[Arawn's IBT
continued...]<br><br>
[Decalis 20th,
1635TH] - [Dark Lands]<br><br>
Arawn
asks the Elves if the could make or obtain high<br>
quality clothing
that fits his Alfar status. The Elves<br>
are too eager and
will set 3 elf females to doing it.<br>
IN a few days he
has high quality tunic, pants, belt, cowl,<br>
cloak,
undergarments and ornate footwear. Being an empath who<br>
can speak to
animals.<br><br>
During
the day Arawn works on his Druidic and Priestly<br>
duties. In
the evening he studies his meapthysics and<br>
healer books.
<br><br>
Nice
thing about the Sacred Forest this land is inherently<br>
magic
friendly. Several good places of purified land and<br>
places of magic
casting.<br><br>
[Decalis 21st,
1635TH] - [Sacred Forest]<br>
[Time: 10:27
am]<br><br>
The
Forestal asks Arawn to come and see to 6 Faerry who<br>
are leaving the
sacred forest to travel west. Arawn does<br>
some prayers and
ensures they will be safe as long as they<br>
think
safe.<br><br>
[Time: 7:12
pm]<br><br>
The
Green Lady also known as Strie'bog's mother ask for<br>
Arawn to visit her
forest home outside the sacred forest.<br>
So Arawn and
Corsaya exit the safe sacred forest and enter<br>
the dark
forest. IT is dusk but the canopy of trees makes<br>
it
darker.<br><br>
Suddenly from the darkness above leaps two forms. Arawn<br>
has seen these
things before. Gartula and they both look<br>
male. From
above he hears another speaking foul Kotothi<br>
words trying to
cast magic. But it seems Arawn's defenses<br>
help. Arawn
could simply avoid and go past. But it would<br>
endanger other
Vassa villages. He reaches for his shield and<br>
sword ready for
combat. He had no real training in the<br>
bastard sword so
borrowed a elven sword until he can make<br>
one.<br><br>
As
both males leap at Arawn, Corsaya moves forward and<br>
to the left
forcing both creatures to miss. Arawn tries<br>
to hit one but
misses as it rolls away.<br><br>
Both
males leap and charge. One swipes at Arawn but is<br>
blocked by his
shield. Above he hears the foul Kotothi words<br>
yet again but
seems unharmed. He slices his sword sideways<br>
and beheads the
first male killing him with 31 poistos to his<br>
head.<br><br>
The
other male tries to reach for Arawn to take him off<br>
the horse but
Arawn bashes him away with his sword.<br><br>
The
male leader from the trees leaps down to help his<br>
fellows.
Both charge and claw at Corsaya but she either<br>
dodges or bucks
them away.<br><br>
The
male leader charges and pushes Arawn off the Fay Horse.<br>
The leader bites
Arawn on his shoulder to inject the poison<br>
but it seems
Arawn's resistance is high enough there is no<br>
effect.<br><br>
Arawn
considers doing a repel evil spell to make these foul<br>
creatures
flee. But there is great harm to doing this. They<br>
might flee and
harm other villagers. So there is a huge<br>
risk to doing in
this darkness. So he swipes his borrowed<br>
sword to hit the
creature. But he misses this time.<br><br>
The
other creature charges Corsaya but she gets away. The<br>
male leader bites
down onto Arawn's arm and tries to inject<br>
the paralytic
poison again. It goes in but it seem to have<br>
no effect on
Arawn.<br><br>
Arawn
does hit this time with his sword but the tough hide<br>
of the creature is
too tough. Corsaya charges the male leader<br>
and rears up to
kick at its back doing enough damage to<br>
knock the creature
off Arawn.<br><br>
The
other creature charges Arawn but Arawn rolls and<br>
is not
touched.<br><br>
Arawn
stands and thrusts at the male leader doing 11<br>
points to his
back. Corsaya rears up and kicks the other<br>
male creature
doing 10 points knocking it to the ground.<br><br>
The
leader stands and draws a stone half spear and charges<br>
Arawn. He
stabs Arawn but Arawn's armor protects him.<br>
The other creature
tries to lunge at the fay horse's legs<br>
but can't reach
them.<br><br>
Arawn
stabs the leader in the chest doing 17 more points<br>
of damage to
him. Corsaya continues to kick and trample the<br>
other creature
doing another 5 points.<br><br>
The
leader swipes again at Arawn's chest but his armor<br>
protects him from
damage. The other Gartula crawls away<br>
from the fay horse
in fear.<br><br>
Arawn
fails to hit the leader. Corsaya chased the<br>
other creature
doing another 2 points of damage.<br><br>
Weak
the leader tries to cast another spell but it seems<br>
to fail as well as
his half-spear attack hitting Arawn.<br>
The other creature
with a sudden surge of strength stands and<br>
charges
Corsaya. It leaps right at her but she turns around and<br>
kicks backwards at
the leaping creature. But fails to make<br>
contact with each
other.<br><br>
Arawn
stabs the leader but his tough hide protects him.<br>
The leader swipes
at Arawn but hits his shield. Corsaya<br>
does another 5
points to the other creature.<br><br>
The
other creature gets lucky and jumps on to the back of<br>
Corsaya.
This makes her highly upset and she begins to buck.<br>
The creature bites
down onto her neck and she falls to the<br>
ground
paralyzed.<br><br>
Arawn
hits the leader once more doing massive damage killing<br>
him. The
other creature leaps off Corsaya and charges Arawn<br>
but Arawn draws up
his arm and deflects the creature.<br><br>
Arawn
stabs the creature taking him down. Then he stabs<br>
it again to ensure
it is dead. He rushes to Corsaya. Before<br>
she can suffocate
not able to breath, Arawn casts a Negate<br>
Poison and cures
the fay horse. He helps lift her to her<br>
feet. Arawn
cast a healing hand to heal himself and<br>
then moves onto
his journey.<br><br>
At the
Green Lady's home she watches as Arawn cleans<br>
his tunic from the
blood. Arawn realizes he never got<br>
her actual
name. Everyone just calls her the green lady.<br>
It is some complex
12 letter word for her name. She<br>
is happy to see
him. She says there have been more Humagi<br>
raids and
Strie'bog is off making sure villages are well<br>
protected.
They sit down to a meal and chat for hours.<br><br>
[Decalis 22nd,
1635TH] - [Sacred Forest]<br><br>
Arawn
spends the day at the very small Sacred Forest market.<br>
Not much comes in
due to it being a niche place tucked away<br>
from normal
areas. But Arawn lucks up and finds 6 seeds for<br>
Moonwort and pays
1 gold for them.<br><br>
After
a day of Druid and Priest duties he reads his two<br>
books on healing
and metaphysics.<br><br>
[Decalis 29th -
Janaq 7th 1636TH] - [Sacred Forest]<br><br>
Over
these ten days Arawn continues his druidic and priestly<br>
duties when he
can. Then at night he continues reading his<br>
metaphysics and
healer book. But most of the time he spends<br>
work on starting
to craft a elven battle helmet which will<br>
take 16
days.<br><br>
During
these days he casts these batch of spells. Ball Powers<br>
fire three times, ball
powers - other twice, battle cry, bless<br>
twice, create warriors 4
times with 1 failure, dispel balance 3<br>
times on battle mind
with 1 failure, Elf Shot 7 times with<br>
1 failure, Energy 5
times, hand of hecate 3 times, healing<br>
hand 4 times, Insight 3
times, multiple arrow 4 times, negate<br>
magic twice, negate
potion 4 times with 2 failures, presence<br>
twice, purification
twice, repel evil 6 times with 2 failures,<br>
All sensory powers twice
with at least 1 failure in 1 spell,<br>
Sleep mist 4 times with
1 failure, All sound powers 11 times<br>
with 2 failures, sound
failures all twice with 1 bad failure<br>
and tracking 8 times
with 3 of<br>
them failures.<br><br>
Arawn
also casts wisdom to learn more enchanting magic and<br>
Knowledge to learn
Elder Water. <br><br>
Two of
the spells were abysmal failures. One of them was<br>
a sound power
spell but lucky there are no effects. The<br>
other was Elf
Shot. Two days after failing that Arawn becomes<br>
very
gullible. He starts to believe everything told to him.<br>
When one child
says the sky is green Arawn actually believes<br>
it. When a
shoe maker says that the Forestal is stealing<br>
his nails he
believes it. The Forestal notices this curse<br>
on Arawn and
instead of him gullible for 16 days the<br>
Forestal arranges
for the curse to be removed. But it takes<br>
2 days to find a
person powerful enough to end it. Till then<br>
Arawn believes
things but deep down knows he is cursed.<br><br>
[Janaq 2nd
1636TH] - [Sacred Forest]<br>
[Time: 7:48
am]<br><br>
Arawn
is exploring some section of the sacred forest. He<br>
doesn't know if
this place even has boundaries. He notices<br>
a lone brown eagle
limping. Arawn helps the eagle and<br>
heals it.<br><br>
[Time: 9:54
pm]<br><br>
Arawn
needs to escort a herbalist lady from one village<br>
to another.
Since it is well dark they both walk in the<br>
forest. Corsaya
left in Sacred Forest since she would not<br>
allow the lady to
ride. So it is better to just walk<br>
in the
darkness. Suddenly Arawn stops the lady and<br>
tells her
stay. Arawn hears noises ahead and creeps<br>
further up the
path. He then notices 3 beings. One<br>
young human male
and 2 faerry. Arawn smiles and figures<br>
the fae are just
playing a prank. He steps through the<br>
bushes and one of
the females turns around. With the<br>
lantern the lady
is carrying and Arawn's night vision<br>
Arawn stops when
he sees blood on the female's lips.<br><br>
This
is no prank. Arawn recognizes these Faerry as<br>
Baobhan
Sith. Arawn reaches for his dagger but his<br>
knowledge tells
him to use iron. So he draws his<br>
borrowed bastard
sword and charges.<br><br>
Arawn
swings on the first one but misses. He yells<br>
for the lady to
come to be protected. The second<br>
Sith takes to the
air as Arawn suspected. It would be<br>
wise to get the
lady under his protection. <br><br>
Arawn
could cast repel evil but with a village this close<br>
it would risk some
lone villager being farmed if he<br>
did not stop them
here and now. <br><br>
The
one on the ground leaps at Arawn and claws ripping<br>
at his right ribs
doing 5 points of damage. The other<br>
one dives at Arawn
but he whips his shield and deflects<br>
the beast
away.<br><br>
The
lady emerges into the area and gasps. She can't<br>
see as well in the
darkness but raises the lantern to<br>
see the Fae
fighting Arawn.<br><br>
First
Sith leaps at Arawn sensing he is a nice catch<br>
but the Alfar
dodges. The flying one dives at Arawn<br>
and claws at
Arawn's neck doing a massive 4 points<br>
tearing a chunk of
neck/shoulder away.<br><br>
Arawn
hits the one on the ground in the back and wounds<br>
her but also at
the same time banishes her.<br><br>
The
second flying Sith sees this and turns to fly and<br>
flee. Arawn
drops his sword and shield and pulls his<br>
bow and
quiver. He knocks his arrow and tries to track<br>
the fleeing Sith
30 feet away. It weaves and dodges<br>
in and out of
trees. But Arawn aims and fires. The<br>
arrow hits the
Sith in the back doing 17 points but not<br>
only killing her
banishes her.<br><br>
Arawn
kneels to check the man and finds he is not<br>
fully drained so
heals him and walks both to the<br>
village before
returning to the sacred forest.<br><br>
[Janaq 4th
1636TH] - [Sacred Forest]<br>
[Time: 2:30
pm]<br><br>
As
Arawn is taking a break from working at the forge<br>
he notices a black
hawk with red beak attacking and<br>
taking a snake up
for lunch. Even in the Sacred Forest<br>
the cycle of life
seems to be in tact.<br><br>
[Time: 5:10
am]<br><br>
Arawn
is awoken to bells in the forest. This is very<br>
rare as alerts are
not common in this place. Arawn<br>
grabs his gear and
hears the Faerry from the Faerry Hill<br>
say a sentry has
spotted outside villagers trying to take<br>
down a Kotothi
Shaman and a Gwyligi. Arawn knows the<br>
beast very well as
Mae summoned one and almost killed Pyan<br>
for it.<br><br>
Arawn
stops at the blacksmith and grabs a weapon that<br>
can hurt the beast
and then leaves the sacred forest.<br>
By time the Fae
guides him to the villagers he spots<br>
5 warriors on the
ground paralyzed. Another 2 are<br>
standing around
confused. But the Kotothi shaman seems<br>
to have been
killed. At least that is good. There<br>
are 3 other
warriors trying to fight the beast.<br><br>
Arawn
charges to help the warriors and warns them not<br>
to stare at the
beast and to avoid its cry. Arawn swings<br>
at the beast but
fails to hit. The dog of darkness tries<br>
to attack warrior
#4 but fails to hit.<br><br>
Two of
the warriors hit the beast doing minor damage while<br>
another doesn't
penetrate his tough hide. The hound<br>
bites warrior #1
in the leg making him collapse.<br><br>
Arawn
hits the beast and does 4 points of damage.<br><br>
This
causes the hound to turn on Arawn and attack it<br>
bites him in his
left arm doing 12 points forcing him to<br>
drop his
shield.<br><br>
Warrior #3 stabs the beast in the neck doing 10 points<br>
of damage.
Another hits but doesn't penetrate his hide.<br><br>
Arawn
turns to Warrior #2, leaps but the warrior ducks<br>
in time so be
missed. Arawn does another 3 points of damage<br>
stabbing him in
the leg. Arawn starts to allocate magic<br>
to cast some
spells like armor.<br><br>
Two
faerry from the sky fire bows at the beast and hit<br>
but they deflect
off. Three elves from the Sacred Forest<br>
join in but also
fail to do damage.<br><br>
The
hound attacks warrior #4 and kills him.<br><br>
Arawn
stabs the beast and does the final damage to kill<br>
it. Arawn
and others tend to the wounded and paralyzed.<br><br>
[Janaq 9th
1636TH] - [Sacred Forest]<br>
[Time: 11:23
am]<br><br>
Arawn
is taking a break from a priest ceremony when<br>
he is walking in
the heavy woods in the sacred forest.<br>
As he steps across
a fallen tree he becomes dizzy and<br>
awkward. The
area around him spins and he finds himself<br>
now in a enclosed
space. It is a large stone room<br>
with 30 foot
ceilings. A window to the left seems to show<br>
a stormy
night. Night?<br><br>
Arawn
looks around and behind him is startled to see a 20<br>
foot man pulling a
book out of a tall book case. He turns<br>
and nods.
"To free the lost one must seek the origin and<br>
plea for
help."<br><br>
A clap
of thunder forces Arawn to turn and when he does<br>
he becomes dizzy
again and steps over the log back in<br>
the sacred
forest. Did Arawn just dream it? But there<br>
was something
familiar about the giant. He sits on the<br>
log to recall the
scene. A storm giant? No. It<br>
almost seemed like
a Aankim based on the sigils on the<br>
wall and the
shield crest by the window. But how could that<br>
even be
possible?<br><br>
Arawn
couldn't help but ponder the message. Who was the 'lost'<br>
the Anakim was
referring to - Himself?... The abnari? If so then<br>
that meant that
there were some in the Upper Realms who were<br>
aware of the
events surrounding the party's last adventure and<br>
seemed to wish
them well. And who or what was the 'origin'? His<br>
father perhaps as
the one came up with the plan? Or was this<br>
something
altogether unrelated to the prison-world?<br><br>
He
felt he probably shouldn't share the information regarding<br>
the shifters and
their prison with the Forestal or Bohusara, not<br>
for a lack of
trust but for putting them in a position where<br>
they might risk
the wrath of the deities they served. But he<br>
was willing to at
least risk sharing this vision with them on<br>
the off chance
they might have some insight to share. And if<br>
not then he hoped
his training as a Baru would allow him further<br>
insight into
things.<br><br>
[Janaq 10th
1636TH] - [Sacred Forest]<br>
[Time: 3:51
am]<br><br>
After
finishing the days crafting and druid chore<br>
Arawn was asked by
Strie'bog to help him. It takes a few<br>
hours to ride to
the village in the east and they stay<br>
that night to help
the village deal with a plant blight<br>
harming the small
gardens and forest. With help from<br>
the Green Lady's
knowledge Strie'bog is able to figure<br>
it out to be a
insect and helps to show how to deal with<br>
the insects by
using a common plant that acts like pepper.<br><br>
Shouts
wake up Arawn and he exits to find the Kalu<br>
Bard Strie'bog
heading to the west edge of the village.<br>
There a forest
giant is attacking. The Bard begins to<br>
pepper magical
multiple arrows, 5 at a time, at the<br>
giant. Three
arrows do minor damage as villagers flee<br>
and cower.
The village hunters and warriors try to<br>
help but they have
light bows.<br><br>
Arawn
and Strie'bog cause the giant to chase them<br>
around the village
distracting it from the locals.<br>
As they do they
pepper it with arrows. Arawn fires<br>
but misses.
Two of the 5 Strie'bog's arrows hit but<br>
bounces
off.<br><br>
Arawn
hits the giant in the leg and dives to save a<br>
old lady under a
wagon being crushed. The distractions is<br>
so numerous he
can't get a spell off yet.<br><br>
The
giant picks up the wagon and tosses it to the<br>
nearest tree
smashing it. He reaches for Arawn<br>
but a large sonic
boom from Strie'bog hits the giant<br>
and he cowers
back.<br><br>
Arawn
rolls and kneels and fires a arrow right at<br>
the giant's
stomach but actually hits his groin doing<br>
18 points of
damage. The giant howls in pain.<br><br>
Strie'bog fires 5 more arrows hitting with 2 but doing minor<br>
damage. The
giant roars and charges to Strie'bog not knowing<br>
where the boom
came, arrow that impaled his gianthood came from.<br>
The giant slams a
foot down onto Strie'bog and does 8 points to<br>
the bard.<br><br>
The
other warriors have bee peppering with arrows as well<br>
while doing minor
hits here and there they turn to fire<br>
from torches for
their arrows. A group of 8 fire at the<br>
back of the
giant. Six of the 8 hit But only one arrow<br>
penetrates the
tough armor. One other hunter gets lucky<br>
and does 8 points
to the giant's back ribs.<br><br>
Strie'bog tries to crawl away but is dazed.<br><br>
Arawn
fires a arrow but it bounces off.<br><br>
Four
more villages hit with arrows doing damage past<br>
his tough skin
doing 7 points.<br><br>
The
giant tries to bash Arawn with his club but Arawn<br>
rolls
away.<br><br>
Strie'bog fires 5 more arrows and 2 hit. One does<br>
8 points to his
chest. But the other flies at the neck<br>
of the giant doing
15 points as it pierces deep.<br><br>
The
giant wavers back and grabs his neck in pain.<br><br>
The
villages fire but all in their haste fail to hit.<br><br>
Arawn
fires again and fails to hit with bow and his<br>
attack
spell.<br><br>
Strie'bog fires 5 more arrows but only one hits doing<br>
5 more
points. The giant falls to his knees grabbing<br>
for his
throat. Villages tell the folks in the hut next<br>
to it to flee now
or be crushed.<br><br>
As the
giant teeters to the right about to crush the<br>
hut Arawn charges
leaping on the right knee for<br>
help and does a
forceful kick to the giant's chest.<br>
This causes the
teetering to shift from right to left<br>
saving the
hut.<br><br>
Strie'bog fires 5 more with 3 hits. One arrow hits the<br>
giant's right eye
destroying it and the arrow penetrates<br>
to the
brain. The giant falls to the front and side dead.<br><br>
The
village is taken care of and any healing is done if<br>
needed. The
village now has problem of getting rid of the<br>
body until Arawn
offers to translocate it to the lake so it<br>
can sink and
decay. While a giant is bad for he lake in<br>
the short term the
by products will feed many animals and<br>
the lake will
thrive with this huge mass. Arawn considers<br>
teleporting it to
the Humangi but it could kill some random<br>
person. The
lake is the best and under the water.<br><br>
[Janaq 16th,
1636TH] - [Sacred Forest]<br>
[Time: 5:54
am]<br><br>
Arawn
wakes up early and can't sleep. After that strange<br>
Larshee encounter
he heads to the nearby lake he send the<br>
forest giant to
rest. Long time ago he saw the white dove<br>
which is a symbol
of his parents. Maybe he can see something<br>
again?<br><br>
But as
Arawn sits around the lake watching the night around<br>
him he spots a
black leopard drinking nearby. Arawn studies the<br>
animal and it just
glances up briefly. Then it scampers back<br>
into the
forest.<br><br>
[Janaq 18th,
1636TH] - [Sacred Forest]<br>
[Time: 11:52
pm]<br><br>
Arawn
is leaving the Green Lady's place after dropping off<br>
some materials
heading to the sacred forest. Arawn notices<br>
a brown bear in
the forest nearby. But it seems a docile<br>
beast and Arawn
moves on.<br><br>
[Janaq 27th,
1636TH] - [Sacred Forest]<br>
[Time: 11:33
pm]<br><br>
After
helping a village rebuild after a storm Arawn is<br>
heading back to
the Sacred Forest. He is walking since<br>
Corsaya wanted to
say behind. As he is walking Arawn's<br>
neck hairs curl a
bit. He begins to sense something<br>
but unsure
what. As he draws his sword and buckler he<br>
sees 3 bugbears
charging his way<br><br>
There
is no time to use his bow so he prepares for melee.<br>
He starts to cast
a sleep mist spell but it seems to fail.<br><br>
Arawn
thrusts at the first but misses. They all attack and<br>
swing their
clubs. Two of the creatures fail to hit Arawn<br>
but one hits him
in the left shoulder dong 4 points of damage.<br><br>
Arawn
attempts the sleep spell again but it also seems to fail.<br>
Arawn tries to
stab one beast but it dodges. Two of the beasts<br>
hit Arawn's shield
but the 3rd hits him in the left center chest<br>
but his armor
protects him.<br><br>
Arawn
for a third try casts the sleep mist and it begins to<br>
finally fall
around him. The bugbears are all affected and<br>
drop to the
ground. Arawn considers his options. He could<br>
teleport them away
to live. But they might come back into the<br>
forest and kill
some innocent villager. Arawn looks around<br>
the forest to see
if any goblins are around but finds none<br>
of them
around. So the beasts are alone it seems.<br><br>
Arawn
kneels and does a prayer regardless. Life is precious<br>
but he can't risk
innocents dying from these creatures. He<br>
stabs and kills
all 3 creatures.<br><br>

and Strie'bog are taking a 2 day village tour of the<br>
north to ensure
the winter is not affecting the villages badly.<br>
Arawn is at the
town central bonfire as most of the village is<br>
well asleep when
he hears crying. Arawn rushes to find a girl<br>
around 10 or so
pointing. Her cat is being swarmed by bats.<br>
These brown bats
are diving and trying to latch on as the cat<br>
tries to claw and
defense itself. But 4 are already attached<br>
and drinking
blood. Arawn sees these brown bats as vampire bats<br>
usually attacking
large animals.<br><br>
Arawn
tells the girl to stand back and considers his options.<br>
if he casts repel
evil the bats would just find another victim.<br>
So he needs to
deal with it. He draws his sword and shield and<br>
rushes.<br><br>
Arawn
hits one bat killing it as he bashes another flying<br>
around knocking it
aside.<br><br>
The
other 2 bats dive at Arawn but miss as Arawn dodges<br>
and ducks.
Arawn slices another bat in half killing him.<br><br>
One
bat impacts on Arawn's shield. The dazed bat recovers<br>
and latches onto
his back and pierces his back to drain<br>
blood. Arawn
kills the one left flying. Arawn kneels at<br>
the cat. He
knows that these bats are hard to remove unless<br>
they are burnt
off. But burning might kill the cat which is<br>
already laying
motionless on the ground.<br><br>
As the
bat on his back drains blood, Arawn caats a sleep<br>
mist. The
mist falls and all the bats and hopefully cat<br>
fall asleep.
Arawn yells for the girl to carefully bring<br>
a burning piece of
wood from the fire but only carefully.<br>
The girl comes
back and Arawn begins the careful pinpoint<br>
work to burning
the bats off while trying not to harm the<br>
cat. But the
cat does get some hairs burnt regardless.<br><br>
Arawn
removes the bats and kills them. Then checks the<br>
cat. He
frowns it is too late. The small cat just lost<br>
too much
blood. There is no hope of using magic to regenerate<br>
or heal the poor
cat. Arawn with sleeping bat on his back<br>
look at the girl
who begins to cry. Arawn consoles the girl<br>
but it is better
the cat and not her that is dead. If this<br>
was a horse or cow
might've had a chance.<br><br>
The
girl's mother takes the cat and girl away as a villager<br>
helps to burn the
last bat off to kill it. Arawn blesses the<br>
girl and the cat
before they return home.<br><br>

[Time: 5:17
am]<br><br>
Arawn
is up and packing for his trip back to he Sacred Forest<br>
from his tour of
the north villages. Strie'bog will depart<br>
separately.
The village is quiet except two village sentries<br>
on patrol.
<br><br>
Arawn
notices a large mana source in the forest and has seen<br>
these
before. A possible natural magical plant or such. Arawn<br>
heads to
investigate. But as Arawn rounds the thick set of<br>
trees he loses
sight of the mana aura. Arawn looks around<br>
but the forest is
quiet. That's when he realizes too quiet<br>
even the animals
are silent. Arawn draws his sword.<br><br>
As
Arawn reaches for his shield a flash from the side. A<br>
flash of fire
streams right for him and hits him. Arawn is<br>
burnt for 9 points
of damage from the fire dart. Arawn falls<br>
and rolls away
grabbing his shield.<br><br>
A bit
disoriented as he rolls to put out the fire. He<br>
misses the being
running right for him. A human woman with<br>
scales on her skin
and a large crocodile like maw of a mouth.<br>
She raises two
hands with large long claws.<br><br>
Arawn
instinctively casts Armor as he stands. The<br>
magical armor
kicks in as Arawn lifts his sword to<br>
deflect the
woman. But it is unwieldy and misses.<br><br>
The
Cuca Queen claws at Arawn but hits his shield. Arawn<br>
swings but misses
the agile queen. The queen claws but<br>
is blocked again
by shield. Arawn not only misses the queen<br>
but is almost
pulled away by the queen and taken off balance<br>
but he is lucky
and remains standing.<br><br>
The
Queen misses entirely. Arawn hits the queen in the<br>
lower left doing 4
points with his sword. Both Queen and<br>
Arawn swipe but
both miss each other. The queen misses again.<br>
But Arawn does not
as he slices open her left shoulder doing<br>
15 points of
damage. Queen hits the shield while Arawn misses.<br>
The queen hits
Arawn's shield again. Arawn stabs the Queen<br>
at the upper left
chest doing the final damage to kill the<br>
Queen.<br><br>
Arawn
still hurt from the fire dart runs around to ensure<br>
no other Cuca or
Dae'ta are around. But finds nothing in the<br>
area. Arawn
heads to the village to alert the sentries to<br>
get rid of it
before the village wakes up. Then heals<br>
himself.<br><br>
[Febris
15th, 1636TH] - [Sacred Forest]<br>
[Time: 4:12
am]<br><br>
Camped
out in the Vassa forest with others Arawn wakes to<br>
see a large adult
male deer watch the camp before moving on.<br>
He hopes the
villagers don't spot it and try to hunt it down.<br>
But the deer is
lucky and escapes.<br><br>
[Time: 11:37
am]<br><br>
<br>
Arawn
is on a tour with the Green Lady, Strie'bog and<br>
2 other villagers
on the edge of the eastern Vassa forest.<br>
Just beyond the
tree line which is nearby Arawn notices<br>
a creature he
seems to recall en route to Ticasi on the<br>
plains. The
green lady comments that it is a Elefan and<br>
seems to be moving
south. Arawn is intrigued but they have<br>
a tour to
complete.<br><br>
[Febris
16th, 1636TH] - [Sacred Forest]<br>
[Time: 6:17
am]<br><br>
Arawn
is packing up his gear for the day's tour to<br>
nearby villages
when he spots another adult male deer<br>
near the
camp. This one doesn't appear to be the same<br>
from the night
before. The game in this area must be<br>
plentiful.<br><br>
[Febris
20th, 1636TH] - [Sacred Forest]<br>
[Time: 5:10
am]<br><br>
Arawn
is in a village on his Vassa tour when suddenly<br>
a dozen antelope
scamper across the village. In fact there<br>
are 16 all running
south. Arawn figures they must be<br>
migrating.
Two of the hunters in village take one down<br>
before it can get
away. Arawn feels sad but the animal<br>
will feed the
village for awhile.<br><br>
[Febris
22nd, 1636TH] - [Sacred Forest]<br><br>
Arawn
intends to study and improve his natural eloquence.<br>
This will take a
full month. Since he has been doing his druid<br>
and priestly
duties he has been speaking out eloquently in<br>
ceremonies and
rituals so this is nothing but a routine to him<br>
now. But it
will improve his natural ability.<br><br>
Chanting prayers Arawn helps to plant with permission from<br>
the Forestal a red
maple tree. A rare tree he found 2<br>
weeks ago that he
took for a sapling. He does this with<br>
a Ceremony spell
to honor the sacred forest itself and as<br>
a tribute to
it.<br><br>
[Time: 3:41
am]<br><br>
Arawn
wakes up to stoke the fire in his hut and notices<br>
a large adult deer
outside his hut. This is the first time<br>
he has seen a deer
in the sacred forest so figures it was<br>
allowed in
recently.<br><br>
[Febris
24th-28th, 1636TH] - [Sacred Forest]<br><br>
Arawn
continues his Druidic and Priestly duties and reads<br>
his books at
night. He continues to improve his eloquence as<br>
well as normal
duties.<br><br>
[Marqi 2nd,
1636TH] - [Sacred Forest]<br>
[Time: 9:50
am]<br>
m<br>
Arawn
is exploring the Sacred Forest when he encounters<br>
aa wood
nymph. The mymph acknowledges Arawn and gives<br>
appreciation for
his work. Then it fades into the forest.<br><br>
[Marqi 7th,
1636TH] - [Sacred Forest]<br><br>
Arawn
spends his normal day in the sacred forest and reading<br>
his books at
night.<br><br>
Inspired by the Vong pills, Arawn wants to make healing<br>
pills for the
party. But it is a expensive project in mana.<br>
It is impossible
to make healing hand and energy pills so<br>
he tries to make
as many as he can. By the end of the day<br>
he only is able to
make 7 healing hand pills and no energy<br>
pills for the
party.<br><br>
[Time: 11:12
am]<br><br>
Arawn
is riding in the forest near the sacred forest heading<br>
to deliver a rare
gem for the green lady. When Corsaya suddenly<br>
gets nervous and
alerts Arawn. Arawn draws his sword and buckler<br>
and then notices
it behind to the left 50 feet in the forest.<br>
This beast stands
5 feet tall and over 600 pounds looking like<br>
a lion. It
has fire red strands in his mane. It roars and<br>
it is too late for
Arawn.<br><br>
The
Fire Lion is lucky and gets off a flaming death spell<br>
on Arawn who
bursts into flame and his clothing rage in fire.<br>
But being the
person not to harm Corsaya he falls to the ground<br>
to douse the
flames before she can catch fire.<br><br>
The
Fire lion then charges making the 50 foot gap in no<br>
time. But
Corsaya turns and tries to defend Arawn. The<br>
horse tries to
trample but the agile lion moves away.<br><br>
The
Fire lion claws at Corsaya ripping flesh away doing 5<br>
points of
damage.<br><br>
Arawn
grits his teeth but casts a negate magic spell and ends<br>
the flaming spell
but not before it does another 5 pionts<br>
of damage to
him. He continues to roll to douse out the flames<br>
before he can
act.<br><br>
The
Lion turns to figure out who should he kill first the<br>
Fay horse or the
Sidh he loves to eat. The horse is a bit<br>
too active.
He leaps for the horse. The lion tries to bite<br>
the neck of the
horse but only swipes down her side dong<br>
6 more points of
damage. But Corsaya knows one more strike<br>
and she is
dead. She rears up and kicks at the fire lion<br>
doing 8 points of
damage.<br><br>
Arawn
stands in massive pain as his skin peels grabs his<br>
buckler and
charges to help Corsaya. Arawn stabs the large<br>
beast doing 3
points past his tough hide. The Lion turns<br>
to face Arawn and
roars. It swipes at Arawn but he deflects<br>
the claw with his
buckler. <br><br>
Corsaya hurt decides to steer clear as she is bleeding<br>
out she is
starting to get weak.<br><br>
Arawn
swipes at the beast but fails to hit. But the<br>
large beast
charges and leaps at Arawn. With a 600 pound<br>
thing hitting you
both fall to the ground. Then the beast<br>
claws at Arawn's
stomach doing massive damage. The last<br>
thing Arawn sees
is the Fire lion leaning down eye to eye<br>
and about to do
the killing bite before he is knocked out.<br><br>
Arawn
feels serene peace as he begins to float. Memories<br>
of his childhood
with his parents come flooding back. Maybe<br>
this is how he
dies. But to see Corsaya die as well because<br>
of him.<br><br>
Then
Arawn is jerked away gasping for air. He turns his<br>
head to see the
fire Lion stare at him. He grabs his sword<br>
but his flesh is
so damaged it is painful. This evil beast<br>
is toying with
him!<br><br>
Then a
shadow falls over him and he can't make it out. "Hurry<br>
over
here!" Wait. That's the forestal's voice. What is
he<br>
doing outside the
sacred grove? He rarely leaves.<br><br>
Over
the eons or maybe it was just minutes Arawn wakes<br>
and fades.
He vaguely recalls the forestal saying the<br>
lion is dead
thanks to the druids. He seems to recall<br>
a half dozen elves
and druids around him. At least 3<br>
seem to be
treating him. Then the green lady appears<br>
and leans down and
seems to say words then he fades.<br>
He learns the
green lady healed and regenerated Arawn.<br><br>
Arawn
is helped to stay glad to be alive. "The forest<br>
alerted me and we
sent help. The forest doesn't always<br>
let us know but
this beast is not welcome here. We<br>
are sorry we were
late." The forestal says. Arawn<br>
looks around for
Corsaya and finds massive blood. "She<br>
is fine. She
fought even us helping her. She is such<br>
a nice noble
beast. But Strie'bog's mother healed and<br>
was helped by the
druids. Both of you will need rest<br>
but should be
fine. Aside from your riding clothes."<br>
<br>
Arawn
looks down to see him in a robe and figures his<br>
clothes were all
destroyed. He is helped back to his<br>
place in the
sacred forest.<br><br>
[Marqi 8th,
1636TH] - [Sacred Forest]<br><br>
The
druids demand that Arawn rest the day and do nothing<br>
for his
duties. This gives Arawn time to study his books as<br>
he recovers from
the lion attack.<br><br>
[Marqi 9th,
1636TH] - [Sacred Forest]<br>
[Time: 3:56
am]<br><br>
Staying at Strie'bog's place Arawn is awoken to se a mass<br>
of antelope
migrating south. Both the bard and druid estimate<br>
there must be
75-80 of them moving fast. <br><br>
[Marqi
16th-233rd, 1636TH] - [Sacred Forest]<br><br>
Arawn
continues his Druid and Priestly routines. Reading<br>
his books at
night.<br><br>
Marqi
20th Arawn lucks up and finds Chervil and buy sit<br>
for 15
silver. The next day Arawn lucks up and finds a<br>
Revification spell
scroll for 5 silver.<br><br>
During
these final days Arawn casts: using creatures and<br>
magical items in
the sacred forest he tries all of his<br>
dispel/banishes 6
times for a total of 36 castings with 112<br>
failures with at
least one abysmal failure. He casts Bless<br>
twice, armor twice
with 1 abysmal failure. Energy, ceremony<br>
twice with 1
failure, communicate 3 times with 2 failures and<br>
3 purification
spells. He casts wisdom, sky knowledge with 1<br>
failure and
recasts it, Knowledge and Inner revelation to<br>
gain info.
<br><br>
On
Marqi 22nd, a huge ceremony is held by the priests, druids<br>
green lady and
Forestal as well as a audience of several hundreds.<br>
In witness to
Arawn being promoted in the Priesthood. <br><br>
Finally on the morning of the last day he casts translocate<br>
with Corsaya going
back to check on the party. <br><br>

[Time: 9:33

[Marqi 17th,
1636TH] - [Sacred Forest]<br>
[Time: 5:59
am]<br><br>
Arawn
is restless not seeing his friends in months. At the<br>
lake he lets
Corsaya rest and graze since the snow is finally<br>
starting to
fade. Arawn then notices the same or a different<br>
leopard at the
lake drinking. He wonders if this is some<br>
omen for the
future where leopards are part of it. <br><br>
[Marqi 20th,
1636TH] - [Sacred Forest]<br>
[Time: 10:12
am]<br><br>
A elf
bring in 2 riding horses of high quality for treatment<br>
for hoof
rot. The druids and Arawn help out.<br><br>
[Marqi 21st,
1636TH] - [Sacred Forest]<br>
[Time: 7:04
pm]<br><br>
Arawn
and other villagers encounter on a path 5 adult<br>
human males
killed. All are beyond hope. There are signs<br>
of some animal but
it is unclear what killed them. Arawn<br>
helps handle the
bodies to rest.<br><br>

Update....Soon..<br><br>
GM: Originally
this IBT was 2200 lines. After Arawn edited<br>
he removed *51* days. Yes. He didn't want those days<br>
posted. Not sure why. But that's half the IBT poof.<br>
It ended up almost 1700 lines so about 500 lines of<br>
good text and stuff was deleted. :< His choice to do<br>
so but figured I'd let you know if it seems missing<br>
some things. :) Hound combat might be a bit confusing<br>
I run out of time to edit it. But the gist should be<br>
there to read. <br><br>
