    [Recap]

       From Strie'bog: [Re: Actions]
          Yep, I'm getting use to the combat.
          As for actions:
          Realizing that his standard arrows may be useless, and
          hearing that Balrog is down, Strie'bog will move in that
          direction.  Having no understanding of the fire in the sky,
          or knowledge of the healing abilities of the others in the
          party, he will move over to Balrog to heal him.

          Strie'boh calls over to Xian:  "Do you need me to ease his
          pain?" He will coax the wolf to stay with him.

          In the next phase (if you want to progress): If Strie'bog is
          needed to heal Balrog, he will.
          If not, then he will start preparing a fire arrow in an
          attempt to get beyond the creatures armor.

          Also, are there any stories of the Vassa that would help
          Strie'bog understand what occured with the fire in the sky?

          Hearing the call of someone still in the darkness, Strie'bog
          holds off shooting.

          He allocates mana to Fire Arrow.  Once the spell is cast, he
          will shoot at the flying creature.
       GM: Stories no. Ack. 

       From Ben'dar: [Re: Actions]
          Ben'Dar snorts in disgust as he realizes the darkness is
          following him!  (Or rather, following the unconscious body
          on his horse)  He shoves the body off of Tef'wo and climbs
          up onto the horse.  Wheeling around to try to change
          direction, he trots, trying to get out of the darkness.

          Ben'Dar has his spear in hand, and when he gets out of the
          darkness, he'll watch for the flying creature.  He doesn't
          know if it's still alive and fighting, but he doesn't want
          to be caught unaware again by it.
       GM: Ack. 

       From Z'leyra: [Re: Actions]
          Z'leyra says "Watch for the flier! I will do some healing.
          As I am invisible it is unlikely to hit me while I do so."
       GM: Ack. 

       From Strie'bog: [Re: Reply to Z'leyra's actions]
          Knowing that someone is going to heal Balrog, Strie'bog
          will turn his attention to powering up the Fire Arrow spell
          and then shooting the creature.
       GM: Ack. 

       From Jordi: [Re: Actions]
          Jordi quickly takes another arrow, and prepares for firing
          to the flying creature.
          In the meanwhile, while he is looking at the heavens, trying
          to locate the flying creature, he says, in a low tone:
          "Well done, Farseeker".
          Then, he curses (mentally) himself.  Speaking means lesser
          posibilities of detecting an enemy, because his voice will
          cover the noise of the aproaching enemies.
     ----------------------------------------------------------------
     [New Stuff]

     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

     [Turn 2: Phase 3]

       [Mana Allocation]

         [Xian, Thig and Strie'bog allocate some mana]

       [Missile Fire]

         [Jordi reloads and aims where the flying creature should
          be and fires.  But the arrow misses easilly.  It lands
          far to the northwest.]

       [Magic Effect]

         [Xian finishes his spell and becomes solid as he dispells
          the spell.  His knees sink to the ground and creates
          an impression in the sane.  Xian quickly examines the
          damage on balrog and lifts the tunic to get a better
          view for healing.]

       [Melee and Movement]

         [Farseeker looks around the camp for any other targets
          but finds none.  He claps the great sword onto the
          sand to get rid of the dripping organ mess of the
          serpent.]

         [Trembyl sheathes holds his scimitar and considers
          casting some magic soon to attract the flying creature.]

         [Ben'dar stops and turns.  He pulls the body off the
          horse quickly and it lands with a thump.  He quickly
          mounts and turns the horse around with a pull of its
          mane.  The horse then trots off to the south-west.
          Both emerge out of the darkness.] 

         [Unali examines the battlefield.  She sees Ben'dar
          emerge from the darkness..]

         [Thig examines Pogo the hurt dog and prepares to heal
          him with magic.]

         [Unfournately Thig doesn't see the flying creature dive
          for him and swing his club.  But thig's head just inches
          away and misses the blow.]

         [Caladan examines the rest of Balrog's body for damage.]

         [Z'leyra heads toward Xian and Balrog.]

         [The wolf seems to sense Z'leyra and raises its head to
          look in that direction.]

         [Ventrius sees the flying creature and the dog leaps
          toward the creature but misses just as it gets out
          of the way in its attack on Thig.]

         [Kasha and Chion watch the battlefield for other targets.
          Kasha notices the horses shuffle a bit and considers
          going to calm them down.]
          
         [Strie'bog yells to Xian who simply shakes his head as
          if to say he should have it in control.  Strie'bog
          loads a new arrow and prepares...]

         [The Eagle swoops down and flies just over the campfire
          in a quick flyover the camp.]

         [Xian tears a portion of Balrog's tunic and prepares
          for a healing spell.]

     [Turn 2: Phase 4]

       [Mana Allocation]

         [Xian, Thig and Strie'bog allocate some mana]

       [Missile Fire]

         [Jordi fires again at the flying creature but fails to
          hit ...the arrow lands near Ben'dar's horse about 4
          feet away..]

         [Strie'bog takes a squint and aims his bow.  He then
          fires at the flying creature which passes overhead
          almost 20 feet up.  The arrow hits!  It explodes into
          a mini fireball on impact.  Combined with force damage
          and fire damage it does 12 points-6 hide doing 6 points
          pass the armor.  The creature yells in pain and suddenly
          pluments to the ground.  The creature falls at an
          angle and lands on the ground 30 feet to the south-east
          behind Strie'bog with a loud thump.]

       [Magic Effect]

         [Xian places his hands on Balrog.  One over the burn
          wound and the other on his head.  He finishes speaking
          his magic words and a green/blue hue forms around
          the hands.  Balrog quickly heals almost half of its
          wounds completely heal (7 points).]

         [Thig finishes his spell and places hands on the hurt
          dog.  The spell completely heals the bit wound of Pogo.]

       [Melee and Movement]

         [Phasal Combat ended.]

                    --------------------------------

       [Balrog wakes up and sees Xian and Caladan over him.]

       [Two more phases and everyone surrounds the flying creautre
        that fell.  They find it still breathing so quickly stab
        it with swords or other weapons and finsih it off.]

       [Ben'dar tells of the body he threw of the horse.]

       [Farseeker quickly directs the group to surround the darkness.
        Trembyl and Unali surround the darkness zone with burning
        bits of wood and the dogs patrol the area while others
        watch it.]

       [Kasha asks Thig to help him go retrieve the 2 escaped
        horses that ran into the darkness.]

       [By the time Z'leyra reaches Balrog he is healed and up.
        He has suffered a bad burnt wound though.]

       [Two minutes pass and the darkness is still there which
        likely means the spell is longer lasting.  Examination
        of the creatures finds 2 are firehounds.  One killed by
        Ben'dar the other killed by dogs/wolf and Kasha.  The
        same creatures that took Cholan's hand out why BEn'dar
        recognized them.  The flying creature is a nergali demon.
        The two pythons are serpent Women.  It must be concluded
        the one in the darkness is another serpent women likely
        a magic casting one.  Its likely logical that the magical
        one summoned these demons as her personal army to help
        her in some goal.]

       Farseeker: "While in Maren I saw wanted posters and a warning
         message about this magical one.  She has terrorized people
         up and down the coast but mostly stayed to the river.  We
         may have helped in getting rid of this group."

    What do you wish to do with the unconscious whatever Ben'dar
    has?

          Player          Notes
        Jordi          4 Arrows
        Strie'bog      2 Arrow


     When the adrenline fades Ben'dar collapses to the ground from
     his damage.  Its determined he has two broken ribs and massive
     bruise damage.  But your leather is in tact as the damage was
     from a club.  However Balrog took a Fire Dart from the magical
     serpent women (Caladan confirms this via the wound) and his
     leather is likely gone.

     Actions?  Comments?
     Next update Monday.

     Let me know what you do to the serpent women.  Keep in mind
     its probably pretty powerful.  If you execute it that's fine.
     Monday, we'll move on to another encounter if there is such
     and move the game on.  I'll report on mana and natural healing
     information.
