</b> <x-tab> </x-tab>[Ma
9th,
1636TH]<x-tab> </x-tab>
<x-tab> </x-tab>[Time:
2:06 pm]
<x-tab> </x-tab>
The party reforms into the skirmish line setup by
Dorhak. The silence of the party is overwhelmed by the sounds of
the forest. Birds, insects and a few other larger animals are heard
occasionally. Now that the party has been outside in the forest the
cool air is nice about low 60s but not freezing. The sky seems to
have that odd twilight still as if its a constant eclipse or the time is
so off here its a long sunset?
<x-tab> </x-tab>
The forest seems so much different than a normal middle
world forest. It doesn't see to be some Sacred Forest which the
party visited – with the Green Lady and Forestal – it does seem a ancient
forest. Also there seems to be a more vibrant living entity than
other forests. Maybe this is the Elder force influence down
here. But with a living forest it is not all seeing or all
knowing. There are limits to the influence here by the forest.
<x-tab> </x-tab>[Time:
2:26 pm]
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Unali adjusts her tri-bracelet to make it more comfortable
as her wrists itch from the bracelet material.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Shortly later and about two miles later the party has made
good time. While the forest is thick with underbrush, the party moves
fast knowing time is critical.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
On the far right a bes guard gestures to the king. The
king frowns and moves off their set course more to the right and north
east. As the side group separates Barbosa notices this and nudges
Unali.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Another 70 feet or so and the King kneels down and inspects
a bunch of the ground. A minute later a Bes guard whistles to the
others.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Barbosa directs Unali to their location and yells a low yell
to get attention of the others.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Z'leyra does a low bird call and draws Dorhak's
attention.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Dorhak grumbles and moves eastward. He squints and sees the
King kneeling over a bush and grunts why can't these people avoid pretty
flowers?
<x-tab> </x-tab>
By now the other groups follow and the party as a whole near
the King.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
As they do they see a Bes body.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
<x-tab> </x-tab>
The King stands and frowns. The Bes has a spear lying
near with blood on it showing he must've got some strike in. But
mid way in his chest a single large slash shows a blade was used and it
was obviously a quick death.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
As Pyan nears his senses awake. It seems to show him
the light of a hunter – the gift hunters to see what is not seen by
others. He moves away to the north west and about 10 feet away
spots a spot where two sets of feet were. The Bes are wearing light
sandals. But the other Pyan can tell wore boots. Pyan can see
a scuffle with both moving back and forth in a dance of death.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Pyan returns to the body and more or less ignores it looking
for more clues. Then he spots a blood trial. It is literally
a couple drops only and no one else seems to spot it. He explains
what he found and points.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
The King says, “my orders were to avoid conflict. Just
to find a bit of civilization or way out of here. To fight...he
must've had no choice.”
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Pyan spots a 3rd set of foot impressions in the ground and
does not report this right away. The impressions are very light
almost impossible to see. Maybe a being like a small rabbit but
based on size of impression it looks to be boots for a person or being
weighing like a small child? He is in his depth and considers
telling the party this info but waves them forward as he tracks the
blood.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Another 30 feet north east and Pyan circles another
area. This time others notice bits of cloths. Z'leyra and
other healers can tell the clothes which are showing signs of blood show
that a person or being stopped here. Probably to bandage his or her
or its wounds. A intelligent response so not an animal.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Pyan picks up the trail again. The child boots though
seem to disappear and he is not sure what that is about. He waves
the party and the King says. “Should we take the body?” He turns to
a guard. “Can you carry him back to the cave?” The guard
nods.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Dorhak is about to order Pyan to stop when Z'leyra to the
left suddenly jumps back. Tsia draws her dagger and growls.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Unali sees ahead of her about 9 feet something that suddenly
appears. It almost looks like a tiny farm silo. Kiet has a silo
stricture on his estate but this is smaller like only a few feet
around. She then sees it goes from the ground and up. And
up. And up.. The tube or silo thing seems to ascend to the
canopy and beyond. Maybe over 100 feet high?
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Then Unali realizes her bracelet kicked in – it ended this
illusion of a forest tree to show this shaft tube thing.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Pyan stares around but loses the trail.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
As everyone stares at this silo shaft thing Unali pulls her
daggers and feels something wrong. She looks around. Moments
ago she had spotted a gray/black wolf in the trees move and she figured
it was just a forest creature moving away. But now in the distance in the
north about 50 feet she spots the wolf again but has turned and stares at
the party. A wolf would not stay if it knew it was a risk.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Kimis sniffs the air and moves slightly forward and Opus
moves with her around the silo to see what is on the other side of this
shaft. As she rounds the bush that is near it she spots a mass of
pink-reddish smoking powder. She grunts and calls for Opus to
inspect and as he reaches to touch she slaps his hands. Not wanting
to have him touch the stuff.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Arawn with his keen ears notices the forest sounds have
stopped. Raddok stares at the shaft. It is a green and brown
metal as if to blind in. Could it be a chimney? No too high.
A air shaft to a mine? Possible but its too high why so high?
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Raddok studies the terrain and realizes the ground is less
cluttered as if cleared by animals or people. The forest isn't
overrun here at least on the ground. Looking up he scans the
terrain. Then he sees the wolf as well. But he also notices
that the ground dirt seems alleviated by the wolf. It may only be a
few inches. But a miner notices these things. Could there be
a hole or cave there?
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Unali watches as the wolf looks left and right away from the
party. Does it see other wolves? No. Wolves would show
themselves. They aren’t as stealthy as tigers.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Unali's magical dagger vibrates in her wrist not literally
but in her mind. A crack is heard from behind. She twirls
around and spots figures in the forest moving this way.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Arawn hears it as well. Subtle things like movement by
creatures or...people. Then his keen eyes glance and spots figures
as well. Not wolves but figures – humanoid.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Opus looks at the smoking pile of powder that is about 5
feet long. He notices a sword nearby with blood on it. He
spots a ring in the powder and what looks to be a half destroyed – by
some unknown method – boot. Another boot is lying nearby but not
destroyed.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Arawn, Raddok and Unali all speak up on what they say at the
same time. The others seem to be staring at this shaft and do not seem to
notice.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Pyan notice the wolf seem to rear up and change – into a
female human. The nude female reaches for something in the nearby bush
and stands not caring about her modesty. She holds two
daggers.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Those who see the forms spot females all seem to be of the
same age maybe 20-30. Aside from the nude female the females are
wearing green and brown clothing that makes them blend in well to the
forest. They are moving around and toward the party fast. The
closest are about 50 feet away.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Unali sees the females emerge from the forest hidden or
already lying in wait. To the dagger maiden there is something
oddly familiar about them.

Next update...Wed/Thur?
<x-tab> </x-tab>GM: I had
really hope to get this out Thursday since had a small work window to do
it. But 2 hours later that was ruined. If had could've done 2
update next week. But now this delay causes weird schedule.
So if this is seen Saturday and there is a holiday some may be out of
town. So no time to reply by monday. So will see about
Wed/Thur next week assuming get a good start. For those who I gave
info above assume only you know these things until you disclose. IF
this goes to combat Opus I do 2 phases per update. So plan for 2
phases. Keep in mind this is 6 seconds so no big speeches can be
done. :) If you guys decide to fight I'll add info below. But if
one stalls that could be risky as well. In case forgot from old
update folks have no personal mana. But can cast via batteries and
magic items still work. Innates work as well since not mana.
For map below if its messes up see website as it tends to keep it aligned
properly. Its a primitive map not super graphical because I frankly
have 0 art skill and little time to draw such. So this bare bones
map is best. It seems cluttered now. But If folks are killed I
remove off map. I use lower/upper case letters due to number of
units. If this goes to combat 1 phase typically takes 3 hours for me to
process. With 30 plus units on map it maybe 4 dunno yet.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
For the females they wear green and brown forest clothing
that makes them blend in well. All seem to have daggers. Some
have scimitars. It is hard to tell of any missile weapons but no
obvious bows/quivers or large crossbows at least.
