</x-tab>[OOC:
If accepted by Fremea Arawn will speak with the eldest child, explaining
the reason for the spell in hopes of bringing the men to justice. If she
agrees, Arawn will cast Eye of Mystery (max EL) to experience everything
she did from the moment she was captured until the men disappeared.]

GM: Ack. Bess! Rest girl! No need for game stuff for a long
while. Things are slow now. Take time and rest/recover.

From John: [Re: Bess]
<x-tab> </x-tab><x-tab>
</x-tab>[I'm sorry to
hear that you're not feeling well. I hope you recover soon:)
As for the coppers, I'm sure that the kids would be happy with that as it
could buy them several treats! Or you can always donate to Fremea's
Orphanage at some point.]
<x-tab> </x-tab>
GM: Ack.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
From Z'leyra: [Re: Akasha]
<x-tab> </x-tab><x-tab>
</x-tab>IF we are at the
place where we want to view the past Z'leyra can do the Akasha spell. To
have folks other than her to see it she will tie a Major Illusion to show
what the Aasha shows her. First she casts Balance Purification max EL
thru Staff for Akasha and Sidh Purification EL0 for the illusion then
casts the spells thru Staff to show what happened.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
GM: Ack. Doing so will delay teleport back 2 hours.
Takes about 45 min to get back to park but with darkness a hour probably.
Then back to village. But as I warned in previous update is it
worth it? To possibly get abysmal? As Warned things to consider: 1) enemy
knew party 2) enemy had the anti magic cubes prepared where you would
show up 3) enemy took hostages 4) enemy knew what they wanted ahead of
time 5) enemy teleported away before capture as did any evidence of cubes
6) sent the witches to a diff world to silo. All this adds up they
weren't prepared? So if you think a spell might just reveal
it. Go for it :) But a simple Int roll by Arawn and you should show
otherwise. But it could be a red herring and it may simply
work. Or backfire. Besides think of it logically. You
see the men wait in forest. Wait. Wait. Wait. You see
mother and daughter probably plea and struggle. You see big bad guy
stroke his chin evilly and laugh like a bad guy. What will this
tell you? Its not like he'll whip out a letter with his address on
it. Sometimes magic is limited on its use. Let me know if you
will still do this as now it seems a option. If so I'll just change
the below time by 2 hours. Thanks!

Stuff]

[Augado 13, 1636?TH]<x-tab> </x-tab>
<x-tab> </x-tab>[Time:
8:34 pm – Marentian eastern village]
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Arawn can see what Fremea is thinking on tracking the
enemy. It doesn't take a empath to figure that out just a person
who knows a Faerry who upholds kids.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
"If she can't I have my own way of doing so," he
offered. "If the eldest child is willing, I can experience
everything she witnessed, including faces and anything spoken in front of
her."
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Once the Kids are packed up they return to the
campfire. Arawn explains his plan to the older girl refuses.
Clearly too frighten from the trauma and not
wanting to recall any of it. The Elder nods that he agrees it
should not be done this early.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Later Elder speaks of the strange Faerry rumored in Sivas.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
"And I think you speak of Kaylle, a scholar, librarian,
and friend. He's a wonderful faerry. Likely the children will meet him at
some point," he added, when the elder mentioned the other faerry to
Fremea.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
"When she is homesick, she can be accompanied back to
the village for a visit or someone can come to visit her, whichever is
best," Arawn said to the elder. "And if the eldest, wishes for
and is ready for Maren in the future, we'll help with that."
<x-tab> </x-tab>
"And I think you speak of Kaylle, a scholar, librarian,
and friend. He's a wonderful faerry. Likely the children will meet him at
some point," he added, when the elder mentioned the other faerry to
Fremea.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Raddok listens to the others' plans & is very pleased
that his new friends want to help the orphaned children & have the
capability to do so. He offers to give a few copper coins to the eldest
girl so the children have a little spending money for a couple needs that
might come up, or for special treats. [unless a silver coin sounds more
useful? - opinions?] Raddok would like to give what others feel is a good
amount for him. Although he is aware that the others have more funds than
he does, he can help with a special treat for the children.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Raddok will go wherever the teleport will go, which is
wherever group decides is the best way to proceed to retrieve their
mounts & belongings.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Raddok grabs some of his copper coins and hands 1 to each of
the 3 kids. The older 2 (8 & 12) light up and smile dreaming of what
to buy. The youngest at 6 seems confused. Clearly the
youngest will need the special attention. Uplifting a family to
some wild area is a traumatic thing. It is amazing that even the
village is just throwing or releasing them to strangers makes either the
party's reputation or village need to give them a better life.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
The elder looks at Unali, “I know of you and stories.
When you came this way on tour with Duke Aren we saw what appreciation he
had for you. Him and Duke Eba are respected in this area.
This is why the kid go with you. To give them a life we can give
but a better life.”
<x-tab> </x-tab>[Time:
8:58 pm – Marentian eastern village]
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Arawn explains he'll take party outside of village since the
magic may startle some. Once there he gathers the 9 party members
and 3 kids. HE builds up magical energy for a translocation spell
and nods to the kids to close their eyes. The youngest and middle one
holds Arawn's hands as the oldest holds Unali's hands.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Then in what seems like 2 seconds the party appears on the
library roof at the preset teleport spot for Sivas. Suddenly the
birds make noises of being startled. The smell of salt water and
warm breeze is felt. Nearby the bird cages that Kaylle uses to
house pet birds and messenger birds all become alive with
excitement.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Downstairs in a warm candlelit room Kaylle hears the birds.
Is that nasty Hawk back? Can't even get a minute rest! Such a
fascinating book on Blood Candles – a cult who mixes blood with wax – is
a interesting subject! He grunts and goes to his open window and
jumps out. He flaps his wings and flies to the roof. Landing he
spots the party on the dark roof. He does soothing sounds to the
birds and then stops when he spots Fremea.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Kaylle runs over and hugs the archer. “You're
back!” He twirls Fremea around or tries to but is not strong
enough. He leans in closer then realizes there are others
here. “Oh! I see....we have new folks...come come.
Climb down and I'll get some tea and bread for you inside.”
<x-tab> </x-tab>
The party climbs the fire escape down from the 3rd floor to
the 1stand enters the warm library.
<x-tab> </x-tab><x-tab>
</x-tab>
<x-tab> </x-tab>
The party finds a large table and waits. Kaylle then
serves tea, water and warm bread and cheese. Fremea went to help
and the party could've swore they heard muffled giggling from the small
kitchen?
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Kaylle smiles and eyes the new comers of Raddok, the one eye
girl and the 2 red? HE steps back a bit. Confused but if they
are with the party they must be ok folks. When the ship is asked
about.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
“The one you 'acquired'? Captain Damon took it.
It actually returned a week or so ago. Or was it 4 weeks ago?
The horses are stored somewhere. Most of the gear was taken to
various places like Kiets or Z'leyra's manors. I'm sure you can get
that stuff back. The crew lost 2 on its return from pirates and
some monster I believe. That one girl XI or IX she left ship
and went somewhere. Don't know where.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Captain Damon felt the crew could use some money and he paid
for the 2 lost to be buried and sent home. He took the ship up to
Cholchara for a quick run. Should be back tomorrow or in a day at
most. He felt leaving a idle crew would be a waste. Actually
the crew said they waited a week for you on Vahear. When you never
came back the folks there gave impression they should leave. So
they did and came back here. They will be surprised you
returned. We had ….oh dear...”
<x-tab> </x-tab>
“WE...thought you were dead. It has been 3
months. Many told them otherwise. I don't know how this
affects your situations like the manors or such. I suspect you'll be fine
as they figure you would be gone for months.”
<x-tab> </x-tab>
He turned to Fremea, “your mom felt you were dead but I
refused and said you were not as I felt otherwise. She will be glad
to see you. Do you need me to escort you to the school? Looks
like you have new kids for the school.” HE looks at the 2 youngest
who with warm bread in belly are fast asleep on the table. “Walking alone
with kids this hour is not safe. So I'll go with you.”
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Fremea smiles, him escort her? He could not fight
against a book worm unless it was already dead.
<x-tab> </x-tab>[Time:
9:21 pm – Marentian eastern village]
<x-tab> </x-tab>GM:
Actions? Comments?
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Next Update....Unknown? Sat? Next week?
<x-tab> </x-tab>GM: That's
a rap! Adventure officially over. Thanks guys. It was a
fun experience in new lands and new worlds. Even after 38 years in
pnp I have yet to finish the entire PL world. I think I calculated
only 32% of the nations visited.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
So your ship and supplies are safe. Consider this Day
0 of IBT of the 24 days. I gave actual dates in last update I
believe. So you can give dates on what to do when when you are
ready. If the Akasha and other stuff goes on I'll consider that day
0 stuff.
<x-tab> </x-tab>As to
RuneQuest I have finished reading the rules. When I say read I mean
mostly as I did not read every line. I read the vital parts. Stuff
like monsters, spells and skills I did not. So for those new to the
game or too busy to read you don't need to per se. It is a good
idea to read up on magic, skills and Cults if you want to learn
ahead. I have a outline on the creation steps will post later today
or tomorrow. Now some notes on RQ. As with games made in 70s
its a hodge podge mess. 1st and 2nd (using 2nd) is a collection of
things but not well organized. While there are chapters there are
not sub sections like pnp has with numbering systems. So reading
can be cumbersome. I suspect later versions like 6th is better
organized. RQ went through several companies over the decades like
Games Workshop and Moon. As a result each reinvented the wheel and so in
many views messed up the original idea. Many consider 2nd ed to be
the best in terms of style and mechanics. With that said I learned
2nd and will go with that. However, I may use a bit of 6th in some
ways. So maybe 90% RQ2 and 10% RQ6. Mainly in terms of some
modern stuff but overall mechanics are RQ2. Things like Passions
and Reputation will be ignored (RQ6). With this said creation in
2nd is a bit awkward. There is no step by step process
like pnp so I'm gonna use a 6th ed step by step process.
</b> For those new to RQ it is a typical fantasy world.
It is like pnp in many regards but the central aspect is Runes.
Unlike most games anyone or all can use magic in RQ. It is rare to
have a person not to know magic. This makes RQ a different
game.
<x-tab> </x-tab>One aspect
I've found is maps are not as good as pnp pl. The old versions use
black and white hand written maps. The modern stuff uses colorful
and well drawn maps but are limited in ways. Many maps are based on
the Dragon Pass board game or can't be resized for a better map.
One map is well done but reading say cities is difficult as the name is
light black. Maybe I'm biased to PL but I can't find a map I'm
happy with. Even the one pdf source book (425 pages) of the world
is good info but so so maps. Maybe if I had a 6th ed hand held
map. We will use the Dragon Pass area as a adventure site.
But I may just do my own map and show that. :) I will try to
outline more stuff in the character guidelines. Stay tuned!
</b> I outlined options for how to do character in a
previous update. So I can help you if needed. Once I post my
guide sign up and put name in queue if you need help.
