     [Recap]  

        From Ben'dar: [Re: Actions]
          Ben'Dar looks up from the fire.  The dead eagle he found in the
          forest is nearly cooked to perfection over the glowing coals.
          He sighs as he hears the news that they are riding out again so
          soon.  His stomach rumbles...

          (just kidding about the eagle...lol)

          Ben'Dar will ask Z'leyra for one more magical healing if she
          thinks there is little risk to him.

          He still wants the battle horn.  It is much fancier than the old
          one he picked up...where did he pick that thing up?  Oh well, he
          tosses the old one aside and begins polishing the new one.
        GM: Ack. Your evil!  Hey! I like that!  Claim the horn.  Ack. 

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

        From Unali: [Re: Treasure]
          Unali will not claim any of the magical treasure.
        GM: Ack.

     [New Stuff]

         [Decalis 16th, 107th day since left Marentia, 42nd day of
          Adventure #3 of the 1633rd year [TH].]
          [Location: Pavassa Forest - Eastern Edge/On Plains]

         [Before BohusAra gives the Lake Oca warning and just before
          the sand is placed over the dead bodies - ]
          
         GM: Unali claims no magical items.  Ben'dar claims the Battle
             horn.  Leaving the Crossbow and Wand free for picking
             or for later party sell.

         Farseeker: "That person you caught in the Oblivion spell
            thing, we should talk to him now.  Can you bring him back?"

         [Z'leyra nods and the work room is cleared as best it can
          of the heavy logs.  The area in front of the crushed work
          table is where he'll be bought back.  Z'leyra casts a
          Purification spell on the ground.  Farseeker then has
          folks around the spot ready to grab the man.  He was
          last seen holding his Bow and not the sword so he should
          be easy to handle.

          Ben'dar and Farseeker get on each side of the spot.  Chion
          from the back just in case.  Unali and Arawn in front ready
          for action as well.  The others stand nearby ready to help
          with rope and other items.  Z'leyra nods then cancels the
          spell and the man forms back in place.  He looks at those
          around him still holding his bow.  He reaches for his sword
          but Farseeker stops his hand.  Ben'dar grabs the Bow away
          and puts its on the ground. He is clearly outnumbered so
          he doesn't resist.  His hands are bound in rope.  Thig
          quickly reports no magic exist around him or from him.  So
          the party lets him speak.]

         Man: "What...What do you want?"

         [He is escorted through the north side of the cabin where
          the wall used to be.  Now in the open he is surrounded
          and sat down on the ground.]

         Bohusara: "Why did you take me?  What was your plan?"

         Farseeker: "Who was in charge here?"

         [Arawn listens to Bohusara and understands the Vassa words
          but its clear the man doesn't understand.  In fact only
          he understood the man's words.  He translates for the
          party into the Humagi tongue and back for the party.]

         Man: "I will not tell you anything!  You will pay--"

         [The party rolls their eyes as the typical rant of you'll
          pay so free me now speech.  But suddenly his speech becomes
          slurred.  Even those not knowing Humagi understand this.
          Sweat begins to break out on his face and arms.  His eyes
          suddenly roll back in his head and he collapses.  Z'leyra
          comes over to check him and finds his heart racing and
          then slowing down.  She grabs her satchel and then checks
          him again.  The man begins to gurgle and gasp for air.
          Within about seconds his breathing stops and Z'leyra begins
          immediate treatment.  She is unsure if its a heart attack
          or a spell or something else.  Thig still reports no spell
          so it must not be that.  As Z'leyra is checking for wounds
          Farseeker notices the neck turn gray in one spot.  Z'leyra
          recognizes that as skin dying but cause could be many
          things.  Then Xian gives a jump as from the man's leg
          a small thumb sized spider runs out of his pants leg.
          Xian squashes it with his staff.  With the spiders inside
          and now here Z'leyra guesses it must be poison.  This
          also makes sense with the dead skin a neurotic type
          poison and fast acting.  She grabs her Bezoar stone and
          asks for a water skin now.  Trembyl gives her one as she
          grabs for a goblet in her pack.  She swirls the stone in
          the goblet with water and then forces the man to drink
          the solution.  But its clear his throat is closed up and
          only a small amount gets in it.  As more skin around the
          neck begins to die others check for other puncture wounds
          from the spider or spiders.  One is found on the leg and
          one found on the chest.  Each area the skin is quickly
          dying and rotting.  Z'leyra checks his eyes and notices the
          turning purple/red a sign of low oxygen to the brain.  The
          forehead is also turning a bit purple/red as veins try to
          breath and obtain air.  Z'leyra knows the man has been
          dead for now some 5-10 seconds by definition.  But a spell
          could save him but for what?  He would likely be brain
          damaged and based on where the neck wound is he might
          not be able to talk if the vocal cords were damaged and
          rotting.  Z'leyra sighs and knows it would be futile to
          bring him back.]

         Thig: "The redhead must've ordered her pals to kill him if
            he was caught.  We did find other spiders on the one
            Arawn killed and one of the other guards.  Maybe her
            friends.  Maybe they knew enough to act on their
            own and kill him before we could question him.  That
            word she spoke may have activated the heat spell and
            warned the spiders of danger.  For all he knew he might
            not have been even aware of the spiders on him."

         Trembyl: "Our track record with Interrogation isn't great.
           You ever realize this? Seems they all die."

              in a supplement.  See it wouldn't have affected the
              outcome of the update :)
