Z'leyra's newly
acquired phobia:<br><br>
If Arawn is
aware/empathically senses that Z'leyra has<br>
this phobia he'll
ask those looking about the treasure room,<br><br>
"If you find
a crystal drinking vessel hand it to me. I<br>
might be able to
cure Z'leyra of her condition."<br><br>

Plan of Escape:

Arawn couldn't
help but reflexively raise an eyebrow.<br><br>
"Seriously?," he said incredulously, though in a...<br>
GM: Ack. Well since I
had no idea in which order you were<br>
in
line hard to give details. Why I asked marching<br>
orders
from Z or others. Aside form Raki/Dorhak in<br>
lead
and Z in rear. So its all random since not<br>
determined. No. Not aware of her phobia. Low hum
more<br>
a
rumble. It is too far to figure out if shifters or<br>
humans. I know I'm surprised didn't want to cast a<br>
Hearing spell. But would you understand the language? :)<br>
If it
was words.<br><br>
From Arawn: [Re: Actions]<br>
The lone shifter
that had remained in the Middle World when<br>
all the others
were imprisoned, did we determine if this was<br>
the shifter that
impersonated Kiet? Or is he still running<br>
around the Middle
World as far as we know?<br>
GM: Ack. This is a GM
must consult script question But<br>
I
don't think you have clearance. :) But no one<br>
has
really worked on those details. :)<br><br>
From Z'leyra: [Re:
Actions]<br>
"Dear Sister,
these offerings were for our gods, not for thieves who<br>
GM: Ack. How long do you
take doing this searching<br>
for
the flawless and best weapons? I have a clock<br>
going
and need to know before shifters start to<br>
roam
looking for those who killed Zin. Do you take<br>
30
sec? 1 minute? 2 minute? Even talking ticks<br>
that
clock down. With hundreds of shifters around<br>
if
they start chasing folks its all over. No matter<br>
how
many you have in party it will be bad. Look<br>
what
was lost in attacking 3? Kell, Lucria, etc. BTW<br>
technically the whole bridge thing with Kiet was<br>
not
known by the party. So I'm unsure how you and<br>
Arawn
know this? :)<br><br>
------------------------------------------------------------<br>
[New Stuff]<br><br>
[Febris 9th,
1635TH]<br>
[Time: 5:01
pm]<br><br>
[Earlier in
Audience Chamber...]<br><br>
After
Fuk vocally attacks Mae.<br><br>
Arawn
had resisted the urge to respond to the man's outburst<br>
when it happened.
The impact of Lucria's death and Mae's reveal<br>
was too fresh and
the scene too dangerous to afford an<br>
explanation. So at
that time he only allowed for their eyes to<br>
meet, his own
reflecting a calm coolness, as he nodded to a<br>
future
conversation. But Mae was another story, the alfar<br>
sensing that she
was not as closed off as the inspector. He<br>
maintained his
silence but laid a gentle hand on above her<br>
balled fist when
no one was looking. It was brief but conveyed<br>
sympathy as he
hoped that it might allow her to relax, if<br>
only a
bit.<br><br>
<br>
[Moments before
arriving in Treasure room...]<br><br>
Arawn
had hoped to move forward upon hearing of the fire-<br>
breathing creature
but it was already too late, Dorhak having<br>
already stepped
around the bend to face it. By the time he<br>
managed to squeeze
past the others the deed was done, the<br>
creature lying
still upon the stony ground.<br><br>
"A pity," he said in a hushed tone. "I had hoped to
commune<br>
with it. It might
be native or even sent here by the gods to<br>
help contain the
other shifters here. If we run into another<br>
I would like the
opportunity to see if we can gain its aid."<br><br>
He
then moved to examine the remains, a quiet prayer on his<br>
lips as he did so,
moving quickly as he knew time was of the<br>
essence.<br><br>
Raki
ignores the creature, "native they were here when<br>
we came
here. There are fire insects as well. But<br>
not everything is
friendly."<br><br>
<br><br>
[At the tribute
cave...]<br><br>
As
Z'layha collects herself and returns Fuk speaks<br>
to Arawn about
helping the Shaman.<br><br>
"It should be her decision, though it would be a poor one,<br>
I think. Aside
from the violation if done without her<br>
approval there is
the fact that some measure of the truth<br>
should exist
within the Moss Fortress. I think such a place<br>
came into being
for a reason, when the truth was still out<br>
there. But likely
time had muddled this and look at the trouble<br>
it has caused.
Secrecy should still cover this place but those<br>
who guard, at
least some, should be aware lest they once again<br>
accidentally allow
those within a chance to escape."<br><br>
"But I will seek guidance on this after our escape."<br><br>
Z'layha returns to the cave after getting sick. <br><br>
Z'layha is shocked by the looting of the tributes.<br><br>
"Those you sacrificed to are not your gods. They are not<br>
your dead,"
he said, gently, for he knew she was undergoing<br>
shock - a long
held belief now being shaken as truth entered<br>
her mind. He knew
in the aftermath of their escape that it<br>
would be a severe
test of her mettle and faith and hoped she<br>
would be able to
grow from it instead of being swallowed up<br>
by her doubts.
"This is a prison, one I can tell you more of<br>
after our
escape."<br><br>
"Know, these items were offered with sacred intent but did<br>
not arrive to
those you might have imagined. So take them back<br>
now and find a
good and noble use for them, even cleansing them<br>
to offer in
service to those you do worship. Or to help your<br>
people for there
is damage to be undone by the mischief of the<br>
lone shifter in
the Middle World after our return."<br><br>
Raki
cocks his head to hearing that last sentence. But<br>
he remains silent
for now.<br><br>
Z'layha comments on not seeing some items for a long time.<br><br>
"It's interesting that you can recognize that. It must be<br>
the design.
Perhaps we can discuss the significance later, if<br>
you're then so
inclined." Arawn commented as he stashes<br>
loot in
bags.<br><br>
Z'layha frowns, "each generation crafts things differently.<br>
It is a matter of
history."<br><br>
"Dear Sister, these offerings were for our gods, not for<br>
thieves who didn't
even value them. Let us return what we can<br>
to those who do
value them. Help us carry out the best of the<br>
gems, jewels and
other items." So saying Z'leyra tries to make<br>
sure that any
flawless gems and the best of the jewelry gets<br>
carried by her or
someone in the party. Any needing weaponry<br>
she will push to
take the finest weapon of the type they can<br>
use.<br><br>
<br>
[The open 'window'
to large cavern]<br><br>
Raki
discloses news of a second way past.<br><br>
Arawn
couldn't help but reflexively raise an eyebrow.<br><br>
"Seriously?," he said incredulously, though in a very<br>
quiet voice, not
daring to risk being overheard by any nearby<br>
shifters. "We
have a shifter who can turn into stone and<br>
whose
transformations are not overly limited by mass."<br><br>
"Raki can form himself into a bridge of sorts to allow us<br>
to bypass either
the hall or the lava pit, although I would<br>
prefer the latter
considering how sharp the shifters senses<br>
are."
Arawn speaks up on this topic. <br><br>
"Raki, our magics are hindered here. Normally we could<br>
teleport us out.
Or go invisible and levitate out. But I have<br>
lost many of my
magical tools and I cannot reliably cast magic<br>
here. Is Arawn
correct? Can you make a bridge that can conceal<br>
us and get us out
of here?" Z'leyra adds to the topic of<br>
bridges.
<br><br>
Raki
cocks his head a odd gesture he learned from Kell's<br>
memory.
"I had...not considered that."<br><br>
Actions?
Comments?<br><br>
Next Update..
Wednesday...<br><br>
GM: A short
update. I got some posts this afternoon and<br>
they were big as well as emails. So the last minute<br>
stuff delayed things. I could've done work Friday<br>
but nothing was around till today. It is now almost<br>
10pm and tired. So will end it for now here. I<br>
assume the lava tunnel is the route taken? If so<br>
will tick those seconds away in my private clock. Each<br>
word spoken and each item searched takes time But<br>
then again time is relative. :)<br><br>
This week may be hectic. I'll be off Thursday for<br>
a college graduation. So I could do a Friday update<br>
then or Wednesday if enough posts/time. I will<br>
assume the lava tunnel though so will move there<br>
unless stated otherwise. I may swap a day Tue/wed for<br>
Thursday so if I do Wednesday then might delay things.<br>
Just won't know till probably Monday. So update<br>
will go out when I can. <br><br>
GM: Treasure.<br>
Deadline reached. I think I mentioned the deadline. :)<br>
So 'heaps' of treasure will be some random factor since<br>
not a exact amount. Since only the below posted<br>
aside from 2 others in private emails those posted<br>
will get the treasure. The bulk will be left behind.<br><br>
I'll be kind and extend it till Tuesday. But keep<br>
in mind you need to let me know how long you spend<br>
looking for specific loot than stuffing bags Keep<br>
in mind I think aside from Unali/Fremea not many<br>
bags around. <br><br>
Dorhak: grab jewelry, jewels (no gold at all on room)<br>
Mae : belt, 1 random necklace<br>
Fuk : heaps of jewels and jewelry<br><br>
Party/Magical items grabbed:<br>
Metal Helmets: 4<br>
Bastard Sword: 3<br>
Short Sword : 1<br>
Daggers
: 4<br><br>
