[Recap]<br><br>
From Z'leyra: [Re:
Actions]<br>
"Everyone!
Gather what you can. We must leave quickly!...<br>
GM: Ack.<br><br>
From Dorhak: [Re:
Actions]<br>
Yeah! I was
wondering how much I might be able to get from<br>
this
adventure. 200 experience points is a lot for a starting<br>
player.<br><br>
Go
Dorhak!<br><br>
That should
translate into some good character points too!<br><br>
Dorhak
agrees! Let's get out of here. But he does privately<br>
hope we can leave
the demon behind!<br>
GM: Ack. Some GMs do
much less there are optional rules<br>
that
give llmited for encounters. But I figure this<br>
is a
fun game and takes dedication/time. So I don't<br>
mind
giving you guys what is due. I just feel sad for<br>
those
who don't post actions often so they miss out.<br>
I do
CPs at end of adventure. This was mainly for my<br>
sanity. But with folks wanting spreadsheets that<br>
could
be done in real time. But then it would be<br>
unfair
to those who don't use spreadsheets. So<br>
I will
have to decide on that. <br><br>
From Mae: [Re: Actions]<br>
Maelorna looks at
Kiet incredulously and gives an...<br><br>
"By the
Court, are you serious? Do I look like I....<br>
GM: Ack.<br><br>
From Fremea: [Re:
Actions]<br>
Fremea still
feeling the hit from the one she had made...<br>
<br>
"Mae, there
is nothing that I have to worry from you....<br>
GM: Ack. <br><br>
From Z'leyra: [Re:
Actions]<br>
"Okay Raki,
lead us out!" ZX'leyra says once folks have<br>
grabbed their
stuff and Kell's body.<br>
GM: Ack.<br>
<br><br>

[New Stuff]<br><br>
[Febris 9th,
1635TH]<br>
[Time: 5:01

[Unknown

[Audience Room -
Current room]<br><br>
Kiet
closes Kell's eyes and considers one of those prayers<br>
Arawn does.
He glances at Arawn but would never admit that the<br>
priest is rubbing
off on him just a bit. But Kell deserves such<br>
words even if its
not a formal thing. Kiet knows that Kell is<br>
here in spirit,
literally, so knows he is only looking at Kell's<br>
shell. Who
knows maybe Kell could return with resurrection.<br>
He vaguely recalls
how Chion and his shaman trainer Cetric may<br>
know such
things. There is always hope in this world. Well<br>
maybe not this
prison world but HIS world.<br><br>
<br>
Maelorna looks at Kiet incredulously and gives an exasperated<br>
sigh, "By the
Court, are you serious? Do I look like I want<br>
him? I just
offered my life in exchange for his if it will<br>
help him," as
she takes a step back, the dagger in her hand<br>
gives her little
comfort, especially when the others raise their<br>
weapons.<br><br>
"As well I gave Arawn my word that I would not harm any of<br>
you. Believe
me, it's hard enough having to listen to the voice<br>
trying to goad me
into feeding on every one I can see, but now<br>
you honestly sound
like one of the religious zealots I was<br>
constantly running
into or from in the city. I tried more<br>
than once to
explain, I'm not a demon," as she sighs, "Ok, half<br>
of me is. I
don't make the rules and I guess take it up with<br>
the Court and the
Princess as to why I was allowed to be borne,<br>
as it's something
to do with her."<br><br>
She
looks at Kiet evenly, "I do not break my word lightly,<br>
Thus when Z'leyra
asked me what I was, I spoke truthfully and<br>
the offer was
given. If she survived this, do with me as she<br>
chose.
Besides, I've already learned that no matter what I<br>
desire it will be
denied to me. Zin killed Lucria, one of the<br>
two I was drawn
towards and thought I might find companionship<br>
with and care
about," as she wipes angrily at tears, "Then to<br>
add insult to
injury, the revenge I wanted, truly thought I<br>
would have, I only
needed to wait for a few days and that thing,<br>
Zin would have
perished while still being a toy. Denied as<br>
well, since you
killed him,"<br><br>
She
throws the dagger at the ground at her feet, "I did<br>
promise I would
repay the kindness you and the others had shown<br>
me when you freed
me of the collar. So if it will assuage your<br>
fear of me, I can
offer the one thing a succubus that Master<br>
Gniled had
summoned to teach me, she had instructed me to fear<br>
one thing above
all else," as she rolls her eyes, "Ok, apart<br>
from dying that
is, I will give Arawn or Z'leyra my true name<br>
or to them
both," as she sighs, "I will accept enslavement in<br>
the manner that is
more effective than a collar, since I can't<br>
remove my name or
run from it."<br><br>
Z'layha looks at Mae and finally forms a solid expression<br>
of wonder.
Then she places the dagger in her belt. She<br>
looks down to her
spirit cage necklace. She nods a few<br>
times as if
hearing things. "I do not understand why I<br>
even understand
this language you speak. Maybe this place?<br>
Maybe when that
thing touched my mind. But what you<br>
offered a life for
his. Is a noble thing. We have a thing<br>
in my world which
is kina-ma'un. It means the circle<br>
of life and how
life replaces death. It is the highest<br>
honor one can
do. A demon would not do this. At least as<br>
far as I know of
demons There must be something in you that<br>
is more human than
demon. Frankly we need everyone. So<br>
come with
us. They can deal with you later." She glances<br>
to her
sister. "I am very confused by all this. I hope<br>
if we escape we
can talk. But I fear we do not have much<br>
time."<br><br>
Mae
turns to Raki recalling his warning.<br><br>
Mae
sighs upon Raki's warning from Lucria, "Foul them?<br>
Why ever would I
even want to do that," she asks and sighs.<br><br>
Raki
glances at Mae and smiles. He has already copied<br>
that sly smile of
Kell, creepy. "You show up as human<br>
then
that." He waves a hand. "You have more common
ground<br>
with me than
them. We foul folks all the time."<br><br>
Fremea
still feeling the hit from the one she had made her<br>
thrall, thinks it
such a shame to have lost it too. She checks<br>
herself on her
wounds, realizing she is pretty badly hurt. She<br>
collects her
equipment, checking to make sure nothing has broken<br>
or is missing
really quickly. She will find her brooch (1.F) and<br>
have it handy,
just in case, by pinning to her shirt. Otherwise,<br>
she will get her
quiver and her bow out, putting the daggers<br>
away on her body
again.<br><br>
Fremea
grumbles at the mess Fake-Kiet did on the pile. the<br>
amount of
scattered arrows is annoying to collect. She<br>
listens to Mae
speak while she collects her gear.<br><br>
As
they all start to work towards the exit, her mind finally<br>
plays catch up.
Kell is dead, but yet there is this imposter.<br>
Should he come
with us, or die here? Fremea understands<br>
outcasts, being
one herself. She quickly looks over at Mae,<br>
knowing she must
be going through a million thoughts at once.<br>
Fremea has not
care about her appearance and even feels a<br>
little sad that
others will again judge her just because she<br>
has wings and is
dangerous.<br><br>
Fremea
recalls the times in Marentian and Donaran streets<br>
where others
called her demon as well.<br><br>
"Mae, there is nothing that I have to worry from you. I know<br>
what it is like to
keep secrets, even from those you are wanting<br>
to trust and to
have trust you. I do not believe you are evil or<br>
even a danger to
us. Learning to control your dark is what makes<br>
us all equal in
this land." She glances around quickly. "Well,<br>
our land, not here
at least." She smirks a little at her own<br>
inside joke.
"I do not speak for the group, but I do not mind<br>
you being here
with us and very much appreciate that you were."<br>
Rubbing her neck
as she said that part. "Can you turn into this<br>
flying form at
will? That would be awesome to fly with you. It<br>
is fun to fly with
Corona, but he has to do other things and<br>
does not always
get time to fly with me."<br><br>
She
realizes how quiet she had been this whole time. She felt<br>
like when she
first started with this group again. Needing to<br>
hold back, needing
to find her way, not sure who she could<br>
trust, yet it was
not at all like that at the same time. She<br>
knows her place in
this group, she knows she can trust all of<br>
these people;
expect maybe the sailor, she has no idea about<br>
him, but he has
not said or done anything against her or her<br>
family.
Shrug.<br><br>
Fremea
just kept quiet because this was all so foreign to her,<br>
more than even the
escape she took to get out of the Fae lands.<br>
When she say two
Kiets, she knew nothing was right and something<br>
bad was happening.
It would have been amazing to learn what she<br>
could from her
thrall, but alas, it is no more. And good<br>
riddance.<br><br>
"Take the one that helped us." She knows if he does try to<br>
betray us, she
will make sure he is dead.<br><br>
Raki
tries a partial bow and tries to correct it from<br>
Kell's memory to a
full bow. "i am ...you can call me<br>
Raki."<br><br>
Fuk
looks to Mae still a bit wary but after hearing<br>
Z'layha and Fremea
he shrugs . He moves toward Raki.<br>
"Question. If you sent the ...spirit of Kell to do<br>
recon. You
guys can see him. Why wouldn't your friend<br>
as
well?"<br><br>
Raki
looks taken aback. "I...hadn't thought of...<br>
that...that could
be a problem."<br><br>
As
Kiet and Z'leyra stand from their charges of Arawn and<br>
Kell, Unali
collects her gear. It is nice again to have her<br>
second magical
dagger. It just fits so well in her hand. She<br>
grabs her bags
after she picks up a few items discarded by the<br>
annoying fake
Kiet.<br><br>
Unali
digs in one of her bags. The first talisman was a good<br>
try to save
Kell. But if Raki is correct there was little hope<br>
as the flesh of
Fake-Kiet was eating him away. But Unali grabs<br>
a second talisman
with a silver chain and a ruby in the center.<br><br>
Talisman in hand she moves toward Fremea who is obviously<br>
the worst off in
the group. "Do you need to be healed now,<br>
before we
go?"<br><br>
Fremea
nods and gives permission.<br><br>
Unali
raises the talisman to the Fae's chest. She<br>
activates the
magical healing item. The green magical<br>
energy begins to
heal three of Fremea's largest wounds.<br>
In seconds 8 of
her 10 points are healed. Making her<br>
from heavy to
light damage. Fremea stretches and feels<br>
much
better.<br><br>
Unali
places the talisman in the bag and heads to the<br>
threshold to stand
watch while the others get gear.<br><br>
"Everyone! Gather what you can. We must leave quickly!
Now!"<br>
Z'leyra commands.
And she gathers what she can of her stuff.<br><br>
Inside
Z'leyra is a broiling range of emotions. Disbelief,<br>
nervousness,
regret, sadness, anger, even a bit of rage. Out<br>
of these comes a
thought...though the gods may have destroyed<br>
many moons of my
best efforts in putting the satchel and its<br>
contents to burn
in lava - I shall replace them with even<br>
better, more
powerful items! And someday she will master the<br>
arts involved in
resurrecting folk.<br><br>
Upon
hearing Z'leyra's instruction, Mae goes to the pile and<br>
looks for the
ceremonial dagger that was hers. As for her<br>
gear, it was still
back at the lodge. The scraps of cloth<br>
that had been her
gown do little more than tease rather than<br>
hide her modesty
and she seems little troubled by it.<br><br>
"Okay Raki, lead us out!" Z'leyra says once folks have<br>
grabbed their
stuff and Kell's body.<br><br>
Raki
goes over to grab Kell's body with ease and carry<br>
him to the
threshold. He stops. "My people are in the<br>
thousands.
If they find us we are all doomed. Even<br>
your great powers
will not fight them all off. We<br>
must be
careful. But if you do fine...them only great<br>
concentrated
damage will matter. We can regenerate<br>
fast."<br><br>
With
that Raki leads the group out into the passage.<br><br>
Kiet
places his second ring on and secures it as he<br>
sees his friend
being carried out by his duplicate. It<br>
just makes Kiet a
bit nervous. <br><br>
Actions?
Comments?<br><br>
Next Update..
Wednesday...?<br><br>
GM: A short
update. But I started this late. I had<br>
hoped to move folks down the passage. But will<br>
do that next update. I will do it Wednesday afternoon<br>
assuming I have enough posts. Will do a bit at the<br>
very least. Part of it was done in Kiet's BTS file<br>
I posted. If you read the entry on the loot cave<br>
then you can plan accordingly and get a step ahead.<br><br>
GM: I had hoped to
hear more on the things I covered<br>
in my mini post. But Oh well. So this is how it<br>
seems to be so far.<br><br>
Healing: Unali seems to have the only item to<br>
heal that I found. I was hoping folks would<br>
look at sheets or remind me if I missed any. :<<br>
But Fremea is mostly healed with Fuk being the<br>
worst off now.<br><br>
Order: The passages will be 1-2 people wide<br>
hallways. I didn't do this in the mini post<br>
but if Z'leyra needs to set a order who goes<br>
where let me know. Who is in middle and<br>
rear and all that. I assume Fuk would be in<br>
middle for his wounds. etc. If Z'leyra does<br>
not want to assign such order then you guys<br>
can let me know.<br><br>
Raki: To take/trust/kill Raki.<br>
Based on the posts of far it seems...<br><br>
Fremea, Z'leyra (by her command) accepts Raki<br>
in group. For now? Kill later? Unsure.<br><br>
Mae: Accept Mae/Trust/Kill later?<br>
Based on old posts and new ones I figure...<br><br>
Take Mae:<br>
Arawn (he is who he is :)).<br>
Fremea, Z'layha (for now), Fuk (neutral for now)<br>
Leave Mae (unsure if that includes kill?)<br>
Dorhak, Kiet<br>
Undecided:<br>
Unali, Mournath, Pyan, Z'leyra<br><br>
Take: 4 Leave/Kill?: 2 Undecided: 4<br>
Based on that 6 would be a majority. But then<br>
again a player who just decides to kill Mae<br>
I have no control over. But I'm doing this very<br>
democratic like. :)<br><br>
