Fremea will quickly move to the controls and close the "ceiling," then she will get to the three humans. With a wink to them, she tells them to close their eyes and teleports them out to the forest area.

>             Back on the other side some 1000 feet away in the Brain Cave.
> 
>             The man who was rescued looks at Fremea, a very grateful look
>           on his face, extends his hand and says, "I owe you my life.  My
>           name is Malic.  Jordan Malic from Cerulean.  If you hadn't come

> 
>             To Fremea though it is a strange language.  She turns to stare
>           at the new man.  Unali tilts her head.  Arawn can hear the words
>           and understands him good enough but is too distracted to translate.
>           Chion isn't as fluent in Cerulean as Arawn though and does a rough
>           translation to the two females.  Instead of "rather" he translates
>           it as "probably."  But the gist is still there.
> 
>             Unali turns to Arawn to ask the Brain.  "What area to get away
>           from. How far is safe from the mountain if this explodes?"
> 
>             Arawn asks the question but before he even finishes the
>           though the Brain reacts.  He gives the answer word for word.
>           Though he isn't sure if it is the Brain speaking through him
>           forcing the words or he is consciously speaking the words.  There
>           is no time to think on that.  "The radiation will infect any
>           thing living in the cave the small caves and the big one. It
>           suggests to cover the ceiling to block it from the sky.  I
>           can not control the volcano at this point.  The process has
>           started.  I do not feel it will erupt majorally for any direct
>           period of time.  It may take weeks or days or hours.  I can
>           not detect what is below in the lava chambers to tell what
>           the pressure is there. Those around in the forest will be
>           safe from the radiation.  The walls are thick enough.  If
>           the volcano does erupt then it depends on how much at that
>           point if miles is needed to get away.  If I were to guess
>           the rate of lava now would suggest it will take 3.2 weeks
>           before any decent eruption of lava.  Another 2 months before

>           quite a bit."
> 
>             Unali nods and figures at least her homeland will be safe.
>           At least the Vong raided nearby villages for miles away.  So
>           the villages should be safe.  The forest though around here
>           might be destroyed.  Maybe Strie'bog can get his friends in
>           the forest to flee.  She keeps that in mind to tell him.  She
>           turns and grabs the Vong masker that cloaked the outcast.  She
>           stares to reach back to do a lurch as if to throw it over the
>           edge of the railing some distance away.
> 
>             "Stop!" Omini yells and steps forward away from Arawn.
> 
>             Unali turns to see what the issue is now.
> 
>             "If I am to be...set free to my world...I will have to avoid
>           the warriors.  They will surely kill me.  It is my only chance

>           A outcast caught with such a device would be certain death by
>           the warriors and shapers.  But if I return with no document
>           or person to escort me then it will be certain death.  At least
>           that mask gives me a chance."  Omini looks to Arawn to see if he
>           can plead his case to his comrade.
> 
>             Unali stops and considers the benefits of keeping it here or
>           destroying it by throwing it to the ground lava.
> 
>             Unali turns to Chion holding the Gnarish staff.  "Can you get
>           the others to Shantou, Baron Ka's estate? Don't forget Zhou and
>           company. And those two at the top of the stairs."
> 
>             Chion concentrates and asks the familiar watching the Kototh
>           portal how much time they have.  "If I see the piles of bones
>           slide I will try to close the portal.  Till then...I can
>           only sense.  No more than 5 of your minutes.  Time is different
>           through that portal.  It may have already been days there." The
>           creepy familiar speaks to Chion through the staff telepathically.
>           Then Chion turns to Unali.  "Max of 5 but it could be sooner if
>           things go bad.  I'll hurry.  I will come back for you two."
>           Then he realizes that Arawn can teleport as well.  "Actually,
>           Arawn you can take them to the horses in the forest?"
> 
>             Arawn tells Chion of what he saw below in the forest. "Get
>           everyone ready. Zhou and Strie'bog are in trouble by the forests
>           edge."
> 
>             Chion turns to Unali.  "Baron Ka? I thought he was helping the
>           Vong.  Do you mean your family place or should we just go back
>           to Sivas?  Sadly I will need to do multiple jumps maybe 3 or 4 just
>           to get all the horses and people."
> 
>             Chion considers dropping the Gnarish staff.  It is a strange
>           staff that lets others watch him.  That is annoying and he doesn't
>           like his privacy tampered with.  But then if the party has to flee
>           fast he may need to talk to the strange supernatural creature.
>           Walking past Arawn he taps his shoulder.  "Good luck."  Walking
>           past Unali he looks to Fremea.  "Can you fly to the ceiling control
>           over there and close the ceiling like Arawn suggested?"  He points
>           to the north wall where the balcony was they crossed and fought
>           the invisible Vong.  Fremea recalls where the control was and if
>           she recalls it was a simple device.  The "ceiling" is a animal
>           though and wonders if it dies from this radiation - whatever that
>           is - will the ceiling decay?  Chion then points to the extreme
>           right side of that balcony where they left the 3 free humans there.
>           "Can you also tell them to double it fast down here to the cave
>           so when I return I can pick them up?"
> 
>             With Fremea distracted Malic picks up the leather bag and pulls
>           out his trusty great sword.  He felt so naked without it.  Finding
>           the sheath he starts to put it on his belt.  But then Chion winks
>           and the scene changes again.  Malic and Chion are now back into
>           the Throne Room cave.  Malic confused by all this teleporting
>           notices the party all around  A large man and an assorted set of
>           fighters and other strange folks.
> 
>             Chion claps his hands to draw the attention to him. "Time to
>           leave.  The situation is being worked on but we have a new
>           threat.  Gather your stuff and gather around."  He begins to
>           do a count of heads.  He counts 12 people.  Two more than he
>           can get away with but that's an expensive spell just to leave
>           the mountain to go the forest.  He notices Raban down.  "Is he
>           dead?" Asking if he should be skipped.  Then he realizes that
>           Raban turns to smile at him.  "Ahh...Will can you teleport some
>           of them down?  I will teleport everyone down to the horses.  The
>           problem is we will need to do multiple jumps out of this area with
>           all the people and horses."
> 
>             Chion can feel him already tapped badly by the magic of the day.
>           He hopes he can get the party home with their horses at least. But
>           he knows Ben'dar would kill him without Tef'wo.
> 
>             Back in the Brain cave, Omini stares at the mask in Unali's hand.
> 
>             Unali ignores the strange outcast.  "Offer the Brain a choice.
>           Go back to his homeworld or die here. It has 10 seconds to decide."
> 
>             The flood of knowledge, the insight gained through the
>           connection to the Brain was something beyond what mere words
>           could describe and in another place, another time Arawn would
>           have loved to learn it all and travel to the countless worlds
>           that flashed in his mind but, sadly, he knew that this was not
>           to be. The portals needed to be sealed if both worlds, and
>           perhaps more, were to be saved and time was now almost up.
> 
>             In the back of his mind though he questions the ideas.  To
>           his upbringing there are only 3 worlds to the True World.  Some
>           consider the astral planes like the familiar nearby uses to be
>           only a pathway not a world.  Yes this implies there are more than
>           what the gods created.  There have been quiet rumors by those
>           in the various courts of the multiverse.  But the gods refuse
>           to comment on such nonsense.
> 
>             The Brain had agreed to let this world live and in the
>           process it offered a chance to save the Vong. Death at the
>           party's hands would have only saved the Middle World and the
>           Vong would be left to dark age which had fallen upon them but
>           the willing sacrifice of the Brain offered hope for change, for
>           healing, and the Alfar, though sad to see another creature die,
>           was glad for the hope this action offered to the Vong.
> 
>             Even though Arawn feels sad there is hope.  The Brain did say
>           they were all genetic made to remember.  He doesn't understand
>           the concept.  But this genetic memory seems to pass on from one
>           generation to the last.  He knows that animals do this  Strie'bog
>           tells of birds by instinct or maybe genetic memory find their
>           home after migration.  Plants also seem to learn from their previous
>           generation and grow in the best places not the worst.  So maybe
>           the part of the brain can still live to spread this hope to the
>           Vong.
> 
>             He looked with sad eyes upon the Brain and then to Omini before
>           turning back to Unali.
> 
>             "The Brain will help us and it knows time is short."
> 
>             He turned back to Omini and the Brain.  He motions for Omini
>          to grab the talisman.  As he does he watches Unali to ensure
>          the mask is not thrown away.  Then Omini feels the Brain contact
>          to him.
> 
>             "Jacen was wise and now so are you," he sent to the Brain.
>           "how this one," Arawn said, indicating Omini, "where to take
>           the portion and how to grow it. Then when you are whole teach
>           him, help him bring peace to your world."
> 
>             "Jacen Solo was a fool.  But he did give a strange victory to
>           the outcasts caste."  Omini simply thinks this and doesn't realize
>           that his thoughts are also relayed to Arawn.  "The enemy thought
>           he was a hero."
> 
>             Arawn wondered if there was any way to express his gratitude
>           but he felt that a simple 'thank you' would not suffice, if the
>           Brain understood. But then he thought of one thing, simple but
>           perhaps never experienced by the Brain before, and projected
>           all his thoughts of love and compassion for both the Brain and
>           Omini to experience, hoping it would be a gift they could
>           appreciate. With that done he stepped back to allow Omini to
>           take the portion of the Brain needed, helping him if possible.
> 
>             The Brain relays his plan to Omini.  The timid outcast gulps
>           and turns to face the Brain.  Arawn offers a sword but the Brain
>           counters.  A metal blade should not touch him.  Arawn realizes
>           it is the Vong's world to deny non natural sources like metal
>           and devices.  Omini is directed to a Coufee from one of the dead
>           warriors.  Omini approaches and is reluctant to act.
> 
>             "Now, please, shut down the gravity-generator," he said. "And
>           we will seal the other gate as well."
> 
>             The Brain turns its attention to the starfish shaped creature
>           out in the forest some 3 miles away.  It is in a open field.
>           The gray and black creature is huge that is with one "arm" going
>           about 15 feet long.  The center area is another 10 feet or so making
>           the creature at least 40-50 feet wide.  The creature has 5 arms
>           and below Arawn can sense the fleshy part where it can take in
>           nutrients from the ground.  On top the implanted Dovin well allows
>           it to pull the moon or other things down.  The Brain orders the
>           creature to sleep.  It then shows where the location of the creature
>           is for the Katai military to kill.  It warns that it is tough to
>           kill and the best way is through salt.  This was discovered on
>           a world where a large salt plain was.  The creature was eaten
>           as if by acid by the salt.  Otherwise it would take a long time
>           to hack the creature.  The salt should be used under the center
>           area fleshy area and to avoid the Dovin on top or they would
>           perish.  Arawn makes a mental note to let Captain Lin know
>           assuming he doesn't arrest the party.
> 
>             Arawn urges Omini forward.  Omini hesitates but the Brain seems to
>           sense problem and commands his tentacles near the outcast to stop.
>           This in itself is a huge task as it is mostly by reflex.  Omini
>           looks back and Arawn gives a nod.  "Why can't he do this?" Omini
>           thinks to himself.  Closing his eyes he steps forward now within

>           the Brain.
> 
>             Arawn says stop which makes Omini jerk back in shock and in relief.
>           He looks back to the Alfar.  Arawn through mental directions goes to
>           find a broken water barrel.  He finds that is 90% smashed but it now
>           somewhat flat but with ledges.  He then grabs his waterskin and pours

> 
>             Arawn gives direction on where to slice as the best part of the

> 
>             Arawn guides Omini to place the segmented brain section onto the

>                  Mountain directly to Sivas, Marentia   - 960 miles
> 
>                  In fact Sivas is due west of the mountain so to

>                     To Shantou  -  EL 8
>                     To Sivas    -  EL10

>                  Unali once outside the mountain in the forest do you

>                  due west right to Sivas?  For Chion it would take
>                  8 trips with everyone  Will could help if he so wishes.
>                  In order to say transmute the horses like before it
>                  would need a new day (due to exhausted magic).  If
>                  this is the case the below timeline for IBT will be
>                  upped 1 day.  Chion can take 1 group to Sivas and back
>                  but not to Sivas.  Actually Arawn isn't a far leaper.
>                  He can only do 76 miles or so at any one time  So he
>                  is out.  Z'leyra could do 1 trip to Sivas and back to
>                  the mountain then tapped out.  So that's 3 can go back
>                  to Sivas now.  But sadly that leaves the horses.
>                  So I think I already have the answer.  All can return
>                  but the horses would not today.  So Unali want to
>                  just go to your family grounds and rest till midnight
>                  when new with mana? Though to do that.  So to go from
>                  Mountain to Shantou would be 14 mana I believe.  That
>                  means Chion could do that 2 Trips to take a group of 20.
>                  Will could do that in 1 jump to take another 10 to the
>                  city.  Wow.  This is more complicated than I thought.
>                  Just too exhausted everyone.  Arawn could take 5 in 2 jumps
>                  to the city.  Leaving if I get the estimate 5 left.  Z'leyra
>                  could take 3 of those but would take 12 jumps and not
>                  enough energy for that.  So based on this hard confusing
>                  math I don't think the party can't escape!  The party
>                  is captured and slaughtered!  Ok.  End of the game. :)
> 
>                  So I guess the only recourse is to move west with the
>                  horses.  Camp out.  You'd have 2-3 hours of daylight.
>                  You could at least 5 miles from the mountain and the
>                  military.  So Unali let me know what you want to do.
>                  Camp and teleport in the morning back to Sivas  Or
>                  try some complicated sequence to get everyone back
>                  today.  Unali I know you may want to say good bye to
>                  folks so if you want Chion could take you and your
>                  brother to your family grounds.  The others could
>                  camp out.  Let me know what you want to do.  Based
>                  on the above the timeline for the IBT will be as stated
>                  below or +1 day.
> 
>           GM: Happy New Year to everyone!
> 
>           GM: Clarification on IBT time:
>               It was 6 weeks.  I know some folks were wanting more but
>               I just am not sure how long travel time will go.  Who knows
>               Will, Z'leyra or Arawn could teleport the party to Donara
>               without no travel time.  But if not then would have to
>               go by land or sea.  That alone will be a additional mini IBT
>               for that period.  Think when we did Clima some decade ago
>               it took the party 3-4 weeks by sea but I could be wrong.
>               We shall see once the adventure starts.  But basically
>               plan on a solid 6 weeks for now.  Just a reminder I would
>               prefer IBT done in the format in the document (see site).
>               But as a reminder:
> 
>               Use this timeline for your info:
> 
>               Augado (August) 10 - Return that night to Sivas, Marentia
>               Augado 10th - Night debriefing in Sivas Inn (upcoming)
> 
>               Augado             11-31 - IBT time period [21 days]
>               Sepes [September]  1-24 - IBT time period [24 days]
> 
>               So use the dates above OR just say day 1, 2, etc.
>               ALSO do not forget if you do not want the info posted on
>               what you did you must tell me in the email or for a certain
>               set of dates. Otherwise I'll do a summary of your ibt
>               not specifically but a generic view.  Some may recall
>               how I've done this in the past.
> 
>               So use 6 weeks.  If you travel away from Sivas you should
>               plan time to return if you go to Dark Lands or another place.
>               If you are going by ship or horse plan that time.  If you do
>               not know how long this will take ask and I can configure it
>               based on normal speeds.  If your lucky to use the Express (Ie
>               Chion or a teleporter) then you will need to ensure that he
>               or the person picks you up.
> 
>               Most characters have skills you could learn from.  If you
>               want to be taught you will need to get with that person
>               to schedule those dates in conjunction.  (if taught get
>               2 points per day so can figure out how many points needed
>               to learn the skill).
> 
>           GM: Game Site errors:
>               Thanks to John there were rumors of a bad set of links
>               on the site (the dwarves!)  IN fact all but 2 were case
>               sensitive.  So Ps.txt file should have been ps.txt or a
>               .zip should not have been .ZIP.  Ftp sites are funky
>               that way and I gotta check on these things.  But I do
>               not upload the files till just before bed so rarely check
>               them so you guys need to check on links.  All are fixed
>               now.  I had to remove 2 links one on the Lake Oca Zip
>               archive which had info on what happened at Oca from last
>               adventure.  The other was trip.txt which was the summary
>               of the Ship travel stuff.  Both not needed.  I actually
>               lost those files and not on the site.  So not sure
>               if they were deleted awhile back.  But all links are back
>               in order and tested.  Top and bottom.  The middle posts
