something you can't do at a table top. It'd be awkward for guys to speak
that way around guys. This is why I like PBEMS as can be very
detailed. You did well just like John and David does with their
posts. Most players just post who they stab and that's it.
Very blah. That's fine too but this is a role playing game not a
roll playing game. :) As to florida glad your sis is fine.

The dead Elf is taken. The party barely had time to
blink as it was over in only 30 seconds or so. Veren looks nervous
now that Razgar is up.
<u style="font-family:monospace"></u> <u style="font-family:monospace"></u>
Watching the fight Rocky simply mutters a "Humph"
upon seeing the elven fighter fall quickly to the tusker's blow. Then he
put away his arbalest, readies his shield and draws his bastard sword
while stepping forward and states "U'd sayd u'd fight fer the group
an I dun go back un me word."
<u style="font-family:monospace"></u> <u style="font-family:monospace"></u>
He looks at Razgor and says "I dun know which of us iz
bettar, Wez both brave enuf. The better of us should be the one ta fight
da tusker. I know I am both strong and skilled. I dun know how ya
rate."
<u style="font-family:monospace"></u> <u style="font-family:monospace"></u>
Razgar answers, "Yelmalio will know the truth of
that." to Rocky and readies his pike. He steps forward to take the
tusker on.
<u style="font-family:monospace"></u> <u style="font-family:monospace"></u>
Razgar will use the length and reach of his pike to his
advantage, and tries to find any additional advantage that his Battle
skill grants him. He looks for a weak spot or an unguarded side on his
opponent and exploit that if he finds it.
<u style="font-family:monospace"></u> <u style="font-family:monospace"></u>
Juno prays to his Power to give Razgor and Rocky boons to
Protect their bodies and Sharpen their Weapon, if it is in their heart
that they want to accept them.
<u style="font-family:monospace"></u> <u style="font-family:monospace"></u>
<u style="font-family:monospace"></u> <u style="font-family:monospace"></u>
Being a soldier for most of his life, Mournath does not care
for this ritualized form of battle. He understands what little chance the
party has of surviving if this escalates to whole-sale slaughter.
Running to the tree lines is fruitless, as he agrees that they'd be
picked off by arrows before they made any progress. The Tuskers would
grind them into the ground with their superior land speed if they were to
take off across the ground. Still, this might devolve into a battle
royale soon enough and perhaps, during that chaos, they could slip away.
The chances are grim either way. Mournath casts a prayer to what gods
might be listening that their own champion will fare better than the elf
that is being carried away now.
<u style="font-family:monospace"></u> <u style="font-family:monospace"></u>
Juno speaks low and casts his two spells on Razgor and his
pike.
<u style="font-family:monospace"></u> <u style="font-family:monospace"></u>
As he does Razgor ignores the standing tusk rider and
glances at the tuskrider on their tusks. He digs deep onto his
battle and his herd skills. While Battle is more for large forces
not single fighters he scans for a weaknesses. The Herd skill
actually helps him as he watches the others sitting on the tusks.
He notices that the riders are leaning to the right and that opens their
left side to a good strike. The way they are in this herd he
figures they believe in a pack attack rather than pinpoint strikes.
That also gives him an edge in the lack of confidence. He turns to
face the tuskrider and raises his pike ready.
<u style="font-family:monospace"></u> <u style="font-family:monospace"></u>
Juno in an effort to give this brave soul our champion these
boons goes into a deep trance and feels the power rush thru him. He
loves this feeling it is addicting and intoxicating.
<u style="font-family:monospace"></u> <u style="font-family:monospace"></u>
For the first time he feels very very afraid deeply
afraid. Juno has never felt this presence of a dark and forbidding
force trying to stop the connection between his soul and his source of
power.
<u style="font-family:monospace"></u> <u style="font-family:monospace"></u>
A voice he recognizes says keep the balance keep the balance
it's Varo's voice ringing clear from the past like a cross between a
dream and a real conversation.
<u style="font-family:monospace"></u> <u style="font-family:monospace"></u>
Juno suddenly realizes he has not kept the balance. In
his mind he wrestles with this fear and balances it out like a see saw as
a kid in his cults playground. For the first time he does not feel
the rush he actually feels pure and not guilty. He thinks has found this
balance Varo once spoke of.
<u style="font-family:monospace"></u> <u style="font-family:monospace"></u>
A deep and booming voice speaks to him it is his god.
“You have mastered another stage of your gift.”
<u style="font-family:monospace"></u> <u style="font-family:monospace"></u>
“It will no longer make you feel intoxicated. Have no
fear I will allow you to transfer these boons to your heroic
champion.” When he comes out of the trance like state he tells Varo
what has happened. He hopes she understands and can help him to
understand what has happened to him.
<u style="font-family:monospace"></u> <u style="font-family:monospace"></u>
Juno thinks to himself, 'Perhaps he was helping others
to feel that rush and offered my assistance quickly as an excuse to want
to feel the intoxicated rush when he has used them. But this time he
really wanted to save the group to save our brave hero. He feels sorry
for these beasts must be a miserable existence. He want this to
end. Maybe this is part of my path to becoming a true rune priest?'
<u style="font-family:monospace"></u> <u style="font-family:monospace"></u>
Razgor also follows the elf by honor combat and waits for
the other to strike first.
<u style="font-family:monospace"></u> <u style="font-family:monospace"></u>
Razgor side steps right then twists and swings his pike
hitting the ugly tuskrider in the chest doing 7 points to his chest.
<u style="font-family:monospace"></u> <u style="font-family:monospace"></u>
The tuskrider staggers back and collapses onto his back.
<u style="font-family:monospace"></u> <u style="font-family:monospace"></u>
Razgor moves forward and towers over the rider but does not
strike. This is a ritual combats to strike a downed person
immediately is bad form. He waits for 30 seconds. Then the
rider regains his breath. Looks like someone in his group must've
helped healed him which is not to be unexpected.
<u style="font-family:monospace"></u> <u style="font-family:monospace"></u>
The rider stands and staggers a bit. Now a minute
passes and the rider grunts as if to say that may save his own
honor. The rider moves forward but a bit sluggish.
<u style="font-family:monospace"></u> <u style="font-family:monospace"></u>
Razgor smiles slightly as now blood has been drawn all bets
are off. He slices again and hits the rider in the chest already
wounded previously. He does the final damage and kills the rider.
<u style="font-family:monospace"></u> <u style="font-family:monospace"></u>
Before the rider hits the ground Leorik raises a hand and 4
arrows fly out landing near the tusks. “Steady! You have
lost. You must comply with the rules. Outlined.”
<u style="font-family:monospace"></u> <u style="font-family:monospace"></u>
The tuskrider leader shifts in his mount and grumbles and
snorts in his language. Two dismount and drag the body to the dead
rider's Tusk to mount him side mount. The rider leader turns to
Leorik.
<u style="font-family:monospace"></u> <u style="font-family:monospace"></u>
“We choose right to come this way next year.”
<u style="font-family:monospace"></u> <u style="font-family:monospace"></u>
Leorik shakes his head, “denied. This is our
forest. Come back in a small group maybe half dozen maybe.
But not a pack and not in strings of small packs to fool us. I am
prepared to help however. Take the path we said over the hills and
to the east of the forest. You may ride a mile out of the
forest. We will allow and even aid in fire wood as well as some
light game hunting we have done . You may eat what we hunt.
So long as you do not enter the forest and make a mess of it like last
time. Also any hint of fire within half a mile of the forest and we
will react unkindly.”
<u style="font-family:monospace"></u> <u style="font-family:monospace"></u>
The rider leader considers this and notices everyone is
staring at him. “It seems we have no choice. Is there something we
can offer from our side?”
<u style="font-family:monospace"></u> <u style="font-family:monospace"></u>
“Just warn others of our deal and the forest is off
limits. But there is something. In the east are rare plants
of purple and green. With a few thorns that bloom only after a
intense lightning storm. Lone elves seek these out for our own
purpose but is at risk in the open. Bring as many as you can and
we'll increase the food we can help with. Just be sure to cut from
the base of the plant not middle or top. Place them in a cloth sack
and deliver them to us as soon as possible. We will have eyes
watching you and will know if you wish to parlay.”
<u style="font-family:monospace"></u> <u style="font-family:monospace"></u>
The rider grunts and nods. He turns his tusk around
and waves to his group and to those at the human old camp to
follow. By now the camp has been stripped of all material useful to
them like wood or such.
<u style="font-family:monospace"></u> <u style="font-family:monospace"></u>
The tuskriders move east toward the hills all but the leader
who sits in his odd hide saddle. “Deal. But we will have our
own sentries in case you decide to attack us!” Then he rides fast
hard east to catch up with the others.
<u style="font-family:monospace"></u> <u style="font-family:monospace"></u>
Leorik faces Razgor, “well done.” He faces
Varen. “You are welcome into the forest if you so wish.
Humans tend to be more hospitable. Just keep the fire low key as you
humans say. My fellow elves will provide protection for your camp
so no need to do a full watch unless you want to. We will monitor
you until you leave the forest. Let's go.”

Ok. Another fast combat. As to Ian Wed. I had power
flickers for a few seconds. Thursday lost power 12-2. Very
little actual rain. Well a lot but it never flooded my
street. It was a typical summer storm to me Some high winds
but not that much damage if any. Was not as bad as Michael when we lost
power for 4-5 days. So next update I'll reflect any
experience. Good rpg posts! So today I was finishing up as was 98%
done Saturday. But then openoffice made the text 3 point. So like 1
pixel per letter. :) Took awhile to fix. It seems to be the Zoom
for the program. I hope the format is fine. I think its back to
normal but won't know until next update when start from scratch to watch
the format. So if this is messed up sorry. Next update let me know
what you want to do if anything. We'll move on and that may mean
leaving forest again going north to next possible encounter. Also
sorry Razgor I keep messing up name I use Aor O – nothing personal I just
keep forgetting to fix and to any one else out there. I mess up
Verk for Vern :)
