coming into story<br><br>

it, prefer the following, which uses 2<br>

Thanks! <br>
GM: Ack. Added to

"Guys! You are letting a slaver escape!...<br>
GM: Ack.<br><br>
From Arawn: [Re: Actions]<br>
Sorry for the
delay in posting. Unfortunately I've been short<br>
on time lately. I
had worked on a reply to Update #9 but forgot<br>
to send it so some
of the information below might be moot now:)<br>
But sending it
anyways instead of editing it. Scott, no need to<br>
post things that
might be too late/not worth posting now or else<br>
feel free to work
them into the current time frame.<br><br>
Also, welcome
aboard, Bess:)<br><br>
***************** RE:
Game Update #9 *****************<br>
"As dashing as the
sailor thought you were, I'll do my...<br>
<br>
OOC:<br>
A bit late to mention it but I'd guess that Arawn, as a<br>
trained survivalist, would know enough to stand downwind<br>
from animals when possible to avoid being detected by scent<br>
and such. But all good:) Also, Arawn would like to have<br>
attempted Elvish/Empathic Communication with the animals<br>
(or use whatever odd aura seems to be around him regarding<br>
animals being relatively peaceful in regards to him) to calm<br>
them down, let them know he's there to help avoid further<br>
problems, and maybe figure out what's going on.<br>
As the panther/shaman has moved away maybe best to assume<br>
this done with the Zehani wolf, which makes me wonder if<br>
Arawn might recognize it as the one spotted during Kiet's<br>
funeral.<br><br>
[Time: 10:30 am]<br>
Watching the wolf and panther circle and pace,...<br>
<br>
[OOC:<br>
If you feel like posting/running Arawn's attempt to use<br>
Elvish Empathic Communication... IC: Arawn extended his<br>
spiritual and psychic senses, seeking to connect with the<br>
animals in hopes of calming them, learning their names and<br>
why their on deck, and discovering any hidden danger they may<br>
be aware of.]<br><br>
As it became clear that some of the men laying about the deck<br>
were still alive the alfar made his way to them, using his<br>
medical training to stabilize them.<br><br>
OOC:<br>
Arawn is invisible so not sure how the man sees him. But we<br>
can go with things as written so as to make things easy, the<br>
conversation taking place while Arawn tends to the wounded<br>
(maybe Arawn 'bumped' into Raddok).<br><br>
IC:
<br>
His medical kit by his side Arawn sought to stabilize...<br><br>
"What happened here?," he asked, speaking in Salaqi...<br><br>
OOC: Based on the conclusion that the guards were guilty of<br>
being slavers while the sailors were innocent, if it seems<br>
like the sailors are going to die before he (and anyone<br>
helping him) can stabilize them all of those still alive<br>
then he'll gather them together and cast Healing Mist at EL<br>
0 on them.<br><br>
****************** RE: Game Update #10 ******************<br><br>
Arawn was able to make out the dwarf's comments bu....<br><br>
[OOC: Will cast Communicate at max EL. If this seems to fail<br>
then he'll reply in Faerry Sidh or, if the dwarf seems unable<br>
to understand that, the Tongue of Dvalinn.<br><br>
OOC: Probably a bit late now but in case Unali forgot while<br>
trying to break the door Arawn gave her Enhanced Moonwort a<br>
while back.<br><br>
OOC: So is Arawn invisible or not, lol?<br><br>
OOC: I assume the part you repeat to Arawn is, "Something is<br>
very wrong here, isn't it?"<br><br>
IC: Raddok's quick prayer catches Arawn's attention,...<br>
GM: Ack. As always
I understand busy schedules. At least<br>
4 of the party are super busy so that happens. You<br>
guys react when can and as always I can hold game <br>
need be just let me know. As to down wind yes would<br>
know but staying still for a few moments is critical.<br>
As to Communicate as I've warned just because you<br>
are friendly doesn't mean animals are they WILL attack<br>
and by the time you act all nicey and such your throat<br>
is ripped out. So communicate could be too high a risk<br>
at times. But I assume you try to remain calm and friendly<br>
and extend no sign of hostile intent so that to me is<br>
your communication. :) For other words spoken you'd have<br>
to include later. As to the Wolf it is the same as Kell's<br>
(not Kiet he isn't dead yet :)) funeral. At least more<br>
likely unless there is another one his size in area. The<br>
Jag though is new. I covered the Raddok seeing you thing.<br>
That was a mistake by the Dwarf staff. But I fixed it<br>
by you touching him. As to panther seen in Vassa the Jag is<br>
not it different species. May have to remind me on Healing<br>
Mist as may not have time to do it. But you have to move folks<br>
and they are scattered over the entire ship deck so you need<br>
to get them closer for a mist spell. That could be risky.<br>
You are still invisible to those you don't touch. But they<br>
can 'see' you for the blood on the deck via boots thing. It<br>
will probably fade by time guards arrive. A Donaran connection<br>
applies for Raddok/Arawn so any repeated words can be done that<br>
way.<br><br>
<br>
From Mae: [Re:
Actions]<br>
Maelorna
sighs as she walks up, her other half finds the smell of<br>
GM: Ack. May want
to explain the inner voice to the new players.<br>
As to sailor they are all with eyes closed so using the<br>
2 spells is kinda difficult especially since they are<br>
unconscious. IT requires awake and them looking at you for<br>
my universe. Seduction could be argued differently but<br>
that could actually kill the dying or wounded men by increasing<br>
heart flow and bleeding out more. But once healed if you<br>
want to try again let me know. But again sailors would<br>
not want to be enthralled aginst their will so the gods<br>
may not like that so much.<br><br>
From Mournath: [Re:
Actions]<br>
'Well...bugger. I did not mean to end his life.' ...<br>
GM: Ack. Since
'..' I assume this was thought not said. <br><br>
From Fremea: [Re:
Actions]<br>
Seeing the
dead guy on the floor, Fremea looks around...<br><br>
"This
sure didn't go well it seems." Her smile says she...<br>
GM: Ack. <br><br>
From Kiet: [Re:
Actions]<br>
Having done
nothing wrong, Kiet will happily follow any...<br>
GM:
Ack.

[New Stuff]<br><br>
[Marqi Frisda
23rd, 1636TH; Sivas, Marentia]<br>
[Time: Minutes
earlier]<br><br>
The
group leaves the sailor in the alley and head to the<br>
docks to find the
ship.<br><br>
"As dashing as the sailor thought you were, I'll do my best<br>
to try and keep my
hands off of you," Arawn jovially replied,<br>
shooting Damon a
grin.<br><br>
Damon
grins and nods to the Alfar. <br><br>
[Time: 10:30
am]<br><br>
The
wolf and Jaguar circle Arawn.<br><br>
Watching the wolf and panther circle and pace, Arawn's<br>
thoughts drifted
back to the black panthers he had spotted<br>
during his time in
the Vassa and Sacred Forests. To others it<br>
might have seemed
a coincidence but for some, himself included,<br>
it was an omen. To
see one now, in such an odd place,<br>
represented
mystery and self-discovery - it seemed a journey was<br>
set to begin,
spiritual and physical. But who was it meant for?<br><br>
<br>
[Time: 10:34
am]<br><br>
Maelorna sighs as she walks up, her other half finds the<br>
smell of death and
dying enjoyable. 'Perhaps little one we can<br>
play a bit? The
irritant appears to be busy, oooh, look at that<br>
one, the meal's
almost dead, he might scream nicely as we feed,<br>
how about it?' it
asks with a playful tone, 'It's not like the<br>
irritant will
notice.' as she rolls her eyes, though she gives<br>
Arawn a side long
glance, he does appear busy at the moment.<br>
The weight of her
crossbow gives her little comfort as she can<br>
easily guess how
quickly he could end her life if he chose.<br>
Though at the
moment she had little concern for such nor the<br>
chaos the others
were doing, content to just let them kill and<br>
do all the
work.<br><br>
'The
disgusting dwarf actually needed her help for what?' she<br>
asks herself as
she looks down at a dying sailor and kneels<br>
down and caresses
his cheek while giving him as much a<br>
comforting look as
she can, and makes the choice. The sailor<br>
might be dying,
but she can at least give him purpose and<br>
pleasure before he
passes on. Using Seduction EL 4, she<br>
attempts to make
him hers.<br><br>
Arawn
hears Raddok murmur about things going wrong.<br><br>
Raddok's quick prayer catches Arawn's attention, his eyes<br>
narrowing, though
whether from suspicion or pleasure is hard to<br>
tell. "So it
would appear," he replied, continuing to tend to<br>
the downed
wounded. "There's suspicion of slavery on this ship<br>
and I think the
dwarves may have been among the enslaved."<br><br>
Arawn
steps back from Radddock and becomes invisible but<br>
as he walks the
blood on the boots show where he is<br>
going. Arawn
sheathes his sword and looks around the deck.<br><br>
His
medical kit by his side Arawn sought to stabilize the<br>
condition of the
fallen that yet lived. As he did so he glanced<br>
at the man
stumbling through an array of languages.<br><br>
"What happened here?," he asked, speaking in Salaqi. "And
you<br>
can help me save
the rest of your companions."<br><br>
As the
rest of the party began to make their way on to the<br>
deck his
disembodied voice carried from a spot not far from<br>
Raddok.<br><br>
"Some of these men are still alive, but barely. I'm tending to<br>
them best I can
but could use some help."<br><br>
The
Elder dwarf speaks up as Arawn goes around checking<br>
each
body.<br><br>
Arawn
was able to make out the dwarf's comments but only<br>
roughly, the
language related to Faerry Sidh. But that seemed<br>
enough to get the
gist of the elder's question.<br><br>
"No," he replied regarding his connection to the crew.<br>
"There was a
battle. I came to find out what is going on."<br><br>
Raddok
notices Arawn having difficulty trying to understand<br>
the dwarf and
knows the tall elf seems to know Donaran so<br>
Raddok translates
dwarf into Donaran.<br><br>
Raddok
tries to help Arawn with the wounded as Mae tries<br>
to find a nice
target. Dorhak stalks the deck as he looks<br>
for clues and
finds the open hatch to the hold on the top<br>
side - the smell
repels him away.<br><br>
No one
notices a couple dwarves slip down the stairs.<br><br>
[Captain's
office]<br><br>
'Well...bugger. I did not mean to end his life.' Looking<br>
around at the
charred papers -far beyond legibility- Mournath<br>
instead takes a
keen eye to sweeping the room. It's possible<br>
the Captain did
not have time to reach all the papers. In<br>
particular the
ones that he would keep hidden from any customs<br>
agents or tax
collectors.<br><br>
Seeing
the dead guy on the floor, Fremea looks around to<br>
assess the
situation. It seems something was being burned,<br>
paper most likely
and Mournath killed the dead guy to make<br>
sure it stopped.
Unali has stamped out some papers, though<br>
they don't look
very good. She is not sure there is much to<br>
do here, though it
seems Mournath is looking for something<br>
now.<br><br>
"This sure didn't go well it seems." Her smile says she is<br>
joking, but also
knows it would have been better to keep that<br>
one alive, since
it could be the captain. "Anything I can help<br>
with?" She
looks to see if the blind lady is still there. When<br>
she sees her,
"What is your name, blind one?"<br><br>
Unali
looks up to see Fremea and the blind girl now in full<br>
leathers.
She looks down as she sorts through the ashes as best<br>
she can to see
what was lost or not lost.<br><br>
Mournath steps around the room and knows a captain's quarters<br>
like any
other. But this is much smaller. He leans down to<br>
look around the
chest and finally under the bed. Under the bed<br>
he notices a case
and reaches in to grab it. On the handle seems<br>
to be some kind of
rattle with a feather. But if captains have<br>
secret stores it
would be this case probably. He plops the case<br>
onto the
bed.<br><br>
The
blind girl replies to Fremea, "Ix." in what seems to<br>
be
Marentian. But she doesn't answer the other question yet.<br><br>
Unali
looks up and notices the case. The blind girl also<br>
steps forward not
ignoring Fremea but curious by the sudden<br>
noise of the
rattle. It is almost familiar. She steps around<br>
the alcove and
looks at the bed. She leans in closer for<br>
a better sense of
what the item must be but it seems so<br>
familiar.<br><br>
Mournath tries the lock and finds the case locked. He<br>
flips the rattle
which seems to make noise with a snake<br>
tail rattle.
He shrugs and pulls the feather thing away<br>
pulling the small
string away and shakes it. Wondering what<br>
this is
for.<br><br>
Unali
raises a hand toward Mournath to stop him from touching<br>
the case but it
becomes too late when he grabs the string-feather<br>
item
thing.<br><br>
Ix
hears a faint drum and a slight breeze on the item<br>
being
shaken. Then she realizes what this item is.<br><br>
Unali
notices around the Captain's body a red hue form and<br>
quickly fade as it
appears.<br><br>
[Top
deck]<br><br>
Mae
finds a guard with a long sword among big muscles<br>
and finds his eyes
flutter. He gurgles for help and then<br>
looks to Arawn to
see if he can save the man. But then decides<br>
to cast a spell
and see if she can get a pet.<br><br>
[Alley]<br><br>
Z'leyra explains. "Guys! You are letting a slaver escape! Kiet<br>
and I were chasing
him. Now...he is going to be gone before we<br>
can capture him.
The crew of his ship were enslaving folk from<br>
this city,
abducting them right off the street!"<br><br>
Having
done nothing wrong, Kiet will happily follow any<br>
(reasonable)
command the guards give. He will even answer<br>
most of their
questions, letting them know that he was just<br>
trying to catch up
to a ship's officer to ask him some questions<br>
about his ship and
cargo.<br><br>
Kiet
will even tell them that men from that ship attacked and<br>
tried to abduct a
dwarf he knows as Dorhak. Some of Kiet’s<br>
friends, including
Z'leyra, thought the ship crew might have<br>
been engaged in
slavery, though silly to try to enslave<br>
dwarfs.<br><br>
The
guard looks to the flour pile on Z'leyra's<br>
shoulder.
"Describe what he looks like quickly."<br><br>
Z'leyra does this and raises her voice so that Corona can<br>
hear her own
description.<br><br>
Once
done the leader turns to his left. Nods to one of his<br>
men.
"Find and detain."<br><br>
The
man turns his horse around and rides fast toward the<br>
intersection and
then heads to the direction last seen of<br>
the
officer.<br><br>
"My fastest horse here. Now let's go to this ship.
I<br>
have a lot of
questions. You two seems to be very fast<br>
runners for some
time so we'll keep up move on."<br><br>
Kiet
and Z'leyra turn and run back toward the ship.<br><br>

Update....Saturday...<br><br>
GM: A short
update but wanted this out. Just a head's up.<br>
In Florida storms can be bad. As such I turn off the pc<br>
to avoid damage. So updates may be delayed. Some<br>
summers there are no storms and some there are every day.<br>
They tend to come 3-4 but randomly can be any time even<br>
8am. Next update I'll move guards to the ship. They<br>
will start to question and see what is going on. From<br>
now on it may go very slow here as updates may be short<br>
spans of times - minutes. Depending on the leader - Dorhak<br>
and others how they explain things. Investigation could take<br>
hours or more. I need to check the file on the deaths<br>
and wounds. So will do that next and see how any are<br>
alive or just wounded. <br><br>
GM:
Introducing IX! akat Blind girl. Played by Rachelle
Gauthier<br>
aka Neko in Skype. :) She actually joined maybe 6 months ago<br>
when I was doing IBT. So finally she can finally join!!!<br>
Sorry for delay. Trying to get group to the ship was a<br>
bit of delay. Actually NO update will be out Saturday.<br>
I'll post HER IBT. Yes she did a IBT. :) So next<br>
update will be next tue/wed. Welcome aboard Neko! Ix<br>
let me know how you want listed as Class/Job in Roster.<br><br>
GM: Arawn - Moving
wounded for Mist could be bad. It will take<br>
time to assess each. The ship is probably 100 feet long<br>
with bodies all strewn about. You can use Communicate or<br>
Raddok can translate for you if needed let me know.<br><br>
Dorhak: Ready for guards and lots of questions? May want to<br>
prepare but got a week. :) If want to prepare planned<br>
answers to typical questions you can.<br><br>
Mournath - I would've skyped this to ask but I figure<br>
you'd be curious to find such items and 'mess' with<br>
it. Plus its a plot filler. :) So hope you understand.<br>
But you were offline in skype.<br><br>
Raddok - Bess I got email late or rather I just now<br>
noticed. If you had a reply I'm sorry. I'll add it<br>
to the next update. You can post to the list<br>
directly if need be now :)<br><br>
Unali - Will try to get details on papers on desk later.<br><br>
