     Game Update 227 in sequence (file #126)
     ----------------------------------------------------------------
      
     Admin notes:  To clarify the armor thing last update.  I meant
     all that in terms of sleeping in armor not wearing during normal
     activities of course.  
     -----------------------------------------------------------------
     [Recap]  

        From Ben'dar: [Re: Actions]
          Ben'Dar will finish off the goblins around him, starting
          with the armored one.  If he sees someone in trouble (ie
          getting mauled by the lion), he'll break off from the goblins
          and help out.  If the fight ends and any enemies are running
          away, he'll mount Tef'wo and chase them down.

          OOC:  Ben'Dar's not too worried about breaking his pike, as
          long as he's breaking his enemies in the process...    Is
          there any way to repair weapons & armor?

          OOC:  Ben'Dar will claim the gems found on the men at
          Strie'bog's home, if nobody else wants them.  He will use the
          two good gems to mount in the eye sockets of his wolf headdress.
        GM: Ack.  Yes repair can be done with supplies and time.
            Gems collected. 

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

        From Unali: [Re: Actions]
          Unali will first deal with the remaining goblin that is
          attacking her. Hopefully that takes a single phase and she
          can turn in time to stop the attack of the desert lion.

          Now she has learned forest survival at a starting level, she
          will switch to learning horsemanship again, with acrobat as
          second choice if HMS is not possible for some reason.
        GM: Ack. 

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

        From Z'leyra: [Re: Actions]
          Z'leyra sees the armored goblin fighting Ben'Dar and believes
          Ben'Dar capable of winning that fight. If she was aware of
          Chion's wound she would likely go to help him, but as she
          isn't aware of it she will try and deal with the lion.

          Not sure whether it is a regular lion or (more likely) a
          Waste Lion (Kotothi) and also unsure whether it was going
          to attack the party or the goblins she will run up behind
          it (so as not to be between the party and the lion while
          invisible) and strike to subdue using her staff.

          After it is subdued we can find out more about it. She
          would feel bad if the party killed a regular lion that was
          merely hunting goblins or a lion Tonah trying to assist the
          party. If it is a Kotothi Waste Lion..., well it can die later.

          After subduing the lion she will assist in other combat and
          try to help patch and heal folks.
        GM: Ack. 

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

        From Chion: [Re: Actions]
          Chion, failing to see any other way just as yet will say to
          Trembyl, "Well, looks like we need to use some healing magic
          here. I'll see what I can do." And cast healing on him at
          whatever el he has. After he casts the healing he will check
          his Trembyl' status again and if still being fired upon will
          cast insubstantial on himself and Trembyl.
        GM:  Ack. 

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

         [Decalis 15th, 106th day since left Marentia, 41st day of
          Adventure #3 of the 1633rd year [TH].]
          [Location: Pavassa Forest]
          [Time: Around 3:58am.]

          Turn 2: Phase 1

            [Mana Allocation]

               [Strie'bog allocates mana for healing.]
               [Chion allocates mana for a healing spell.]

            [Missile Fire]

               [Thig aims at the goblins but finds them near others
                and to dangerous to fire.  He hovers and shifts in
                place to aim his repeating crossbow at the Lion
                and fires.   The dart hits the lion in the back
                and penetrates his hide but the lion continues to
                move from the damage.]

               [Suddenly another arrow hits inches from Trembyl
                into the ground missing both Chion and Trembyl
                by a foot.]

            [Magic Effect]

               [Chion casts the healing magic onto Trembyl.  He
                speaks the words while laying hand on his chest
                releasing the healing magic into Trembyl.  The
                green energy surrounds the arrowhead and heals
                the wound to half.  Healing 9 points.  But the
                arrow is still in Trembyl's chest and the healing
                tightens around the arrowhead.]
               GM: If knew Healer would've known to remove the arrow
                   from chest first.   But there is no time for it
                   in this battle situation. 

               [Strie'bog while watching the lion places a hand on
                Boyzdar and speaks the healing words.  As he completes
                the words suddenly he tenses and his eyes roll back
                into his head and he collapses to the ground.]

            [Melee & Movement]

               [Corona flying overhead sees movement in the bushes and
                tries to determine what it is but the darkness eludes
                any visual determination at this point.]

               [Z'leyra runs the 10 feet toward the Lion and gets
                behind him.  She swings her staff down onto his back
                but the staff misses by a few inches.]

               [Thig sees Strie'bog suddenly fall.]
               Thig: "Strie'bog's down!"

               [Farseeker turns hearing Thig and rushes from the area
                of the horses to Strie'bog.  He kneels and checks
                Strie'bog and finds a pulse.]
               Farseeker: "He's alive!"

               [Suddenly from various sides of the camp from bushes
                low to the ground dozens and dozens of frogs and
                toads leap and squish out and head straight for
                the camp and party.]

               [From bushes at G24 9 frogs and toads jump out and
                start leaping and jumping straight for Chion and
                Trembyl. All 9 seem to jump onto or land near
                Trembyl.  Chion on his knees is able to fend them
                off with his staff but Trembyl isn't.  Eight of
                the frogs and toads do nothing as they hop around
                him.  But one hits the arrow in his chest and shifts
                it further ripping the wound even further doing 6
                more points.  Trembyl gives a yelp of pain and
                surprise.]

               [From the bushes at I32 8 frogs and toads leap out
                and head south west toward the tents and get
                between the area between 2 tents.]
               GM: See Map info

               [From the bushes around the horses 7 frogs and
                large toads jump about scaring the horses.]

               [From the bushes at S30 9 more frogs and toads
                leap out and jump north west toward Strie'bog
                and the wolf.]

               [From the bushes at T35 9 more frogs head north
                straight for the center of the camp.]

               [From bushes T12 6 more frogs head north East
                toward the camp.]

               [From the tree in the west 5 frogs and toads
                leap east toward the camp.]

               [From the bushes at H24 6 frogs and toads leap
                out and head SE toward the camp.]

               GM: Too many small objects for map so giving
                   general location on map below.

               [Unali swings both daggers on goblin #7 (g) the
                magical dagger does not hit but her regular does.
                But the blow to the chest is light doing only 5
                points of damage.  The goblin still stands.]

               [Ben'dar swings his pike on the armored goblin and
                hits in the arm doing 3 points of damage past his
                armor but the goblin remains up.]

               [The armored goblin fights back thrusting his spear
                at Ben'dar but fails to hit.]

               [Trembyl grimaces in pain as he looks around at the
                flying horde of squishy frogs and toads in confusion.]

               [Chion uses his staff to move the frogs away from both
                of them and sees other frogs to the right of them.]

               [The horses begin to use their feet to stomp the frogs
                as best they can.]

               [Royzdar sees Strie'bog fall to the ground and limps to
                him sniffing and making a pouting noise.  He nudges
                Strie'bog with his nose and seeing no response looks
                worried.  Injured himself he places his head onto the
                chest of Strie'bog in confusion.]

               [Arawn looks out the tent.  His magic against the lion
                is too far and out of reach now.  He grabs his sword
                and buckler and heads out the tent toward Trembyl.
                Using both sword and buckler he pushes the frogs and
                toads away from between the tents.  When he gets to
                Trembyl he kneels and checks him out.]

               [The lion heads straight for Unali and leaps at her.
                The lion bites down on her left shoulder doing 3
                points past her chainmail with his teeth.  The
                lion's claws scratch Unali's right arm doing another
                2 points past chainmail.  The magical dagger gave
                her a hint of warning but not enough time to react.
                Unali is knocked down to the ground by the heavy
                beast.]

               [Goblin #7 (g) grunts in glee and raises his spear
                straight at Unali and with a forceful down strike
                impales Unali in her right shoulder doing 6 points
                to her shoulder.]

               [Goblin #9 (I) thrusts at Ben'dar but fails to hit.]

               [Unali sees the Lion attack Unali and charges with
                his war staff.  He tries to hit the lion but it
                moves just in time and he misses.]

          Turn 2: Phase 2

            [Mana Allocation] - None

            [Missile Fire]

              [Thig aims but has no good target without possible
               hitting others.  He could fire on many of the
               frogs/toads but they are too fast moving targets.]

              [Suddenly another arrow from what seems like a different
               location comes and hits Trembyl in the chest.  This
               arrow impacts just below his heart in the ribs to
               the right of the first arrow and does 5 points of
               more damage to him.]

            [Magic Effect] - None

            [Melee & Movement]

              [Corona flies and dives straight for the western
               camp edge frogs and zaps one to death with his
               magical eyes.]

              [Z'leyra moves straight for the Lion.  She bumps
               up against Xian and almost trips.  She saw
               Strie'bog on the ground but not being mauled by the
               lion so headed for the lion.  She swings with her
               staff and misses again!]

              [Farseeker leaps over Strie'bog and moves past the
               campfire toward the lion.  He swings down his
               great sword and hits doing 8 points of damage to
               it but its still standing.]

              [The dozens of frogs and toads all move toward the
               camp.  Jumping all about they hit people but
               since they are squishy do no damage.  They seem
               to distract and confuse the party as the swarm
               moves about Ben'dar, Farseeker, Xian, z'leyra, Unali
               and Strie'bog.]

              [Unali uses one dagger to defend herself against the
               large paws of the lion and uses the magical dagger
               to stab the lion in the side and hits doing the
               final blow to kill the lion.  But unfournately the
               beast falls right on her and pins her down.]

              [Ben'dar swings his pike at the Elite goblin and
               hits doing 6 points of damage killing the goblin.
               He sees the lion fall dead so didn't go help Unali.]

              [Trembyl grimaces some more and wonders why him?]

              [Chion tells Arawn he has already healed Trembyl.]

              [Arawn nods and lifts the edge of the tent at L24
               up and slides in.  Turning he pulls Trembyl inside
               into safety from view outside.]

              [Goblin #9 (i) clubs Ben'dar but fails to hit him at all.]

              [Goblin #7 (g) tries to stab Unali again with his spear
               but misses when the spear hits between her body and arm.]

              [Xian turns to #7 goblin (g) and swings his war staff.
               He hits him in the shoulder doing 6 points of damage
               killing the goblin.]

          Actions? Comments?

          Next update Friday....

          GM: There are over 60 frogs and toads now in camp jumping
            and thrashing about.  Too many of them to note their
            distinct positions.  None harmed anyone on the second
            phase.  They could get a lucky hit and hit the head and
            cause some damage unless a helm is worn.  Maybe a neck
            hit to do some minor damage.  So I won't list every position
            of them.  They seem to be just confusing the party as to
            why they are there.  They are 2 hexes around the campfire
            in all directions.  They are also hitting tents can may
            cause them to fall soon.

          GM: There is only 1 Goblin alive.  The lion and all other
           goblins are dead.  But the frogs and toads are here now
           to deal with.  A new surprise :)
