<x-tab> </x-tab>[Recap]
<x-tab> </x-tab>
From Kiet: [Re: Actions]
<x-tab> </x-tab><x-tab>
</x-tab>"Grab the
climbing gear! We'll need it with our magic …
<x-tab> </x-tab>
GM: Ack.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
From Pyan: [Re: Actions]
<x-tab> </x-tab><x-tab>
</x-tab>Did Fremea just
refer to the group as "Family"?
<x-tab> </x-tab>
GM: Ack. Yep even she can get soft. :)
<x-tab> </x-tab>
From Fremea: [Re: Actions]
<x-tab> </x-tab><x-tab>
</x-tab>Fremea did refer
to some of the group as family. She may have not been clear about who it
is to her though.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
GM: Ack. Most parties that travel and fight together tend to
be family. :)
<x-tab> </x-tab>
From Raddok: [Re: Actions]
<x-tab> </x-tab><x-tab>
</x-tab>Raddok explains
to Arawn & the others what his amulet appears to …
<x-tab> </x-tab>
GM: Ack. The desk is basically dust and bits of wood.
So its like sifting through that no need to break anything. But
nothing is found as anything that would've been in it is gone – destroyed
by Destruction spell.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
From Dorhak: [Re: Actions]
<x-tab> </x-tab><x-tab>
</x-tab>Dorhak after
hears the suggestions to hang around longer and ask …
<x-tab> </x-tab>
GM: Ack.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
From Pyan: [Re: Actions]
<x-tab> </x-tab><x-tab>
</x-tab>(I can't remember
the layout so switch back to side or what ever) Pyan comes back from his
little excursion and waits four Dorhak to be free then …
<x-tab> </x-tab>
GM: Ack. Slightly edited version below.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
From Opus: [Re: Actions]
<x-tab> </x-tab><x-tab>
</x-tab>Opus checks to
make sure all his gear is ready and secure …
<x-tab> </x-tab>
GM: Ack.

9th,
1636TH]<x-tab> </x-tab>
<x-tab> </x-tab>
[Time: 2:43 pm]
<x-tab> </x-tab>
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Upon hearing report from those inside Kiet speaks up,
"Grab the climbing gear! We'll need it with our magic
depleted."
<x-tab> </x-tab>
"How many of you have done any serious climbing?"
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Barbosa shrugs, “climbing in a cave is different from a
cliff. Most dwarves can do the cave stuff. But the open sky
stuff is a bit more tricky.”
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Kimis hears translation, “in this land climbing is normal
but I am no expert.”
<x-tab> </x-tab>
The King checks his healed wounds, “I'm with Barbosa.”
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Raddok explains to Arawn & the others what his amulet
appears to be indicating about the presence of brass – the desk and the
unknown space above them, apparently not part of the silo. “I recommend
we keep an eye out in the general direction for whatever triggered the
amulet, since it may be a lock to match the key. Could we check out the
desk? – the brass seems melted, but drawers & such....” he indicates
with a curious shrug a search of the two areas, as they prepare to leave.
If there's an indication of interest from the others, he will use his
mace to break open the desk, if feasible, to enable a careful search. He
gives a polite bow to the vily. “I don't want to hold up your plans, but
I'd like to know we found every clue we can.” He looks to Arawn to
translate.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Dorhak after he hears the suggestions to hang around longer
and ask the Vily for more time, he cringes.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
"we need to be ready to leave as agreed. It won’t
go well for us to test her! Be ready to move out."
<x-tab> </x-tab>
As some see the smirking Pyan he gets close to Dorhak to
explain what he found while the others did their investigations.
Course if no one saw him leave he wonders if his back is being watched!
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Pyan comes back from his little excursion and waits for
Dorhak to be free then tells him he found a pit where food scraps have
been buried and latrine.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Also tracks he found. pointing out the one set of tracks
that seem heavy more worn in than others. From the silo NW and NW
of the stairs down it leads to a tree.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
He speaks of the broken bushes and limbs and the tree with
subtle signs of climbing.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
He mentions the faint signs of holes that may have
been where stakes where.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Pyan offers his opinions that it was used to hung food out
of reach of animals
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Opus checks to make sure all his gear is ready and secure
and says, “Let's go.”
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Asaria listens on top of the silo to the group.
Occasionally she cocks her head as if hearing bird calls or something her
allies are telling her. She watches as Pyan gives his report.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Pyan leads Dorhak and those, who wish to, to the north side
of the base. He points east and slightly NE explaining the pits and
latrine were found there some 90 or 100 feet away. Those who look
at the forest see no signs that Pyan does so his eyes of tracking is very
good. Ironic that he found the items and the “smart” wizards are
clueless.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Pyan shows the tree in question. It is about 90 feet
high or so. Lowest branch is about 8 feet up so probably used for
food if Pyan is correct. But there is no sign of rope. In
fact not much of any food was found. Maybe it was in or around the
desk and now destroyed?
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Pyan shows the holes in the tree where stakes were used for
a climb higher. Most true climbers do not bother with stakes so
this guy must've been low skilled. Pyan shows the broken limbs and
the faint tracks. No one walking by would've noticed the tracks
without serious concentration but a Hunter like Pyan would. The
stakes go up maybe 25 or so feet?
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Folks try to peer up to see anything else but it becomes
clear now. The rough damage to his boots, climbing gear and journal
full of birds. Clearly he liked to climb but some suspect not for
bird watching. The silo can be for that. So why climb this tree?
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Barbosa asks if other trees are treated the same? Pyan
shakes his head not seeing recent tracks at all around them.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
The King points to the top hole and a limb next to it that
could probably hold 2 men. “I suspect further investigation is in
order. Any climbers?”
<x-tab> </x-tab>
If only Fremea hadn't left so soon. The Vily places
hands on hips hearing this and knows this will mean more delays.
“Shiny one!” She lands next to Kikiet and walks near him.
Then with abnormal strength she grabs Kiet and flies upwards with
him. Kiet flew once with Raban but this is more awkward! The
armor seems to giggle at him? She lands on the limb the King
pointed out.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Kiet tries to gain his balance as the Vily holds his belt
and why is her other hand on his butt? “There.” She nods to
the tree at a darker area. The dark bark is obscuring the moss
hanging there. Kiet stares but only seers the Moss. “A
depression or hole in the tree. Reach inside!”
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Kiet hesitates the hole could not be seen from below but
reach inside? Blind? Maybe Pyan can do it? But he gets
impression if he doesn't she might leave him or he might be tempted to
see if he can fly naturally before impact.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Kiet with gloves hand brushes the moss away as she holds on
to him. Maybe he can fire a ring inside to show some fire
light? Nah trees and fire don't mix. HE reaches in with a dagger
and clinks something. But nothing seems to jump out and eat his
face. A good sign. He reaches in and finds a small bag a
large pouch. That reminds him no one looked in the small bag found in the
chest by Unali.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
He reaches back in and finds a box. Pulling it out it
is a brass container. That must be what Raddok detected. He
reaches in but finds nothing but a small cavity about 1.5 foot by 18
inches or so.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
The Vily lifts Kiet off and lands him back on the ground
before moving back to silo top. “Now will you leave?”
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Arawn finds no magic on the bag or container. The
pouch is a large pouch style and the Brass box is about 10 by 8
inches.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Dorhak decides maybe its time to move on. He can feel
eyes on him from the forest that must be her allies. What allies he
has no idea but they want this place back to a state of forest not stone
and wood.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
As the party march north some feel sad for the lost like
Mournath and the carnage. Why was Fremea known? Did the party bring
these witches here? They were not here for the party but for this
base. Either to stop or to destroy. But by who?
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Kiet glances back at the Vily. She yells, “No looking
back especially you shiny one! Try NOT to get in trouble in my
forest again!”
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Kiet glances back and at the container sees a small lock for
a small key.
<x-tab> </x-tab>GM:
Actions? Comments?
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Next update....Thursday or Saturday?
<x-tab> </x-tab>GM:A short
update. Clearly folks weren't getting the clues so lucky that Pyan
saved the day. :) Dorhak since all healed if want a new group
marching order let me know. Will do next update either Thursday or
if too busy Saturday.
