     [Recap]

        From Ben'dar: [Re: Actions]
          Oops, Arawn's warning probably would have caused Ben'Dar to hold
          off attacking for another phase or two.  But I didn't say
          anything, after getting Arawn's warning, so my fault...

          Ben'Dar laughs fiercely at the armored man when his strike is
          blocked by Ben'Dar's armor.  Ben'Dar presses his attack literally,
          trying to impale the man and shove him back into the roaring wall
          of fire behind him.

          Once the armored man is dead (either skewered or toasted to a
          crisp inside his armor, or both), Ben'Dar will use his magic
          pike's long reach to skewer A'kril through his fiery protection.
          Ben'Dar remembers all too well the last time he fought a
          magic-user and failed to take her out quickly...
        GM: Ack. 

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

        From Fremea: [Re: Actions]
          Fremea will make sure that the guard in front of her is no longer
          able to do anything. She will also do what she can to push him
          back into the door, hopefully hindering anyone or thing coming
          out from it. All the while, mumbling fearry shidh, "So tired of
          this damn place, everyone thinks they know better ... ... .."
          (just grumbling)
        GM: Ack. 

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

        From Z'leyra: [Re: Actions]
          Annoyed that her invisibility got dispelled and amazed that a
          Darkling Light spell managed to get through her magical defenses
          Z'leyra musters her will against the pain and casts Orient Self
          at the max EL she can cast in one phase followed by casting an
          EL4 Dispel/Banish vs Chaos through her staff at the Darkling
          Light spell. If that doesn't work she recasts the dispel at the
          highest EL she is capable of. That it got thru her immunity only
          weakened to effective EL4 might signal that it is too high an EL
          for her to do anything but die.

          Too low on mana she plans to physically attack A'kril after that.
        GM: Ack. 

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

        From Raban: [Re: Actions]
          <Finally got my internet problem fixed!> <Actions look good to me
          so far, and Raban has magical courage so wont worry much about
          facing such odds. Anyway he is upset and has a way to release
          some of it. Unless they are quite skilled or lucky, Raban should
          have little trouble with them, though having people at your back
          is dangerous! Lethal force is warranted in this situation, and
          the guards would not know anything important anyway.>

          [Raban is quite upset and glad to have an outlet. He knew there
          would be a fight eventually, but Arawn wished to try to talk, so
          he had to work with that. The Time of Words is over and the Time
          of Fists is NOW. Maybe some will live to regret and learn from
          this...

          <Raban is likely a bit too busy to notice Frema moved from the
          sheltered Spot he put her, nor that Z'leyra wishes past him. His
          subconscious reaction would be to keep her from the guards... Poor
          guards, if Raban hits them squarely his fist could go all the way
          through them!>
        GM: Ack. 

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

        From Arawn: [Re: Actions]
          - It's all good. Though Arawn would've liked to have had a chance
          to talk things out he'll just have to deal with the cards that
          have been dealt:-)

          Scott- I'm good with the choice you made. Actually makes things
          easier for me as I would've had Arawn refrain from fighting if he
          saw that it was a party member that initiated the fight. Arawn
          would not have attacked A'kril or any of his men and reacted a
          bit differently instead of charging the mage but my reply didn't
          exactly cover the group initiating things:-)

          Arawn's face remained impassive as the others seemingly complied
          with the request, though inside he was glad that they were
          allowing an opportunity for diplomacy over battle. It seemed that
          A'kril might actually be open to negotiations but before that
          could happen all chaos broke loose. Upon hearing Ben'dar's call
          to battle Arawn looked over his shoulder, a shocked expression
          on his face. 

          "What?... Ben'Dar, stop!" (would've been in 1st phase ideally) But
          it was already too late. Blood flowed and around him both sides
          sprung into action. Arawn rose from the couch and pressed himself
          against low against a wall in an effort to stay out of direct
          combat, difficult though it was in the crowded chamber. Deciding
          that enough was enough he took a gamble and tore the wrap from
          his head in hopes that A'kril would recognize and react
          positively (as well as can be given the situation) to an Alfar
          and  then called out to him in Sidh.

          "Help me stop this madness! I don't know why he attacked! Pull
          your men back and I'll try to calm my companions!" (Arawn will
          rush saying this so as to get it out as fast as possible)

          - If A'kril seems willing to try this then Arawn will call to the
          others to stop and pull back, letting them know A'kril will do so
          as well. Arawn doesn't expect them to likely respond but would
          give it a try anyways.

          - If A'kril doesn't respond then Arawn will try to pacify the
          situation, attempting to stabilize any of the fallen on either
          side while keeping an eye to his defense.

          - If A'kril doesn't agree then Arawn will engage the guards in
          combat, using Martial Arts and attempt to do subdual damage if
          possible without severely affecting his fighting ability. If an
          opening exists to reach A'kril Arawn will attempt to do the same
          to him instead.

          He'll use his buckler for protection if need be but will use his
          Martial Arts offensively. He'll dodge the flames if it nears him.

          If possible Arawn will cast Energy Shield on himself at max EL.
        GM: Ack. Glad I could talk to you in ICQ to clarify things the
            other night.  It helps to get motivated in doing these things.
            Used to do it with Z'leyra but he hasn't been in ICQ for a
            month or so now.  So motivation is down :<

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

        From Z'leyra: [Re: Actions]
          Just a note to folks...it has been fun playing with you. According
          to the rules Z'leyra cannot cast  magic while being hurt each
          turn. She will die if an EL4 or higher dispel isn't cast on the
          Darkling Light that is eating her. I doubt that any in the party
          besides Z'leyra are that skilled at dispels. I hope I am wrong.
        GM: Ack. :<

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

        From John Hooten: [Re: Spells]
          Can you cast Dispel at El4 in a single phase?
          Damage only cancels the spell if it occurs before the mana
          gathering is complete

          4.511) If the magic-user is damaged while casting a spell, i.e.
          before all mana has been allocated to it, the spell will not take
          effect and any mana cast is lost. He must start over to cast the
          spell.

          So if you can single phase cast it may be complete before the
          next damage occurs, in magic resolution

          Is the caster here? If so his death cancels the spell. If an
          item then it would need to be broken.

          Regeneration spell can extend time at cost of mana then life
          force, not a good solution but workable

          Also it allows other means of giving mana or life to aid you
          Or the easiest solution, wear a tourmaline and be immune!!!!

         [**Ale'x repeated email deleted***]
        GM: Ack.  the rule has been dickered and debated over for 20 years
            here.  Many heated arguments with Varange for example.  :) I
            can myself interpret it to be 3-4 different things.  But for 
            sake of keeping the conversation of the argument down won't go
            into it here.  Maybe a good discussion for the pnp main list.?  

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

        From Alex K: [Re: Dispelling]
          If she cannot get a spell off in one phase she yells "Need a
          dispel EL4 here!" while dropping her staff, grabbing her sword
          and going offensively to cut down the enemy leader. If still alive
          after the leader goes down she chops at the spot the Darkling
          Light came from, hoping to break the item that cast the spell.

          "Don't have to have a higher level dispell spell. You can still
          dispell, but it adds its el as part of its "MDV" to resist your
          dispell."

          Generally true, but at least in the 1st Ed. Darkling Light
          specifically says "The only way to counter the effect is with a
          Dispell/Banish spell of the same EL or higher."
        GM: Ack.  Of course EL might be techno-babble for most to understand.
            Sounds spanish. :) "EL4" :)

     [New Stuff]

        [Ma 2nd, 1633TH. 5th Day of Adventure #4.
        [Location: Chaos domain, Dark Lands, 9 Miles up, Flying Island]

        [Time: 10:19am]

        [Turn 1: Phase 3]

           [Mana Allocation - ]

              [Z'leyra, Kiet and Caladan allocate mana for magical spells.]

           [Missile Fire    - None]

           [Magic Effect    - ]

              [The magical ward Darkling Light continues to encircle Z'leyra
               and she takes another 5 points of damage from more welts and
               sores.]

              [Z'leyra casts a shamanic orientation spell while tapping
               her drum ever so softly.]

              [Caladan quickly casts his spell and mist forms about 5 feet
               behind him and in front into the hallway.  Guard #3 (9 on
               map) falls to the ground asleep from the mist.  But the other
               man remains standing.]

              [Kiet casts another abandon spell in Lemasan on the guard
               attacking him (#7 - G on map) and a look of confusion drifts
               upon his face.]

           [Melee & Movement - ]

              [Raban punches the man in front of him (E guard #6) who he
               hit previously for subdual damage and does more in the upper
               left chest.  Amazingly after two punches the man remains
               standing.]

              [Unali finds herself in a different daring spot than she
               intended.  She hadn't seen the two guards on the side of the
               wall.  But she realizes it was a good tactic to hide and she
               grits her teeth she didn't detect that from the start.  She
               finds herself in a very dark hallway only about 6 feet wide
               and maybe 15 feet long.  She finds herself closer to the
               north door than the south door.  It is carpeted making
               footfalls muffled.  Only dimly lit candles on the west wall
                make it visible slightly but most of the hallway is abound
                in shadows.  Below Unali is the guard she just killed with
                head at her feet and legs toward the other two guards in
                near the door.  She figures the secret door was likely more
                an escape route for folks in the main room rather than an
                ambush point.  She wonders why she didn't get a warning from
                her necklace.  Maybe A'kril is not fully Chaotic or the
                thing about alignment mix Arawn mentioned when he examined
                the statue is to blame?  For the first half second she
                decides on her action.  Aren had mentioned she could get
                use of something called naptha powder that flashes and
                distracts.  But it often doesn't work as well.  She could
                somersault past the guards but they would know about it and
                there is little room in the ceiling for jumping over.  With
                her left hand she reaches down to her sling bag and pulls a
                projectile for her sling out.  She places her right foot on
                the dead man's legs and then puts her plan into motion.  She
                knows her clothing helps hide herself in the darkness and
                the guards will have to do slow searches, even though it
                won't take long 1-4 seconds to search the hallway.  She
                tosses the projectile to the left toward the north-east
                corner of the door and then pushes with her foot to move
                the man's legs toward the guard on the right.  >the guard
                on the left looks toward the door and the right one looks
                down as feet touch his.  she uses this chance to leap over
                the dead man and quietly as she can move south into the
                darkness.  She knows it won't take long for smart guards
                to find her even in the darkness.  But she continues to
                move south.  She notices a small table about 3 feet high
                and ducks behind it.  The table is too small likely for
                just a candle tray and won't hide her for long. She looks
                to the nearest light and its about 4 feet away.]

              [The Bowman who Raban knocked down and then took up his battle
               axe swings again at Raban but with good luck for Raban fails
               to strike.]

              [Ben'dar laughs at the armored man who couldn't penetrate his
               tough armor.  He sees the mist form just behind the man and
               wonders if he should press his man toward the mist or the
               fire.  Figuring the fire the best option he swings his pike
               and it slices deep into the lower left chest just under the
               ribs ripping through the chainmail and doing massive damage.
               The man's eyes widen just a second and he falls to the ground
               dead.  Ben'dar grunts knowing that it did take 4 good blows
               to take the man down.]

              [Swordsman (#6) near couch and Arawn doesn't move but just
               looks around as if he has never seen furniture.  His eyes
               seem to glaze over as he turns and stares at the fire wall
               around A'kril as if hypnotized by the light.]

              [Arawn decides the fight has gone on long enough.  He still
               believes deep down in the art of diplomacy.  Something here
               just isn't right to him.  Then he cringes when he sees
               Ben'dar take down the armored man.  That won't do good
               at all for talks if that was A'kril's aide or bodyguard.
               Arawn stands and placing his sword to his side he places
               it on top of the downed couch.  So that the sword rests
               on the front of the couch which is now facing the ceiling.
               The backrest of the couch is on the ground and legs of the
               couch are pointing toward the fireplace.  the thin strip
               where legs met couch from knee to floor is the "top" now.
               He does this and glances right toward the covered swordsman
               who seems dazed.  He realizes now why the men were hard
               to see their face is covered by a leather helmet visor of
               some sort.  He glances back to A'kril and decides to risk
               it all.  He places his free hand on his face and brings down
               his face wrap revealing his full Elven features to the
               master of this castle.  He then speaks quickly in Sidh.]

              Arawn: "Help me stop this madness! I don't know why he
                attacked! Pull your men back--"

              [With his other hand free of the sword he raises it toward
               Ben'dar to try to get his attention but his back is to the
               Elf. Arawn knows that if the firewall has some magic to
               create fireballs or something he is likely a standing
               target.]

              [All the guards but the first four seen react at this point.
               Guard 1 and 2 in the hallway react to the new situation.
               Guard 1 glances over his left shoulder and hears Arawn
               speaking and then sees the armored man on the ground.  But
               he turns back right toward the sound and walks quietly that
               way to ensure Unali didn't escape out the door.  Guard 2
               Guard 2 heads south down the dark hallway scanning the area
               with his sword left and right.  Unali holds her breath as
               the man passes 4 feet past her and continues down the hall.
               The sword the man swings back and forth comes within 2
               inches of her body.  The man doesn't seem to notice her in
               the dark black clothing she finds useful.  Then the other
               guard says something and he turns right back facing Unali
               and listens to the man for a second. He then turns back
               left and straight down the hallway toward the door.  He
               opens it and looks out into the hallway.  
               
               Guard 3 (A) takes up the position in the doorway where
               the other guard was attacking Caladan.  He thrusts his
               sword at Caladan but fails to land a strike.

               Guard 5 and 6 attack Raban (D and E).  Guard 5 thrusts toward
               the rear of the tall man  and the sword makes contact on the
               right middle back doing 4 points of tissue damage.   Guard
               6 in front of Raban swings but fails to hit him.

              Guard 7 with a confused look turns from Kiet and decides
              that way looks good.  Without looking down he stumbles north
              and almost walks over Fremea.  the guard pushes her to the
              right a foot and continues walking.  He ends a few feet
              away to the side of Z'leyra and seems to sniff the air as
              if looking for something.

              Guard 8 takes the distraction caused to Fremea and swings
              and lower chops Fremea's left shoulder slicing deep past
              her Elven leather, which does take a good chunk of the
              blade in resistance.  But her left shoulder takes 4 points
              of damage and she winces in pain.

              Suddenly as all the above guards move the door the party
              came in bursts open and in comes four more guards. They
              take flanking positions besides the door 2 on each side
              and look around the room.]

             [Z'leyra grimaces in pain and looks to the side to see the
              confused man.  She growls as blisters swell and she wonders
              why he is sniffing her hair?  Insane people.  She draws her
              great sword just in case she can stop the spell to go kill a
              wizard.  She elbows the insane man off her and away but only
              about a foot from her.]

             [Caladan swings his hard war staff against Guard #4 (A) and
              hits him in the upper left chest cracking bones and doing
              massive damage.  The man staggers back in pain but Caladan
              is amazed to see him still standing.]

             [Kiet grabs another rope strand from his supply and creeps up
              behind Guard #8 (J) who is fighting Fremea and places the
              rope onto his neck over his shoulders but not as a noose since
              the man has a good 10 inches on Kiet in height.]

             [Through the door stomps a towering figure the party has
              seen before.  The Metal Man enters the room and stops just
              behind Arawn about 4 feet behind him.]

             [Inside the firewall A'kril looks fully at Arawn and then
              from inside the fire wall a few words are spoken but not
              in the Sidh tongue.]

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

        [Turn 1: Phase 4]

           [Mana Allocation - ]

              [Z'leyra and Kiet allocate energy for spells.]

           [Missile Fire    - None]

           [Magic Effect    -

              [The Darkling Light continues to swirl over Z'leyra and
               she takes another 5 points of damage.]

              [Z'leyra speaks her words to dispel the Darkling Light spell.
               She has no clue where it is coming from so casts it in
               a general direction hoping the spell finds its target.  If
               not she may be dead in less than 10 seconds.  She hopes the
               spell works.]

              [Kiet quickly casts his Entangle spell upon the rope he
               just laid on the guard.  Using his fingers in a form of
               a circle the rope tightens and wraps around the man's
               neck and Kiet closes his fingers even tighter shrinking
               the radius of the circle.]

           [Melee & Movement -]

              [Raban becomes tired of playing around, especially now that
               one guard has just hurt him.  He growls and goes for
               another dual attack since the other guard behind him is
               very close.  He punches the man in front of him and is
               lucky to land a head hit. The man has already taken a good
               18 points of subdual damage from other 2 hits but now in
               one blow takes a massive 18 points to the head.  Bone, Jaw,
               Teeth and nose all break at once.  The head becomes one
               squishy mess as blood splatters onto Raban's hand.  The man
               falls back dead before he leaves Raban's fist.  With his
               right leg Raban kicks back donkey style and hits the man
               in the left leg.  The knee cap shatters under the force of
               the blow and the leg is broken.  The man takes a massive
               17 points of damage from the deadly kick.    The man falls
               back dead and tumbles near the wall.]

              [Unali leaps up.  She knows the other guard will come down the
               hallway soon so its better to handle one guard then the other.
               She has confidence she can handle both but in this strange
               magical place it is best to deal with one task at a time.
               She leaps and runs toward the man in the doorway and stabs
               him in the center right back.  The magical dagger penetrates
               deep enough to kill him without a word from his mouth.  He
               slides off the dagger with a muffled thump.  She slips
               behind the door into the shadows.]

              [Swordsman #2 (6 on map) near Arawn and the couch decides
               to wander back toward the east wall.  He walks past the
               chair and ends up near the water cabinet as if wanting to
               walk through the wall.]

              [Ben'dar glances right toward Arawn and sees the raises hand
               but doesn't know what he is saying.  He looks up though to
               see four more guards and the metal man standing in the south
               end of the room.  He decides maybe killing A'kril will end
               this all.  He charges toward the hot fire wall and uses his
               long pike to swing wildly into it not knowing the exact
               position of A'kril.  But the polearm swings wild and doesn't
               hit anything but flame.]

              [The man with the battle axe sees his two comrades fall to
               Raban's fierce attack.  He twirls his battle axe and swings
               it at Raban.  The blade strikes him in the upper right arm
               just above the guantlets.  The blade shreds muscle tissue
               doing 5 points of damage.  Raban winces in pain at the light
               wound but knows his arm might be hard to use for a while.]

              [Arawn frowns at Ben'dar and glances over his shoulder behind
               him to the new threat.  Where is Chion?  Could they have
               killed him without help from the party? Arawn's anger builds
               for a split second then he turns back to A'kril's location
               and continues his speech.]

              Arawn: "--and I'll try to calm my companions!"

              [Guard #8 turns from the north door and sneers.  He sees the
               south door open and the other guard Unali just killed fall
               to the ground.  But doesn't see Unali as she must've killed
               him while his back was turned.  He begins slowly moving the
               20 feet or so south.  He carefully swings his sword back and
               forth and looking in the dark patches of the hallway.  He
               pauses at the door and crouches down to inspect the dead
               guard finding a stab wound.  He stands and steps over the
               body and look out into the foyer south hallway area for
               the enemy.]

              [At the same time Guard 4 (A on map) thrusts at Caladan again
               but the blade slices past Caladan's body and misses 
               entirely.]

              [Guard 2 (Swordsman 2 - 6 on map) and Guard 7 (G on map)
               continue to stare with confused looks.  They do not move but
               one seems to find the helmet Z'leyra wears fascinating.  The
               other seems to like the paint job behind the drink cabinet.]

              [The four guards behind the metal man near the south door
               stand their ground.  They look around for A'kril but do not
               see him behind the fire wall.  They seem to be figuring
               out what to do next.]

              [Z'leyra drops her staff just below the confused guard.
               Groaning slightly from the burn welts she draws her great
               sword and turns.  She chargest toward the fire wall and the
               last known position of A'kril.  Swinging at chest level she
               swings her sword but fails to impact anyone.]

              [Caladan swings back toward Guard 4 (A on map) and hits with
               deadly force with his magical war staff.  The staff impacts
               hard on the left shoulder doing enough damage to break the
               shoulder blades, impacting ribs and lungs doing massive
               damage of 24 points killing the guard.]

              [Kiet sees the rope tighten harder as he concentrates to
               keep the rope tight.  He hates what he has to do next but
               it is him or the guard and self preservation is too high
               a instinct.  Already Guard 8 (J on map) is showing blue from
               lack of air from his neck noose.  He has already dropped his
               sword and grabbing at the rope.  Kiet 3walks the couple feet
               toward the man and gives some mercy to the choking man. He
               raises his dagger and stabs him in the soft part of the neck
               and wind pipe.  The execution quickly ends the already dying
               life of the guard.  Lucky for Fremea the blood sprays just
               to the right of her.]

              [Fremea sees her guard fall and looks over her shoulder at
               the two dazed guards.  They aren't a big threat now. As
               the guard falls she pushes the body into the door he came
               out of, making a virtual man barrier.  As she does this
               she grunts in Faerry Sidh.]

              Fremea: "So tired of this damn place, everyone thinks they
                know better ... ... .."

              [Fremea glances at the metal man and knows that if he went
               after Fremea she would likely be dead.  She decides that
               maybe it might be best to hide.  She leaps over the body
               into the darkened room and puts her back to the wall.  She
               begins to scan the room.  She wonders if this area will lead
               to a place she can ambush the new 4 guards from.  Her
               eyes adjust quickly but notice there is a single candle
               on a wooden desk.  The room is lit by the candle and she
               can tell there is only 3 chairs of wooden design and the
               wooden simple desk.  The floor is stone and not carpeted.
               There is a metal door a couple feet away to the left and
               to the south (Fremea's right) is another door and it seems
               open as there is light coming in from somewhere.]

              [The Metal man senses danger for Master A'kril.  It seems
               he can sense where A'kril is.  He sees Ben'dar and Z'leyra
               fighting the wizard.  Each has a 50/50 chance of being
               the target.  The man begins to stomp forward toward Arawn
               then turns right and rounds the couch and starts to storm
               near Z'leyra.  He comes behind the Shaman and punches
               her as hard as he can with his right hand.  The metal
               impact goes hard and indents the chainmail so hard it does
               3 points of damage past the chainmail's padding.  She
               is pushed into the firewall that surrounds A'kril a foot
               and the fire impacts against her body but she doesn't
               burn as her helmet and more importantly her firestone
               seems to protect her.]

              GM: Was a purely random 1-50 Ben'dar 51-100 Z'leyra. :<

              [A'kril glances and sees the metal man coming to his help.
               He decides to go after Ben'dar.  He thrusts his sword  at
               Ben'dar and hits in the upper left shoulder just below the
               shoulder doing 3 points of damage past his dragon armor.
               For the first time Ben'dar spills blood in this combat.  A
               voice in the language is heard seeming to shout one or two
               words.  Then it quickly shifts to Sidh and A'kril speaks
               very quickly.]

              A'kril: "Halt your allies!"

              [Quickly and with motion like a bird suddenly from the
               south door floats inside the room the statue.  It seems
               the statue can move and is floating on its stone disk.
               It is still in stone form but hovers off the ground about
               3 feet and looks toward the back of the room.  Both hands
               are raises and poised.  Ben'dar, Z'leyra, Fremea and
               Arawn notice the statue enter.]


        Actions? Comments?

        Next Update...Friday...I hope...

        GM:  Arawn - Good actions so far.  But with the time it will
                     be critical on what folks do in the next few phases.
                     I still have posted actions but not all could be
                     done in 2 phases.  Including the warning of others,
                     the energy shield and such.  I will do that next
                     unless you change plans.  
                  
             Ben'dar - You continue to fight A'kril?

             Chion - Email to follow and we'll figure out what to do for
                a new character. :<

             Fremea - I did your action partially by blocking the doorway.
               But I also figured stealth and hiding might be best for
               now.  You know the room is empty.  You can move back
               into the main room if you wish.  Let me know.

             Kiet - Got two dazed guards you could take out but now new
               threats are in the room.

             Raban - You only have 1 of the 3 left.  The guy with the
               battle axe.  If you can take him out new actions?

             Z'leyra - You should know next phase if the spell was
               dispelled or not.  Your pretty damaged and figure you
               can't take much.  You may need to retreat and heal?
               But then theres the metal man.  He'd have attacked
               anyone attacking A'kril so just bad choice of location
               and 50/50 :<

             Unali - You saw a bit of the hallway south so will detail
               some of the map section you see below.  If you take
               out the last guard do you go with your previous actions
               emailed or new actions?  Will assume the emailed actions
               if not stated otherwise.

        GM: Next update I will do Map cleanup.  Will remove the dead
            icons from the map.  So as better to figure out who is
            left.  But for now they remain.

        GM: Now as to Arawn's Peace Plan.  A'kril seems to listen
            but your not sure of his orders.  You can assume from
            his statement that it works both ways on stopping the
            conflict.  At this point it will be mainly up to Ben'dar,
            Z'leyra and maybe Raban, Kiet, Fremea to figure out what
            will happen to the plan.  How they act.  But the problem
            is Ben'dar doesn't understand what is said.  Z'leyra
            does.  But Ben'dar doesn't.  Chances are he'd get in
            another swing unless Ben'dar changes his mind?

        GM: Party still had to deal with Metal Man, Flying Mysterious
            Statue, A'kril, 6 guards that are clear threats.  2 Guards
            are dazed/confused by Kiet and others KO/Dead or Sleeping.

   GM: NOTE: Running out of symbols. Guards D and E aren't on the map
       D is in same space as the door (/) technically and E is along
       the south wall (_) so not shown on map but they are there. 

   GM: All Doors in room are now open as are the 2 secret doors.
