GM: Ack. Added to this update since got just before I posted
other one. I like the role playing so many just post 1
liners. So I enjoy it! If you two decide to bury them that's fine
it can be done retroactive.

</x-tab>If she hears any
noise or sees movement, or even feels something is off, she will cast
Detect Enemy before lifting her bow. She has been praying under her
breath every few minutes to Ernalda, Earth Queen, to assist her in
maintaining Balance and Harmony. If she feels the need to cast her spell,
she will pray briefly βHoly Ernalda, grant me strength to fight chaos
and the enemies of harmony and balance,β? before using the spellword
& its gesture. Then drawing her bow, she waits to see if the spell
finds anything within range. If anything is sensed she will turn that way
and attempt to spot the enemy to target it. Since it's night, she knows
she must not fire blindly & hit a friend, & she knows it might
take a few seconds to identify anything she sees, or maybe hears. Caution
and alertness are her best friends now.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
GM: Ack. A good point I will assume always sentries do not
carry torches. If this is not case let me know if you are on sentry in
future updates.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
From Rocky: [Re: Watch]
<x-tab> </x-tab><x-tab>
</x-tab>As usual, Rocky
will take the watch having the darkest part of the night. Until then he
will be resting. Before resting he looks around and casts a Detection
spell near a low portion of ground. If awakened he will stand,
ready his armor and weapons and set to.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
GM: Ack. Detect what? So what is the darkest time? At
8 who can serve (Tarek assumed not to) 2 4 sentry duties. So 3
hours per 6pm-6am. So for you I guess you are requesting
11-2?

From Mournath: [Re: Watch]

party will not yet trust him, Mournath states "I'll double

</b> [Time: Evening]
<x-tab> </x-tab>
As the stranger Mournath enters the party.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Juno nods as he listens to Varo. He says, I to much
rather travel faster and lightly and avoid conflict. I don't see how our
choice of gods to follow conflicts.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
My father a wise man said to me when I was young and he
seen my First use of my powers.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
If you don't know where you're going any road will take you
there.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Do you know then continues to say. Any one who loves horses
the way you do and treats horses in the manner that you were showing
yourself to treat these beautiful beast I can only hold it I respect so
as a fellow horse rider I hold you in high respect so the two of us
should never have any conflict and given the opportunity in a case when
we retreat just remember we can always circle back around and meet up
later and help the crew.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
I think these gentlemen if we are to be the great people
that we are to become that we are destined to be to be the priest of our
Gods Then these men deserve a decent burial and whatever we have time for
and tools to do I am more than willing to give them a decent burial.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
But time and wounds and energy that we may need for the
road head. We should try to be as efficient and thoughtful to not waste
too much time and energy. As person of high faith and you as a person of
high faith we must anything ensure the dgingont of all life even of those
who were willing to kill us.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
So let us do what we can to ensure a proper ending of life
but server the greater good use of energy that is part of our journey
ahead.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Let me know what you want to do and I will server you and
your needs. We are both on roads but the same destination to server a
higher power.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Laughing out loud, my teachers say I think too much.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Juno bows and awaits any rebuttal.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Later as the others move the dead bodies and collect their
horses, Mournath notices the looks.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Knowing that the party will not yet trust him, Mournath
states "I'll double middle-watch with someone if you'd like.
Otherwise, I'm a fair hand at the stew pot if you'd like me to settle the
horses and throw together a meal in the morning." This after
Mournath has collected his horse and seen to the horses of the others if
they will allow him.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Tarek turns to Mournath, we now have 8 that can serve
sentry. I may but doubt I will need to. So during day all are
sentries. From around 6 to 6 am then we have 12 hours. I
suggest a 2 man sentry shift. One to be around camp and one to be
more hidden. So 4 teams for 12 hours is 3 hour shifts.
Leaving 9 to sleep and such. Doing a double would be taxing for
you. Best to keep you sharp. As to the food sure I'm all for
good stew!
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Varo will not allow Mournath to care for her horse, until
she can observe him caring for his own, & she's cautious about him
yet, so will observe how he cares for the horses once or twice before
allowing him to work with hers unobserved.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
She's sensitive about her mare's training, wanting the mare
to trust her above anyone else, so wants to spend some time with the
horse daily, even though it means having to ride away from the walkers,
to either scout ahead or behind the group near Tarek, or along the
outskirts of the general direction they are traveling. She also feels it
will help her stay more alert for possible trouble.

-----------------------
<x-tab> </x-tab>[Wildday,
Death week, Storm Season, 1625, Dragon Pass, Genertela, Glorantha]
</b> [Time: Afternoon North of Demark]
<x-tab> </x-tab>[Time:
8:47 pm]
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Varo walks her sentry path, moving as quietly as she can in
the dark. The fire is about 30 feet away, so although it's pretty dark
around her, she tries not to look back directly at the fire to avoid
night blindness. She is supposed to be the visible sentry, but she still
wants to avoid showing an obvious silhouette against the flames, so if
cover is present, she will move among any shrubs and trees, pausing at
irregular intervals to keep her path as irregular as possible within the
area she is covering. She might as well be smart enough to try to
discourage any sneakers-about by showing she wasn't a complete idiot
about watch duty, even if she was visible. Besides, standing still made
her feel very vulnerable.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
The night is quiet and her bow is in her left hand, loaded
& ready to be lifted and drawn at any sound or visible movement. She
looks every few minutes back at the horses, to see if they appear
restless, or seem to sense anything.
Varo
If she hears any noise or sees movement, or even feels something is off,
she will cast Detect Enemy before lifting her bow. She has been praying
under her breath every few minutes to Ernalda, Earth Queen, to assist her
in maintaining Balance and Harmony. If she feels the need to cast her
spell, she will pray briefly Holy Ernalda, grant me strength to fight
chaos and the enemies of harmony and balance, before using the
spellword & its gesture. Then drawing her bow, she waits to see if
the spell finds anything within range. If anything is sensed she will
turn that way and attempt to spot the enemy to target it. Since it's
night, she knows she must not fire blindly & hit a friend, & she
knows it might take a few seconds to identify anything she sees, or maybe
hears. Caution and alertness are her best friends now.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Razgor curses under his breath. " Where is the sun when
you need it."
<x-tab> </x-tab>
He pulls up his pants as quickly as he can, stuffing the
leafs he had picked in his pants rather than dropping them. Damn whatever
it is, could he just have five minutes. Not even time to clean up. This
means washing his clothes probably. Not his first love. Get that belt
fastened. Would not be good to have his pants drop. He frantic ties his
pants and does up his belt.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Now where is his pike. Why did he not take that to hold. A
knife then at least. Damn whatever is prowling out here. Once he
pulls a knife out he checks to make sure he has been spotted by whatever
is out there. He thinks he is, but if whatever it is seems to ignore him
he moves back to camp. However, if it is prowling, observing, moving
towards him, or even attacking, calls out loudly: "Who is there.
Show yourself." Hopefully loud enough to be heard from the camp.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
He readies the best weapon he has (probably a knife in this
situation) in a defensive stance. Then he starts to circle back to camp
if he can, facing the whatever it is he spotted if he can and
sidestepping towards the light if needed.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Razgor realizes he did bring his spear. Daggers are
nice to cut leaves for paper but boars are common in forest. Having boar
tusk buried inside a naked butt is to good. So the spear is best to
use while away from camp. He grabs it and studies the orange
creature. It speaks his words to ID it and his battle skill does
tell him he needs to hit the large body behind the orange 'head'
thing. Better chance. The orange head or wait a orange
tail? The orange head seems to be to his left so he decides to move
right.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Before Razgor speaks Varo does glance at the horses who have
moves slightly more south and seem skittish. Varo tenses then hears
the words that are muffled to the north. Where Razgor moved.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
The creature turns and growls smelling Razgor and moves
toward him. He stares at Razgor then Razgor moves forward lifting
his foot then ...lifting his foot...lifting...
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Why isn't his foot working? Wait his fingers aren't
either. Oh great. He feels paralyzed and can't move but he
remains standing holding his spear.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Jaren yells, To arms!
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Varo casts her spell but senses nothing either the spell
failed or too far. Yet based on what Razgor said there has to be
something in the north. She moves quickly that way.
<x-tab> </x-tab>[Round 3]
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Varo and Juno being up and alert move to the north.
But it will take a bit of time to get to Razgor.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
The creature gets within a few feet and Razgor can see it
has a orange odd face but otherwise looks like a shaggy bear. The
creature sniffs Razgor then knocks him down. Oh great now to be
eaten and can't even yell, Razgor thinks to himself. The creature
opens jaw and grabs Razgor's shirt. How nice to grip that and not
his neck. The creature begins to drag Razgor further north.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Varo heads north followed by Juno.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Klorgar then Rocky follows.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Maursk grabs a log from the fire to use as a torch and heads
north to join the others.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Tarek sees Mournath moves but says, wait here. If
this is a ploy to clear the camp...
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Mournath nods and that makes sense. So he watches the
area as Tarek and Jarek remain near the fire with drawn weapons.
<x-tab> </x-tab>[Phase 6]
<x-tab> </x-tab>
The creature has dragged about 22 feet north now about 104
feet from camp.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Varo is now 90 feet away from camp and spots the creature
dragging something. Is that Razgor?
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Juno is about 10 feet (80 feet north of camp) behind Varo as
he closes in.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
The creature hears the new humans and lifts his head and
growls. He moves away and to a bush.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Varo lifts and aims at the creature as it dots into the
bush. It is dark so a difficult shot. The arrow hits the
creature in his left arm front leg doing 1 point.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
The others are a good 50 feet behind her.
<x-tab> </x-tab>[Round 7]
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Varo raises her bow to fire again and pulls the bow string
back...or tries too. She finds herself not able to move or speak.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Juno moves up and stares at Varo do something! He
spots the creature and fires his own bow. Juno's Composite Bow hits
the same place left arm/front left leg doing 5 points. The creature
collapses losing use of that limb for 4 points. But it recovers since
have 3 other limbs.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
The creature lifts his head and growls staring at
Juno.
<x-tab> </x-tab>[Round 7]
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Varo stares and holds the bow. But does not move yet.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Juno grunts to Varo why isn't she firing!? Juno aims again
and fires again but misses.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
The creature growls and tries to crawl backwards while
looking at Juno.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
But nothing comes to affect Juno. By now Rocky,
Klorgor and Murusk join the other2.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
The guide waves his torch to get a better look. The
creature is about 25 feet to the north of them.
<x-tab> </x-tab>[Round 8]
<x-tab> </x-tab>GM:
Actions? Comments?
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Next Update...Thursday will try if not Saturday.
<x-tab> </x-tab>GM: So
that's about 1.5 minutes of action. The creature is hurt but
moving. What do you do now? Razgor and Varo are
paralyzed. Juno, Rocky, Klorgor and Marusk are able to move at this
point. I don't think we really need a map here as its just 1
creature you believe. Mournath if you want to ignore Tareks
suggestion you can do so. For those approaching Varo you will not
understand situation until 1 round before maybe 1.5. For any
actions before hand
<x-tab> </x-tab>GM:
Positions:
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Varo 24-25 feet from creature south paralyzed
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Juno 23-26 feet from creature south
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Razgor 4-5 feet east (to creature's left) on ground
facing up paralyzed
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Rocky, Klorgor, Marusk 30-32 feet from creature
south of it behind Juno.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Mournath, Tarek, Jarek Camp 105-110 feet south of
creature.
