
rides still upset that Z'leyra hasn't done much leadership<br>
for warning about dangers or telling about her people. He<br>
is glad he researched these barbarians before coming or<br>
he'd be clueless. But still the Constable rides looking<br>
at Z'leyra wondering if she is herself or this doppelganger<br>
simply forcing the group into a land to be slaughtered.<br>
<br>
[Time: 6:01 pm]<br>
<br>
As the sun starts to settle on the horizon the party<br>
can see the forest in the distance only about half a mile.<br>
<br>
But is a bit safer to be on the plains and camp then<br>
in a crowded forest. So the party makes camp but has<br>
plenty of wood from the edge of the forest.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
--------<br>
<br>
[Febris 3rd, 1635TH]<br>
[Zen'da North Border]<br>
<br>
[Time: 5:53 am]<br>
<br>
The party wakes up from a wet night. A quick storm seemed to<br>
have rolled in last night above the forest but it did little<br>
over the camp but rain. But it looked deeper into the forest<br>
with heavy winds and lightning.<br>
<br>
Kiet stretches and gets his bucket of dirt and tosses in<br>
his token. He then pulls out a small bit of chicken from<br>
what was once rocks and goes to the fire to cook it. He<br>
yawns and asks Z'leyra for the necklace.<br>
<br>
Kiet asks Z'leyra to speak Kameri as he tries to learn<br>
the language. He does indeed learn it but at a simple<br>
basic level. He hops the natives speak slow and precise<br>
so he can pick up the words.<br>
<br>
[Time: 6:30 am]<br>
<br>
Corona dropped off a large rabbit for the party to have for<br>
breakfast an hour ago. It is meat but shared with everyone<br>
only a small bit. But its protein. But now the meal is<br>
done and the party departs toward the dark forest.<br>
<br>
The skies are overcast for most of the day at least until<br>
the party enters the forest and then the canopy makes it<br>
harder to see the sky. The temperatures today mostly range<br>
from a steady 65-66 with little variation so its not very<br>
cold or warm.<br>
<br>
The party moves slowly into the forest. Corona reports the<br>
river is only a few miles north.<br>
<br>
[Time: 8:15 am]<br>
<br>
The party reaches the river. Corona had tried to scout but<br>
the canopy is too thick for a good view on possible river<br>
depths.<br>
<br>
<br>
[Time: 8:25 am]<br>
<br>
Fuk looks to Pyan, "isn't your home like nearby here? Ever<br>
need or want go home? Its only what a few hundred miles away?"<br>
<br>
<br>
[Time: 8:33 am]<br>
<br>
Some time later the party finds a possible crossing point<br>
At this point in the river which extends hundreds of miles<br>
west and not that far east the river is not as wide or<br>
deep as in the west in the tribal lands. But at one<br>
point the party finds a bunch of trees that had fallen<br>
the night before and causes the river to flow a bit<br>
different due to obstructions. Here the river crossing<br>
point is 40 feet. But the depth is 5 feet. Yet this seems<br>
to be the best place to cross from aerial recon.<br>
<br>
Kell reminds the party Z'leyra and now Unali have both<br>
of his magical Earth Bridge daggers. Kell finds a spot<br>
that the earth is thicker and tells them to use it there.<br>
The party prepares the horses again to hurry but remain<br>
calm as they cross the magical earth bridge.<br>
<br>
The party dismounts and the first dagger casts the<br>
bridge. The first set of horses crosses before it<br>
disintegrates. Unali then uses her own dagger to create<br>
the second bridge. This allows the rest of the horses to<br>
cross.<br>
<br>
While some crossed behind the party others like Fuk,<br>
Lucria and Dorhak find spots where rocks and down trees<br>
allow difficult but not impossible crossing with only<br>
about a foot of water to wade through.<br>
<br>
As the party gathers up the horses Pyan yells. He spots<br>
blood on a bush. Weapons are drawn and Fremea begins a aerial<br>
recon. Pyan being the hunter tracks the blood but it goes back<br>
to the river as if whatever was hurt needed refuge. The trail<br>
is lost.<br>
<br>
Spreading out the party looks around and then Fuk yells<br>
out he spots something gray toward him. The party moves<br>
in that direction. Fremea being aerial find it first. It<br>
is a human form in the grass about 3 feet from the river<br>
but only about 60 feet from the party's crossing point.<br>
<br>
As others move along the river in the thick woods Kiet<br>
notices blocks of wood at the shore. But not normal<br>
limbs or down trees. These are man made piece of wood.<br>
<br>
Fremea lands and inspects the male. No wait. The<br>
person has long hair but its a female. She looks to the<br>
others and waves them on.<br>
<br>
Fremea draws a dagger and sees Fuk the next person near<br>
by. Fremea prods the girl to see if she is alive and the<br>
girl jumps. She rolls over and sits up staring at this strange<br>
winged small person. She begins to scoot backwards away from<br>
this strange creature.<br>
<br>
The girl reaches for her hip and pulls out a dagger of her<br>
own but then Fuk speaks. "Whoa miss." He says in Marentian.<br>
But hopes Z'leyra will be over soon to speak it in Kameri.<br>
<br>
The girl who can't be no older than 17 or 18 jumps at Fuk's<br>
voice and looks over. Then she sees the others moving through<br>
the forest.<br>
<br>
Maelorna looks up from where she sits leaning back against a<br>
tree, long copper tresses cascade down her back, caressing the<br>
cream coloured skin of a lithe body. From beneath the shade of<br>
her bangs, emerald green eyes smolder as the regard you<br>
hungrily, as her crimson painted lips part in a calculated pout,<br>
while she licks her lips. Marring or enhancing her appearance,<br>
a heavy silver coloured collar is firmly locked about her neck,<br>
denoting her fortunes or lack thereof.<br>
<br>
Lucria gasps at seeing the girl and her eyes. He smiles<br>
and passes through some heavy brush and mutters. "Let me<br>
I can give her the breath of life." Then he frowns as he<br>
sees she is sitting.<br>
<br>
Fuk waves a hand toward the man carrying a whip on his<br>
belt, "she could be your sister!"<br>
<br>
Fremea stares at the collar and a bit of rage swells<br>
inside here. Being a ex-Donaran slave she has made it<br>
her mission to study the trade in other lands. Including<br>
that of Marentia. This particular collar was ineed made<br>
in Marentia. But Fremea frowns. Is she a escaped slave<br>
or something else?<br>
<br>
The girl notices more and more people including a small<br>
bearded man approach. What are all these people doing here?<br>
<br>
Fuk turns to Z'leyra who has knelt to inspect the girl.<br>
"Can you ask her what she is doing here?"<br>
<br>
As Z'leyra scans the girl who is wearing a thick winter<br>
coat she notices a bit of dried blood on her winter tunic.<br>
But it seems aside from some scraps and abrasions from<br>
possibly moving in dark forest at night there is no obvious<br>
wounds.<br>
<br>
But Z'leyra notices something in her eyes. Recognition.<br>
The girl either understands Fuk or can guess what he means?<br>
<br>
Dorhak to the north of the group picks up a rucksack and<br>
a large crossbow. The group recognize it as a expensive<br>
repeating crossbow.<br>
<br>
The girl stands up at seeing her gear touched by this small<br>
man and glares.<br>
<br>
Pyan then yells some distance away to the west back where<br>
the party was. He found a dead body.<br>
<br>
As Kiet looks to the river he notices more and more wood<br>
pieces and also signs of items like a cup or a broken crate<br>
or rope floating.<br>
<br>
Lucria squints at the girl. There is something about her.<br>
<br>
As the girl stands she stands 6 feet even and seems under the<br>
heavy winter coat to be about 135-140 pounds. The collar around<br>
her neck has two small chain links with one end broken as if a<br>
force had cut the links. Under her coat glimpses of what may be<br>
quilted armor is seen. She is wearing a belt pouch that seems<br>
stuffed.<br>
<br>
Actions? Comments?<br>
<br>
Next Update..Monday??<br>
<br>
GM: A good place to stop. I still have 2 more projects. One -<br>
benefits I need to finish tonight/tomorrow for sure. So<br>
I'll try for the next update Monday afternoon. As Arawn<br>
leaves us for a time being (player not character) we now<br>
have a new player. Say hi to the girl! Try not to<br>
kill her right away. I am in process of working on two<br>
other new guys so we'll see on them later. At this point<br>
things will move slower as the big part of adventure has<br>
started. So it won't be days and days going by like in<br>
past but maybe hours.<br>
<br>
GM: Necklace can be used on Feb 4 and might give time to<br>
learn one more before meet the Kameri. There was<br>
plenty of time to use it over 50 days but it seems no<br>
one did. So we move forward.<br>
<br>
GM: Private emails: Just a reminder. If you guys talk like<br>
Kiet/Fremea or Kiet/Dorhak or Kiet/Kell that's fine.<br>
Just CC me as you did. But ensure what is private and<br>
what is public. I will always assume stuff in email is<br>
good for the update here unless stated otherwise.<br>
<br>
GM: Adventure #8 - Kell's Adventure "the best trade is done<br>
with a sharp dagger." No. I'll work on that title.<br>
Kell has taken leadership so we move on for that plan.<br>
It may be a short IBT maybe 1-2 months but I'm still thinking<br>
it over. It is based on seasonal stuff for travel. But<br>
we have this Z'leyra to kill and this adventure to end.<br>
Well at least one out of two?<br>
<br>
GM: Final Leg estimated:<br>
Feb 3 -- River/Crossing [Current]<br>
Forest 10 Miles<br>
Camp in Forest<br>
Feb 4 -- Forest 15 Miles<br>
Hills ~25 miles<br>
<br>
GM: Reminder: Map of trip updated on my site.<br>
