     Sepes 5, Thusuda in the 163rd Year [TH]
     Location: 14 Miles NW of Maren City, Plains/Road
     Time: 11:39pm, Partly Cloudy, No Moon, Party camp

     [Recap - Armor Assumptions]
      Ben'dar - Leather         Chion    - None
      Jordi   - None            Stri'bog - Quilted
      Unali   - Leather         Z'leyra  - Leather

                        -------------
     [Turn 1: Phase 1]

       [Mana Allocation]

         Xian and Caladan Allocate Mana.

       [Missile Fire]

         [None.  Too dark at this point and none prepared]

       [Magic Effect]

         [Quickly thinking Caldan knows the campfire is either
          out or gone or magically useless.  But he can still
          feel its heat so he figures its magical darkness.
          He quickly replays the campsite in his head having
          been walking around it for the past half hour.  He
          recalls theres a small bush to his back left.  No
          one was in that immediate area.  So he quickly
          casts a magical phrase.  He then twists 90
          degrees and raises his arm as he speaks the words.
          Suddenly the bush that is 2.5 feet tall and only
          about 2 feet wide bursts into flames.  This creates
          a flash of light and everyone sees this in some
          fashion from direct or indirectly (shadows, side
          vision).  Those who do not see it will be
          noted below.]

         [Xian sits up on his bedroll and quietly murmurs a
          quick enchantmen.t

       [Melee and Movement]

         [Farseeker now with light behind in some 20 odd feet away
          charges the 8 feet toward the female in front of him.
          He notices too late she is unarmed but is already
          swinging on her when he notices her eyes...the great
          sowrd slices through the air and hits the female in the
          left side and slashes a half inch of skin through her
          body almost from one side to another side.  The blade
          does 8 points of damage to her.  Blood flies outward
          in all directions but the female still stands...]

         [Firesnake leaves the neck of Caladan and flies in mid
          air for a second then darts off into the darkness..]

         [Trembyl having heard Farseeker yells grabs his scimitar
          and rushes forward.  The burning bush blocks his view
          of the monster coming from the other direction...He
          moves from G9 to E13 and thrusts his scimitar at her
          and hits doing 8 points of damage..and she still
          standing!]

         [Ben'dar wakes quickly and grabs his spear.  He finds
          himself in utter darkness not even the star light.
          He sees nothing.  He hears the horses and knows
          they are westward so he slowly walks that way at
          half his normal movement.  He ends up still in
          utter darkness.  But to his left he hears the
          fmailiar sounds of hooves and the snorts of horses
          hes heard for years around horses.  But his hair
          sticks out on the back of his neck when he hears
          a snort to his right...one hes never heard before...
          Actually in the time it takes a billion synapses
          to fire up in recalling memory Ben'dar realizes
          he HAS heard that sound before....just oer 3 months
          ago...and it belonged to a beast ...quickly with
          all his might Ben'dar pulls back and braces his
          feet and stabs forward with the spear ...it impacts
          hard hide and pentrates cracking the tissue and
          bones of ribes.  The spear goes in 3 inches and
          ben'dar pulls out as blood splatters everywhere..
          the beast roars in pain and then a loud thump is
          heard...Ben'dar did 24 points of impressive damage
          to the beast...]

         [Unali wakes up and grabs her daggers by her side.
          She exits her tent to find the campfire out.  She
          finds a burning bush and tries to look around.
          All she sees is Farseeker fighting someone.  She
          hear moving of some kind to her right...she tries
          to peer in that direction but its too dark.]

         [Thig wakes and grabs his repeating crossbow.  He
          then sticks his head out the tent and looks around
          in the darkness.  He can see better than most
          humans in the dark.  He looks to the right and
          left of his tent.  He notices the dogs are up and
          growling at something.  Thig decides to take to
          the sky for a better view...]

         [From the sky high above a flying creature spots
          his prey sitting on a bedroll near the burning
          bush.  The creature dives and tries to hit the
          target - Xian - with his club but fails to hit
          amazingly.  It flies back up into the darkness...]

         [Balrog wakes up and grabs his weapon.  But he is
          in complete darkness and dazed. He stands unsure
          of what's going on.]

         [From the Southeast a snort is heard in the distance
          but in the darkness its hard to tell distance..]
          
         [Z'leyra grabs her helm and dons it while grabbing
          her staff she standa.  She sees to her right
          a figure rush by then a snort and loud thump.
          To her forward left she sees the burning bush and
          those fighting a female in the distance.  She
          looks over her shouler and sees inky darkness.]

         [Strie'bog's Wolf stands and sniffs the air.  It
          growls as it spots something or hears something
          in the southeast.  It looks to Strie'bog and
          unsure if it should leave.  It decides to charge
          into the darkness sensing upcoming danger..]

         [Both Pogo and Ventrius (Thig's dog) know Thig is
          in the air they also decide to charge into the
          darkness toward the southeast with the wolf.]

         [Kasha wakes up and grabs his mace.  He quickly
          exits the tent and is also confused trying to
          assess the situation.]

         [Jordi hears the noise and dogs barking.  He grabs
          his bow and quiver and prepares them.  This takes
          up this phase of action.]

         [Chion stands and grabs his staff.  He looks around
          but sees nothing but darkness.  From his angle
          he doesn't even see the burning bush since the
          magical darkness blocks it.  He can't see his
          allies much less enemies.  But he can hear...he
          suddenly turns around and hears movement behind
          him of some kind.  Can use magic next phase since
          magic effect segment over.]

         [Strie'bog wakes up and notices no flicker of campfire.
          He grabs his balalaika with one hand.  With the
          other he grabs his bow and quiver in one clump.  He
          heads for the tent exit.  He stands and slips on
          the instrument around his shoulder while putting
          the quiver on his other shoulder.  He looks around
          and sees the burning bush and the female being
          attacked by Farseeker.  But in the north is darkness
          and behind him he hears others but can't really
          see anything.  He notices the wolf is gone as well.]

         [The Eagle near Z'leyra perks up at the burning bush
          and takes quickly to the air and darkness.  It
          tries to circle the camp to see what is going on
          but then notices something else...no...two other
          things are in the air as well..]

         [The female Farseeker fights is unarmed and decides
          two versus one is bad.  She heads eastward...]

         [Near Chion a rustling in the sand is heard getting
          closer and a Ssssss hissing sound is heard..]

         [Xian decides to stay put but stands making sure he
          can finish his spell.  He grabs his staff but looks
          up to make sure no other aerial attacks are coming.]

         [By now the horses are begin to stir and get nervous.]

     Next update Friday  Turn 1 Phase 2
     Actions? Comments?

  Some minor reminders
    Balrog - In Darkness, confused
    Chion  - If you wish to continue with your actions can next phase
    Jordi  - Should have your gear next phase but likely won't be
             able to act till phase 3. :<
    Thig   - Thig, Eagle and Monster? in air
    Strie'bog - If you wish you can fire your bow per your actions
             at the female confirm if you wish to.
    Z'leyra - Your ready for actions but unsure of where new
              targets are.  The female you see...saw fled


  I will continue friday with phase 2.  Unfournately the darkness
  is a big problem here with seeing targets effectively.  Right
  now it possible friendly fire could result.

  No game site links updated just these 2 updates.
