[Recap]
From Will: [Re; Actions]
Will with a knowing look at Kiet and a nod in the direction of
the captain slaps him (Kiet) on the back and says "He's a brave
man he should be remembered as a hero."
OOC: So long as he is facing the Vong he will have to decide if
he wants to turn his back on them to attack us. We need to keep
him at the front as much as possible.
GM: Ack.

[New Stuff]
[Augado 10th, 1634TH]
[Location: Middle Katai Plains]
[ Mountains west of Pamau]
[Time: Minutes before..]
Kiet shakes his head at the Captain slips through the tiny shift
cleft to get to the outside cave. He is a bit shocked that no
one came to help but he did notice many were ready to kill the
guy. Course Kiet himself might've been dead first.
Will with a knowing look at Kiet and a nod in the direction of
the captain slaps Kiet on the back and says, "He's a brave man
he should be remembered as a hero."
[Time: 12:50 pm]
Will casts his spell to communicate with Z'leyra and do a quick
test. Then Will slips out of the inner cave into the larger
growing cave.
Chion and Raban watch Z'leyra cast her own spells. She soon
becomes invisible and performs other spells. She simply floats
through the wall. She knows the cave outside is large and
the spells are short lived.
Raban waits until he is happy that Zhou has moved Captain
Lin away. Then he dashes a few feek away and than makes
a running toward leap at the rock wall. Raban splays his
arms so his special ability can make him move thorugh the
wall. As Raban ducks his head, Chion watches in amazement
at his odd ability then hears SPLAT.
Chion looks to Raban and then realizes he should've got both
them on her spells to get through the thick wall.
Raban's face is slammed up against the wall and cold stone.
He realizes something must've messed up. He heard Chion
say something soft like "good luck". Raban shakes his head
in the bit of pain as his brain settles down from being slammed
into the wall. Raban growls and backs away again for a second
attempt.
Raban does the running leap again toward the rock wall and
lowers his head back so it doesn't kill him this time. Raban
concentrates as much as he can and then passes through the wall
like it was nothing to appear on the other side.
Chion instead of using his own mana uses a item from his gear to
generate mana to cast a quick teleport to pop outside the wall.
Thanks to some info he was able to appear in the deep darkness and
away from Captain Lin.
[Time: 12:50:20 pm]
Unali in all black slips toward the pond edge in the south
east area. With the torchlight covering about a 20 foot area
nearby she is limited to her movement. She only has a 10 foot
area to slip to the west of the torchlight and the edge of the
pond itself. Turning north she is almost due south of the
Shape tending to the Orbs. She is confident that she is hard
to see in this dark and her clothing.
She waves the others to wait until she can get to this one.
She is confident that she can kill the Shaper fast. But to
move a group this large could endanger her chances.
Caladan moves Farseeker forward and removes his cloak.
Caladan's cloak is brown but dark enough to cover those
with brighter clothing. He points to the small narrow
corridor by the pond and outside the torchlight. He
explains he'll try to cover folks up as they need to slip
in front of the path of the torch in the distance.
Now about 30 feet away from the shaper Unali tilts her
head to gaze at the rock wall to ensure there is no hidden
Vong. But she doesn't seem to detect any. With both
daggers in hand she creeps toward the Shaper.
The Shaper is facing west and toward the Orb group. There
must be 20-30 Orbs and they seem to be full grown. She is
tending to the stalk and almost petting the things. The
Orbs are not open in talk mode but are closed tight. Unali
guesses these could allow a large army to talk to each other
all over the world. Together with the many other ones in the
pond she realizes this is a problem if the Vong use them against
the world. The Shaper in this case is wearing a snake head
like Arawn half-worn at Lake Oca. The snakes are in deep
shadew as is the Shaper but she can tell they are active. If
the Shaper has some communication with the local Brain or
a larger Brain she will have to kill fast.
Unali looks at the next torch on the wall that is just giving
a area just south of the shaper in darkness. Just another
5 feet or so and the Shaper would be in the torch's light.
Lucky for Unali she is now in shadow so it should be easier
to kill her. But with other eyes around the fight will have
to be done in the shadow.
Unali spends a full minute to creep closer and closer. She
is only 20 feet then 10 feet closer as Unali concentrates on
her target. Those snakes could warn the creature so she
takes no chances.
Unali leaps forward and brings her magical dagger around the
Shapers right and punches upward and left side. The dagger
penetrates the armpit and pierces inside. It does massive
damage killing the Shaper before she can even flinch her arm.
The other normal dagger also stabs forward on her left back
but isn't even needed. Unali knows that cutting the neck could
be hard with those snakes on her helmet.
Unali feels the Shaper begin to immediately sag and draws
her backward toward the dirt not the water. Unali twists her
body to let the body fall onto the ground and to avoid the
snakes.
Unali then reaches forward and quickly slices at the snakes
and kills them. She hopes no one has been warned at this point.
Unali glances around and notices no problems. He waves
Farseeker and others forward.

Next Update....Friday...
GM: A short update. I wanted to work on Fremea's part and
do more. But with storms I couldn't work as long. I
will do that next update. I also had to do lots of
behind the scenes stuff for some upkeep. So stay tuned
for the next update. Hope to be longer. I'm keeping track
of spell duration.
GM: For this cave groups divided up
With Unali: Farseeker, Caladan, Strie'bog, Ben'dar, Kell
and Arawn
With Fremea: Raban, Kiet, Zhou, Chion, Will, Captain Lin
