[Recap]
From Kiet: [Re: Actions]
Kiet is somewhat more calmed down now, distracted by the promise
of (indirect) aid from the Katai Master General and the plans
being discussed now.
Kiet moves over to Unali and quietly whispers to her "I think...
GM: Ack.
From Will: [Re: Actions]
After Kiet returns his sword,
OOC: Though Will is not there yet there are a couple of things
he would like to ask assuming he survives long enough to make it
back as well as a couple of things to consider.
First the items for general consideration how are we planing to
handle Fremeas return. Perhaps he can be distracted or at least
wait to give him his weapons back until after that. The next item
may be moot if the first is not resolved and that is that I would
suggest that we don't reveal any special abilities until after
the fact. Otherwise it may either taint the information we give
him or may prejudice any help they might otherwise be willing to
lend or accept. That way if they were attacking the front while
we were going in a 'back door" then when all is done we just say
long live Katai and teleport off and then they are left to say who
was that masked man.
The question I would like to ask when I get back is if he is aware
of the attack on the military unit we came across or if that
happened to some of the rest of the Katai forces. Also how long
ago had he left the rest of the Katai forces. I'm sure you can
see the possible implications there.
---------
OOC: I like the growl... nice touch.
If we have any more shenanigans from Squirt... Will holding him
by the scruff of the neck starring into his beady little eyes
"Don't make me bite your head off"
OOC: I would never bite his head off... Will I'm not so sure
about.
GM: Ack. :)
From Kell: [Re: Actions]
[Sorry to clutter the list on National Toast Day, but it was my
moment of joy that day. I need as many of those as I can get.
Those are some mean dwarves, egging your car. Are they Miners or
what? Tell them to graduate or I'll send the Jinns after em. :)
National Donut Day!? It is the first Friday of June, so June 3
this year. Celebrate it! ]
Watching the scout with a wary eye, Kell gazes intently as the...
"I agree we shouldn't hide our abilities. Whilst I don't know...
-------
After Kiet returns his sword, not pointy end first into the...
[Kell's response depends on Li's answer. They probably don't
know each other, but GMs do great and wonderous things sometime.]
GM: Ack. I didn't mind the post clutter. Not a big deal. Just
remind me on the June event.
From Unali: [Re: Actions]
Some comments from Unali: "I would not reveal you are....
She is in favor of asking about Tor.
"A group of soldiers this close may hamper going back by...
GM: Ack.
From Will: [Re: Actions]
Another possibility would be to make sure they both run into
each other and let the Vong wipe them out. While there is a
diversion we could get set up and take out the "brain" thing but
wait until the maximum casualties our achieved on both sides. So
if the enemy of my enemy is my friend and both of these our my
enemies and they are killing each other off does that make them
both my friends?
GM: Ack. Sounds so...I dunno...naughty! :)
From Z'leyra: [Re: Votes]
Z'leyra/Alex votes:
New players...fine by me, but only to the number that you feel
comfortable GMing.
Return method...teleport. Remember that we should report to the
High Elder and Z'leyra wants to get Corona from the Dark Lands.
IBT...Z'leyra wants as much as possible to learn new skills and
spells and to make and enchant items.
Will play....Yes. (I also suspect that Will will play). :)
GM: Ack.
From Kiet: [Re: Actions]
Kiet is shocked by the suggestion that Unali makes & it shows.He
grabs her upper arm (lightly,& whispers to her "Unali, ....
GM: Ack.
From Arawn: [Re: Actions]
If Will gets too frazzled dealing with Squirt Arawn will give
him a smile and offer to take over watching Squirt. Hopefully,
like a ferret, he'll quickly wear himself out and take a nap in
a bit:)
GM: Ack.
From Fremea: [Re: Votes]
New players - ok with me. More people to mess with ;)
Teleport - don't want to hide anymore - plus getting to dark
lands first would be good
IBT - as much as we can get. She has a lot of things to catch up
on Post from Kell on avtions...
GM: Ack Thanks.
From Kell: [Re: Votes]
My votes:
Play next adventure? Yes
Allow New Players? Yes. (possible cap at 10 or 11 players to
ease GM's load.)
Return Home? 1 - ish. Teleport, but if possible go to Dark
Lands first to get Z's eagle and debrief w/ High Elder, then to
Marentia/home for some IBT.
IBT Time? 3.
IBT time in/around Sivas is good. Kell wants to work
on a few things too, things that can't be done on the
road/ship. Maybe visit his home for a bit, and having 2
months 'in' Sivas allows that. Suggest at least 2 months
in Sivas, then depending how we go to Donara possibly
more?? Kell needs to become proficient in Donaran.
GM: Ack. Thanks.
From Will: [Re: Actions]
and I thought we were getting along so well... now that we
understood each other
GM: Ack.
From Unali: [Re: Actions]
Unali quickly brings her knee up to lightly touch Kiet's groin.
"It would be a shame to crush such nice ... equipment.....
GM: ACk.
From Will: [Re: Votes]
Vote:
Adventure: Yes
New Players: Yes
Method of return:
Hmmm Will was actually looking forward to traveling cross country
to the nearest port and on the way doing a little hunting and
fishing. Then when we get to port taking a nice leisurely
cruise complete with casinos, night clubbing, show girls,
drinking and carousing. The perfect R&R.
I was only thinking of teleport if we ran into a jam. I'm not
to worried about the HE. I'm sure he has ways of finding out
what happened even before we get there.
Then I was also hoping to actually go back to the bridge and
steal the detector device. I know there are lots more in the
next town and everywhere else for that matter but that one
caught us which makes it personal. I thought I could pop back
there for a few minutes while we are in transit. Any one want
to come along?
IBT Time:
Hmmm... hmmm I would like to see if my cabin in the dark lands
is still standing and see if my pet is still alive (which reminds
me I have been searching old posts since I cant remember his
name). Although a lot would depend on if anyone back home is
still trying to kill me. Is there any one who wouldn't mind me
tagging along?
GM: Ack.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
[New Stuff]
[Next Post]
-----------------------------------------------------------------
GM: Just doing a mini part a version. Part b will be the
actual update.
GM: Will - I honestly don't recall you having a cabin or
pet even. I did scans of the character sheet and
don't see that info. Man. I must've missed something?
GM: Thanks for all those who voted fast. I think we are
still waiting on Arawn's and Raban's vote. Raban is
probably out of town so no rush there.
New Players: None: 2 Yes: 6 No: 0
So this means majority has been decided that folks don't
mind a open game. I'll do a post this weekend for
new players just once. For those two who haven't
voted you can still voice your vote though.
Return Method:
Option: 1 - 4, 2 - 0, 3 - 1, Any - 1, None - 2
The Any vote would go to the majority. The two
other votes could change things here. But looks
like most wish to teleport rather than by land.
IBT Time -
Option: 1 - 3, 2 - 0, 3 - 2, None - 2
No clear majority here yet.
Will play: Yes - 6 No - 0, Technically not voted - 2
Happy to see folks wish to still play. Makes me glad. :)
GM: Just some clarification on the teleport option. Chion
will need two teleports with the horses. Folks may be
tapped out by end of the combat so transmutes and oblivions
and other such tricks for the horses may not be good. We
just don't know how yet it will end up including myself.
This means Chion would have to take most of party to
Sivas to his pre-arranged teleport area at his home.
Then come back to get the horses and any other people
and gear. Who knows if you guys free Marentians or
a treasure trove then a third teleport might be needed.
It is about 1,200 miles to Sivas but about 1,800 miles
to Dark Lands. Either way it is 1 jump to Sivas and
2 to the Dark Lands. I know folks need to get to the
DL to debrief, get pets, check on things, etc. That
is understood. I was just figuring folks could return to
Sivas, leave their booty, horses and maybe heal if needed.
THEN teleport to the Zen'da plains to Chion's prearranged
circle and then to the DL. Otherwise Chion would have
to do 1 trip to DL with party, 1 back to Katai, 1 with
horses and gear back to DL. So three jumps where as
2 for Sivas. So it might just be a bit more efficient in
that way.
Actually it would break down as follows:
Teleport to Sivas then DL:
1 to Sivas, 1 to Katai pickup rest, 1 to Sivas: 3
Teleport from Sivas to DL
1 to Zen'da village, 1 to DL, 2 back to sivas: 4
Teleport to DL from Katai
1 to half way, 1 to dL, 1 back to halfway, 1 to
Katai to get rest, 1 back to half way, 1 to DL
then 1 to Zen'da, 1 to Sivas, 1 back to Zen'da and
1 to DL to get rest of folks then 1 to Zen'da and
1 to sivas. : 12
So going directly to dL is far more costly in jumps
due to load Chion would need to take and distance.
So its more efficient to dump folks and gear, horses
and such in Sivas then take one group up. See where
I'm getting this? Don't worry the trip to DL is
an assumed epilog to the adventure.
If need clarification let me know.
Vote link updated with some player comments as well.
