<x-tab> </x-tab>
<x-tab> </x-tab><x-tab>
</x-tab>(His personal
preference, & own personal immediate action, is to have the party
(the obvious members), gather behind Dorhak, so the dwarf is clearly
visible to the outside dwarves, but have party members turned partially
toward the cave residents, to protect themselves & show less possible
risk to the dwarves outside. But also be prepared for a 2-sided fight, if
necessary. What these dwarves want, & what the cave residents have
supposedly done, none of the adventurers' party know yet.)

</x-tab>OOC:
<x-tab> </x-tab><x-tab>
</x-tab>If a fight seems
like it's about to happen he'll cast Battle Mind at max EL (boost with
supernatural tongue) and include anyone who doesn't explicitly say they
wish to be left out of the spell. He'll start with those closest but will
not include Z'leyra as he should recognize her Clairvoyance spell and
doesn't want to risk the two spells interacting poorly.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
GM: Ack. I'll try to remember spell. :)
<x-tab> </x-tab>
From Raddok: [Re: Actions]
<x-tab> </x-tab><x-tab>
</x-tab>As Dorhak's
order, Raddok immediately starts a translation of what he heard to his
companions, from the unknown party outside the cave. He knows he will be
heard, but - what the hey ? - everyone who could be awakened was probably
awake by now. He's just relieved he can pass this conversation along. He
remains alert for action.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
GM: Ack.

<x-tab> </x-tab>[New
Stuff]
<x-tab> </x-tab>[Ma 3rd,
1636TH]<x-tab> </x-tab>
<x-tab> </x-tab>[Time:
?:?? am – Unknown]
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Kiet hears his language spoken and makes a quick
decision. He reaches over to Pyandalgor and taps him on the
shoulder. "Come with me!" He says quietly. He moves
toward the source of the Lemasan language he heard.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
When he gets close enough to start talking to them, he calls
out (a loud whisper in Lemasan) "Quiet, you fools! They'll
hear you! Quiet!"
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Pyan nods silently and follows behind Kiet, looking ahead to
see where Kiet is leading him still unsure of what he has planned.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Raddok, prepared to stay near Dorhak as ordered, &
preparing in his mind which of the sleepers might be the best target, is
shocked by the sudden call from outside - Dwarves!? Here?! This is a
conundrum. Do they now have one enemy or two?
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Hopefully, the human party are thieves or trespassers &
the dwarves have a legitimate agenda, but in any case, the party was not
connected with either those in front of or behind them, outside.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Preparing his mace & shield, since the horses seem to be
quiet enough, Raddok looks to Dorhak for a clue on what to do.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
The Captain reaches out to Raddok and says, "Translate
for the others."
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Dorhak realizes that the people in the cave, whether or not
they are the people we were following, probably are plenty awake and
aware now. Just great. Is
nothing simple anymore? He quickly chides himself, however, on not
leaving watch at the mouth of the cave. Stupid.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
He walks out toward the cave entrance, purposely letting
them see him, but keeping his shield ready and mace in hand. He
yells out, in Dwarf Elder "Cease
your silly bellyaching! We were just trying to find someplace
dry. Besides, by Goibnu's mug how the hell are we supposed to know
it’s you land? I thought
it was Kotothi land, by the gods, with the evidence we saw. You
allow snake headed gorillas on your land? Are ye daft?"
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Dorhak finally gets a good look at the person he thinks used
the dwarf's own language. "My name is Captain Dorhak.
And just who might you be?" A short
pause (pun intended) then he says "and what the hells are you?
By Dvallin's plaited hair! Your face is naked! Have you no
sense of decency or modesty?"
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Fremea hears strange sounds of yelling outside, it seems
familiar, yet does not place it. She thinks that it would be best if she
makes sure the others will not wake up and continues on her way to put
another one to sleep.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
She will use her wings slightly to move with her levitation
to the next one, quickly paralyzing the next one.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Arawn watched as Raddok joined Dorhak near the entrance and
Kiet took Pyan in the opposite direction. Pressing up against the wall or
moved to hide amidst the horses, whichever afforded the most cover and as
his training dictated, he considered the possibility of battle. Hoping
that diplomacy or stealth would prevent this he still decided it would be
best to prepare for the worst.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
"I'll join us in a Battle Mind if a fight seems
inevitable," he whispered to those still present.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Kiet and Pyan round the corner to see a dark set of forms
One seems motionless as the rest start to stir.
Pyan feels a breeze past him and wonders if that is Fremea?
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Fremea levitating pulled her bag to her chest and grabbed
the flask of paralytic poison. With one hand holding flash and
other her dagger she dips the dagger in flask. Then levitates over
to the stirring forms.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
One sits up on his elbows and looks around, “what is going
on?”
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Then suddenly before Fremea gets to him the man is knocked
to the ground unmoving. Fremea wonders if Unali is here but the
darkness is deep and no time to investigate.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Another does the same now sitting up on his butt looks
around and hears the outside folks. “They caught us!” He moves to
wake another but Fremea swipes her dagger against his arm deep enough to
cause a gash and the man falls back unable to move.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Outside the spokesperson waves his torch, “it is late do we
have to do this ? Fine. We'll do the routine! I am
Gnorf Knarlfinger and you are in the territory of Besam! You know
this already and are trespassers. You know the routine surrender,
leave your weapons. We'll take you into custody. Go to our
nearby village. Then in morning start the usual deportation
process! To make things simple for you humans we'll kick your butts
out of our lands. Surrender now and it'll be peaceful as
usual. Deny us and we'll take you by force – that means lethal
force which is granted to us! Listen you are surrounded by
overwhelming forces and in a cave we know only has one exit. It is
late and I have rum getting warm! Let's get this done!”
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Dorhak stares at the unbearded man-dwarf? Did he say
Besam? As in Besamar long cousins of the dwarves? He has never seen
one.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
From outside a figure speaks to the leader in a language not
known but Dorhak turns to check and no one knows it could it be the Besam
native language?
<x-tab> </x-tab>
The leader steps forward 5 paces and squints at the
entrance. “Captain you are a dwarf? You are helping these Harn
...pond scum?”
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Then a figure to Dorhak's left and Gnorf's right
approaches. Another dwarf with no beard. He whispers to Gnorf
waving to where the party came from. Gnorf does hand signals to the
hidden dwarves.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
“This has become serious! We found a dead human
nearby! Now we will need to investigate this and my rum will get
too warm tonight! Surrender now and we'll not smoke you out.”
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Arawn hears this and knows these people from his
studies. Not everything but in a generic sense. Is this the
Eastern Lands? That would mean they have indeed ended up thousands of
miles away. That would explain the darkness. But then Arawn
sees it. The book! By the first guard paralyzed. Just
behind the lantern. Could they have tried to read it? It is
just collecting dust now. He bends down and dusts it off. It
seems in good shape.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
By now all the Lemasans are paralyzed or knocked out.
Kiet, Pyan and Fremea return to main cave. Course that means they
can't alibi their story.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Everyone looks at Dorhak for orders now.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Dorhak hears rustling outside but it is hard to tell
numbers.

Actions? Comments?
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Next update...Wednesday?
<x-tab> </x-tab>GM: A good
spot to end for now. Was going to do larger update but stuff got in
way. Tuesday is last tue/thur of doc visits so after 6 months will
have a bit more free time. (doc visits for mom) So I can try to do
update Wednesday and maybe Saturday if we push it. Then Xmas is
week after. Then maybe 28t? So can try 2-3 more updates
before end of year. Then after that it'll be 5 day work weeks :<
for 8 months so that'll give a chance for 2 updates a week again.
We can hope. :) People.txt updated to note Gnorf's name.
<x-tab> </x-tab><x-tab>
</x-tab>Well that was the
plan above. This is a PS. I had update DONE saturday then
staff quit on me early So could not distrubite. Can't fire
them. Can't beat them. What can you do! Sorry for
delay. So new schedule? I can try to do a update Saturday?
Next week being Xmas will be busy so maybe 1226? Or that saturday? Will
try. Sorry
