     Game Update #281 in sequence (file #474)
     ----------------------------------------------------------------

     [Recap]     - None
     [New Stuff  - Current Situation]

        From Z'leyra: [Re: Actions]                             
          Z'leyra suggests that someone who can (but hasn't
          recently) cast Knowledge cast Purification and Knowledge
          to find the password.
        GM: Ack.

        From Jordi: [Re: Actions]
          (OOC: I have been thinking about it, and I haven't any
          better idea than Alex's.)   Jordi thinks for some seconds.
ff
          "Well, I can do it.  I am not a good magician, but I can
           try it.  Only once, I'm not powerful enough to use it more
           than once.  Sorry."

          Jordi retreats to a place in the sixth level where he can
          cast the spells, protected by Neva.  He tries to cast
          purification and knowledge; if purification fails, he tries
          to re-cast it until he is left with the mana points necessary
          to cast knowledge; then, he tries to cast knowledge, no
          matter what the consequences are, unless someone else tries
          it, of course. If Knowledge spell works, Jordi asks in a
          very humble way (he will make the effort) to the elven gods
          for the password.  Jordi will try to remark the importance
          of the mission that the party is doing for the welfare of
          the Sidh people, nad the danger that the Climans represent.
          Once with the password, Jordi returns to join the party,
          and tells them inmediately the password.
        GM: Ack.  Casting is ok.  You gain 14 MEP.  Gain spell EP
          and you are now at 80% mana use.  Leaving 20% mana left.

     ---------------------------Actions---------------------------

      Time: Estimated  7:03am-7:18am  - Morning Day 22

      [Level 6]

         [Room M]

           [Thig examines the messy room.  Papers have been burnt
            and there is nothing of great value in the desk.  He
            examines the room and notices something odd.  One
            section of wall seems more disturbed by the whirlwind.
            The walls have been scoured by sand and most dust and
            sand is now on the ground that was loose.  But this section
            seems untouched.  He closes near it and whips his hands
            on it.  Odd to the touch he taps it and finds its not
            rocks but some kind of hard wood.  He smiles.  Must be
            some kind of safe.  He senses no magic from it.  He takes
            a dagger and picks around it to make a quick outline of
            the area.  He finally finds a small area the size of a
            small circle for a finger?  He inserts his dagger but it
            is too big so he tries his small finger and pulls.  The
            small wooden piece opens.  Not much of a safe.  But it
            was well disguised.  Maybe they didn't expect thieves to
            get this far.  He finds a small niche in the wall the size
            of a small TV (as comparison).  He finds several scrolls.
            He pulls them out to examine.]

         [North Hallway]

           [Trembyl still unconscious in a deep healing trance has
            another one of his dreams that seem to make his body
            twitch ever so slightly as if in a bad dream...]

      [Level 7]

          [Z'leyra suggests the spell and waits to see if anyone takes
           it and runs with it. ]

          [Jordi ponders it and takes the chance.  He and a few others
           head to level 6 for a clear area to cast the Knowledge spell.]

          [Jordi sits indian style on the ground and concentrates.  Then
           he casts the purification spell.  Hard to tell if that spell
           ever works or not but he feels it may have since the gloom
           of chaos exposure seems to have left his immediate area.  He
           then concentrates again and casts Knowledge.  He asks quietly
           for the password and waits.  But almost instantly a answer
           comes back.  A ghostly like female voice that sounds quite
           attractive and young whispers to him one word.  He hears
           it mentally and then opens his eyes.  Wow.  A quick response.
           He heard wizards cast this spell before and wait a good
           few seconds and even half a minute to get a answer.  Someone
           must be looking out for the party?  Jordi stands and quickly
           heads for level 7 again.]

      [Level 7]

         [Farseeker sees Jordi and asks..]
         Farseeker: "You got the word by that magic thing? [Jordi nods]"

         [Xian saw Jordi come down and then go back up.  Instead of
          heading to Timon's office he returns back to level 7 to hear
          the news.]

         Neva: "Let me go first."

         [Xian shakes his head.  By this time Jordi is visible as
          the spell has ended a minute before.]
          Xian: "Jordi and I will head first.  I'll cast another
            cloak spell and hold on to him.  I'll depend on his
            magic sense to watch for other spells.  Its best we
            both go.  If we fail I can walk through walls and if
            that spell sends us we might be able to get out.  If
            it didn't send Unali to her death."

          GM: Plus doing this for the above nd to save some mana
            for Jordi since hes also weak in mana and will need
            more soon :)

          [Xian grabs Jordi then asks..]
          Xian: "Ready?  We'll mover the line but speak the
            password out quickly."

          [Xian and Jordi go invisible again and Xian leads
           slightly.  As they round the corner and get to
           where the dirt line seems to make the tracks different
           where folks stopped to give the password, Jordi though
           with a loud whisper gives the password.  He doens't
           know how loud he can yell and be heard.]

          Jordi: "Stockcade!"

          [A slight echo...the group prays it didn't sound but
           it has to be said.  What a strange word.  But it
           may make sense if it sends it to some jail area?
           They step over the line and then another foot...another..
           nothing...the inset gem seems to have winked quickly
           green hue that is barely visible and they continue...]

          [Farseeker turns to the others.]
          Farseeker: "Did you hear the word?  We move in a few
            seconds..Each should say it, as loudly as he did.
            We'll have to rush to figure if we got heard or not."

      [Level 6]

         [Room M]

           [Thig pulls out a tied scroll that seems to be about 5
            pages.  He shrugs since he can't read it but it looks
            kinda important.  He pockets it in his tunic and
            looks around the room again.]

      [Level 7]

         [Xian and Jordi move about 30 feet to the wall then round
          a corner and find the hall going west.  They travel for
          a few seconds and don't spot anyone.  They find two doors
          around the corner.  No one in the hallway.  Good the
          door should have muffled the noise.  They quickly head
          back and Xian gives the all clear after repeating the
          password coming back.  They then return to the doors.
          Xian quietly listens and hears talking but very muffled
          as if a distance away.  He opens the door ever so slightly.
          They open inward toward them.  They notice a guard standing
          right near there with a bow.  He seems to just be resting
          against the wall.  Maybe that was the noise they heard
          earlier?  Xian peeks out the door and looks the other way
          to find a hallway leading west.  With it looks like 4
          more guards.  He closes the door.  By this time Farseeker,
          Aren and Z'leyra meet them.  He whispers...]

         Xian: "Looks like five guards in the hallway here.  Some
          quite a distance away.  One at least 90 feet down the
          hallway.  My spell will end in maybe half a minute max.
          Plans?"

         [The others slowly begin their trek to catch up to the
          others.  Suresh has Ris stay to give the password to
          the others if they come up.  Ris has to hear the word
          and repeat it back as best he can in his tongue but
          seems to be close to Marentian.]

      [Four minutes pass..]

    The * is the stair entrance to 6.

    T = The gem or whatever inlaid against that fall wall.
    G = Guard estimated positions.  I45 Guard definite.
        I45 Guard Bow, Sword, Leather.  Bow on shoulder and Sword
        in hand.  Wearing leather.

    Jordi sees the guard as Xian did.  Only leather for a guard
    this high?  When level 5 had some in chain and plate?  Odd.

    Invisibility spell duration another 30 seconds maybe.
