[Kell didn't know Damon, that was meant as an introduction.  Or so it appears...]
 
Ha'Kell is obviously antsy, ready to get going and visit someplace new. His Donaran is really bad since he hasn't been there, only learned it from another caravan guard years ago. He starts practicing it with the group to improve his fluency.
 
His gear is fairly light, mainly being the clothing and armor on his back, a few bags and pouches, his ebony shield, 3 spears and tulwar.  The same floppy hat is stuck on his head that those in Kiama's Citadel noticed the day he was introduced to the party.  The cloak is also the same cloak with the dark edges, slightly more worn.  Only his boots are new.
 
Squirt seems anxious sitting on his shoulder, munching a bit of jerky.  The cuddly critter has developed a taste for jerky over the past few years.  Kell reaches up and scratches Squirt's head.

     [New Stuff]

         [Sepes 28th, 1634TH]
         [Location: Sivas, Marentia - Cholan's Tavern]
         [Time: 7:18am]

           Kell watches Damon leave after greeting him warmly.  It
         is good that folks do live long after they quest in this
         group.

           After finishing his drink listening to the High Elder baffle
         everyone, Kell quips, "Halves that make one, genius." his bad
         attempt at humor. Remembering the name Niv Salis and the key
         phrase.

           "When do we leave?"  Kell asks looking at the side streets
         starting to get busy.

           The party has gathered all around, all seven, plus
         their 3 pets.  Kiet feels a bit odd with no horses.  Donara
         is a large province how do they expect to get around?

           Fremea considers the info from Damon and the High Elder.
         Damon she does not know well.  But Z'leyra and Unali seem
         to know him well.  Is there even some odd click between
         Unali and Damon?  Maybe she is reading too much into it.
         Cholan also seems to trust the man so his info is probably
         solid.  But the Elder should have a bit more info?  With
         his powers she figures he might know the missing location
         to the parents.  Maybe he does and just doesn't want to say?
         Maybe there is more he knows but is too afraid to mention?

           Fremea shakes her head from the swarm of questions.  A
         faerry should be happy and playing pranks.  Toying with humans
         and being down right annoying to others. But for such a small
         person, Fremea realizes that leadership and the burden of
         a quest weigh heavily.  She looks over at Unali and knows
         she was very quiet and solemn in Katai when she led the
         group.  She glances at the others like Raban, Kell and Kiet
         how would they react to her orders?

           Kell clears his throat once outside of the tavern in
         the morning sun.  This causes Fremea to break her train
         of thought.

           "Gorlic is the painter.  He wasn't very popular and seemed
         famous for killing himself by drinking poison, then wasting away
         for weeks." Lowering his voice to barely a whisper, "Never become
         an artist.." Louder again, "He painted mainly landscapes, whilst
         the man I got this information from didn't know anything about
         the painting itself.   Metai was the seller. He has a small shop
         which I'm planning to visit. He deals with Donara and Xian in
         Donara.  When we find his shop that may help."

           Fremea takes a second to relisten to the message and then
         turns to Arawn and Z. "I say we teleport to the spot that we
         have been given. Tell me when either of you are ready or if
         someone else can take us there..." She double checks her stuff,
         still always prepared to go, both from her training and her own
         discipline.

           Z'leyra will speak up "While I know the basics of the teleport
         spell, I have not mastered it to beyond being able to teleport
         perhaps a days walk in distance. I am not the one that can
         teleport the entire party to Donara."

           Kiet grunts thinking the horses are better each minute.  The
         ride through Thaliba sounds fascinating.

           Arawn explains he can teleport everyone to the spot.

         Actions?  Comments?

         Next Update....Friday...

         GM: A small update.  There was/is a lot of behind scenes work
             I still need to do for clean up.  So that has taken the
             bulk of the time.  I was going to do the teleport but
             I did the math below.  So we may want to change things.
             See below. Let me know if Will will teleport or Arawn?
             You two can talk it over or do half/half.

         GM: The core game site [remove the /pbem from the URL] is
             very basic site for all 5 games.  Sadly I keep deleting
             it and have finally learned to keep a backup on the site.
             I tend to upload in this directory rather than \pbem.
             Years ago I used Hotbuttons to make quick cool web buttons.
             Simple for my personal site.  It is somewhere on a CD
             and too lazy or no time to find it.  If anyone wishes
             to get a brown point or two and want to do a quick couple
             button images let me know.  Right now its just URL click
             links for the pages.  Let me know if interested but this
             is just a gee whiz thing I doubt only a dozen folks will ever
             see this page ever. :)

         GM: I am assuming all 3 animals are taken.  The wolf will have
             the hardest time in the city.  While it can be faked to
             be a dog even in some places like a tavern it won't be
             allowed.  Same for Squirt.  Corona will likely just perch
             outside.  But keep in mind for entering private places.
             BTW will what is your wolf's name? I can't find it on
             the sheet so I can add to the roster above.

         GM: Some have sent their gear some have not.  Once the
             first combat starts whenever that is then it will
             be too late.  I'll assume you bring everything if not
             sent your gear stuff.    There is another item we need
             to take care of gold.  how much coin do you bring? Some
             have given this info already.  But it is a thing we
             tend to forget.  I will assume all unless stated othewise.

         GM: With the gear stuff I have a lot of work on sheets to
             update and should be done with that soon.  I'll work
             on updating the people file and reworking the Mana file
             so folks can keep track of mana.  Stay tuned and I'll
             post them to the website with a date when updated.

         GM: Languages - Language file updated.  Only can use it once
             a day so the 3 days of waiting used 3 slots.  Some are
             still on the waiting list.  But if someone wishss to learn
             they'll need to cast Tongues to get the language down.

               Player        Donaran     Salaqara
              Fremea           Yes          Yes
              Z'leyra          Yes          Yes*
              Arawn            Yes-         Yes-
              Unali            Yes          Yes
              Raban            Yes*         No
              Kiet             Yes-         No
              Kell             Yes--        No
              Will             Yes*         No

              *  Can read this language as well as speak it.
              -  Knows the language but below fluent
              -- Knows language but barely common words

             So this should give you details on who can speak what.
             So Kell will have the hardest speaking.  40 is a expert
             level and 80 is even better.  60 is still fluent.  Below
             40 is not expert.  Below 20 might be common words or
             hard to understand language.

         GM: Translocations - Arawn can take 5 others with him.  Using
             the system of his weight and gear as a factor he can do
             folks around 240 pounds as one inclusion.  Chion was bigger
             and so could do more.

                Z'leyra   -  1/Gear+Corona -  2
                Fremea    -                -  1
                Arawn     -                -  1
                Unali     -                -  1
                Raban     - due to size    -  3
                Kiet      -                -  1
                Kell      - 1/gear+Squirt  -  2
                Will      - 1/gear+Wolf    -  2

                Total inclusions needed - 13
                So Arawn will need to do 3 trips back and forth.

                Will can do 11 inclusions at around 220 pounds.
                Z'leyra would probably be a 1 count.  Kell goes
                to probably a 1 count.  Raban 2 count.  So Will
                could do the entire party in one jump.

                So who wishes to teleport or do you take 1 group
                each to make 1 jump only?  Let me know.
