[Recap]<br>
<br>
From Kiet: [Re: Actions]<br>
Kiet will hold up short and thrust his Tulwar into the<br>
ground. Then try to cast the Infinite Sight spell at Max EL<br>
once again. It's hard to fight what he can't see. Recast<br>
until it works.<br>
<br>
Then cast max EL Iron Skin once, grab Tulwar and slash away.<br>
GM: Ack. There is that burning bush (just no gods using it to<br>
speak yet). But yeah vines are hard to target at night.<br>
I guess no one condones you taking the worthless gem. :<<br>
<br>
From Dorhak: [Re: Actions]<br>
Dorhak is shocked to see the shogging plants attacking! He<br>
lays about with his mace, wishing he had his axe handy, but<br>
there wasn't time to grab it. He'll do his best to help the<br>
others.<br>
<br>
"The shogging plants are alive!"<br>
<br>
Then he starts singing while he fights!<br>
<br>
Come, come! Saucy wenches and good mannered fellows, That...<br>
GM: Ack. Being new I want to explain that song will take time.<br>
1 Phase to warn others. Another 13-15 phases to sing the<br>
rest (42 seconds or so) and combat may be over by then. :)<br>
<br>
From Mae: [Re: Actions]<br>
In the span of a few heartbeats, Maelorna can see that..<br>
<br>
(Summoning Gwyligi, Max EL).<br>
GM: Ack.<br>
<br>
From Z'leyra: [Re: Actions]<br>
Not noticing the vines Z'leyra uses Pyan's shirt to apply<br>
pressure to the wound, slowing or stopping the bleeding. Then<br>
(if not aware of being attacked) she will cast EL0 Healing Mist<br>
heal Pyan to full Health.<br>
<br>
If aware of being attacked she will either deal with the threat<br>
or heal Pyan depending on the danger she sees in the threat and<br>
likelyhood of others dealing with it quickly.<br>
GM: Ack.<br>
<br>
From Mournath: [Re: Actions]<br>
Standing over his fallen, new companion, Mournath...<br>
GM: Ack.<br>
<br>
From Kell: [Re: Actions]<br>
Kell once again says a prayer of thanks. This is the...<br>
<br>
[OOC - Stay and keep Pyan from death.]<br>
GM: Ack.<br>
<br>
-----------------------------<wbr>------------------------------<wbr>-<br>
[New Stuff]<br>
<br>
[Febris 4th, 1635TH]<br>
[Kameran Lands - Forest South of Kameran capital]<br>
<br>
[Time: 4:05:09 am]<br>
[Phase 3]<br>
<br>
Arawn notices Z'leyra's expression and starting the gestures<br>
for a healing spell. But Arawn knows that spell will kill<br>
him for good. He waves a hand and grunts to stop Z'leyra. There<br>
is simply no time to explain.<br>
<br>
Arawn kneels down at Pyan's side and casts a energy spell<br>
to deplete Pyan's energy. Physical healing would not cure<br>
his energy loss which is almost completely gone if not gone<br>
already. His body may still be around thanks to Kell's wand<br>
but his spirit may already be preparing to depart.<br>
<br>
Being a priest he is able to handle the spirit if needed.<br>
But he needs to act fast and give Pyan some energy from<br>
Arawn. He places hands on Pyan's chest and speaks the words<br>
learnt long ago. A dull brown energy flow leaves the druid's<br>
hands and soon begins to spread into Pyan's body. The energy<br>
turns from a dull brown to a dark brown to orange and then<br>
pale to show that it begins to give substance to Pyan's body.<br>
<br>
Arawn hates to stop Z'leyra but if she had healed at the<br>
same time his death chance would've climbed. He needed<br>
energy not physical help at this point. Once the wand is removed<br>
then Pyan will probably be critical again.<br>
<br>
Kiet recasts his infinite Sight spell and the darkness shrinks<br>
away revealing the landscape as if day. So this is how the<br>
elves see. It is not perfect night vision but it is good<br>
enough. He looks to the ground and sees the green and red<br>
vines. They are small at tips but thick as a sausage for<br>
the most part so shouldn't be too hard to hack.<br>
<br>
Fremea casts her Fire Arrow spell and sees the bow knock glow<br>
slightly from the magic.<br>
<br>
In the span of a few heartbeats, Maelorna can see that two of<br>
her new companions are hurt. One still upon the ground, while<br>
the other still up on his knees. Both with sundered armor<br>
revealing ruined flesh underneath dripping blood. Then the<br>
motions of the plant catch her eye as she can just make them<br>
out and follow their movements.<br>
<br>
'Do it little one, after all flesh is only fleeting, after<br>
all, you want to help them.' the sibiliant voice in her head<br>
purrs and taunting with delight as it reveals the image of what<br>
might help. The hint of a terror inducing howl and baleful gaze<br>
as glowing crimson eyes glare at her hungrily in the darkness.<br>
Maelorna starts to utter the first phrases of summoning and<br>
binding to her will. She hopes the spell worked but knows it<br>
will take a few seconds to find out.<br>
<br>
With the light of the burning bush to guide him again Corona dives<br>
toward the vines. This time there are more around so he tries to<br>
target the far east part of the vines about 10 feet to east of<br>
those around Pyan. His eyes unleash a magical blast but the<br>
eagle's fire dart only impacts the ground sparking a few sparks.<br>
<br>
Hovering only 10 feet away, realizing the vines could probably<br>
reach her, Fremea fires his bow at one of the green vines hitting<br>
it with luck doing 10 points of damage. The arrow enhanced by<br>
the fire magic. The vine is severed in half and dies.<br>
<br>
Unali who exited her tent in cover of darkness and in her dark<br>
black clothing took the opportunity to flank the area. As she<br>
moved north west she saw the vines moved and realized it has to<br>
be a creature or a plant. She scans to the far east tracing the<br>
red colorful vines, using the burning bush as light, to a tree<br>
some distance away. The tree is tall and thick with bushes all<br>
around the base. But she notices fat wobbling vines moving this<br>
way and that. If she can cut them at the base it would stop the<br>
vine ends doing damage. Hoping Z'leyra's magical dagger will<br>
give her warning of any attacks she moves and pulls now both<br>
magical daggers. She wonders how does one ambush a tree? Do<br>
you sneak up and attack or can it sense you? Maybe the tree<br>
senses heat or energy from victims like a plant sensing a fly<br>
coming nearby. If that is the case she will be a big target.<br>
But she has to prevent more damage. But wait Kell did say<br>
the new earth bridge dagger he made has defense against mana<br>
sensing? Maybe that means she is blocked from the tree<br>
detecting her? The magical dagger hits the base of the green<br>
vines slicing a bit of bush with it. The dagger does 14<br>
points to the vine severing the vine from the tree. The<br>
earth dagger does 21 points of damage to another green vine<br>
base cleaving it in two with the force of Unali's blow.<br>
<br>
Standing over his fallen, new companion, Mournath scans<br>
the treeline. He senses the motion but can not clearly see<br>
the beast that has attacked. "For the sake of all our lives,<br>
move the fallen and wounded back to the light!" He shouts.<br>
<br>
Mournath sees the flaming arrow impact on one vine and realizes<br>
that is where the attack is coming from. He counts six in<br>
total half green and half red. But the green seems to all be<br>
motionless. Is that a trick to lull them into false bravado/<br>
<br>
Kell once again says a prayer of thanks. This is the second<br>
time his life was saved by his helmet. This time he stayed<br>
conscious too!<br>
<br>
Kell stands as he sees Arawn and now Z'leyra over Pyan. But<br>
it seemed the Priest stopped Z'leyra from healing Pyan but<br>
why? Kell may not see all the vivid aurae like the pure Sidh<br>
do but he can tell that whatever Arawn just did was not physical<br>
healing. Maybe that is why the shaman was stopped?<br>
<br>
Kell stands and raises shield turning around to see the burning<br>
bush starting to fade and now a flaming arrow in one vine.<br>
<br>
Z'leyra is confused by the druid's actions. But she realizes<br>
that he knows and sees things she doesn't. So she continues<br>
to strip Pyan's shirt and make wraps to stop his bleeding. She<br>
can't recall what the wand Kell places in the hunter's hands<br>
does, but it must be helping. Around her she can hear others<br>
casting spells including the new red head. What could she<br>
be doing now?<br>
<br>
Fuk realizes the danger from the flaming arrow and burning bush.<br>
He moves forward slicing his sword down at one of the red vines.<br>
But the vine is too agile and the sword misses it.<br>
<br>
Pyan begins to stir a bit as his eyes flutter. A low groan<br>
is heard from his mouth.<br>
<br>
Kiet raises his shield and while the others are watching the<br>
vines he scans the trees all around him as best he can. Then<br>
he can see Unali in the distance up against a...black tree?<br>
Is that tree really black or is his new magical eyes messing<br>
with him? She is leaning over against the bush of the tree<br>
and doing something.<br>
<br>
Dorhak can feel the adrenaline. He sees the vines and<br>
was hoping for actual monsters. He yells out, "The shogging<br>
plants are alive!"<br>
<br>
To some it sounded like tree is alive? or was that active<br>
not alive?<br>
<br>
Dorhak tries to swing his mace at one of the red vines<br>
but it moves away just in time.<br>
<br>
By instinct alone not intellect the tree senses the danger<br>
to itself. With half of its vines gone or useless it tries<br>
to strike out to save itself. The dead green vines do nothing<br>
but the 3 Red ones act. One moves toward Kiet and Dorhak while<br>
the last vine draws backwards toward Unali. The one going<br>
against Dorhak misses as the small man ducks just in time.<br>
<br>
The Red vine hits Kiet in the upper left chest below the<br>
shoulder so hard it does 5 points of damage.<br>
<br>
The magic of the dagger helps to prevent a much worse level of<br>
damage to only 5 points to Unali as the Red vine strikes her<br>
in the arm slicing a bit of her skin clear off. The dagger<br>
maiden grits her teeth but does not scream. Her training in<br>
stealth that from happening. But she does feel oddly more<br>
tired all of a sudden.<br>
<br>
<br>
-----------<br>
<br>
[Time: 4:05:12 am]<br>
[Phase 4]<br>
<br>
Kiet casts a Iron skin spell to prevent the vines from<br>
doing more damage to him. He can feel his skin toughen<br>
up so the spell must be working.<br>
<br>
Fremea fires another flaming arrow at another Red vine<br>
hitting it and causing it to stop moving as it begins to<br>
burn a bit.<br>
<br>
Unali notices the green vines stop moving. She moves toward<br>
the red ones and sees one not twitching. She uses her magical<br>
dagger to try to slice one up while using the dagger to deflect<br>
any other attacks. As the dagger slices down it catches up on<br>
the bush next to it and falls out of her hand. She hopes no<br>
one saw that fumble.<br>
<br>
Arawn glances up at Z'leyra and gives a apologetic frown.<br>
But the healer realizes that Pyan could still die maybe a 50/50<br>
chance at this point if they do another healing. But he helps<br>
Z'leyra to stop the bleeding. He can hear Mournath's suggestion<br>
to move him but that could be risky as well.<br>
<br>
Mournath stabs outward at one of the red vines but misses.<br>
He continues speaking, "Tend to them there, least we all fall<br>
on this spot!"<br>
<br>
Kell tries to stab one of the red vines but also fails to hit.<br>
<br>
Z'leyra's own assessment is that the hunter may have a bit more<br>
than 50 maybe 40% chance of death. But this is based on whatever<br>
that wand is doing. Once it is removed it might go higher.<br>
She helps the druid stop the bleeding on most of the wounds<br>
but two to go.<br>
<br>
Fuk swings his sword at one of the red vines and slices it in<br>
half causing it to go inert just as the burning bush fades<br>
into darkness.<br>
<br>
Mae waits for her summoned guardian but watches as the man<br>
named Fuk somewhat of a constable she understands, strike one<br>
of the red vines. Then she realizes where is that poor<br>
bounty hunter Lucria?<br>
<br>
Dorhak tries to slam his mace down on one of the red vines<br>
and misses. He begins to sing, "Come, come! Saucy wenches and<br>
good mannered fellows,..."<br>
<br>
The last two red vines rip up and down. One moves upward<br>
toward Fremea but she is agile enough she dives and weaves just<br>
at the last second.<br>
<br>
The other Red vine hits Mournath in the left neck doing 3 points<br>
of damage as it strips skin from his neck. Mourntath also suddenly<br>
feels exhausted as if running for hours.<br>
<br>
<br>
[Time: 4:05:15 am]<br>
[Phase 5]<br>
<br>
Actions? Comments?<br>
<br>
Next Update..Monday...<br>
<br>
GM: Four of the six vines are dead or inactive. Leaving two<br>
Red ones left. Hopefully once vines are all dealt with<br>
things will go easy. Will work on update Monday afternoon.<br>
For those who see the vines (all but Z'leyra) most can<br>
estimate the range is 3 hexes so folks like Mae are<br>
out of range. But its only a estimate.<br>
<br>
GM: Dorhak : Will sing that song over several updates. :) When<br>
1 phase = 3 seconds that long will take time.<br>
<br>
Fremea - Can try to fire on the vines or go to help<br>
Unali at the tree maybe fire on the bush or tree<br>
itself?<br>
<br>
Kell - Same as Fremea or back away since hurt?<br>
<br>
Kiet - Same as fremea.<br>
<br>
Unali - Will assume 1 dagger offense and 1 defense for<br>
the next update<br>
<br>
Mournath - Hurt you can back out of range or help<br>
the others.<br>
<br>
Mae - Reminder no magic while summoning. If no vines<br>
left will need to convince the summoned to do something<br>
else.<br>
<br>
Pyan - Still no comment on your wounds? Wow. So you are<br>
at 50/50 for death if you get a new healing spell. The<br>
thing that is keeping you around is that Wand. It is<br>
giving you +4 (positive 4) hit points. Do you want a<br>
new healing spell or risk it later? I consider sunrise<br>
as the 'new' day. This means about 2 hours to go<br>
as you bleed or drip bleed. But it is your decision.<br>
<br>
Z'leyra - Still unsure on vines yet. As they don't make<br>
much noise. If you had healed first before Arawn then<br>
Pyan would probably be dead for good (80%). So he had<br>
to restore his energy before he could do physical.<br>
So hope this is acceptable.<br>
<br>
GM: Necklace Use<br>
Feb 4 - Z'leyra Dwarven<br>
Feb 5 - Kell Kameran<br>
Feb 6 - ???<br>
Feb 7 - ???<br>
<br>
Based on walking not riding there will be more travel<br>
time so Feb 7 should allow 2 more slots to use the<br>
language necklace. Sign up!<br>
