From Z'leyra: [Re: Necklace]
<x-tab> </x-tab><x-tab>
</x-tab>Z'leyra will ask
our fearless leader if she may learn Dwarf Elder by use of the necklace.
If granted she will ask him to speak in Dwarf Elder while she uses the
necklace to learn to speak that language.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
GM: Ack. No uses today but next 'day' when that is down
here.
<x-tab> </x-tab>

From Dorhak: [Re: Actions]
<x-tab> </x-tab><x-tab>
</x-tab>Dorhak looks back
with an expression that’s hard to read. "Aye. …
<x-tab> </x-tab>
GM: Ack.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
From Z'leyra [Re: Necklace]
<x-tab> </x-tab><x-tab>
</x-tab>Oops, my mistake.
I blame my bad memory. Turns out that Z'leyra already knows Dwarf Elder.
(speaking, though not reading). So she will assist someone else to learn
some language.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
GM: Ack.

Z'leyra asks Dorhak on using necklace to learn Dwarf.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Dorhak looks back with an expression that’s hard to
read. "Aye. Of course ye can. It’s not like it’s a
secret language. Even Raddok knows it!"
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Z'leyra uses necklace but nothing happened. Either it
failed or ran out of uses for the day.

[Time: 6:14 am MW time]
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Party breaks camp after a breakfast of fresh bird eggs found
by Pyan and Fremea and some nice blue berries. Some have simple
rations.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
<x-tab> </x-tab>
The party heads out north into the mountains – or at least
it is assumed north. This lack of stars or the sun is
distressful. It is deep dark but it has been 8 long hours of good
sleep so party should be fresh. The odd colorful overhead lights
blink on the brown and white plains all around making them a kaleidoscope
of shifting waves.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Even if its dark visibility is about half a mile so with the
open plains it is difficult to impossible to plan a ambush. There
are plenty of bushes and trees but most are so sparse its not a good
hiding spot. So with this said the party can spread out and a bit
more relaxed state.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
[Time: 10:03 am MW time]
<x-tab> </x-tab>
After 4 hours the party takes a lunch break. Fremea
flies to the watering hole they saw last recon before sleeping before it
got dark. A light meal is made and the party rests a bit.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Barbosa asks the King, “What is your experience here?
Will the other Bes back at the cave find their way here?”
<x-tab> </x-tab>
The King eats some fruit from his bag. “Most are
stories. Before becoming King I came here to do some rituals and
ceremonial stuff. Humans would call it a wakl-around or walk
abut? As you may guess not many Bes in Lower Regions. I
visited the dwarves...” he looks around. “I used our portal
ability. We could use that for now. But I suspect it could close if
only 1 person entered. Regardless, the dwarves here treated me the
same as Dorhak did initially. It took awhile to get them used to
me. The dwarves here are old style and set in their ways. So
secluded they have no idea of what is going on in middle world.
When I went back it was 4.5 months later. Unsure how long I stayed
here. Beyond that its mostly stories. In fact I asked
around. Our dwarf allies back home rarely venture here. Its not a
normal thing unless they have some agenda. As to the Bes.
I've been leaving signs as best I can. If they stick to a path due
north as we did they should find our camp. I left a tree bark note
and we should be leaving plenty of footprints that a blind Bes female
could track us!”
<x-tab> </x-tab>
[Time: 2:20 pm MW time]
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Finally the first twinges of daylight shines as the colorful
lights soon end. It'll take a few more hours of that odd eerie
daylight to shine.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Arawn notices as they walk everyone – mostly but especially
the magic users – aura is fully flashing. It seems the mana has
returned to the party.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
[Time: 5:01 pm MW time]
<x-tab> </x-tab>
It is getting brighter and so party uses spyglasses to get a
better view with the mountains about an hour away now. Unali, Arawn and
Fremea use each of their own spyglass (or found from silo) and discuss
best places to go. Most guess slightly north east is best place to
go so the party shifts in that area.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Fremea decides to fly ahead to scout out.
<x-tab> </x-tab>GM:
Actions? Comments?
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Next update....Wed/Sat?
<x-tab> </x-tab>GM:
A short update but no encounters. I will email Tobie the details on
his recon once he reaches mountains. I'll have to run the numbers
and see how long he has to spend before party arrives at edge of
mountains. After that he can give said report for any decisions to
be made. As to next week my last 3 days off till September.
IF I did a update it'd be Wednesday. If not or feel not in mood
will be Saturday. After that we shall see on 2 updates a week but
likely once a week if things get hectic. ;) If no update then Merry
Christmas and happy holidays to all! I'm sure we'll be
glad for 2020 to end. Stay tuned! BTW Monday 12/21 is the Great
Conjunction – Jupiter and Saturn so close in sky it will form the
“Christmas Star.” An event not seen for 800 years. Google local
details as it will vary on times to you or direction. For me its
after sunset in SE. But best to google it for an event we'll not
see again. To clarify, Mana Regen is back when the spell
failed it erased the entire Casting Ability pool. So you regen the
normal amount for that day so not much mana but some mana. But only
Arawn knows this for now.
