     [Recap]

        From Ben'dar: [Re: Actions]
          Ben'Dar continues to charge forward, aiming for whichever
          rider is closest (probably one of riders #1-4).  He will
          attempt to use the momentum of his charge to give him more
          strength in the initial attack (Charge attack).  He will
          initially allow Tef'wo to attack by crashing into another
          horse to knock a rider off. He doesn't want Tef'wo to tear
          up the other horses too much. (
but once a rider is on the
          ground, he's going to get Tef'wo's  hoofs in his head!)
          So one attack from Ben'Dar per phase, another  from Tef'wo
          each phase.

          And of course, Ben'Dar continues to whoop and yell as he
          charges and fights on horseback.  He also hurls a few choice
          Zen'Dan curses and taunts at the Ser'manda warriors (you know,
          something insulting about their mothers or whatever).  He is
          clearly enjoying himself.  ;-)
        GM: Enjoying oneself TOO much :)  Ack.

        From Z'leyra: [Re: Actions]
          Z'leyra casts Clairvoyance on herself [at max EL] readies her
          shield and dagger then charges into battle. <She will use her
          usual tactics of dealing with those who are distracted -
          unless she believes that this tribe is known to be honorable
          and only fights one-on-one. In that case she will face and
          fight one face to face.>
        GM: Ack. Most Zen'da but the Boya tend to be Honorable.

        Post from Jord: [Re: Actions]
          Jordi will advance at full speed against riders  10 & 11, and
          will throw his spear against one of them when the range is
          "pointblank" or "short"; then, he will use his sword to attack
          them.  He will take pains not to hit any horse, unless the
          enemy makes something dishonourable.

          I have changed my mind.  Jordi will use his spear in the initial
          charge, using it in the melee (instead of throwing it) and then
          will use his sword.
        GM: Ack.  Will take time to switch to sword so you'll likely
          have to drop the spear when ready.

    [New Stuff]

     Sepes 36, in the 163rd Year [TH]
       Location: River Sch (E) Riverbank, Zen'da Plains, 198 Miles
         North of Asichi City

     GM: Made mistake.  Forgot to have Strie'bog fire last phase.
       I just did it.  He aims for Rider 9 (Leader).  The longbow
       does hit and does 2 points of damage.  



        Turn 1: Phase 3

          [Mana Allocation]

             Trembyl stops his horse and allocates some mana for
               a magical spell.  

             Caladan allocates some mana for magic.

             Z'leyra casts mana for a magical spell..

          [Missile Fire]

             Rider fires at Ben'dar and the arrow just passes by
             Ben'dar's right side by a half inch.  If it wasn't
             for firing on horse modifier he'd hae hit Ben'dar.

             Another rider aims and fires at Farseeker.  The arrow
             flies and impacts right into Farseeker's chainmail.
             The impact is so strong it almost knocks him off the
             horse but doesn't.  The arrow penetrates the chainmail
             and makes a tiny hole doing 3 points of damage.  Farseeker
             looks down in surprise and thinks "boy these guys are
             good!".

             One riders fires at Jordi but the arrow misses a good
             2 feet to the right...

             Two riders shift their aim and aim in the sky toward
             the flying Thig.  This surprises thig.  One arrow flies
             and misses by a good foot.  But the other knicks his
             boot a half inch.  But doesn't hit skin.  Very close!

             The last rider archer fires straight at Strie'bog but
             the arrow easilly misses at this range.

             Xian, Trembyl, Strie'bog and Thig fire now...at the
             same time.

             Xian takes careful aim with his arbalest at Rider #5.
             Its long range and a good chance to hit.  But the arrow
             flies just to the side of the rider knicking the rider's
             clothing (misses by a bloody 1%!).

             Trembyl while saying his magical words aims at Rider #9
             (the leader) and fires his Arbalest.  The weapon hits
             and blood splatters as it penetrates into the chest
             and several ribs ripping tissue.  It does 11 points of
             damage to the rider.  With the previous damage done by
             Strie'bog this knocks the rider completely off the horse.
             The rider stumbles backwards and thens slumps to the ground.

             Strie'bog reloads and aims at Rider #10 besides #9 and
             hits with the arrow doing 2 points of damage to the rider.

             Thig aims at a rider who fires on him with his repeating
             crossbow and misses...

          [Magic Effect]

             Z'leyra casts her spell...

             Trembyl casts his spell...suddenly a new rider appears
             about 40 feet ahead of Trembyl.  On a sleek black horse
             and appears to be a huge barbarian charging toward the
             enemy riders.....

             Caladan...who last couple phases prepared for this
             action had leaned down to the horse to whisper to it
             and place blinders on its eyes so it doesn't scare.
             Caladan then leans straight in the saddle and finishes
             his spell.  Suddenly around Caladan in a complete circle
             a large field of lightning erupts.  Static discharges
             and lightning sparks surround him and the horses in
             a 20 food circle.  The horse shifts but Caladan calms
             him down...Caladan smiles ...

          [Melee & Movement]

             [Horses move toward each other...]

             Ben'dar   - 80 more feet.
             Kasha     - 80 more feet.
             Thig Flies- 40 feet forward
             Farseeker , 70 more feet.
             Balrog    - 70 more feet.
             Unali     - 60 more feet.
             Dogs      - 40 more feet.
             Zen'dali  - 50 more feet
             Jordi     - 60 more feet

           Riders #2, 3 and 4 are in range of Ben'dar.

           Rider #2 has a full charge on his horse and thrusts his
           Scimitar at Ben'dar and the blade slices Ben'dar's left
           arm doing 14(7)=7 points o damage. Ben'dar gives out
           a cry of pain as the blade cuts tissue...

           The other 2 riders near Ben'dar close in but miss in
           their attacks.


        Turn 1: Phase 4

          [Mana Allocation] - None

          [Missile Fire]

            Strie'bog reloads and aims but now the riders are
            closer and close to others.  There is a shot at #11
            but Strie'bog could hit jordi and others.  Strie'bog
            is good but not that good to risk it.

            Thig aims straight at point blank range down at
            Rider #1 who looks up just in time to see the impact
            right in his left eye. The damage is 14 points and
            shatters the back of the eye socket.  Teh rider
            is killed before he hits the ground...

          [Magic Effect] - None

          [Melee & Movement]

            Ben'dar finishes the charge and impacts against
            the mesh of horses.  With his free hand he thrusts
            the spear right at the rider #2 and grabs on wish
            his other hand for a full thrust with full strength.
            The spear impacts and pentrates and goes out the
            rider's back!  For a split second the spear is lifted
            up into the air and the body hangs there.  Then gravity
            takes over and the spear falls downard.  The rider
            falls to the ground gutted with over 20 points of damage.

            Tef'wo impacts against horse 3 and the force of the
            blow damages some ribs of the horse doing about 3 points
            of damage to the horse but not rider.  

            Kasha finishes his charge and swings his magical mace
            tot he right and hits the rider in the shoulder and
            does 21 points of damage.  As Kasha intended this
            knocks the rider off the horse and onto Rider #10's
            horse and confuses #10 for the time being...

            Xian rides forward...

            Trembyl shoulders his Arbalest and rides forward
            past his illusionary rider...

            Farseeker rides forward and swings his great sword
            at rider #5 and hits doing 21 points of damage which
            slices the rider up the shoulder from his side.  The
            rider falls to the ground dead...This destroys the
            rider's Banded armor which he was wearing (one of the
            few riders to wear armor).  

            Balrog rides forward and thrusts his Short Sword at
            Rider #4 and hits doing 9 points of damage this kills
            the rider as he falls to the ground.

            Unali rides forward and looks for a target...

            Rider's 6, 7 and 8 confused by the sudden victory the
            party is having and chaos of the attack AND the new
            spell in front of them charge straight ahead but
            before they realize the danger they all 3 enter the
            lightning swarm around Caladan.  Rider 6 and 8 tries
            to avoid it and skirts the edge.  Rider 6 is not affected
            but rider 7 takes a 4 point lightning strike and rider
            8 takes a heavy 7 point strike and damages both.

            Z'leyra rides forward...

            Jordi rides forward avoiding the swarm of electricity
            to his left...

            Rider #3 swings at Ben'dar but misses with his scimitar...

            Trembyl's illusionary rider moves forward...

     Actions?  Comments?
     Next update Friday..

     Wow. Gang.  Impressive.  You guys blew threw them.  They
     did get a few lucky shots in (Farseeker, Ben'dar).

     This leaves - 3, 6 (unhurt) and 7, 8 and 10 hurt.

     Jordi - You cna throw your spear next phase at 10 if you wish
     before Kasha finishes him off in Melee?  I didn't do it
     this round cause of conflicts of hitting others.  But missile
     is first before melee so you can strike before Kasha.

     Strie'bog you got some early shots in but it will be difficult
     now to hit anyone without hitting others if you want to
     take the chance.  Otherwise you can move in and get a better
     angle if they survive the next 2 phases.

     Let me know.

     Hope all map coordinates are accurate.
