     [Recap]  

        From Ben'dar: [Re: Actions]
          Ben'Dar lounges in the nice soft sand.  He wonders if Tef'wo
          is still ok and if so, hopes that the horse will come over and
          kick that pesky little goblin in the head...

          OOC:  Did Ben'Dar see which direction the arrow came from that
          phase?
        GM: Ack. I answered the arrow thing in email.  

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

        From Z'leyra: [Re: Actions]
          While Z'leyra wants to get the Sleep Mist spell cast she
          realizes that this other mist is going to be a major problem.
          She will cast thru her staff a Dispell Chaos ELmax attempting
          to dispell the paralysis mist. If successful she will then recast
          thru her staff another Sleep Mist EL0.
        GM: Ack. 

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

        From Arawn: [Re: Actions]
          Arawn turns to Trembyl and says that someone needs to deal
          with the mage behind all this. He'll ask if Trembyl can take
          care of things on his end.
        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 4

            [Mana Allocation]

               [Arawn, Chion and Z'leyra gather mana for spells.]

            [Missile Fire] - None

            [Magic Effect]

               [Arawn speaks a few words of sidh and disappears
                inside the tent.]

               [Chion casts his insubstantial spell on himself
                and loses mass.]
              GM: Since no posted actions going on last posted
                  actions even though casting on Trembyl would
                  be ineffective.  Was waiting for actions before
                  I did it but since none went with old actions.
                  Best I could do under the circumstances.

              [Trembyl and Xian are seized by the magic of the mist.]

            [Melee & Movement]

              [Corona lands on a limb high above camp and takes in
               the camp.  From his view he only sees a smog of
               the campfire as it mixes with the gray mist.  The mist
               seems to block any view from his height.]

              [As Z'leyra speaks her magic words she finds the claw
               still tucked in her things and puts it back assured
               it is still there.]

              [Thig flies high above the mist to get away from its
               affect.  He hovers with crossbow in hand but has no
               good target.  He can't seem much into mist below so
               he begins to scan the bushes and trees.]

              [Farseker looks up into the gray mist after Xian
               moves him.  He tries to flex his arms and legs but
               can not do so.]

              [The Frogs continue to dance, hop and dance around
               like insane people....]

              [Six frogs jump in various places onto the sides of the
               tent Trembyl and Arawn are in but none hit Arawn and
               Trembyl in their slam dancing.]

              [Four frogs jump up and over Ben'dar.  One lands on
               his back where the wound from last phase was just
               suffered but the squish of impact does no additional
               points of damage.  One frog lands an inch from
               Ben'dar's head and croaks  Ben'dar groans mentally.]
              GM: The pike saved you a bit here with its magical
                  protection. Otherwise the severe hit would've
                  been a deadly hit. :)

              [Three frogs dance around Chion with 2 going through
               him as he has no mass now.]

              [One toad jumps over Farseeker.]

              [Three frogs are near Strie'bog.  One jumps too far
               over.  Two frogs land onto Strie'bog's left and
               right shoulder as he lays on the ground.  No damage
               is done but both croak at each other.]

              [One frog waddles past Unali but too far away.]

              [Five frogs jump up and around Xian still invisible
               but only one hits him in the left back shoulder but
               does no damage.]

              [Four frogs hit the tent Z'leyra is in but do nothing
               aside bounce off the walls and shake the tent almost
               to falling.  Two frogs however jump hard enough
               they hit her in the chest and back but do no damage
               beyond surprise.]

              [With Farseeker removed Unali attempts again to lift
               the Lion off her.  She uses her legs and pushes it
               up and off her then on her rear slides to the north
               east on her back.]

              [Ben'dar wonders about Tef'wo.  Concerned more for
               the horse than his own life.  He then thinks of
               these annoying frogs.  Then he notices a beetle
               coming toward his face.  Gee, what else could go
               wrong tonight?]

              [Trembyl looks up at the fading Arawn now gone from
               his sight.  Arawn told him to stay put.  "Sure I'm
               not going anywhere" he thinks to himself.  He
               continues to feel at his wounds and thinks he can
               pull the second arrow out without any further
               damage...but as he tries to move his hands he finds
               he can not.]

              [Chion looks around the mist for any enemy but
               finds no one in his immediate few feet of vision.]
              GM: No action plan so unsure of actions?

              [Suddenly as Unali gets out from under the lion
               something dark through the gray mist comes toward
               her and slices her lower abdomen where the appendix
               would be and slices the body doing a massive 10
               points of damage past her armor.]

              [Xian suddenly finds himself on the ground and doesn't
               recall how he got there.  Oh yeah the mist maybe
               it had something to do with it.  "At least I'm
               invisible" he thinks then he fears "oh great someone
               can step on me and kill me and I never could scream.
               Just my luck.", He thinks again.]


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

          Turn 3: Phase 1

            [Mana Allocation]

               [Arawn builds more mana and Z'leyra continues to
                add mana for her spell.]

            [Missile Fire] - None

            [Magic Effect]

               [Arawn speaks the words to cast a speed spell.]

               [Arawn succumbs to the gray mist and seizes up.
                Invisible he falls to the floor of the tent.
                Lucky for Trembyl he doesn't fall on top of him.]

               [Z'leyra raises her staff a inch off the ground
                and speaks the dispell spell.  The words are
                heard through the camp as she speaks them.
                Suddenly the mist disappears.  Z'leyra grins...]

            [Melee & Movement]

               [Corona is the first to see it and takes to the sky
                but is too high to react this phase...but it dives
                straight down.]

               [Z'Leyra remains in the tent to stop the frogs next phase.]

               [Thig high in the air is the second to see the stranger
                inside the camp.  He yells "Unali! watch out!"]

               [Farseeker sees the mist disappears.  He then realizes
                someone stopped the spell but not its effects on
                each person.  From the corner of his eye he can see
                the back of a man near where Unali should be.]

               [The frogs react again.  Now the mist is gone they
                have better views for their random insane motions..]

               [Arawn sees the tent walls hit by more frogs....]

               [Ben'dar sees a half dozen frogs or hears them
                around him bounce about.]

               [Two frogs pass through again Chion.]

               [Four frogs jump near Farseeker.]

               [Five frogs jump near and around Strie'bog.]

               [Two frogs hit Trembyl's still body but do no
                more damage to him in the tent attack.]

               [Four frogs jump nearby Unali but come no closer
                than a half foot.]

               [Two toads jump near Xian but not close enough to
                hit him.]

               [Five frogs hit the tent Z'leyra is in but does
                not hit Z'leyra at all.]

               [Unali sees the mist disappear and suddenly sees
                a man standing over her holding a battle axe.
                A look of surprise comes over the man's face.
                She sees he stands about 5 feet 8 and weighs
                about 180 pounds or so.  Even wearing heavy
                chainmail she rolls over and does a quick push
                up from the ground.  With her left foot she
                kicks the man backwards and he stumbles back
                onto the lion.  She then grabs her dagger lying
                a foot away and prepares to stand.]

               [Ben'dar hears a grunt and figures the Goblin
                must be grunting over him again.  But that
                beetle seems to be now on his face inspecting
                his nose.  Man that itches!]

               [Trembyl hears Arawn or what he thinks to be
                Arawn fall onto the tent floor and figures the
                two of them will be comfy at least.]

               [Chion hears Thig yell high above and turns to
                see into the camp.  He sees the man lying on
                the lion but recalls he has no form.]

               [Arawn hears the struggle outside but finds himself
                paralyzed by the mist that is now gone.]

               [The man thrown back onto the Lion immediately
                gets to his feet and charges Unali.  Slightly
                dazed he swings his battle axe at her back
                wildly but fails to hit as the blade swings past
                her back by 2 inches.]

               [Xian sees the struggle out the corner of his
                eye but can't move at this time.]
