     Game Update #34a in sequence (file #134]
     ----------------------------------------------------------------
      
     Admin notes: Minor correction in last update.  I mentioned the
     Hippogriffs have claws.  But in fact they would only have horse
     hooves for stomping and their large "mouth" a eagle like beak
     maybe for a bite attack.  So replace claws with one of these :)
     -----------------------------------------------------------------
     [Recap]

        From Jordi: [Re: Actions]
          Jordi will move slowly (to not scare his horse, who may be
          used to mist, but not to running into the mist) to the
          party, directly to the west, firing to the closest
          hippogriffts in range.

          He maintains the mist in place, until he is near the end
          of it (say one hex); then, he will move the mist to the
          west as much as he can, but taking care of remaining with
          his horse into the mist.
        GM: Ack. 

        From Chion: [Re: Actions]
          Chion will shout " Lookout Below " and let the spell go...
        GM: Ack.  Next phase then.  Since this leaves a few things
          open ended we'll see how it goes :)

        From Ben'dar: [Re: Actions]
          Wow, Ben'Dar's bow-shooting is craptacular so far.  Well,
          he's determined to hit at least once, so he'll keep shooting
          with the bow, unless one of the hippogriffs comes down to
          attack him up close, then he'll switch to the spear.

          As he fires his next arrow, he says "Arrow!  Black arrow!
          I have saved you to the last.  You have never failed me and
          always I have recovered you.  I had you from my father and
          he from of old.  If ever you came from the forges of the
          true king under the Mountain, go now and speed well!"

          (OK, he doesn't really say that...but it can't hurt to be
          thinking it.  Maybe he'll hit something!  ;-)  )
        GM: Yeah. Just bad rolls.  As to the dialogue best to hink
          it as too long to say it :)

    -----------------------------------------------------------------
    [New Stuff]

     Sepes 42, in the 163rd Year [TH]
       Location: River Sch (E) Riverbank, Zen'da Plains, 270 Miles
         North of Asichi City, Heading East from River, around 1pm

      [Turn 17: Phase 1]

         [Mana Allocation]

            [Z'leyra finish allocating mana]

         [Missile Fire]

            [Ben'dar aims at #4 but realizes Caladan is under it.
             Looks at #6 and too close to Balrog.  He twists to
             the left and looks at #2 trying to flank the group
             at 60 feet to his left.  He aims and fires his
             bow after saying his private prayer.  The arrow
             flies and impacts right on the left side wind near
             the shoulder.  It shatters the wing and pentrates
             the ribs of the creature doing 23 points of damage!
             Ben'dar gives a yelp o trimuph finally as the creature
             slams to the ground 10 feet away.]

            [Balrog grabs a throwing dagger from his belt and
             quickly throws it at #6 hitting it since its only
             feet away hits it for 4 points more of damage to it.]

            [Unali could aim sling at #4 but knows Caladan is right
             under it so too dangerous.]

            [Jordi turns and fires at #8 and hits doing 8 points
             of more damage to it.]

            [Strie'bog fires only good target he can #1 way up
             in the air but misses with his bow.]

         [Magic Effect]

            [Caladan looks up.  With a hand he nudges the firesnake
             closer to his shoulder to protect it from what's
             coming then with his other hand he finishes his spell
             and a fire dart flies out of his hand.  It hits
             #4 doing 14 points of damage to the creature which
             kills it as the fire spike tores through its body.
             The creature already dead does a flip backwards then
             lands about 6 feet behind its previous position to
             the rear.]

            [Z'leyra still dazed knows she is still speaking
             some magical words almost by instinct now.  She
             turns and tries to find a creature and gets a bit
             dizzy from her blow.  Then she sees #6 about 50
             feet away.  She raises a wavering arm and points
             at it then finishes a few slurred words.  She has
             to repeat one or two then a auro only she can see
             surrounds the creature.  She assumes the paralysis
             spell has worked but is a bit dazed to know for sure.]

            [Chion extends his staff and enacts the spell within
             it.  The spell grabs #6 but its already frozen from
             Z'leyra's paralysis spell.  #1 is too far up out
             of range and the 2 by Jordi are out of range.]

         [Melee & Movement]

            [Hippogriffs move...

              #1 - Dives straight for Farseeker and tries to
               attack him but misses its attack.  It turns
               to the right and flies back of but ends up
               only about 20 feet off ground.

              #6 - Captured by two spells #6 falls to the ground
               to the right/south east.  It tries to move but
               can't at all.

              #8 - Flies due west...

              #10 - Intrigued by the mist again turns to the
               right and re-enters the mist.  Amazingly it
               seems to detect Jordi or see him.  It flies
               straight through the mist.  Though it doesn't
               attack directly.  Its front right leg and rear
               leg hit Jordi.  One hoove hits Jordi's head but
               the metal helmet Thig gave him for his wedding
               helped there but the rear leg does 1 point of damage
               to Jordi's left shoulder.  The creature continues
               to fly behind Jordi.]
              GM: Could've been worse.  The spell did help out
                based on its EL.  From a severe hit to a regular
                hit so that's good :)

            [Kasha would love to charge at #1 but would be about
             10 feet out of range of his mace.  If only he was
             on a warhorse he could have the horse leap.  Oh well.
             Riding horses. Tsk tsk.  But he charges the frozen
             #6 now on the ground.  In a show of skill on the horse
             he leans to the left and bashes down at the creature.
             With a -55 to attack and EL even with a high roll
             like a 60 he still scores a easy deadly hit.  He
             scores 20 points.  Too bad the creature only had 3 left
             for experience :<.  The creature is killed.]

           [Thig, Xian and Trembyl watch the scene nad stay position
            to watch the remaining hippogriffs.]

           [Farseeker upset that #1 just attacked him charges
            straight for #1 with his long lance.  He then yells
            a commadn to his warhorse...a horse trained to
            leap on command unlike Kasha's horse...to leap up and
            this gets the few needed feet to reach the creature.
            The lance hits #1 and does 7 points of damage to it
            to wound it for the first time.]

           [Balrog seeing #6 fall turns and charges the 20 feet
            or so toward the approaching #8.  he intercepts it
            and with his short sword misses to hit the creature.]

           [Unali eager for action belts his sling with one hand.
            With her feet she prods the horse forward through the
            battlefield toward Balrog and #8.  With the other hand
            she grabs two daggers and readies them.  While able
            to fight with both in the short time she can only use
            one dagger due to limited time (exchanging  daggers
            placing sling on belt, etc.).  She charges the hippogriff
            and then turns the horse slightly to the left so her
            hand gets directly under the belly of the creature.  She
            then with a hard thrust plunges the dagger upward doing
            6 points of damage.  With the 12 from Balrog this finishes
            off the creature.  The hippogriff falls foward (north)
            about 2 feet and hits the ground.]

           [Z'leyra sees only #1 left nearby but its too far up for
            her to reach.]

      [Turn 17: Phase 2]

         [Mana Allocation]

           [Z'leyra allocates another paralysis spell mana to stop
            #1 from fleeing away.]

         [Missile Fire]

           [Ben'dar aims at #1 but could hit Caladan, Z'leyra or
            Farseeker so holds off.  No other creature is seen.]

           [Thig has a better aim and is higher than Farseeker
            so fires at #1 with his repeating crossbow which
            is magical and with magical ammo from Clima. The
            weapon hits and does 19 points of damage.  This kills
            the wounded creature.  It wobbles to the right and
            forward a bit before crashing to the ground.]

           [Jordi turns around again and aims at the flanking #10
            and hits for 14 points of damage but this is a hard
            blow but its still alive!]

         [Magic Effect]
           
           [Z'leyra finds #1 down and no other target.  She
            speaks the words but then realizes no thing to use
            it on. She quickly looks around and spots a large
            ant hill or termite hill and uses the spell on it.
            The entire mound seems to go dormant from the magical
            energy.]
           gM: Sorry not here so wasn't sure what you'd want to
            do with the energy :) I'll give some experience. (MDV1)
            We can blame it on the confusion from the head attack :)

         [Melee & Movement]
           
           #10 not stupid takes to the air and flies due east
             trying to flee the area before its killed.

           [Ben'dar grabs the reins with one hand and prods the
            horse toward the east.]

           [Caladan stays in place.]

           [Kasha joins Ben'dar and rides east.]

           [Balrog stays in place.]

           [Jordi turns and faces the fleeing hippogriff ready
            to fire next phase.]

      [Turn 17: Phase 3]

         [Mana Allocation]

           [Trembyl allocates mana for a spell.]

         [Missile Fire]

           [Ben'dar fires at the fleeing hippogriff over the
            mist but the arrow flies past it.]

           [Jordi fires the longbow at #10 and hits.  It only
            needed 1 to kill it so the damage is sufficient
            and the hippogriff hits the ground.]

         [Magic Effect]

           [Trembyl was going to do a teleport spell to meet
            the creature ahead and fire at it but sees it
            fall so teleports 5 feet away off theo horse
            in a show of magical skill and showman-off-ship. :)]
