<p>Fremea cures in her head that it doesn't seem like the spell worked to free anyone else. Maybe those things are not considered tame, but either way she has to deal with this damn creature now. She thinks about a spell to use, but really right now, it would
be easier to just use her training to destroy this creature, who thinks it better than her. A new creature that has tried, and failed, to contain her, to enslave her once more.</p>
<p>She uses her training in martial arts to make this things life seem like it wasn't worth going through.<br>

[Recap]<br>
<br>
From Mae: [Re: Actions]<br>
Maelorna regards the herculean action that Arawn performs...<br>
GM: Ack. Just one minor correction. It was south not north.<br>
In the map I list /I\ = North its a arrow of sorts<br>
so top of screen is north. :) This is 99% of all maps<br>
I do. BTW.<br>
<br>
From Dorhak: [Re: Actions]<br>
If Dorhak ever gets the chance, he will move immediately over<br>
to where Kiet is and reach for his mace and shield!<br>
GM: Ack.<br>
<br>
From Arawn: [Re: Actions]<br>
Arawn, so focused on gaining control of both the ...<br>
<br>
"Slay the Tame, Fremea!," he called out, recalling how ...<br>
GM: Ack.<br>
<br>
From Fremea: [Re: Actions]<br>
She has been thinking that a lot of this does not seem ...<br>
<br>
(EL0, since that is all she can do).<br>
GM: Ack. Arawn retracted his statement in email for lieu of<br>
other actions in email. So based on this you did not<br>
hear it. But I will do some rolls to see if you figure<br>
it out based on his eyes and mannerism. Ok. Did not<br>
pick up the cues. But I did a Int Roll and you recall<br>
the Vong thing. So I'll allow it. :)<br>
<br>
From Arawn: [Re: Actions]<br>
A moment later and Arawn had made his decision, hoping...<br>
<br>
"Translocating everyone to Kiet! Don't resist!," he ...<br>
<br>
[As Z'layha doesn't understand Marentian he'll repeat this in<br>
Kameran in the next phase if she's still unable to move/free.<br>
He'll skip including her in the spell this phase because of<br>
this.]<br>
GM: Ack. Ahh. Thought of Z'layha. Ok. :)<br>
<br>
------------------------------------------------------------<br>
[New Stuff]<br>
<br>
[Febris 9th, 1635TH]<br>
[Time: 5:01 pm]<br>
[Unknown Location]<br>
[Audience Room - Current room]<br>
<br>
Arawn, so focused on gaining control of both the whistle<br>
and himself, nearly smacked his hand to his forehead for<br>
missing Mae's control of Zin. It was too late now, her thrall<br>
now translocated alongside the other shape-shifters, but he<br>
trusted her to take full advantage of her newly acquired<br>
mastery. And hopefully Zin would survive - answers and guidance<br>
would prove most useful if they were to escape the divine<br>
prison and perhaps end this threat in a proper manner!<br>
<br>
Maelorna regards the herculean action that Arawn performs as<br>
he takes possession of the whistle. A warning registers in her<br>
mind as her toy, Zin, is transported to the north of the cavern<br>
with the other shifters. 'Damn it, I'm not going to lose you,<br>
not yet at least.' as thoughts of watching his last moments of<br>
life fill her with a cold comfort.<br>
<br>
She curses in Lilith's Command at the interference of her<br>
desires and spotting both the blood on the altar as well the<br>
dagger. Using her wings to help her leap over the altar to<br>
grab the dagger, wanting a weapon she knows how to use.<br>
<br>
Her next thoughts and actions are of the group and she knows<br>
it's going to hurt them. She leaps, trying to fly as best she<br>
can over to Fremea and yells out to Zin, "Slow them down as you<br>
can, my love." she instructs him, hoping he will be able to<br>
survive even that endeavor. She can't bring herself to look at<br>
the Fae in her eyes and reaches about her neck to feel for the<br>
nodule and once found, grips it firmly, "Hold still, it's going<br>
to hurt," she warns, "but I think I can rip it off, mine somehow<br>
ripped itself free."<br>
<br>
Dorhak sees Mae fly over the north east edge of the altar<br>
and lands next to Arawn. The Dwarf wonders why she just<br>
didn't walk the 4 feet?<br>
<br>
God of stone and silence! That weird redheaded human<br>
isn't really human, but a demon! Are the rest of these<br>
"humans" also demons? Dorhak considers these remarks.<br>
<br>
Arawn is almost startled by the sudden leap-fly-lunge<br>
movement of Mae when she lands right besides him. But<br>
he is so focused it doesn't show on his face.<br>
<br>
As Mae leapt towards the altar, reaching for the dagger -<br>
made of the shifters own flesh and hopefully effective when<br>
used against the rugged beings - Arawn made his way towards the<br>
party. In one hand he held the whistle, in the other the gently<br>
swirling orb that was the Cyrx.<br>
<br>
Arawn pondered whether to risk the whistle, recalling the<br>
tune that freed Kiet but knowing that a false note could prove<br>
disastrous, or to invoke safer, but slower, magical methods.<br>
<br>
'Slay the Tame, Fremea!,' he thought to himself, recalling<br>
how she did so on the Vong devices in the past. He would have<br>
done so himself but he was still too far away to catch the<br>
others. Still, there were other things he could do as he<br>
rushed closer to his companions, watching with concern as the<br>
shape-shifters closed in on his allies.<br>
<br>
At least this is what he had planned. To yell out to<br>
Fremea. But even that would take critical seconds away<br>
from other actions. With 5-6 seconds before the shifters<br>
could attack it could be too big a risk. So he only<br>
considers this in his mind. Hoping that maybe Fremea<br>
can sense through his eyes what he hopes for her.<br>
<br>
Whistle or spell... which to choose?<br>
<br>
Fremea has been thinking that a lot of this does not seem<br>
real, that she is just caught in a nightmare and none of this<br>
exists, accept one of her companions minds. But, she does play<br>
along with it for a bit and works on freeing everyone and<br>
taking care of these creatures.<br>
<br>
Once the bug is removed for her neck, she can finally cast<br>
something. She has been itching to take care of these creatures,<br>
since she could not fly. She already knew what to cast, but<br>
Arawn still has not called it out. With her fingers loose and<br>
her sidh tongue wagging, she cast Slay the Tame. But she<br>
recalls from her Vong attempts to kill the torture devices<br>
in the caves. The living creatures holding even one of her<br>
own kind.<br>
<br>
Fremea focuses but the anger builds. Being held yet again<br>
as a slave. Surely Mae should be also going crazy at this very<br>
thought. But Fremea hates this feeling. But she recalls<br>
Arawn's teaching and controls her anger.<br>
<br>
A moment later and Arawn had made his decision, hoping his<br>
choice would prove a wise one.<br>
<br>
[Phase 1]<br>
<br>
Arawn processes the scene in the south. There are 9<br>
being held against 4 shifters. But the quickest spell<br>
he could do is at most 5 people. But who is the most<br>
vulnerable? Who could take a hit and live? Arawn<br>
reqrets the idea of choosing. But he has no choice.<br>
<br>
"Translocating everyone to Kiet! Don't resist!," Arawn called<br>
out, hoping the others would allow his magics to take effect.<br>
<br>
Arawn hopes that those closest to the shifters would be<br>
in more risk. So he chooses. He concentrates and hopes<br>
the spell works.<br>
<br>
But nothing happens!<br>
<br>
Fremea casts the slay the tame spell but she glances<br>
at Dorhak and Kell but they are too far away at 15 feet.<br>
But as she ends the spell the spider-bug pops off of<br>
her neck. It jolts Fremea from the surge in a bit<br>
of pain. But is mild As the blood trickles down the<br>
back of her tunic she unfurls her wings finally!<br>
<br>
All but Zin runs forward.<br>
<br>
Shifter #2 transforms into a large two handed bull<br>
almost like a minotaur but with two sets of horns<br>
at the top. It extends large sharp claws for hands.<br>
The creature swipes both claws at the back of Fremea<br>
with one missing but the second claw swipes in her<br>
lower left just above her waist drawing blood doing<br>
1 point of damage It is a good thing she is still wearing<br>
her armor.<br>
<br>
Shifter #3 turns into a large 4 legged beast with a<br>
long single tusk. It roars and charges Mournath. But<br>
the tusk does not hit the sailor.<br>
<br>
Shifter #4 at the same time as his other 3 allies moves<br>
toward Pyan. But this time he remains in his current<br>
humanoid form. He lunges for the back of Pyan and slices<br>
a line with one claws on his back drawing blood for 2 points.<br>
<br>
Zin re-orients his bearings and moves north west to<br>
the red head demon thing.<br>
<br>
[Phase 2]<br>
<br>
Arawn curses under his breath. The shifters are faster<br>
than he expected. Now three of his friends are under<br>
attack. But there is hope. Fremea seems to be free.<br>
<br>
Arawn sees Z'layha relatively safe but repeats his<br>
warning in Kameran. But he now has targets to choose<br>
from to keep them safe. He chooses Dorhak, Unali,<br>
Pyan and Kell. But who for the 5th target? This leaves<br>
Unali, Z'leyra, Fuk and Z'layha. Fuk might be just far<br>
enough to avoid immediate attack. Unali and Z'leyra<br>
are strong people and should handle attacks. So he<br>
chooses Fuk. Suddenly all 5 appear by Kiet. He had<br>
hoped to move toward Kiet to help free them but<br>
he could not cast magic and move.<br>
<br>
Z'layha can now move some of her fingers.<br>
<br>
Fremea twirls around and leaps to the air. She knows<br>
she has no weapons but she is a weapon. She stares<br>
at the bull creature and leaps onto his back. Twisting<br>
with both hands she twists one of his horns and then<br>
moves to his eyes. Her fingers pierce the eyes and<br>
the shifter screams. She knows the shifter could just<br>
probably re-form new eyes. But it is something.<br>
<br>
Bull-Shifter #2 bucks trying to get Fremea off her<br>
back. But she is so small it is like a elephant getting<br>
rid of a fly. It decides to claw upwards with both<br>
claws. One misses but the left one scrapes against<br>
her left breast giving only a light touch as the armor<br>
protects her.<br>
<br>
Tusk-creature-Shifter #3 charges Unali but Z'layha<br>
yells out to warn her and this startles the shifter<br>
and his tusk misses her by a half inch.<br>
<br>
Shifter #4 moves toward Z'leyra. The shifter claws<br>
both times at her and one misses her side. But the<br>
other does hit but her armor protects her.<br>
<br>
Oblivious Zin moves past Tusk-Shifter and moves north<br>
right toward the altar. He ends up about 10 feet south<br>
of the altar looking at Mae.<br>
<br>
Kiet is getting very annoyed at not finding his other<br>
ring. He is wearing one but where is the other? He<br>
continues to spill sling projectiles and bag contents<br>
all over the ground. Then suddenly he is surrounded by<br>
five others! But they just stare and contorts their<br>
faces trying to free themselves. He hopes they are<br>
not after his gear!<br>
<br>
Fuk yells at Kiet who is only a foot away. "Dagger in<br>
my mouth!" Fuk figures if the acrobat will not do anything<br>
he'll at least kill with his head. At least its better<br>
than this so called entertainer.<br>
<br>
[Phase 3]<br>
<br>
Actions? Comments?<br>
<br>
Next Update.. Wednesday...<br>
<br>
GM: I will just do 2 phases. Mainly to allow new actions.<br>
I will do the next update Wednesday afternoon starting<br>
around noon EST. Hope to be done by 8pm ESt. Since<br>
I have a podcast that night I help with. Darn. The<br>
shifters had SUCKY rolls. I'll hope for better next<br>
update. So next update will be short again.<br>
<br>
I assume Arawn will try to translocate the rest toward<br>
Kiet (Unali, Z'layha, Fuk, Z'leyra). If those folks<br>
do not want to go let me know. Unless actions or changed<br>
Arawn will try to use the whistle and hope he doesn't<br>
cause brains to explode. :)<br>
<br>
GM: Arawn - I assume go with emailed actions. Whistle and<br>
try to get the last toward Kiet (aside from Fremea).<br>
Sadly first spell failed which was super rare. If<br>
you need phase 4 stuff let me know<br>
<br>
Fremea You are free. Your post didn't say what spell<br>
to cast once free? Want to brawl or use martial<br>
arts or a spell?<br>
<br>
Mae - Z'layha's dagger in your hand.<br>
<br>
GM: Movement -<br>
Free - Mae, Arawn, Fremea<br>
