      [Recap]

         Posts From Kiet: [Re: Actions]
           Unfortunately, Kiet didn't think about it being a mostly
           physical adventure...he should have brought his javelins...
           That would have helped his CEL.

           Should he run low on mana he will look around for such
           javelins...I'm sure there are TONS around (big grin)

           ----
           Kiet's whole plan is to chuck ropes and entangle them coming
           down the stairs...if it works and they trip, awesome...they'll
           possibly take damage, hinder their own side, and then be easier
           to kill.

           Kiet's just trying to protect his follish friend
         GM: Ack. Ahh.  I just checked who has javelins.  You're it.
             BUT I see there is a * by the 7 Javelins that are on the
             draft horse.  But below I have a note 3 Javelins.  So
             it seems YOU took 3 with you inside the mountain.  Unless
             I'm missing something?  So unless you forgot them in the
             woods and I forgot you should still have them? :)  Just
             re-read the second post.  No mention of magic. Doh!
             That means you could just use non magic methods to trip.

         Posts From Will: [Re: Actions]
           Yea... I don't want to press my luck to far.
           -----

           So there is a chance Will might wake up?  If he does then he
           might just try filying agrian.  Now as recall you don't have
           to keep flying till you crash so Will will try to fly past the
           Vong slash at a couple of them on the way and land on the
           stairs above them taunt them to see if he can get some of
           them to charge up the stairs and to attack him.

           So if he wakes up:  invs.  Flight both el 0 slash land on the
           stairs above them and out of sight yell at them bang my sword
           on my shield etc and either way (if they chase me or not) el
           0 flight again slash at them from the side of the stairs land
           up the stairs repete.

           If he does not wake up well oh well.

           Do you get any points for crashing? He should be getting pretty
           good at it.
           -----

           Forgote the list

           On second thought maybe I should limit myself to one flight
           spell. Slash at a couple of Vong land above them on the
           stairway and tiptoe down invisible and attack the last one
           in line.  He'll be using sword and shield for this audacious
           and multifaceted attack.

           If he wakes up.

           -----
           Yea... I don't want to press my luck to far.
           -----

           I'm not sure after looking at the map again how far I need
           to fly so it may need to be an el 1 flight spell.  I want
           to be able to land on the stairs above them but not waste a
           lot of mana doing so.
         GM: Ack.

      [New Stuff]

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

          [Time: 2:28:07 pm]

            Fremea repositions herself for the last firing solution
          on the last 2 Vong on the stairs before they get to the
          ground.  She aims at the one that has been badly wounded
          already hoping to kill him.  She fires at him but only
          one arrow escapes the bowstring so she realizes the archery
          spell has ended.  But the arrow flies swiftly hitting the
          Vong warrior in the right cheek doing the last 2 points to
          kill the Vong.

            Raban leaves Arawn to inspect the Brigader and exits the
          home.  He sees Captain Lin to the west at the next home
          standing there.  He runs that way and finds it empty.  He
          places a hand on Lin's shoulder in grim determination to
          not see him hurt.

            Farseeker feeling naked with no chainmail, turns to
          face Chion.  "Heal me fast!"  He watches what must be
          a small group of Vong on the stairs.  But with them hidden
          behind the wall its hard to determine their numbers.

            Chion gives a sly grin at the burly warrior and reaches
          down to the cloth and water skin to clean Farseeker's main
          wound on his lower abdomen.  He seems to be doing fine
          aside from that main wound but its best to treat it in
          a quick field dressing manner.

            Ben'dar grits his teeth as the Shaman-Healer treats his
          very badly damaged leg.  He can almost feel the bone wanting
          to split into two and feel his body fading from the blood
          loss.  He lays his shoulder and heads down to let her do her job.

            Arawn finding the Brigader dead stands and also rushes out of
          the Vong home before any others are killed that might be useful.

            Kell glances up and sees something fly but isn't sure what it
          is on the second floor above him.  Maybe it was a dagger or
          arrow but he can't tell.  But he waits for the Vong warriors to
          descend the last series of steps.

            Lin gets the hint that Raban would rather go first and looks
          back to see if the one invisible person is coming up but doesn't
          notice anything.

            The last Vong warrior of the 11 watches his comrade die from
          the arrow to his cheek.  The one firing fire seems to have stopped.
          IT is either to stay here be pelted by arrows or hit by fire or
          those strange hoo-mans could come up and kill him.  He doesn't
          know the Shaper is dead but he knows if he doesn't act she will
          kill him herself.  He must protect what is upstairs at all
          costs.  Knowing he isn't hurt he might be able to take out
          a couple of them.  He raises his amphistaff and charges down
          the two flights of steps down to the ground slab and rushes off
          the stairs onto the dirt ground.  He sees Caladan, Chion and
          Farseeker.  Another one is lying on the ground.  Maybe he could
          kill the one on the ground? But he rushes toward Caladan hoping
          to find honor in a live duel than killing some sleeping fool.
          The warrior stabs upward hitting the Zen'da magician in the
          upper right chest doing 5 points.  The already wounded Caladan
          immediately falls to the ground from the damage.

            Inside the home Z'leyra continues to clean the wound and applying
          a quick wrap to stop the bleeding.  It will be not as good as
          healing though as he could still die from blood loss even what
          remains.  But the main artery can be at least stopped or pushed
          back in bloodletting.

            Kiet yanks the rope that he had on the stairs that the Vong
          seemed to bypass and looks over at Kell for action.



                             ------------------

          [Time: 2:28:10 pm]

            Suddenly a rumble is heard all around followed by a vibration
          that demonstrates to the powers of earthquakes.  Somewhere either
          around the area or below their feet the party feels the entire
          small mountain shake and vibrate.  Those inside the homes can feel
          the entire place shudder s if on water.  Those on the ground can
          feel the dirt ground shake and slide under their feet as if a
          jolt of energy bursts from some unseen force.  Those who may
          see the cave wall like Kiet notice rocks and debris fall down the
          surface of the wall to the ground.  By large disaster standards
          this is a tiny earthquake.  If one were to make a scale for such
          things like in Ticasi schools they might say it was a 3 or 4 out
          of 10.  But the epicenter seemed far below or so the party hopes
          so.  If the volcano below them gets active again it could add to
          more issues.

            Deep below some 200 feet or so, Zhou grabs a child from slipping
          from falling into the volcanic tube below.  Almost 30 minutes ago
          the party had crossed the same place to enter the place.  But now
          the earthen link that serves as bridge above the very hot and
          bright lava has shaken like a bull.  Zhou panics but realizes that
          the kid who must be only 7-8 will fall if he doesn't act.  He roll
          onto his back holding the girl to his chest hoping the bridge doesn't
          fall.

            Fremea notices the warrior climb down and doesn't realize the
          earthquake is even going on.  Then she notices the others below
          rocking back and forth and sees the pebbles fall to the ground
          along the rock wall.  She uses that chance to judge the entire
          cave for any other structure damage.  She can see a small bit of
          blur from the other side of the cavern 1000 feet away shake but
          it is very hard to tell at this distance.  She is amazed to see
          the stairs here and there seem to remain in place.  The Shapers
          must've made it some how to stabilize from ground quakes.

            Raban's large tree trunk like legs seem to handle the quake.  As
          quickly as it comes the quake ends about 2 seconds later. Unfazed
          by the shaking he runs to the next home (C9).  Opening he finds
          three Brigaders keeling and one trying to stand on shaken legs.
          Raban realizes they must've tried to escape the home but their
          legs failed them.  For the two kneeling down he uses his large
          arms to grasp both of their heads.  With each head in his hands
          he pulls them together and making their heads smash abruptly
          against each other.  Skulls crack and one nose is instantly
          broken.  But the impact of the slammed heads is enough to kill
          both of them before they even realize what is going on.

            Back on the other side of the field in the east Farseeker
          sees Caladan fall.  He isn't sure if he is dead or just knocked
          out.  But the man doesn't want him killed or Will.  Even if the
          woodsman seems a bit odd.  he rushes forward pulling his great
          sword out again and impales the Vong in the middle left abdomen
          doing 6 points.

            Chion with waterskin and cloth finds his patient suddenly leave
          him and shrugs.  Placing the cloth and waterskin on his belt he
          draws his sai and moves forward ready to attack.

            Arawn rushes forward to see what Raban is attacking now.  He
          finds two Brigaders with bloody heads.  Inwardly he sighs at the
          giant's rushed actions.  But there is one still standing.  This
          one is not some important one but dressed like any other guard
          in the Brigader force.  He tries to swing his blade for a subdual
          attack but the man still shaken is able to miss the blade by
          weaving to the left.

            Kell runs from behind the back side of the stairs and charges
          toward the last Vong.  Raising his magical spear he stabs the
          warrior in the middle left back doing 14 points of damage.

            Lin rushes forward to help the others.  He doesn't see Arawn
          and his left hip slams into Arawn.  The Katai military man grunts
          in frustration but continues on to stab the last Brigader in the
          right ribs doing 6 points of damage.

            The wounded Vong growls in pain but is determined to take
          the enemy out before they take him down.  he thrusts at Farseeker
          impaling him in the left ribs doing 9 points of damage.  With
          no chainmail he takes the full brunt of the damage.  The burly
          warrior looks down to his ribs and collapses to his knees and
          then rolls onto the ground.  The Vong excited by taking two enemy
          down turns to the bulk that is Chion.

            Z'leyra finishes up the cleaning of Ben'dar's leg and does
          one final check before she needs to cast her healing magic.

            Kiet grimaces at seeing Farseeker fall.  If he can fail that
          means the group could all die.  he grumbles that they didn't
          hear his warning to rest.  He leaves the cover of the stairs
          and rushes to join Kell ready to toss his rope.



                             ------------------

          [Time: 2:28:13 pm]

            Z'leyra places her right hand on Ben'dar's wounded leg and the
          other on his chest.  Speaking the magical words she casts the
          healing spell boosted by her healing treatment.  Green magical
          energy wraps itself around his leg a few times and tissue begins
          to mend and reform to a new texture.  She then figures about 2/3rd
          of his wounds are healed.

            Fremea looks down to notice Farseeker is now on the ground.
          Now the Vong faces Chion and Kell.  She flies forward to try
          to get a better position to fire on the Vong warrior.

            Raban turns to face the wounded Brigader just hurt by Lin
          and punches him in the chest.  The man takes the final couple
          of points needed to kill him.

            Chion walks to the Vong warrior and does a quick round house
          kick to knock the warrior back.  As he spins he swipes the warrior
          in the mid chest with his magical sai doing three times the amount
          of damage to kill him.  The Vong falls to the ground dead.  Chion
          looks disgusted by the new wound in Chion.  Now he'll have to
          start over cleaning him.

            Arawn looks over at the other two Brigaders.  Based on the
          impression on their skulls they have to be dead.  But notices
          one in his 40s wearing a nicer uniform. Most of the Brigaders
          are in their 20s but this one must've been some officer.  But
          the looks of his skull suggests any info is mushed out of him now.

            Ben'dar sits up and examines his leg.  He smiles and nods.
          "Again?"  He asks for another treatment to make him perfect.
          He knows he has probably the best constitution in the party
          so could probably take 4-5 treatments.  But then again he is only
          a horseman so is ignorant to the risks.

            Kell kneels down to check Farseeker.  He nods to Chion that
          he is just knocked out but barely alive.  He then checks the pulse
          of Caladan and finds his in the same condition.  At least they
          are not dead for now.

            Lin turns to face the final row of homes in the north.  If they
          can clear them they can get upstairs.  He doesn't realize why they
          didn't do that now.  By now they could be shoring up their defenses.
          These people don't seem to have any tactical sense.  He runs
          northward.

            Kiet ensures the Vong is dead by kicking him once for measure.

            Deep below Zhou releases the death grip on the child in his
          arms and realizes the shaking is done.  He notices Strie'bog
          is trying to get past others to help him but the child's dad
          is also trying to reach for him.  Strie'bog and his dad reach
          the child and pull him forward.  Zhou grunts and rolls to the
          side to check the lava.  Down below the boiling orange and
          red lava is about 100 feet below.  But it seems a bit higher
          than last time.  He isn't sure it is his imagination or something
          else.


                             ------------------

          [Time: 2:28:16 pm]


            Z'leyra realizes the Zen'dan warrior is strong and could likely
          survive the healing.  But she does a quick assessment of the
          chances.  There is low risk she figures and so decides to just
          cast a low level healing spell.  Doing so she completes the
          healing of his wounds and now he is back to full health.

            Fremea lands to inspect the party members on the ground.  Now
          there are three.  She notices Kell doesn't seem so worried about
          their condition at this point to need immediate healing.  So
          they must just be knocked out.  She considers going to find Arawn
          or Z'leyra.  She doesn't think Chion could do a full job.

            Raban leaves the home and runs after Lin to the last row of
          homes in the north.

            Chion kneels down to check out Farseeker's new wound.  It is
          deep but able to live.  He glances over at Caladan to see his
          wound but his is light compared to Farseeker's.  He looks up
          to Fremea and then Kell.

            Ben'dar gets to his feet and bounces on his leg to test it.
          He smiles down to the healer and grins eager to kill more Vong.

            Z'leyra nods inwardly knowing the man is eager to fight even
          after he just almost died.  Sometimes she wonders if the
          men will ever learn.  She begins to pack up her materials.

            Kiet sees Will being ignored by the others and knows the group
          needs men.  If the Vong are on their way down to the ground they
          could all die.  He kneels down and begins to tap Will's face to
          wake him up.

            Blackness and silence.  It seems to go on forever.  Then
          a shimmer of hope.  A thin break of light flickers in the
          distance.  Will's mind grabs for it and rushes toward it.
          As his mind runs or flies or crawls what it seems to do, it
          seems to take years. He feels like he is falling again but
          also flying upward at the same time.  What seems like years
          takes milliseconds and his mind reaches the light.  His mind
          opens up and he is flooded with sensations.  His brain seems
          to reboot and try to catch up.


                             ------------------

          [Time: 2:28:19 pm]

            Fremea realizes that a good healing is needed.  While she
          can trust Chion to do it for light wounds surely he can't
          do as good as Arawn's druid magic or Z'leyra's shamanic
          healing.  She flies quickly as fast as she can toward the
          west to find Arawn or Z'leyra.

            Raban continues running northward.

            Chion begins to retreat Farseeker's wounds.

            Ben'dar opens the door to the home waiting for Z'leyra to
          finish up.  He peers outside and looks west.  He knows he
          has one more home and then four more south of them.  Maybe
          there might be another 20 Vong to kill!

            Arawn runs after Raban and hopes more important Brigaders
          are not killed.

            Kell begins to stop the bleeding from Caladan's own wounds.

            Lin runs forward making a bit more distance beyond Raban.

            Z'leyra finishes up her quick packing of her satchel and
          stands ready to leave this home.

            Kiet continues to tap Will's face a bit more harder this time.
          After all he is a woodsman he loves the rough nature and all
          that stuff.  A slap on the face shouldn't be too much for him.

            Will's mind recalls the last few things in his short term
          memory.  Something about a fall from 30 or so feet up.  Him
          hitting the ground like a rock with his heavy armor making him
          more a crater than expected.  Why does his mind register tiny
          hands running up and down his body?  Then he realizes the
          most pressing business at hand.  The giant headache that
          demonstrates that his nervous system is still working.  He
          groans and that startles Kiet a moment.  Will tries to open
          his eyes and blinks.  He raises his hand to his forehead and
          wonders if Raban tackled him for fun?




                             ------------------

          [Time: 2:28:22 pm]

            Fremea continues westward.  As she flies she turns to face upward.
          She glances toward the stairs to see if there are more Vong coming
          down.  But doesn't see any for at least a couple hundred of the
          stairs.  The top portion she can't read.  Flying upside down she
          turns over and continues flying normally.

            Raban continues to runs northward.

            Chion watches and points to Kell out best techniques on how
          to stop the bleeding.  As he gives tips to Kell he continues
          to work on Farseeker.

            Ben'dar eager to test his newly healed body leaves the home.
          He forgets to grab Z'leyra and is now visible to everyone. He
          runs toward the next home (H11) and opens it.  He frowns when
          he finds no one there.

            Arawn continues to run to the north.  As he does he glances
          eastward to the portal he saw earlier.  It seems to still be
          there and he guesses to be the same condition and shape as before.
          The earthquake must not have done anything to it.

            Kell repositions himself so he can watch the stairs without
          his back to them.  He opens the shirt of Caladan and tries to
          inspect under his quilted and leather armor for damage.

            Lin continues northward as well reaching about 10 feet to the
          first home in the row.

            Z'leyra shoulders her satchel and runs after Ben'dar.  She
          notices the warrior not move so figures the place to be empty.

            Kiet stands up and watches Will.  He stands nearby in case he
          needs help.

            Will looks up to see the acrobat over him.  He glances over
          to see the stairs.  Raising one eyebrow he wonders how he got
          here as he was over there by the tower.  He sits up and is
          a bit groggy but looks around.  He sees Chion over Farseeker
          and Kell over Caladan.



                             ------------------

          [Time: 2:28:25 pm]

            Fremea continues flying westward.  As she does she scans the
          flyer field to ensure no one is around but finds it desolate.

            Squirt jumps to the ground from Kell's shoulder and scampers
          over to Caladan's hip.  He lowers his head down a bit sad looking
          at the downed Zen'da magic user.  The little beast did like the
          man who helped him a few times.

            Raban runs further northward glancing over at the tower he helped
          to destroy.  Looking eastward he checks to see if any one is
          else down the aisle of homes.

            Chion looks to Kell, "should I heal them?"

            Ben'dar looks west to see the home destroyed by the fallen
          flyer from Raban.  Clearly it doesn't need to be searched. So
          he runs south west toward the first homes in the last row of
          homes.

            Arawn continues running to catch up to the giant.

            Kell looks to Chion and considers the question.  Like the
          others the large man is a mystery.  Does he have the skill to
          heal the two men completely?

            Lin reaches the door of the home (B9) and opens it.  He finds
          it dark and empty.

            Z'leyra tries to catch up with the visible barbarian.

            Kiet decides no one is watching the stairs closely so decides
          to watch it from this point of view.  he can see maybe 100 or
          120 feet of stairs.  Anything above that would need a better angle.
          But at least it should give him time to warn the others.

            Will stands up and checks his body.  Most of his wounds are gone
          but it seems a light one still remains.  His transmuted armor is
          still there.  But he is missing his bow.  Glancing to the south
          he notices a object that might be his bow there.



                             ------------------

          [Time: 2:28:28 pm]

            Fremea continues to fly westward.  she squints to see what
          might be Raban near the north end of the field.  Another form
          in the south end but looks like only a human.  Can't tell
          distinct features yet.

            Raban runs to the next home in line (B11).  Opening the door
          he finds two Vong warriors look to be in some sparring session.
          Another Vong is on the ground watching them.  All three to see
          the giant.  The bard punches the one nearest to him in the
          right arm breaking his arm in half.  The bone, tissue and
          blood spurt out in every directions.  Before the Vong cold even
          scream the shock to his system and massive damage kill him.

            Ben'dar runs southward toward the home.  He then realizes the
          tower there has been destroyed.  Maybe the others did something
          to it earlier.

            Arawn turns noticing the home in front of him empty and goes
          to join Raban.  There he notices two Vong and one looks like he
          is sleeping.  Coming forward he swings his blade at the other
          one standing up.   Arawn's magical sword impales the warrior
          on his right center ribs doing 27 points of massive damage.

            Kell finds that Caladan isn't much of a problem bleeding
          as the Half Elf is able to stop the flow.  He looks to the
          dead Vong and wonders why a single Vong would dare come after
          them?  You'd think a force would come down.  The fools must
          be running low on reinforcements.

            Lin rushes to help Raban.  This time he is wary of where
          the invisible person might be.  Based on the sudden blood
          in front of one Vong he must be there.  So he steps to the
          side of that area and tries to swing at the one Vong sitting
          down.  But the sword goes wild and the Vong rolls away from
          the attack easily.

            Z'leyra continues to move toward the south to try to catch
          up with Ben'dar.

            The two Vong react in the home.  The one severely damaged
          tries to swing at Arawn and hits him in the left lower chest
          but his magical armor protects him.  The other Vong sitting
          watching the duel before the enemy showed up, climbs to his
          feet.  He lunges for Raban and the amphistaff snipes at
          the giant in the left ribs but his magical armor protects him
          as well.

            Kiet goes over to the dead Vong while he watches the stairs.
          He kneels down to inspect the remains.  They look the same and
          their leather and armor seems the same.  He tries to pinpoint
          the best places to deal with them but not much has changed since
          he last inspected them  at the carnival grounds.

            Will makes sure all his gear is secure and ready for battle.
          His quiver is still intact and he is surprised no arrows
          are missing or at least doesn't seem to be much missing.



                             ------------------

          [Time: 2:28:31 pm]

            Fremea continues to fly westward.  She notices one form on
          the stairs probably 200-250 feet up.  The gray skull tracks
          it as Vong.  But she can't tell if Shaper or Warrior at this
          distance some 800 odd feet away.  It seems to be looking down
          and below or maybe out.  All she can see is the gray form of
          a shadow in the dim light of the stairs.  But she keeps it in
          mind just in case.

            Raban turns to the one Vong just badly wounded by Arawn.
          The giant slaps him in the shoulder dropping the Vong to the
          ground. The poor warrior only needed minor damage (1 point)
          to kill him and the light tap does just that.

            Chion finally stops the bleeding of Farseeker's new wound.
          He grabs his waterskin for some cleaning treatment.  It is
          the best with what he has here.

            Ben'dar gets to about 20 feet of the first home for him to
          check out.

            Arawn turns his attention to the last Vong alive the one just
          standing to attack Raban.  With his left side to the druid
          he uses the chance to stab his magical sword into his side ribs.
          The damage is 24 points and wounds him badly.

            Kell does a mental list of where is everyone else.  He knows
          Z'leyra and Ben'dar went west.  He believes he saw Arawn
          come this way then turn around.  Raban and Lin seems to have
          gone that way as well.  But where is Unali?  It is unlike her
          to be missing.

            Lin thrusts at the right arm of the last Vong doing 3
          more points. Now the warrior is near death (1 point left).

            The weakened warrior flexes his good arm and makes the
          amphistaff into a live snake form.  The snake flails out
          to bite Raban but his armor protects from the snake's
          poisoned bite.

            Z'leyra ends up still behind Ben'dar about 40 feet.  Means
          he will get to the home first.  She knows he can fight back
          but if overwhelmed it could be bad.

            Kiet looks to Will to see if he is back in good shape.

            Will looks around to see what has happened since he was
          hit by the nasty ground coming up to him.  He knows its
          not the fall that kills you but the sudden stop that does.
          He notices the tower nearby is also devoid of life.  Turning
          to the west he can see what used to be two towers are now
          gone?


                             ------------------

          [Time: 2:28:34 pm]

            Fremea flies westward again ending up about 60 feet
          from the rabbit hole to the below ground.  Now about
          halfway to her destination.

            Raban is impressed by Arawn's sudden skill at killing.
          Wounding two warriors badly.  He tries to grab with one
          free hand the Vong but the warrior ducks and weaves away.

            Chion considers a new healing spells for the two men
          at his knees.  But he knows he might do massive healing.
          But he also knows the two men will be needed for the
          final battles above.

            Ben'dar grins at the new home and hopefully more targets
          to kill (I9).  Opening the door he finds only 1 Vong with
          his back to him!  Ben'dar raises his spear and stabs him
          in the left rear ribs doing a massive 24 points blow.

            Arawn tries to kill the last Vong but his scimitar barely
          scraps by the warrior's spiked right shoulder.

            Kell finishes up his work and sits back to let Chion
          finishing up his first aid.  He scans the ladder but still
          does not see any Vong running down.

            Lin lunges forward with his sword dipping just under the
          warrior's arm pit and also forcing him to slip forward into
          the arms of the warrior almost falling into him.

            The Vong pushes Lin backward with a shove and tries to
          swipe at the giant but fails to hit him in his wounded state.

            Z'leyra runs toward the home Ben'dar ended up and gets to within
          about 10 feet of it.

            Will turns back to the stairs to consider his next move.

          [Time: 2:28:37 pm - Current/Next phase]

         Actions? Comments?

          Next Update....Monday...

          GM: Ran out of time for Monday so this will be 2 updates in
              one.  So I did 10 phases (30 seconds).  This will cover
              for Friday.  Combat on the ground floor is almost over
              with just the top and bottom rows to explore (B and I).
              Need to update the mana/health report.  That will be done
              tomorrow (Wed. 5/2 late evening). So check around that time.
              The info may influence actions in terms of health status
              on some of the character changes.

          GM: Situation Report -

              Arawn - Nice couple of rolls there.  Will check for
                blade damage later. :)

              Caladan - Knocked out.
              Farseeker - Knocked out.

              Fremea - Glad we chatted so you will fly on.  Will take
                maybe another 30 seconds or so to get to person.  But
                we shall see.  Got another 300 or so feet before might
                find a person.  Based on who might be where I'll move
                you south or north. If Ben'dar is invisible then will
                move north as Raban is a bit hard to miss.

              Kell - Didn't want to speak for you.  But not much
                you could do this update.  So gave you some busy work. :)

              Kiet - Same as Kell.  But figure you are one of the
                smart ones to remain alert so kept an eye on the
                stairs for new bad guys.

              Will - Awake!  There was no need to do the flight and all
                that.  I figure you would want to stay and protect the
                others.  If not sorry.  As a group you can go upstairs
                as a whole.

             Note: When a coordinate is given it might say H8.30.  The
             first letter is the coordinate row and second is column.
             If the scale is large I will use a .XX to denote distance
             between that row and next (in this case Lin for example
             is 30 feet heading north to row G).  This way I know where
             folks are exactly.

          The caves starting 300' from this level are mid way or so
          on the wall along the ladder structures for entry.

          K - Kell/Kiet
          C - Caladan/Farseeker/Chion/Will
          F - Fremea
