Speaking to Kiet, "a#$%^. Thanks for trying."
Looking sad that Rocky is still around, Kell ask Zylera, "Can you dispel Rocky for me, I'm exhausted. Then maybe a few bandages."
----
Votes:
CP: Yes
IBT: Yes. Kell would like some time to learn/grow skills and work on things.
Next Adventure: Of course. :)

Admin Notes: Can you smell the end?

[Recap]
From Fremea: [Re: CPs]
She will apply them to Will, Empathy first. Next raise her
Dex to 31, put the rest into Intelligence.
GM: Ack. Done and completed and sent to you the new sheet.
Congrats being the adventure CEP MVP! Such a small body
for such damage! Those multi arrows. :) May have to
decide on using the multiple enemy rule for that. It's
a old rule but I rarely use it.
from Kiet: [Re: Actions[
Kiet will cast the banish for Kell's pet rock
GM: Ack.
From Unali: [Re: Actions]
Unali to Chion and Arawn "Good plan. We must take Arawn ...
Unali want to use the offer from Chion to teleport and feels
Arawn is most suited to make contact with the brain.
If she makes the connection that there is an Outcast on a
flyer getting away, she guesses that the brain and portal
are his destination. As they get to the other side and she
entrusts Arawn with the talisman to command the Brain, she
will ready herself for the arrival of a cloaked flyer.
GM: Ack.
From Kell: [Re: actions]
Kell sighs in relief as Kiet agrees. "Thanks! I don't want
him deciding to crush us." Giving the acrobat a friendly pat
on back.
GM: Ack.
From Arawn: [Re: Actions]

[New Stuff]
[Augado 10th, 1634TH]
[Location: Middle Katai Plains]
[ Mountains west of Pamau]
[Time: 3:27:02pm - 2:27:17pm]
With the battle over it seems things have changed for the
better. In fact some even seem different as if the experience
gained through this quest changed them physically ad mentally.
Ben'dar for example looks stronger and he twirls his spear
in his hands as if more coordination. He also looks just
slightly even more controlled as if more will full. All the
properties around those changes also seem to change like his
physical well being and his expertise in skills.
Caladan leaning on his staff looks stronger, agile and
otherwise faster. He also looks a bit smarter and determined
overall. He also looks more powerful physically and mentally
as if transformed into a new person.
Raban smiling at Unali with the talisman seems to have grown
bigger and more powerful. It looks like the man could lift
another 50 pounds easily now. Being stronger of course makes
him even more dangerous. The scary part is Raban knows that he
can learn even more to hand to hand combat. He imagines himself
with lethal hands more so now.
Chino looks the same not changing at all it seems.
If the party makes it outside Strie'bog looks a bit smarter
but has changed little elsewise.
Fremea seems a bit more agile and able to weld her dagger
with more confidence. She also seems a bit smarter and stronger
in magical abilities.
Kiet is even different with a stronger looking body in terms
of conditioning now. He also seems a bit smarter looking having
learned from the experience.
Unali seems stronger looking as well as more physical
conditioned since the battle started. It is clear she
can handle just about anything with those daggers. As
she places the talisman in her palm she twirls her magical
dagger deftly like it flexing a finger. She also seems to
be aware that her skill in such dagger will also improve.
----------
[Time: 3:27:17pm - 2:27:32pm]
Z'leyra struggles against Will's lip embrace. This is
the second time she has fallen for that ploy. Back on
the flying castle island she was attacked in the same way.
Ben'dar had almost died in the final battle and used that
chance to get cop a feel and take liberty.
Z'leyra leans back on her haunches and ignores Will. She
glances behind her and notices Ben'dar is grinning a bit
too much. Z'leyra turns around and finishes to do first
aid check on Will. Finding him stable she turns her attention
to Raban and finds his major damage is the kidney damage.
He is bleeding bad but while most humans would be dead by
now his large frame might take much longer to shut down.
Raban rolls over so the Healer can check his back. He
watches the others and listens to Z'leyra carefully. The
Bard hears Unali talk about the brain but is too weak to
go and help the dagger maiden.
Farseeker watches the wizard who wanted Lin dead.
Lin looks around and considers his options at this time.
His friends must be outside somewhere if not already trying
to storm the place.
Unali's brother looks at the fleeing outcast on the strange
animal.
Unali to Chion and Arawn "Good plan. We must take Arawn along.
ARAWN, come quick. Let's hop over. This should control the brain.
You made most contact. I think it's your call."
Arawn watches the fleeing Outcast and glances over at
Fremea.
Arawn sensed the Outcast's hesitation, coming to the
conclusion that the Vong was not necessarily bad, but definitely
scared and overwhelmed. He dared not risk any more time calling
out down the chasm, turning quickly when he heard Unali's voice.
The warrior-assassin was a woman of few words and if she called
for him he knew it was likely something important.
Rushing into the cave he spotted Chion beside her along with an
odd looking device. Guessing at her plan he raced to join her,
taking her offer of the talisman in the process. "I'm ready."
As Arawn rushes back inside he hears Unali's brother say.
"Look there! A man in danger!"
At the stairs Fremea looks down far below to the area
the stranger is pointing. She wonders why this man is
not freaking about her form. Then the Fae notices a form
on top of a flyer. She reaches for her spyglass and spots
the man quickly. She can hear faint yelling over the whisk
of air blowing past her. The man seems to be wearing a leather
tunic and black pants. The man is holding onto a Flyer
antennae. Below him the air field is a blazing with the
fire of the creeping lava. It seems the ground has been
cracking and more pockets of lava is coming up. The hard
reinforced flyers are now cracking under the heat and damage.
The flyer the human is on is tilting and about to fall on
its left side which surely would send the man into the lava.
The right side is virtually crumbled and open so the man must
have been inside until this happened.
Unali's brother looks at the winged creature as if to ask
what to do now?
Back in the cave Kiet nods to Kell's request. He wonders
if he fails will the creature turn on him or Kell? Surely
Kell will be killed but he might flee in time. It isn't
how tough you are but who is fastest to run away.
Kell sighs in relief as Kiet agrees. "Thanks! I don't
want him deciding to crush us." Giving the acrobat a friendly
pat on back.
Chion sees Arawn run in and nods. "Aboard the express!"
Just a few years ago he had to touch folks, such creepy
way to teleport. Now he doesn't need that range. Just
to be in the general area. Chion nods to Unali and
Arawn and realizes that no one else will ride the express.
Chion casts the spell quickly and the three teleport to
the other side 1000 feet away onto the stairs to the
entrance of the brain cave.
Kiet casts the spell to banish the rock and waits and
waits. He shifts foot when he realizes the looming
creature is looking at him. At least with no eyes he
thinks he is being stared at. He clears his throat to
let Kell know the spell failed or he isn't trained for
this activity.
Kell turns away from watching Z'leyra with Raban and
sees Rocky still here. That is not good.
Will sits up feeling much better. He glances down
at his transmuted armor with the big hole in it. The
Vong must die. Then he looks over and sees him dead
and shrugs. He stands and looks around to see what
he has missed.
On the other side of the cavern the trio end up
about 30 feet to the threshold of the cave. They
immediately see the outcast laying on his back at
the threshold. It seems the field that blocks the
Brain must've knocked him or killed him. The animal
flying is on the ground a few feet away seemingly
dormant as well. The animal that made the outcast
invisible must've been knocked out or killed as well
revealing him.
Chion whirls around sensing something and pulls his
sai. At the railing the strange creature of energy
or fire, he still isn't sure what stands with his back
to the trio. Arawn turns and notices it seems to be
staring at the Kotothi portal. It turns and points
to Chion and to the cave. Chion glances at the
cave and sees his Gnarish still on the ground. He
must have lost it when he was damaged. Chion nods
and realizes that it can communicate with him that
way.
Meanwhile Arawn studies the cave as well and can
hear faint yelling from a male like voice below.
It sounds like it is way far below maybe on the
ground. He grips the talisman and walks toward
the threshold. The creature allowed the party
to pass through with no harm so it should allow
them to pass.
Unali goes to the railing and looks down. Far
below almost due south of them is the form of
a man on top of a flyer. But he is at least a few
hundred feet down below taking the stairs.
Actions? Comments?
Next Update...Monday...
GM: A good place to end. :) I did 15 seconds due to
the talking took more time. Still plenty to
react to. I will do as much as 30 seconds or
more if the talking is needed.
GM: Mana report renamed and placed in a "old mana" report.
I've cleared the info from the battles in the mountain
away and cleaned it up into a new report. This way
you can just keep track then until new adventure
website is placed.
Some new character sheets have been resent. You
should should review. Keep in mind items with
damage. I've posted such FV damage in the mana report
over the long run. Many sheets have items almost
broken or destroyed. Some like a simple dagger might
be just cheaper to buy new one since most folks are
rich enough. But for magical you'll need to fix those
or suffer the results later. These items are manly
the weapons/armor. You will see a FV-X item the -X
is how much has been removed.
GM: Right now we have a new player! He may show up later
or immediately. Never know who it might be? The
wizard? The 4 prisoners? The brain? Ok. Well maybe
not him as he'd need a BIG horse.
GM: Last time I placed a vote for IBT time. For those who
may be new or joining this is In-between Time. The
time between adventures. It is a way to relax, make
items, do side things needed to be done and the like.
A lot use it to learn a new skill or make magical items.
This reflects the time for one adventure to another
rather than immediate action. For role playing purposes.
I've done it as little as 2 weeks and as much as 3 months.
Will I do this for the next adventure. I honestly do not
know at this point. But in case the debriefing which
may tie into the next adventure demands immediate response
or not, I will take a vote. See below. Fremea will be
the leader next adventure so it really is largely based
on what she wants done after the debriefing. BUT in case
I work the adventure details (sadly I only have a outline
at this point) more which means time will allow it or not
is not determined yet. But in case I do allow it I'll listen
to your votes just in case. I know some want to make
items and some want to return to the Dark Lands for
example. So we shall see.
GM: Below you will find a quick set of notes on who has
completed character sheet updates (CPs) and who will
be in the next adventure. If they are retired they
will not be in the next adventure. Who knows they
could return for another adventure. Raban was going
to retire to chase girls. With John dead I figure it
would be good. But Tobie has requested him to return
for the next adventure so I will do so. Those who
leave will make things smaller and easier in some
regards. We could have potentially 2 new characters.
I will assume will play unless you stay otherwise
if your a active player.
The above is a general outline on character improvements.
You can read between the lines I believe. Imagine for
example Raban increasing his HtH max EL skill! This
means he will do far more damage! A simple slap with
his hand could do 17-23 damage on a tap. Scary not
including the new combat skill max ELs. Scary guy.
Most have already been completed and sheets have been
sent out. Seems quicker than has been in the past.
Some around 3 or 4 of you are now maxed out (those
that I've done) stat wise. Because of this I'm considering
some options. See below. I already do the rule that
any excess expertise goes to xEP.
GM: Votes needed :
1) CP excess changes
With Stats maxed the excess CEP/MEP get pooled. Some
might figure this fair and end there using what they have.
But with long term active players maybe a reward for simply
playing that long should be given? I have not outlined
all the rules on this but let's consider excess CPs or just
CEP/MEP can be used to buy stuff:
* Gold (Maybe per 100 its 10 gold? Dunno)
* Luck (Per X you can buy 1 Luck event (roll or action))
* Get out of trouble - Per X get 1 re-roll if things go bad
* Change multipliers option: See Alex's post on PNP List
* Etc, other stuff
So let's vote on this. You can decide on your future.
Vote for No change or Yes for new rules. There are 7
who are active who can vote. Farseeker will retire for
awhile so will not vote. This means it takes 4 votes to
make a majority. I will take votes till next adventure
officially starts or 1/1 to make things as a easy deadline.

Fremea None
