Game Update #57 in sequence (file #229)
----------------------------------------------------------------
Admin Notes: Niko removed from Roster.

[Recap]
From Kiet : [Re: Actions]
Kiet is somewhat baffled over the renting of these nags.
He says "Um, guys...I don't ever plan on returning ...
GM: Ack. I forget what I quoted but renting for 2 copper is
smaller than buying for 2 gold. :)
From Fremea: [Re: Actions]
Fremea gets fed up with the whole concept of the horse travel
and just says to teleport.
GM: Ack.
From Kiet: [Re: Actions]
Well, Kiet was really hoping for a ride, but 40 miles in
a day would probably kill the horses anyway. Then he'd not
only be out the rental cost, but he was pretty certain of
having to pay the full replacement cost. Probably a premium
too because of their lost revenue while they find more horses!
"Ok, if we are going to teleport, I'm leaving my horse ....
GM: Ack. Well Riding Is can do 25 miles easily. With the
road that's 1.5 due to the well worn road improved travel.
So 37 or so miles. Figure might edge another 3 out if
a extra hour or two at night. :)

[New Stuff]
[Sepes 28th, 1634TH]
[Location: City of Salaqara, Donara]
[Time: 9:25pm - North Salaqara - Tavern]
Before leaving the tavern in haste, Kiet approaches the
bar keep and slides some coins to him. Saying this for
the young man who will return in the morning called Niko
and then some for his own effort. The man takes the
coins and just grunts. Ungrateful guests wrecking his
place and not even staying. Doing damage to a customer
who may come back to haunt him. He walks away grumbling
to himself.
[Time: 9:47pm - North Salaqara - Stables]
As the party start to haggle and select horses, Fremea
is pacing back and forth behind the party. What could
be worse than a boring ship ride to Samma would be horses.
First Etain figured a few days then they learned it might
take 8 or 9 days. That week delay could mean the death
of many people if the thief got the next piece.
Fremea wonders if the thief is a wizard or just a plain
lucky mundane. To use the device maybe a mundane might use it.
But to know about the magical painting. That may imply the
thief is a wizard. Then there is the biggest evidence of those
teleport disks that took the admiral away to his doom.
Kiet is somewhat baffled over the renting of these nags.
He says "Um, guys...I don't ever plan on returning to this
town unless I am wearing a flawless disguise. Why didn't we
just buy some horses? It wouldn't be significantly more than
what we are spending on 'rental'."
Fremea stops in mid pace and looks around. Teleport that
means the thief either has magical friends who made the
disks or he/she can use the spell. That means the thief
could be there a full week before they get there. That might
give the thief time to get the final piece and kill many -
including her own parents. That is not acceptable at all.
Fremea turns and moves quickly away from the stables. She
yells over her shoulder there is no deal and no horses. The stable
owner shrugs as if he has seen deals fail many times and just gets
back to work inside the stable house.
Kiet looks a bit dumbfounded. What now? Etain and Raban
quickly follow Fremea. Then the rest followed with a confused
but disappointed Kiet in the rear.
---------
[Time: 10:28pm - North of Salaqara - Plains]
The party moves silently in the dark for some time away
from the gate. Finally Fremea turns and stops, stating that
she wants to teleport to Samma now.
Kiet stoops a bit and tries to catch his breath. This little
leader can move fast with tiny legs. "Ok, if we are going to
teleport, I'm leaving my horse gear behind. I'll buy some
wherever we end up. Also, if there are going to be two
teleports, I'd like to be in the second one, please."
"Oh! And is there a chance we could land not in the middle
of a town? I'd like to disguise myself before we get too far
along. You all should consider the same." Kiet looks over to
Raban and says, "I'm sorry Big Guy. I don't think there is much
we can do to disguise you enough to be not as noticeable."
"Z'leyra. Your necklace is a rather great hindrance to me
and my magic. Might I impose upon you to put it away until
you think it's a good time to check for illusions?" Kiet is
using his gentlest manner in making his request.
Raban shrugs, "well the nice thing is they tend to put eyes
on me and not you guys. So I'm a good distraction. They might
notice you but would not give detailed info unlike myself. How
many times do we pass a person in the market? Can you give
a full description from clothing to face if it was important?
But pass a drunk dwarf with a long beard and carrying a mug
you could probably give details. It is not how much you don't
look but how much you stand out. I stand out. You guys tend
to not do so."
Etain looks to the group in the moonless light. "Does anyone
have a map of Samma or that area?"
The group remains silent. Unali groans slightly. She did
have a map of Donara but its at home.
"We'll need a map maybe to get a good place to go. I don't
know how the spell works. But the only one to been to Samma
I guess is myself and Fremea. But I am no expert. But doing
it at this tome of night blind is dangerous. How will it
work?"
Actions? Comments?
Next Update....Friday...
GM: Short update. I was going to work on the random encounters
and all that fun. But teleport changes things. I redid the
scene with the horses time wise. But we can't do that
in every case. Since it wasn't a big deal this time I
rewound the time stream. The stuff at the gate still
happened just without horses. Now I need to know who
will do the teleeporting? Then what will be involved with
it and where to go (blind jump).
Looks like it is 220 miles from Samma to current location.
So a teleport will need that distance. You will need to
cover 6 people, plus 3 more (Raban counts as 3 people
for teleport purposes due to weight), plus wolf, plus
eagle. Will assume Squirt is small enough to be included
with Kell's weight. Not to be nitpicky on the gear weight
let's say another 3 peole counts for gear. So total of
6+3+1+1 i- 11 people
Chion could do that with a EL11 spell. But the others
here may need 2 trips. There are Fremea, Z'leyra, Will,
and Arawn can do the job. Will has the highest EL but
he is awol sigh. Even once we know the 1-3 trips (depending
on EL( I still need to know where and how to teleport (ie
just 5 miles up and fall to the ground?).
So I will wait for those answers before going on.
So EL11 for 1 Trip else 2 lower EL trips.
