[Recap]
From Raban: [Re: Actions]
Raban laughs, "Personal experience is right. I learned from...
GM: Ack.
From Z'leyra: [Re: Corona]
Having made arrangements to have Will and Arawn take all her
magical items and Corona back to the High Elder's to prevent
the items from causing the party to be targeted, she goes for
a flight with Corona.
During the flight she explains to Corona about how she wanted
Corona with her, but that she had found that it would be too
dangerous for Corona and that she ultimately decided that it
would be best for Corona to stay at the High Elders and observe
until Z'leyra gets back.
After the flight she packs up her magical gear and hands it to
Will. the calls Corona and explains about the teleports that
Will will carry her thru. She hugs Corona before handing him
off to Will.
GM: Ack.

[New Stuff]
[Julis 1st, 1634TH]
The Blue Moon this day docks at Ci'jian the first Katai
city the party visits. On the north east peninsula several
in the party visit the city. Z'leyra almost naked from her
gear being left on the ship gets help from Kell on buying
a new suit of leather armor for her and a short sword. She
will need new armor and gear to replace the magic items she
will send home if Chion teleports back. She feels naked
without her stuff and knows the leather and new blade is nothing
compared to what she will be giving up.
---------------
[Julis 4th, 1634TH]
Raban is teased as being a ladies man.
Raban laughs, "Personal experience is right. I learned from the
best and even taught quite a few long before I became a Bard. I am
still a teacher as need arises and opportunity presents. That is
part of my job, after all. A Bard teaches and entertains as well
as help those that need it. I work with the poorest as well as
the wealthiest people, they are not so different at times.
Understanding people is a primary part of being a Bard. Being
able to feel what is really needed, what is covered by lies and
deceits or simple embarrassment. I know quite a lot on these
topics, which is why I spoke up like I did."
Farseeker grins back at the giant, "you must show me how you
teach the young gals. Many like the uniform I wear back home
but I'm sure a giant can be alluring as well. Especially in
the belief of large hands..." He trails off as he realizes
the other women in the party are nearby.
-----------------------------
[Julis 4th, 1634TH]
Hours after the pirate attack, the decision is finally made
to teleport back. Chion has been quiet of late and seems to
be hesitant so Will and Arawn both offer. It is soon decided
that both will go. Will will teleport up and Arawn will then
teleport back to save magical energy and reduce danger.
Both men announce they will leave before sunset around 4pm.
Captain Sung agrees that he will anchor the ship for at least
three hours in case of danger. After that because of possible
detection, tracking, weather, darkness and other factors it
will be assumed the two are lost. They will have to get
to the mainland and find the party. Staying too long at
deep sea anchoring can cause damage to the anchor chain and
ropes. But Arawn and Will ensure it shouldn't take no more
than 30 minutes up and back. But the Captain has his doubts
on this long range trip. By now the three pirate prisoners
are in the brig and secure with a sailor on duty at all times.
So talk on deck can be open and frank, but not shouting since
that could be heard in the brig.
Z'leyra looks to Corona high on the rigging and decides to
discreetly undress and change into eagle form herself. She
takes to the air with Corona and does high arcing dives
and circles around the ship. Both can't go beyond the
ship's range or get overrun by the distance gap. High above
the endless view of ocean, Z'leyra speaks to the snow white
bird. She explains that at first she wanted him to be
with the party. But as more and more dangers become
apparent she has changed her mind. She thought she could use
other methods to hide the magic but in doing so that would
put the party, herself and Corona in danger. To put a
Tonah into danger like that is something most Shaman don't
do willingly. She also assures him that if he is needed
or her magic gear maybe both can be fetched. As long as
there are teleporters alive there is always a chance.
Corona is quiet for some time but bows to her wishes. He
voices in not so many words that he is still getting used to
this Tonah-loyalty thing. Since he is not of this world the
rules for it do not seem to apply. But as long as Corona feels
Z'leyra needs help he will remain with her. Lady Varo had
mentioned the rules of this world and how animals like dogs
and that dirty smelly rodent with the red eyes seem to be picked
by humans as pets. A odd custom he has voiced to Arawn and
Z'leyra over the last few months. Z'leyra knows the bird is
smart but in some ways of human customs he has a lot to learn.
Some time later both land back onto the fast moving ship and
prepare to depart one another.
Near 4pm the ship is anchored in the middle of hundreds of miles
of ocean. For now the sea and weather are both calm. Both
Will and Arawn collect items and try to sort them into bags so
they aren't mixed up. Kell brings Squirt forth who seems to
sense this and begins to hiss a bit. Caladan suggests placing
the animal into a sleep trance for the trip. Otherwise if he
escaped and fell to the ocean there would be no hope. Caladan
explains it will not harm the animal and he can be woken up at
the Citadel. Caladan quickly places his spell onto the animal
after Squirt is placed into Will's backpack. The animal soon
falls asleep. The animal and then tied in and secured.
Z'leyra calls Corona over and hugs the tall eagle. Corona
knows that he only has to be nearby for the spell to take
him and not be in contact.
Zhou pulls a long scroll from his vest. He hands it to
Arawn. "This is a magically sealed scroll for the High Elder.
It updates him on our situation. It can only be unsealed by
him without it being destroyed. He will know how to do so.
Hand deliver it to Oby or the High Elder himself."
Will and Arawn head to the forward part of the ship with Corona
and sleeping squirt. The sailors are told not to enter the area
for safe teleport back until they return or the ship leaves.
Kell then suddenly remembers something and grabs something from
his belt. he hands it to Will and he sees it as a compass for
better direction determination.
With Arawn standing nearby in range of he spell, Will begins
to cast magic. At the same time Arawn also casts magic. Arawn
casts a divination spell to detect his immediate future. But
he sees nothing of concern. Either the spell failed or truly
nothing will happen. Will casts invisibility and disappears.
Will casts insubstantial and loses his body mass. Will then
casts levitate and floats up a few feet. Will then casts a small
teleport spell and heads straight up some distance. Arawn nearby
levitates as well so not to fall. Will takes a quick look around
and sees nothing but water. After almost 10 seconds he casts another
teleport spell this time taking longer and jumps over 1,000 miles
north by north-west a bit.
Arawn not invisible levitates in the air. Both men scan the
skies and notice large areas of forest below. Suddenly 1 large
creature flies through the invisible and insubstantial Will.
Both are shocked to then notice four other creatures fly by.
When they look further Arawn recognizes them as Hippogriffs from
descriptions the party have told of them. The five beasts do
a slow bank and turn. This is when Will suddenly becomes solid
as the spell wears off. Will quickly recasts insubstantial
and loses mass again. Fearing his levitate will stop he
recasts it but the first attempt fails. The hippogriffs are now
about 30 feet away and moving closer. Will recasts levitate
and it goes back on again. Will reaches out to touch Arawn and
make him invisible as the creatures fly past the two men. They
fly past and circle the area. Their nostrils flare as they
try to smell for their prey. Corona circles the area visible
and tries to avoid 3 of the hippogriffs and distracts them long
enough to get Will to cast his spells. As the five hippogriffs
circle eager to find their prey, Will casts another long term
teleport. It takes another 10 or so seconds. Suddenly one
hippogriff hits Arawn with his wing and circles back. he tries
to claw at the unseen Alfar. But in that instant Will finishes
the teleport spell and both leave the area.
This time both men appear above another large area of forest.
But this time a lake is seen below. using their mental picture
and knowledge of the Citadel they teleport over it. Having
arrived, Will squints down to the north village farm lands for
a spot to teleport down to. This is when his invisibility spell
wears off. Both men then teleport to a dusty open farm area.
They wait a few seconds until they regain body mass and fall to
the ground from the levitation. Once on the ground they begin
to walk south to the Citadel through the north village.
Corona scouts the area out and gets to the Citadel well ahead
of the two men. Squirt amazingly remains sleeping in the backpack.
As they reach the large iron gate they find it open. Two guards
are standing there. One steps forward. "This way. You've been
expected." Confused both men look at each other and shrug. They
are escorted to the high Elder's manor. Soon Oby meets them outside
as they are led into the foyer.
"Arawn and Will...yes you were expected." He takes the bags
of gear and hands them to another guard who takes them away.
Will explains the situation briefly and Oby nods. "Yes we can
store the items. The High Elder figured someone would come
back like Chion. We didn't expect you two though. We figured
Chion. He had felt that some would ignore his warnings and
then change their mind. We didn't know when but we figured around
this time. Would you like some food or drink?"
Will shakes his head explaining he only is here to drop the stuff
off before the sun goes down. Oby nods and assures them the gear
and animals will be taken care of. Squirt will be more a problem
to store away. But he knows someone who can watch him as long
as the animal is nice. Corona can take care of himself and be
free around the area.
"The High Elder would have liked to meet with you but he is
meeting with three wizards right now on a domain border dispute."
Arawn hands over the scroll who looks at the waxed seal. He
notices it is a magical seal as well and nods. "I will deliver
it to the High Elder when the meeting is over. Good luck on
your return trip. Good luck on your mission."
Arawn and Will leave having spent about ten minutes inside
the Citadel. Outside in the Citadel grounds Arawn and Will
lightened by less gear and animals prepare to travel back.
Will had been using a wand to drain the mana so isn't drained
himself. But Arawn will use no such item. As they walk
along the west side of the Citadel they notice Corona circling
overhead. At one point he lands on the roof of the manor and
watches the two men leave.
Heading into the forest a bit to avoid people the two men
prepare again for teleporting.
Arawn casts levitate and insubstantial. Then casts a quick
translocation spell to send both of them high above the forest.
Arawn then recasts the translocate spell three more times. Each
going around 360 miles south. Using the compass and bearings
they have to reorient their view slightly. Arawn has to recast
levitate and insubstantial as the spells end. Since the next
jump will go into the Katai lands he also casts a mana shield
over himself. Arawn then does one final long distance translocate
spell sending both over the ocean. They scan for the ship and
find it in the distance off by probably a thousand feet. But
with line of sight now fixed they both are translocated one last
back onto the ship.
Captain Sung quickly raises anchor and the ship moves onto
its journey. Arawn recasts some energy spells to regain some
energy loss.
Later that night around the cramped and over crowded mess hall
table the party sits for one last meeting-dinner. As the meat,
breads, veggies and soups are served Zhou begins.
"Out plan in three days is to land in Jiquo in the merchant
district wharf. I had considered landing in the private noble
or upper class docks. But there would be fees and attention
paid to the landing. Questions would be asked for which we may
not be able to give all the answers. The contact in the city
is Tiehul Sal. I have no idea if that's his real name but it
is rumored he is from the Cerulean Empire and not a native of
Katai. The reason why some Chaos wizards send apprentices and
other apprentices choose to visit Katai to him is that he is
known by many in the Dark Lands. There is some connection between
him and the High Elder. So he should be a trusted ally for our
purposes. He is known to work in the black market. That is a
good thing for us in that he can find us a wagon to use for our
travel that may already be prepared for smuggling. I suspect
most of his wagons though are merchant supply style rather than
a noble's carriage. But we shall see. He owns several businesses
some legitimate in the city including a general store, gambling
hall and tavern. He should have many contacts we can tap into
to learn information and rumors."
Zhou chews some of his roasted salmon then continues. "I don't
know how things will move or how swiftly. But we have three
primary tasks. One to meet the contact. Two to deliver the
prisoners. Finally to sell the pirate treasure. With that
in mind for those going to meet the contact we will ride on
horses to the tavern to meet him. I'm thinking for this task
Unali, Arawn, Raban, Shu, Fremea, Whitney, Farseeker and myself
will go to meet the contact. Whitney I rather you not go
alone in the city or to the barracks in case your description
is out there. Ben'dar, Chion, Will and Z'leyra can go to
the local barracks and turn the prisoners over then join us.
Caladan, Kell, Kiet and Strie'bog can go to the markets and
sell the pirate treasure."
"Of course if you wish to switch to a different team let
me know. This is best in that we can split up the tasks and
not be one large group in the city. Tiehul owns The Brass
Mug in the north sector of the city. I'm sure we can ask on
the street for directions.

[Julis 5th, 1634TH]
Today Zhou goes around and talks to each person in the group.
He ensures that all are secure in their alias and cover story.
He tries to trick folks up with their names and background.
Zhou approaches Ben'dar with a mug of ale as he cleans one of
the storerooms of spilt lantern oil. "Here drink this while you
work. I wanted to remind you that most in Katai even in the
rural areas are considered civilized, even the peasants. You
will pass fine in with little notice. But I would avoid wearing
the wolf headdress and the dragon teeth. Those things will bring
more attention."
Zhou approaches Whitney, "we need to figure out a role for you
in this party." He outlines each role and then asks. "So what
do you wish to be and do you want a cover name?"
-----------------------------
[Julis 7th, 1634TH]
Caladan stands ready for going ashore. He leans against his
warstaff which is more a walking stick than weapon. His magical
staff at the Lands. the stick is only a simple pole weapon
and not adorned in any fashion. Over his Katai style clothing
he wears some quilted armor. His brown gloves and brown waist
length cloak contrast with his leather jerkin and black pants.
On his horse he stores most of his other gear like his composite
bow and quiver and metal helmet. His horse sits with leather
barding which according to Zhou is not uncommon for some in
the military or noble class to have. He looks like a hiker
with his small backpack on and leather hat on his head. The
cloak makes him look more civilized than what first glance
seems to give. It blows in the breeze as he waits on the
side of the ship watching the shoreline. Hours earlier he moved
his magical bracelet to his leg hidden under his pants. It is
the only magical item he has at this point. But the battery
may be needed and it has a low aura if seen, but now his pants
blocks it from being seen or searched.
Ben'dar stands waiting as well grabbing his leather armor in
places as if too hot in it. But in fact the temperature isn't
that bad its just not his dragon armor. In that he felt almost
invulernable. In this flimsy leather armor he feels less safe.
He fidgets with the armor and is glad he has a spare when this
one falls apart in combat. Ben'dar glances at the hold where
Tef'wo is clearly eager to leave. Dressed as Caladan's horse
in leather barding. Ben'dar smiles at the thought of Caladan's
mount a fine Zen'dan plains horse. But Tef'wo is no match
for it by any imagination. Ben'dar then frowns at the thought of
leaving his armor, belt, dagger, other gear and especially his
trusted pike at the lands. Now he only stands with leather armor,
normal daggers, spear in hand, bow and quiver on back. Tef'wo
has the rest of his gear but a normal spear is harder than his
old pike to use. Sure he knows he'll have to rely on his skill
as a fighter now than magic. But magic does help and in the case
of the Vong it could be vital. Dressed in simple leather jerkin,
pants and boots. Zhou had told him he could dress in his normal
clothing or fine katai styles but most horse experts don't dress
up once off ship after a long trip. Ben'dar grips his gloves
around the spear eager to get things going.
Nearby Farseeker stands also ready to get into action. While
he served in ship duties during the long trip it was boring to
him and just a duty. Now with combat on the horizon his morale
is increased. He left his magical belt and lance at the Citadel.
But now he stands simply dressed in Katai style jerkin and pants.
His lower arms are bare with no gloves. On his warhorse most
of his gear is stored like a spare suit of chainmail, broadsword,
battle axe and throwing axe. Now in his guard role he stands with
chainmail under his clothing as best it can. The jerkin is clear
he wears the chainmail and is armored as he clearly is not hiding
the fact of wearing armor. On his hip is his single weapon of
his trusted great sword.
Arawn soon joins the others after packing his stuff onto the
riding horse. Some in the party notice he left before going on
the ship his lymrian books and the Elven plate. Now after
the recent teleport all his magic gear is left behind at the
Citadel including his magical sword. As teacher to the noble's
daughter he has heard the interior cities are dangerous. So
now he wears his elven scale mail under his clothing just in
case. On his back is his quiver and bow not knowing when it
might be good to teach archery in the wilderness to the kid.
Some are concerned that he has no weapons on his body. At
least none that anyone has seen. Without his magical sword
he doesn't even have a dagger. Some suspect that could be
for his role or just no other weapons he owns. But from the
battle mind demonstration it seems he has some martial arts
training. Most of his gear is on his horse but he has a backpack
on his back for some immediate items. Dressed in simple leather
jerkin and pants he looks dignified as a teacher in his knee
length cloak. Zhou explains that nobles do like their cloaks
but even the middle class has such items. To protect from the
climate or simple secrecy many wear cloaks. But the lower class
rarely wear such things. With gloved hands he places his Katai
style hat on his head and combs his now long grown hair over his
ears. It would take concentration to detect his elf ears but
at most first impressions it would be missed. Instinctively
he reaches for his face wrap which isn't there. Zhou had suggested
not to wear it. Only the criminals are known to wear such things
to hide their intent. While some in the calvary wear them it
is rare. Arawn knows he'll have to get used to showing his face
to doubtless thousands of people in Katai.
Raban stands as best he can on the swaying deck. He has been
well adjusted to the deck but its not the sea that makes him
nervous today. It is who he is, his sheer size. He wonders if
too much attention to him will help or hinder the others. He
shifts from foot to foot as he considers the situation. He
glances to the others who seem to have not mentioned either
way their opinion. Not even Zhou said Raban would be a problem.
Yet his cover story seems less weak not knowing some of the
languages. But the chance of needing such information is low.
He rubs his arms missing his jeweled armbands he left at the
Citadel. Without his amulet he knows he will have to rely on
his own strength and skills. Worst of all he had to leave his
mandolin behind. One of his primary instruments the magical
aura was too big. He knows he will have to rely on his pipe
and drum now if needing to entertain. This morning he tried
to pray to his goddess but just 3 days before he sent his
religious accountrements away. He hopes his goddess knows
it is a serious matter to leave them behind and hopes she
understands the reasons why. His horse that has seemed to
enjoy the rest during the trip knows the large man will be
using him soon. Most of Raban's gear is on the horse now
and ready to move out. Raban knows as guard he will have
to look as such. Of course his very bulk will demonstrate
his role. Standing on deck he wears his leather vest which
seems to be a custom fit suit of leather armor. Longbow and
quiver on back. Leather helmet on head and dagger on belt.
He has a back pack of some items his horse doesn't need to carry.
With arms crossed he stands in leather jerkin, pants, boots
and leather boots. His cloak looks a bit small on him but
does good to protect his back.
Kiet is also nervous but not of the land in the distance
but the prisoners. No one seemed to heed his warnings.
In the last few days they didn't even try to escape so they
could be killed. Foolish prisoners. Kiet had left or sent
back many of his items including his magical sword and some
minor non-magical gear he wouldn't need on this mission. Kiet
smiles to himself thinking of being Zhou's servant. Zhou has
treated him well and not abused him but has used him for
show when needed. But as time goes on Kiet realizes that Zhou
is more weak than he thought and needs the help. Dressed in
leather and a fighting dagger on his belt he is ready to
move out. Zhou mentioned that most folks don't walk around
the city with ropes on their belt but did say some farmers
do or teamsters. So in the end Zhou says Kiet should have no
problem with his ropes. With backpack on his back to carry
some needed gear his donkey carries the rest. Kiet wears
simple Katai style tunic and pants. the only thing that almost
looks out of place is his high quality boots. They don't look
out of station but they show some coin was paid for them.
Chion left most of his magical items behind as well. But he
has been seen with his staff. A staff that would clearly be
a death mark in Katai. Many are concerned why he still has it.
Most of his gear is on his warhorse ready to move out including
his battle axe and crossbow. Chion's role has been less of a vital
part but a simple sailor trustee is one for the noble to use
as a personal liaison to the ship and naval operations. On land
Chion could be used for merchant deals with ships and the like.
Now Chion stands in his sailor light fitting clothing of browns
and tans of no particular national style. Like the others he
wears a cloak around his shoulders. Under his clothing he wears
a suit of chainmail and has a sword on his hip along with
a sai for personal use.
Kell misses squirt but realizes that leaving him at the Citadel
might be better than him end up in some kitchen. He just hopes
the party doesn't get in some position where only a small animal
like Squirt could save them. He has heard the story of how
Caladan's firesnake helped some of the old party escape from
a jail by getting keys. Like Ben'dar he will miss his magical
spear but knows it is a risk. Most of his gear is on his horse
but he is ready to move out and act in this mission. His role
as trader is elusive but makes sense for a noble to have a personal
haggler or one to deal in business affairs. Most of his gear
is on his horse or draft horse including his spare weapons and
armors. Most only have one horse but Kell has two horses. He
stands now on deck in simple Katai style tunic and pants of
middle station. But he is distinctive looking in his grey cloak
with brown stripes. Like Arawn he wears a black wide brim hat
to disguise his head. Zhou warns both men that the custom is
to take off hats indoors especially in higher station areas.
So they should seek the shadow if needed but both have grown
their hair somewhat longer to cover their ears and forehead.
Ha'kell wears under his clothing scale male and has a tulwar
on his hip and dagger on his belt.
Strie'bog finishes up storing his gear onto his warhorse and
soon joins the others. his role as entertainer allows him to
be more relaxed in Katai. Zhou says there are many street
entertainers from the lowest beggar to skilled ones. Most
are tolerated if not over pushy. He takes all three of his
magical instruments along. Unlike the others who dress in more
subdued ways he dresses in fine clothing. He wears fine style
high quality tunic, pants, boots, belt, hat and even a nice
exceptional fur cloak. This clearly shows he is a skilled and
successful entertainer. His role as bard allow gives him that
aura of a world traveler. With gloves hands he places his
backpack on his back. Under his clothing he wears only quilted
armor. On his back is his bow and quiver. He can get to his
axe for combat but in most cases his gloved hands are empty of
any weapons on his person.
Even after seeing Z'leyra change her mind on her magic gear,
Fremea still retains much of her magical items. Even without
inspecting Arawn and Kell can see the aura around her bags as
the bags themselves seem to be magical. That is until she
wraps those bags into normal bags during packing. Fremea
confides in Arawn that she will hide her stuff in the wagon.
She now stands on deck with her bags at her feet. She is
dressed in her fine noble quality silk dress. For the last
few weeks she has been slowly adjusting to wrapping her wings
tight against her body to get the muscles used to it rather
than cramping up. Now though still annoying she is used to
hiding her wings. To further protect her back she wear a cloak
to show no humps or bumps on her back. It isn't a perfect
look but no one should question it unless they touch her back
for a long period. Unlike Kell and Arawn her normal long length
hair is more natural looking and covers up her ears. She does
not need to wear a hat though her cloak has a hood if needed.
Her weapons and armor is packed up but under the dress she
wears her leather armor and has a dagger at hand with some
effort. Without a horse Fremea will have to ride on one of the
other horses likely Raban's. An annoying prospect rather than
flying free.
Unali stands at the side of the ship hands on the railing looking
at her homeland get closer and closer. She has been quiet for
the last few weeks of the trip, more so than usual. Little is
said of her homeland or her past. Many feel this may be a hard
thing to come back now but the reason is not known why. Her
warhorse is stuffed with her gear bags, spare weapons and armors.
The warhorse itself has chain barding which for her role as a
noble would fit. 0Today she is dressed in her fine Katai style
clothing of riding tunic and pants. The dusty road will not
need her in a dress at this point. At her hip are the daggers
that she is used to wearing. It is clear from some auras seen
during horse packing that she still has some magic items like
her magical scimitar with her but hidden on her horse as best
as she can get.
With the pirate treasure had, Whitney pledges to the Captain
to pay his ship fees out of it. For his part Captain Sung
allows his work time on board to pay for some of it. Now
he doesn't have to work his way for at least the last few days
of the cruise. He sighs at the relaxed muscles and wonders
about his fate. Zhou has pretty much made it clear either
join or be detained or taken back to the citadel. But Whitney
agreed to join the others in this foolish mission to save the
world. He always know in a empire of 7 million he could always
slip away and never be seen again. Only this morning does the
party remember that Whitney has no horse. This will mean he
will have to walk or ride in the wagon if they get one.
Dressed in simple leathers he stands and grabs his backpack.
Under his clothing he wears his leather armor and has belted
sling and dagger. On his backrack hangs his bow, quiver, axe
and buckler.
Z'leyra for the last few days has felt as if losing her friend
and toys is hard to live with. Some have whispered that sending
the party down to a land of anti-magic is a test of the magic
users. Can they live without magic and their toys? Until
three days ago Z'leyra seemed to take that as a yes the risk
was worth it. Then suddenly she changed her mind. Now almost
naked of her accountrements she stores her gear onto her own
horse. She stores her shamanic drum away, while not magical
it has markings that could raise eyebrows. She looks at the
leather satchel she made on the ship and compares it to her
fine artistic one she sent to the citadel. It just isn't
the same but she stores her healing supplies into it and takes
a brief inventory. Her role of Healer will be easy to explain
with her medical gear and knowledge. She is dressed in her
Katai style tunic and pants. But has a nice silk belt, pouch
and decent looking leather boots she made to replace her magical
boots. Under her clothing she wears simple leather armor she
obtained a week ago. She has a dagger on her hip along with
a sling. Also on her hip is a short sword she bough also a
week ago to replace her much more powerful personally made
magical great sword.
Woodsman Will stores his gear onto his riding horse. He
wears personally made buckskin gloves, hat and boots. His
tunic and pants are standard looking along with the cloak he
wears on his back. On his back he has his bow and quiver.
Under his clothing he wears buckskin leather and ring armor.
ON his belt and in his boot are seen daggers. On his hip
is a bastard sword.
Zhou is also on deck with the few bags he has on his horse.
He is dressed in fine noble quality silks to fit his role.
All of his gear is on the horse but he does wear a simple
fighting dagger on his belt.
Shu is identical to Zhou in that her gear is on the horse and
only has a dagger on her hip. She is dressed in fine quality
silk tunic, pants and boots. Unlike the others who are generally
dressed in tan, browns and blacks her tunic is a bright yellow.

Next Update...Monday...
GM: All sheets are now updated and ready for landfall. All have
been sent out. Let me know if you didn't get it. I have
heard back from Strie'bog and Robert is just busy with work
but hopes to catch up soon.
GM: The clothing above I put folks in was just basic outline.
It can be changed if needed. It was just to flesh out the
scene a bit better. Also to serve as a reminder that I
have covered folks and ensured all gear on sheets like magic
and what is taken, etc.
GM: The main reason I did the clothing "on deck" stuff was to
ensure all sheets were good. Looks like Chion still has
his staff. Fremea and Unali have some personal magic items
and magic items from treasure respectively. Caladan kept his
bracelet but has it well hidden. So really only three have
magic items at this point entering Katai.
GM: All should be at full mana, health. Only exception is Z'leyra
who technically isn't at full Mana but has plenty to work
with so not an issue. Whitney I notice you have no horse
were you planning on buying one? Also what role would
you like to be defined and/or alias?
GM: Monday the ship will dock and will post more. I was going to
do a bit more in this update but I need to work on some notes.
