<u style="font-family:monospace"></u> <u style="font-family:monospace"></u>
From Mournath: [Re: Actions]
<u style="font-family:monospace"></u> <u style="font-family:monospace"></u><u style="font-family:monospace"></u>
<u style="font-family:monospace"></u>Sorry for the
delay in posting. The holidays have been murder.
<u style="font-family:monospace"></u> <u style="font-family:monospace"></u><u style="font-family:monospace"></u>
<u style="font-family:monospace"></u>
<u style="font-family:monospace"></u> <u style="font-family:monospace"></u><u style="font-family:monospace"></u>
<u style="font-family:monospace"></u>Mournath moves
very slowly, knowing that fast motions may entice the serpent to bite. He
moves to grab his nearby knife ever so slowly.
<u style="font-family:monospace"></u> <u style="font-family:monospace"></u><u style="font-family:monospace"></u>
<u style="font-family:monospace"></u>[action] what I
HOPE to do is to slowly pierce the cloth of my pants not too close to the
snake, then very quickly slice the pant leg and lift the snake (hopefully
cutting it apart) with the blade, flinging it from my person.
<u style="font-family:monospace"></u> <u style="font-family:monospace"></u>
GM: Ack. No problem on delay you did fine even posting
early. ;)
<u style="font-family:monospace"></u> <u style="font-family:monospace"></u>
From Varo: [Re: Actions]
<u style="font-family:monospace"></u> <u style="font-family:monospace"></u><u style="font-family:monospace"></u>
<u style="font-family:monospace"></u>[ As an FYI &
because I have questions: according to my expense records for Varo, she
bought Healing twice (2nd level?, 2 points of Healing?) - not sure of the
game’s phrase/term. I assume she chooses how many POW pts to use per
each Healing chance. I will in future specify the points or level (?)
used. Does a healing spell negate or neutralize venoms/poisons? I only
saw info on wounds, so if Mournath gets injured she can help, but idk
about the poison; I know she will help with first aid at her current
level of knowledge/skill, & she has the healing kit, which might have
something to help remove poison, but I’m a bit unsure of what its
contents can do. I should think that as she travels, she already has some
kind of snakebite kit (small lancet, a leather-strip tourniquet, a
suction device & an ointment for poisons). I never specified she had
one with her healing kit, but such bits could already be being carried in
supplies.]
<u style="font-family:monospace"></u> <u style="font-family:monospace"></u><u style="font-family:monospace"></u>
<u style="font-family:monospace"></u>Varo will
continue to do guard duty as usual, although now that …
<u style="font-family:monospace"></u> <u style="font-family:monospace"></u>
GM: Ack. Yeah RQ2 is very limited on info. But it was
made over 4 decades ago. ;) Bit based on how it is the kit would be very
very basic bandages and such. Anything to stop bleeding but nothing to
heal like rq6. So I'd assume no snake stuff would be
default. There is a skill healing plants? I'd assume can help
locate such plants but again with basic rq2 rules its lacking. So
why hoping for votes. As to spells yes list what level you play and some
pow points equal level but may vary spell to spell.
<u style="font-family:monospace"></u> <u style="font-family:monospace"></u>
From Gerald: [Re: Varo's Post]
<u style="font-family:monospace"></u> <u style="font-family:monospace"></u><u style="font-family:monospace"></u>
<u style="font-family:monospace"></u>Good post very
good ideas.
<u style="font-family:monospace"></u> <u style="font-family:monospace"></u>
GM: Ack. I did notice RQ2 implies there is a first aid cult
skill taught by a certain cult. Maybe when they designed things
they had wanted to specialize the skills like healing but got
sidetracked?

<u style="font-family:monospace"></u> <u style="font-family:monospace"></u>[Waterday,
Fertility week, Storm Season, 1625, Genertela, Glorantha]
<u style="font-family:monospace"></u> <u style="font-family:monospace"></u>[Time:
4:36 am]
<u style="font-family:monospace"></u> <u style="font-family:monospace"></u>
Varo will continue to do guard duty as usual, although now
that she noticed Mournath moving a bit, she will glance back at him &
the others occasionally as well as listening, & watching for danger
from the edges & outside of camp. She also glances at the horses for
any signs of restlessness that might bear investigation. [idk if horses
can sense any snakes in camp from where they are.] She currently notices
nothing to cause alarm at the moment, but her bow is ready, & she
wears her rapier, as usual, with her shield on her back.
<u style="font-family:monospace"></u> <u style="font-family:monospace"></u>
Mournath reaches for his knife and tries to lean up without
moving his leg which is not a easy task. He gets the knife and up
20 degrees but cant reach his full leg. He moves up more now 45
degrees and only his foot moves slightly. Then using back muscles
strained to its limits he sits up and moves the knife from hip down
toward the knee He slices open the fabric and is glad he doesn’t
have heard leather or armor on. The snake stops moving and its head
is about a fingers length below his thigh.
<u style="font-family:monospace"></u> <u style="font-family:monospace"></u>
The knee shifts and the snake can sense danger and lunges
out not at the bony hip or the family jewels but toward the upper leg and
bites down. Now the snake is exposed an Mournath lifts the snake up
and the mouth declamps. Now snake hisses directly at Mournaths face
which is about a hands length away.
<u style="font-family:monospace"></u> <u style="font-family:monospace"></u>
Varo turns and rushes toward Mournath. The horses show
no sign of being scared.
<u style="font-family:monospace"></u> <u style="font-family:monospace"></u>
With snake head on tip of blade and moving to engage the arm
Mournath stretches skyward to pull the snake body out of his pants.
Then before it can lunge he tosses and flips the snake to his left with
his knife. At the same time he rolls right and stands in a
second.
<u style="font-family:monospace"></u> <u style="font-family:monospace"></u>
Varo spots the snake and slices it – taking off its head in
quick move.
<u style="font-family:monospace"></u> <u style="font-family:monospace"></u>
Mournath quickly checks his bite wound.
<u style="font-family:monospace"></u> <u style="font-family:monospace"></u>
The boots jogging by wakes Jaren and Marusks.
<u style="font-family:monospace"></u> <u style="font-family:monospace"></u>
Maurska yawns and sees Varo over a decapitated snake.
He gets closer and looks at Mournath. He picks up the snake body,
“No need to fear. This isn't poisonous. Pure black body with
no red or yellow. It's a rat snake of some kind.”
<u style="font-family:monospace"></u> <u style="font-family:monospace"></u>
The guide look sat the leg wound, “barely even broke skin so
no venom it seems. You'll be fine.”
<u style="font-family:monospace"></u> <u style="font-family:monospace"></u>
Then he goes back to bed.
<u style="font-family:monospace"></u> <u style="font-family:monospace"></u>
Mournath cleans up and then figures his new pants will have
a thin slice down it but will not be overaly cold. With leg leather
or fur it'll be fine.
<u style="font-family:monospace"></u> <u style="font-family:monospace"></u>
As breakfast is made Maruksa fries up the snake and says
better not to waste it. For that day there is no encounters and the
weather is good.
<u style="font-family:monospace"></u> <u style="font-family:monospace"></u>[Windsday,
Fertility week, Storm Season, 1625, Genertela, Glorantha]
<u style="font-family:monospace"></u> <u style="font-family:monospace"></u>[Time;
7:12 am]
<u style="font-family:monospace"></u> <u style="font-family:monospace"></u> The
party emerges on the side of a mountain looking over a deep valley to
left and front/north. Mists and light clouds can be seen at the top
of the valley. Maruska points to left, “this time of year those
mountains have severe rock slides so dangerous for the horses.
We'll head that way to the east..northeast.”
<u style="font-family:monospace"></u> <u style="font-family:monospace"></u>[Time:
9:40 am]
<u style="font-family:monospace"></u> <u style="font-family:monospace"></u>
Party is now about 130 miles north of Demark or so now.
<u style="font-family:monospace"></u> <u style="font-family:monospace"></u>
Party stops and hydrates themselves and horses. Mournath notices a
batch of berry – that are good to eat – bushes and pluck many. Varo
is combing her horse when she cocks her head. She shakes her head
and figures it was a bird she heard.
<u style="font-family:monospace"></u> <u style="font-family:monospace"></u>
Rocky talks to Razgar about the greatness of dwarf battle
axes compared to some human ones. But it is a fun argument.
<u style="font-family:monospace"></u> <u style="font-family:monospace"></u>
Varo stops and looks around. She hears the sound of
what seems to be crying? It has to be a bird right?
<u style="font-family:monospace"></u> <u style="font-family:monospace"></u>
Jeren looks around he must've noticed it.
<u style="font-family:monospace"></u> <u style="font-family:monospace"></u>
Veren waves his hand, “let's go!”
<u style="font-family:monospace"></u> <u style="font-family:monospace"></u>
Varo looks hesitant and Maruska places his water skin back
on his belt. “Is that a person?”
<u style="font-family:monospace"></u> <u style="font-family:monospace"></u>
Veren looks over, “what?”
<u style="font-family:monospace"></u> <u style="font-family:monospace"></u>
The guide says, “concentrate and hear ...sounds like its to
the east.”
<u style="font-family:monospace"></u> <u style="font-family:monospace"></u>
Veren shakes his head.
<u style="font-family:monospace"></u> <u style="font-family:monospace"></u>
Varo then realizes it is indeed a person. The sound of
the forest seems to carry it over some distance.
<u style="font-family:monospace"></u> <u style="font-family:monospace"></u>
Varo mounts up and moves slightly east but not far.
<u style="font-family:monospace"></u> <u style="font-family:monospace"></u>
Maruska looks over to Vern, 'should we investigate? Sounds
like a person may be wounded.”
<u style="font-family:monospace"></u> <u style="font-family:monospace"></u>
Veren scowls, “probably a trap....probably a bird...but I
rather not be side tracked for too long....we can do a quick check.”
<u style="font-family:monospace"></u> <u style="font-family:monospace"></u>
The party moves from going north to east. Four or so
minutes later Juno spots a form about 80 or so feet away. He grunts
and points.
<u style="font-family:monospace"></u> <u style="font-family:monospace"></u>
The horses then neigh and muffle in a normal way. The
form seem sot stand and run east. Varo and Razgor can tell its a
young boy.
<u style="font-family:monospace"></u> <u style="font-family:monospace"></u>
Varo more from instinct than awareness trots forward.
The distance slowly decreases between both horse and kid. Veren
says, “watch area....move forward carefully...”
<u style="font-family:monospace"></u> <u style="font-family:monospace"></u>
The kid stumbles and falls and rolls over. Varo stops
about 20 feet away and dismounts with hand on rapier in case others are
nearby. The kid's face shows signs of tears and he speaks but she
doesn't understand. She asks in tradetalk if he is ok. The
kid replies in a rough trade talk, “don't hurt me. I am
lost...need to find help for my village.”
<u style="font-family:monospace"></u> <u style="font-family:monospace"></u>
By now the party gets within 20 feet behind her but spots no
tracks or any other person in the bushes.
<u style="font-family:monospace"></u> <u style="font-family:monospace"></u>
The Kid around 8-9 is dressed in plain cloth pants and shirt
not well done and looks to be peasant quality. He has no weapons
aside from a sling, pouch on his belt and a water skin.

Next Update...Tue/Wed!
<u style="font-family:monospace"></u> <u style="font-family:monospace"></u>GM: A
short update. I hope everyone has a good new years. Wanted to get
this out before then. Though I guess too late for Wout. :) So my
vacations are all over and will go back to normal Tue/wed days off.
So update chances will be those days or maybe Fri/Sat if I'm lucky. So
may still get 2 updates if things go well. However I am strongly
considering a early early retirement. Cutting back hours say from
40 to 32 hours. Work less and get off earlier. If so that
could give me a few hours each day to do update as well. Figure do
that for 3-4 years till I fully do a early retirement. See ya guys
next year!
