[Recap]<br><br>
From Z'leyra: [Re:
Actions]
<br>
Z'leyra lies on
the deck staring up at the sky. After ....<br>
GM: Ack. <br><br>
From Arawn: [Re; Actions]<br>
Sorry for the
delays in posting everyone. I had sent battle<br>
choices to Scott a
while back (before the fight actually<br>
started) and
didn't have a chance to sit down long enough to<br>
adjust them for
the previous update or to reply to anyone.<br>
Would have
loved to translocate Arawn to the prow and have<br>
Repel Evil
hopefuly send the giant fleeing (but nice save<br>
everyone - just
got to see to Z'leyra now). But up for 48<br>
hours, work and
then two birthdays since the last update -<br>
and now finally
getting a chance to rest like a normal person.<br>
Anyways now to
adjust to the situation at hand.?<br>
---<br>
Unali:
Nice idea on flight and such. Send me a direct email<br>
right away
next time and I'll be happy to work something out.<br>
And maybe we
can come up with strategies over the next<br>
couple of weeks
for you to close the gap in similar future<br>
situations.?<br><br>
Z'leyra: Communicating with Scott on best option to heal
you<br>
as I'm not sure
how close to death vs unconsciousness Z'leyra's<br>
at and want to
minimize risking your death by making the<br>
mistake of
delaying a phase or 2 for healing to kick in<br>
(Healing Mist
heals each Turn, not Phase, so checking on this<br>
for you along with
other options)<br>
--<br>
Once I'm done
communicating with Scott I'll have a proper<br>
post for Arawn:)<br>
GM: Ack. No problem.
Since I figured you'd be at the same spot<br>
for 4
phases (under magic rules of casting/movement)) I<br>
did
what I had to do with the info I got. :) It worked out<br>
though. If the SG got repelled likley would've submerged<br>
and
simply sunk ship and left to come back for snacks.<br>
Now a
EVIL gm would not have given any hints and le<br>
you
risk the death. Based on initial plan it would've<br>
killed
her for good. So being evil at times is not<br>
so
good for players. :)<br><br>
From Z'leyra: [Re:
Actions]<br>
At least Z'leyra
tried to gasp out 'ouch' but she was ...<br>
GM: Ack.<br><br>
From Raddok: [Re:
Actions]<br>
Serious
questions:<br>
Raddok, standing
over Z'eyra to protect her with his shield,<br>
can see the chest
wound & a hole there & knows it's potentially<br>
fatal.
What<br><br>
is not stated so
far is how large the hole is.<br>
He has a leather
helmet which, upside down, can block a larger,<br>
hallow hole, &
a mace that, doubtfully, can block up a smaller<br>
hole, if it's
weight doesn't cause more damage, or his bare<br>
hands (taking off
his armor would take too much time). [OOC:<br>
personally,<br><br>
I believe he
would use his own hands, maybe fisted, to try<br>
to block off
the hole, until something better offers.] He knows<br>
the chest
hole has to be closed, but has nothing else<br>
available.
His healing kit is I n the locker with his padded<br>
armor (&
he wishes he was wearing it - that may or may not<br>
help block a
wound like this.) So he has options nearby, but<br>
now has only
his hands, which may or may not help.<br><br>
OOC: Can
I/we get more specifics? (Sorry, I'm a retired nurse,<br>
so the
questions pop up)<br>
GM: Ack. Very good
question/comments. There was 2 situations as GM<br>
I had
to consider. Z's health, party's health and ship's<br>
health
is one. Now by then Giant was still alive. What<br>
if he
just reached over to grab Z for his net? No chance<br>
to
help her she'd be dead now too long for help to come<br>
to
her. So by blocking her you distracted the option of<br>
that
and reduced such a chance. You'd have to be taken<br>
first
or as well. So you protected her life doing so.<br>
Sure a
blow by his trident would've done little on the<br>
shield. But it would've helped as distraction. The
second<br>
issue
is the hole as you say. Sure he classic hand on wound<br>
and
yell 'medic' in movies. Might've worked. If you had<br>
some
training. That's hollywood. While in most cases it<br>
might've given time. But in this case there was no time before<br>
death. I as GM know exactly how much time. But what if<br>
you
had done MORE damge? Death would've been faster before<br>
Arawn
could help? So while I understand the urge to help<br>
it
might've been worse. The only true healers left are Fremea<br>
and
Arawn though both are limited on humans. So by doing<br>
the
blocking you did far better than helping But in the s<br>
spea
if you want to help I CAN do that. Keep in mind burning back<br>
on a
giant to help Z would've been a big bullseyes without<br>
a mace
to block. :) Good post though. <br><br>
From Arawn: [Re:
Actions[]
<br>
Kneeling beside
Z'leyra Arawn was careful not to adjust...<br><br>
"I need a
medic. Apply pressure here...," he directed...<br>
<br>
OOC: If anyone has
the Healer (Human) skill and wants to assist<br>
that would be
great as it'll work alongside magical healing.<br>
Otherwise he
can verbally direct them using his own Healer<br>
skill. Arawn
will simultaneously be casting Healing Hand at<br>
max EL on Z'leyra.
Would do both but Arawn's is worried this<br>
might take too
long as Z's running on very limited time.?<br>
" she
stabilizes then he'll check on Finn. If she still<br>
seems
unstablehe'll risk a Healing Mist at max EL while<br>
tending to her
with Healer skill (and asking someone to grab a<br>
healer's
kit).<br>
GM: Ack. <br><br>
-------------------------------------------------------------<br>
[New Stuff]<br><br>
[Apris 10th,
1636TH]<br>
[Time: 2:26
pm]<br><br>
Z'leyra lies on the deck staring up at the sky. After a<br>
few moments she
gathers enough strength to gasp "...ouch....".<br>
She awaits the
green mist that she expects to soon enfold<br>
her.<br><br>
That
is she hopes she speaks or was it a dream?<br><br>
Kneeling beside Z'leyra Arawn was careful not to adjust his<br>
position overly
much. The seal created by the mystical<br>
field surrounding
him pressing down on the puncture seemed to<br>
help but would
only afford her a few more seconds of life. She<br>
seemed
precariously close to death's door and despite his<br>
medical training
his lack of both tools and knowledge of human<br>
anatomy meant
that magic was liklly her best option. Healing<br>
mists,
regeneration and like would take too long leaving him<br>
with a quicker if
less thorough magic. He just hoped it would<br>
be
enough.<br><br>
Sensing Raddok and other others clustered around the<br>
shamaness the
alfar called out while preparing his wand.?<br><br>
"I need a medic. Apply pressure here...," he directed as
he<br>
invoked a prayer
of healing, dismissing the shield at just the<br>
right
moment.?<br><br>
Z'leyra's eye flicker for a half second or two as<br>
she sees Arawn
kneel over him. Why is his hair sticking<br>
out like
that. He just looks plain silly that way! Then<br>
again her own body
seems to tingle for some reason.<br><br>
At least Z'leyra tried to gasp out 'ouch' but she was too<br>
weak and fading
fast. She tries to use sign language to say,<br>
"Block hole
in chest" but fades out into unconsciousness<br>
before completing
the signs.<br><br>
Raddok drops his shield on the deck and rushes to a locker<br>
to grab his
healing kit.<br><br>
Mournath hears Arawn ask for help and drops his bow<br>
and kneels
next to Arawn t help hold the pressure. He<br>
has no
medical training as well But he also had no<br>
training in
taking out giants.<br><br>
Arawn notices Z'leyra fall into unconsciousness and<br>
feels her
pulse all but fade away.<br><br>
Nearby
Barbosa rappels down the rope to grab Finn<br>
who is also
knocked out. Fremea and Unali help place<br>
Finn around his
neck as the large dwarf tries to climb<br>
using his sheer
strength. Fremea also helps to hover and<br>
go upwards to hold
Finn in place.<br><br>
Zepp,
Dorhak, Kiet and others help haul the rope up as well<br>
to help the dwarf
get higher. Barbosa grunts as the waves<br>
splash against the
ship wetting him. Dwarfs do not like<br>
water
much.<br><br>
As
Barbosa climbs Unali releases the rope but places<br>
it around her was
it. She can climb up later. She<br>
glances at the
sinking giant and the large bubbles<br>
that pop up.
A large pool of blood oozes up making<br>
the area a nice
place for sharks soon.<br><br>
Raddok
opens the locker and grabs his kit. Then<br>
rushes back to the
others working on the probable dead<br>
Z'leyra.<br><br>
As
Arawn calls for a medic at the same time he reaches<br>
over to the hole
in Z'leyra's chest and casts a spell<br>
while speaking to
others. Gray magical energy shoots form<br>
his right hand
into the chest hole and heals 8 points of<br>
damage.<br><br>
Z'leyra checks the wound and it is now smaller then a pinky<br>
fingernail
size. It healed much but it seems that Z'leyra<br>
may be stable for
a few seconds. Arawn doesn't know humans<br>
all that well but
figures 6-9 seconds before she crashes<br>
again.<br><br>
Raddok
kneels and opens the kit. Arawn rummages inside for<br>
the knife and
gauze. He ensures the wound is not cluttered with<br>
bits of trident
metal and plugs up the hole. Heknows the<br>
Healing Hand will
prevent infections for the next 2 days<br>
if this fails so
cleaning the wound is not super critical at<br>
this
point.<br><br>
Nearby
Finn is hauled onto the deck by Kiet and<br>
Dorhak. Zepp
then helps Barbosa to the deck as well.<br><br>
Barbosa turns around at the water and pales as much<br>
as a dwarf
can. "Wait..did I do that?" As he realizes<br>
what he just did
just jumping over the side of the<br>
ship to save a
human he barely knows. His knees seem<br>
to buckle as he
realizes this and leans against a railing<br>
post.<br><br>
Arawn
shoos the others away as he prepares for the<br>
next spell.
While the Mist spells would do nothing<br>
to the others if
it backfires it could harm them.<br><br>
Arawn
speaks to the others as he tends the wound<br>
to move away and
then casts the Healing Mist spell.<br><br>
Z'leyra flutters her eyes open enough to see green<br>
snow falling
around her and then buzz as it hits the<br>
energy shield
around Arawn. That's funny looking.<br>
But why is it
snowing this late in the year? Then her<br>
eyes close once
again.<br><br>
Soon
Arawn realizes that the mist is working but also being<br>
countered by some
internal bleeding. Or maybe its the actual<br>
wound itself. Just
as the mist seems to heal the bleeding<br>
seems to counter
and that healing away. Frustrated Arawn<br>
begins to pray and
chant. He knows Z'leyra has her own luck<br>
ring on and
decides he needs help as well. Arawn estimated she<br>
had 50/50 chance
of death. But can he risk yet another<br>
super Healing hand
to help her? Surely there is still a<br>
50/50
chance. But he finally decides that it is almost<br>
mandatory as to
counter out the internal bleeding. He<br>
casts another
healing Hand and this time concentrates t<br>
to the inside the
body.<br><br>
This
time the hand heals 12 points of damage and closes<br>
up the wound in
her chest. But he knows there is still<br>
internal tissue
damage. Probably 40% damaged so far at<br>
this point.
But maybe as high as 60^. Human bodies are<br>
so weird to the
Alfar.<br><br>
By now
Unali has climbed onto the deck.<br><br>
Those
around Finn find the man has s2walloeed water<br>
and Fremea
helps. But Zeepp has seen this before and<br>
punches Finn's
chest once. Then twice. Soon Finn<br>
coughs up water
and gasps for air.<br><br>
Arawn
glances over his shoulder to see Finn doing good.<br>
Then realizes
Z'leyra's pulse is getting stronger. Finally<br>
the mist is dong
its thing. Normally Arawn figures the Mist<br>
would take at most
3 minutes. But in this case it takes<br>
5 full minutes as
it was being countered by the bleeding until<br>
Arawn fixed
that.<br><br>
Z'leyra finally wakes up after her head gets a whiff of<br>
Raddok's socks
near her head. She sniffs the air and<br>
then looks around
the green snow is gone. So is the<br>
hair sanding on
his head. Then wonders why cart or<br>
carts of many ran
over her.<br><br>
Dorhak
stands over Z'leyra with hands on hips and<br>
growls. He
mutters something about this is no time to<br>
be slacking there
are duties to be done! Repear of<br>
the wood railing
and such. Dorhak doesn't like two<br>
of the crew
resting this time of day!<br><br>

Update...Friday/Saturday...<br><br>
GM: Z'leyra
lives for now. Finn is only bruised by Zepp's<br>
hits but will be fine. The night is coming and I'm<br>
almost out of time. So will end update here. I wanted<br>
to do a bit more but will try Monday afternoon. Experience<br>
and character sheets are updated.<br><br>
Next update we will have a rumble! Kiet vs Unali on daggers.<br>
I already have the dialogue pretty much. But I figured<br>
if folks want to take bets let me know! :) It is a First<br>
Blood battle. Not to death.<br><br>
That was a good battle about 20 seconds or so. There<br>
was about 1200 odd experience earned. Congrats to<br>
Fremea and a few others. See the mana report in<br>
links section for the current updated experience<br>
and CEL increases and such!<br><br>
