From Dorhak: [Re: Actions]

</x-tab>Sorry about not
posting, but I never got the email with the last update. Comcast is
sometimes worthless.
<x-tab> </x-tab><x-tab>
</x-tab>Ugh! Looks
like it is sending it to spam. I’ll have to watch that.
<x-tab> </x-tab><x-tab>
</x-tab>The voice
continues...“What is there but not seen? What encompasses …

GM: Ack. Spam can be a issue. :)

Stuff]
<x-tab> </x-tab>[Ma 3rd,
1636TH]<x-tab> </x-tab>
<x-tab> </x-tab>[Time:
1:12 pm – South-East of Ma'Dor]
<x-tab> </x-tab>
The voice continues...“What is there but not seen? What
encompasses the mind and heart? Without it one is lost. With it one has
direction and purpose. What is it?”
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Dorhak shakes his head, wondering what these dwarves were
thinking. Silly questions for his people. They should be asking
about great art carvings, or gold, or stone, things all dwarves are
familiar with. Instead, they are looking for a philosopher.
Dorhak doesn’t like these games.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
He loudly calls out, "I know of several such
things. Consciousness, Faith, Courage, and how many others?
Can you not come up with questions that have but one answer?"
<x-tab> </x-tab>
He spits on the ground and stands defiant, braced behind his
shield, mace in hand, ready for whatever they have to throw against him
despite the likelihood of not being capable of defending himself against
these wards.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Behind him Dorhak can hear Raddok translate. But Arawn
is studying the wall more carefully. The wards are intelligent and it
seems self aware. Very powerful, almost likely divine, magic
here. But the wards are here for testing of dwarves. Not
humans or elves. He knows dwarfs are a proud race but not the best
thinkers around. If only they could bypass the self-aware
thing? Surely the wards are listening but can they see? If
only he could communicate without communicating to Dorhak. He
know Sign Language? Course he'd have to look but would the wards
notice? What else could he do to help Dorhak?
<x-tab> </x-tab>
The Wards turn to yellow then quickly red, “Incorrect!” It
booms at least twice as loud as before. Then 2 seconds late a
rumble seems to be heard and it becomes louder and louder. It
passes all around the party in the cave.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Velf darts off to the entrance, “cave in!” Then he
runs into a large woman – Unali. He bolts backwards surprised then
noticed Fremea who furls her wings behind her. “What the-”
<x-tab> </x-tab>
The rumble stops. Dorhak grins. He has been in
thousands of caves. A infant dwarf could tell you if that rumble
was a minor slide or a full cave in. Rocks shift all the time. But
Dorhak realizes its vibrations are loud but not solid enough – for a cave
in. Its almost as if....no? Can't be. Could the
mountain – or the wards – have laughed slightly?
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Velf turns to the others then back to Unali, 'you two with
them? Fine.” He walks back to his place at the front just as Barbosa
glares at Arawn wondering if its time to throw Velf over the side.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Velf places hands on hips, “that has never happened
before. Ask them if this place is stable?' Raddok nods and
already can figure out the answer himself from his mine experience.
It was probably a minor rock shift to him.

Update...Saturday?
<x-tab> </x-tab>GM: Dorhak
is a tad busy lately so I have given a slight hint to Arawn and
others. So that more can help. That way we can move on.
This is the major issue with riddles in pbems is the time delay. :) Why I
try to avoid them. In the 20 years – 8 adventures I think I only
tried it twice? Riddles are better for table top games so can be done
fast. So that others (ALL) can help I added this bit and so we can
move on. Will try next update Sat based on what stuff I get.
Thanks guys!
