     [Recap]

        From Kell: [Re: Actions]
          "*$#!@<=!$$!!" swears Kell as his arm is hit yet again.  Really!
          This is pissing him off to no end now.  That Vong must pay.
          Dirty F)(*&^-Ba#$$%^!!

          Fighting through the pain in his arm, Kell grabs his second spear,
          takes aim, and hurls it at the cursed Vong with all his might,
          hoping to impale the mother-$#@&! in the face with that throw.
          [If there is no clear shot Kell won't do that.  Hitting friends
          is not a good idea.]  [Those dang caravaners and guards,
          corrupting such an innocent half-elf to use this language!]

          [I figure that will take 2 phases.  More after depending.

          Crap-ola.  There goes my much sought after anonimity. :) ]
        GM: Ack. It was a lucky hit.  P&P can be a deadly game for sure. :<

        From Will: [Re: Actions]
          Will hearing the swearing behind him has a sudden urge to duck.
        GM: Ack.

        From Kiet: [Re: Actions]
          Kiet will try to grab Zhou and say "No!" holding up his index...

          Kiet will cast his entangle spell at maximum EL and use the rope
          to entangle the Vong that hurt Kell.  With success, Kiet will
          then happily extinguish the Vong life with some dagger thrusts
          to the vitals.
        GM: Ack. Keep in mind speaking takes away from spell casting time.
            Looks like I gave the speech a 1 phase this time.  I do have
            a system on timing it. 

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

         [Augado 10th, 1634TH]
         [Location: Middle Katai Plains] 
         [          Mountains west of Pamau]                

         [Time: 12:56:24 pm]

           Kiet prepares his mental energy to construct a mana source
         for his entangle spell.

           With a better angle now that Kell has slightly backed off,
         Z'leyra raises her sling and fires at the Vong near Kell.
         The sling bullet flies but lands behind the Vong missing him
         entirely.

           In extreme pain, Kell backs off away from the Vong about
         7-8 feet.  Leaving his first spear behind on the ground he
         drops his shield and with his good left arm pulls his second
         spear from his back harness.  Even though his right arm is
         shredded below the elbow and pouring out blood, Kell sees
         blood in his eye for revenge.  He curses outloud angry that
         he is struck again in the good armor for a 3rd or 4th time
         in less than a year or so.  For such a calm trader it becomes
         clear the rogue gamblers on those caravans got to him as well.
         Cursing like a sailor, or Chion, he grips the second magical
         spear in both hands.  With shear adrenaline he raises the
         spear and holds his bad arm with his good arm.  Then with all
         the might he can muster he hurls it the 10 feet or so at the
         Vong warrior.  The magical spear was meant for the large
         gray face.  But the strike is weaker due to Kell's wound so
         it goes a big lower.  It impacts just below the knee on the
         right leg and penetrates deep doing a decent wound (8) past
         his tough armor. The spear sticks out and begins to sag from
         from gravity.

           Raban attempts to grasp toward Warrior #8 and slaps the Vong
         but its a light slap on his upper right chest doing a very
         light wound only.  Raban is a bit distracted as seeing Kell
         wounded and now Fremea seems to have fled the scene and he can't
         protect her.

           Unali continues to move westward toward the other Vong group.

           Farseeker runs as fast as he can as well toward the group
         of Vong in the west.

           Chion thrusts his sai toward Warrior #8's neck but fails to
         strike anywhere close to him as the large man dodges and moves
         like a acrobat.

           Ben'dar runs as fast as he can toward the Vong in the west.
         He wishes he had Tef'wo to speed things up.

           Arawn still invisible moves west and comes behind Farseeker.

           Kell staggers back a foot happy with the spear toss.  He grips
         his wounded arm with his left arm hoping to stop the blood loss.

           Captain Lin moves northward toward the last Vong guarding the
         main entrance.

           Warrior #8 spears his amphistaff at Raban and does a minor 
         stab at his lower left chest.  The giant takes it in stride though.

           Warrior #9 turns to Will and stabs the amphistaff at him but
         fails to make contact with the woodsman.  The Vong turns to do
         this attack on Will even with the spear impaled on his leg.
         The Vong grins as if the pain seems to help determination to kill
         or his suicide motivation.

           The last Shaper #4 pulls out a small Orb from her gown when
         she sees Unali and Farseeker running this way.  She begins to
         stroke it as she gives orders to the other three warriors nearby.

           Going on the Shaper's orders Warrior #D rushes toward the three
         humans nearby that were helping the Shaper harvest the pond items.
         The warrior immediately stabs one of the defenseless humans and
         slaughters him.

           Warrior #C and #E rush eastward to engage the new threat.

           Warrior #7 at the main entry area sees Captain Lin only about
         40 feet away.  He glances east to see others running this way
         and the Shaper issuing orders.  She is too far to hear the
         orders but the warrior looks hesitant at first.  Then turns to
         the brown door and places a hand on something.  The Vong door
         which seems to be like a animal membrane opens out and divides
         in two.  The Vong warrior rushes through the exit.

           Caladan runs fast toward the western Vong.

           Kiet gives a couple feet toward Zhou and places a hand onto
         the man's shoulder.   "No!" Holding up his index finger to his
         face.  "You don't get near the Vong unless it's a dire emergency."

           Will swings his Tulwar at Warrior #9 after he side steps and
         ducks.  He is a bit nervous by a sudden sling bullet flying
         near him and the approach of a very large nasty spear. He
         is glad Will wasn't close enough to be a pin cushion.  But
         in the process of avoiding this missile fire he fails to hit the
         Vong warrior.

           Strie'bog continues to run westward as well.

           Zhou looks at Kiet with a bit of frustration and shock.
         Zhou backs off a foot and looks at Kiet to show that he
         can help his friends and this is a dire need.  But there
         is no time to argue now.  

           Fremea runs as fast as she can toward the Vong that just
         escaped the cave.  She curses Captain Lin slightly for not
         letting her fly fast.  But then again Captain Lin did help
         her just moments ago with the Shaper.  So she forgives him
         for a few more minutes of aggravation.



         [Time: 12:56:28 pm]

           Kiet turns to glance at the Vong that stands with the spear
         in his leg.  He finishes the last amount of energy for the
         last of his spell creation.

           Z'leyra shifts slightly to get a better angle at the Vong
          with the spear as a anklet.  She fires again but fails to
          hit the Vong again by a few inches.

           Kiet turns toward the Vong and grabs one of his 12 foot
         rope strands from his belt.  He twirls it a bit over his
         hand a couple of times and tosses it toward the Vong.  As
         he does this he speaks the magical words to invoke the spell
         Since Kiet is a bit over 12 feet away the rope nears the feet
         of the Vong.  But as the words finish the rope strand begins
         to climb like a snake up the legs of the Vong.  The rope
         strand twists and weaves around the heavy leather armor and
         the boot spikes as if with ungodly dexterity.  Kiet waves
         a finger to the magical rope to further its course.  The
         rope ends up just below the arms as they continue to move.

           Raban now being attacked himself tries to grab a hold of the
         small Vong warrior but his grip is lost due to the shoulder
         spikes the Vong wears.

           Farseeker moves westward and engages Warrior #D who is also
         moving his way.  Farseeker swings his great sword but fails to
         land a blow in the fast melee.

           Chion uses his chance to strike at Warrior #8 who is now attacking
         Raban.  The Vong turns his side to Chion and the sailor twirls
         around ending up behind the Vong. The large sailor stabs forward
         with his sai and hits lower right near his waist.  Which happens to
         be a vulnerable spot in this case.  The sai does massive damage
         and with the other damage Raban did kills the Vong warrior.

           Ben'dar continues westward to help Farseeker.

           Arawn continues to run to help Farseeker still invisible.  He
         targets the Shaper rather than the warrior.  He whispers as he
         passes Unali so she can figure out his general direction so
         not to bump against him.

           Kell looks back to see Kiet doing his strange rope thing and
         also at Zhou and nods his attempt to rescue.  But Kell grabs
         his shield back onto his left arm and backs away. He needs
         to find Z'leyra nearby to see if she can do her healing.

           Captain Lin notices the Vong door seems to have shut behind the
         fleeing warrior.  He seems to be nervous but then places a quick
         palm slap against the area the Vong did.  Nothing happens and
         Captain Lin begins to bang on it.  Finally Captain Lin slices
         a downward slash and then a upward slash like a X on the Vong door.
         The Vong door seems to pulse and a bit of fluid is seen. Lin
         isn't sure if the Vong door is bleeding or just sweating.

           Warrior #9 doesn't seem to notice the magical ropes moving
         toward his hands and moves toward Will.  He snaps the amphistaff
         into a full snake in order for its poison to strike at Will
         in a quick strike and recoil.  But the large snake spear like
         head fails to hit the woodsman.

           Warrior #D strikes the second human with his staff and kills
         the older female.  The humans don't seem to be aware of
         what is going on as if controlled and are just being slaughtered
         by the warrior.

           Warrior #C moves past Farseeker and toward Unali.  But he doesn't
         see Arawn directly in front and collides with the Alfar.  Both
         recoil from the blow but do not fall.

           Warrior #E strikes at Farseeker with his amphistaff and hits
         the warrior in the lower left chest near his waist.  The stab
         does a light wound through his chainmail.

           Z'leyra notices Kell is wounded badly and wonders what to do
         next with the last Vong in the immediate area.

           Caladan and Strie'bog move westward to help the others.

           Kiet ignores Zhou and Kell as he concentrates on the spell
         of his ropes.  He should be able to get the Vong entangled
         in seconds.

           Will strikes at Warrior #9 with the spear in his leg but
         fails to hit the insane creature.

           The Shaper stops for a second or two as she notices the warrior
         stop hitting something.  She doesn't see Arawn but why did the
         warrior stop suddenly there?  She continues to stroke the orb
         and it begins to unfold a bit like a opening flower.  She barks
         a few other words toward the two warriors.

           Fremea glances eastward and is shocked as she runs to see a
         human slaughtered by one warrior.  She notices one remains but
         there is no chance even flying she could get there in time.
         she glances back as she skids to a halt next to Captain Lin.
         She examines the Vong Door up close.  It looks a bit like
         a animal or cow tongue.  It is meaty and pimply.  It seems to
         have vein like places in the meat of green color.  She examines
         the door closely and tries to figure out if its blood leaking
         out or something due to Lin's X slicing.  She wonders how long
         it will take to get through the door at this method of slicing
         it open?

         Next Update....Friday...

         GM: Hope you guys had a good holiday!  A quick 2 phase update.

             Kiet the ropes didn't quite get to the arms yet.  But
             should be able to actually grasp the arms and pull next
             phase.  OF course strength will be tested to break them.
             But with Raban, Will, Kiet, Zhou, Chion all against him
             shouldn't be long to deal with him especially if the arms
             are entangled.

             Sadly folks forgot the humans near the harvesting north
             Shaper.  So two are dead.  Not even Arawn who is closest
             can run to stop the next death in time on foot.

             Recap:
               One Shaper (#4) left 30 feet from Arawn.

               Warrior #7 off map other side of Vong Door.
               Warrior #9 near Kell and others wounded.
               Warrior #C, D and E near Farseeker/Arawn

               One Human about to be attacked by Warrior #D

         GM: Will update with tonight's experience for next update.
             So tonight isn't reflected just the last update from Friday.
             If reading the Mana/Experience link report.  One a side
             note fans of Torchwood it returns this Friday night on Starz!

         GM: Spells active:
               Arawn - Invisibility
               Kiet  - Entangle

         GM: For this cave groups divided up
             With Unali: Farseeker, Caladan, Strie'bog, Ben'dar and Arawn
             With Fremea: Raban, Kiet, Zhou, Chion,  Will, Captain Lin,
