Fremea shakes her head a lot more than normal, this time not in the sense of not understanding, but to clear the noise and lights out of it. After catching herself and figuring out that this a ceiling, instead of open sky or being buried alive, she assesses her body, finds nothing wrong about her, then quickly checks her stuff, especially her bags.


Once she finds herself intact and her things not missing, she pulls her daggers and scans the room.


After seeing the large table and the sidh symbols, she scans it with her mana sensing. Then the person, Z's sister walks in, she readys herself to fight if something else happens.

Unali checks herself out from slamming into so many things, last of all
Kiet. If it seems she is OK and everything is in place (daggers
included), she will untangle herslef from Kiet and stand up. A brief
stroke along his check, 'Thanks for picking me out of the air.' and she
will extend a hand to help Kiet up as well.

By that time things have escalted with Fuk an Z's sister. Unali takes a
quiet pose and waits for Z' to respond first.

>             Some see Unali floating above them towards a wall and

>             Kiet who is now sitting up sees Unali flying toward her

>
>             Fuk and Lucria are both knocked into each other and roll

>             Fremea appears at the top of the room slamming her head into
>           a oil lantern forcing her to dive and weave.  She regains

>             Arawn is about 20 feet from the others near one set of

>
>             Around the room are 5 other villages.  Three adult females

>             The room itself is about 100 feet wide and 100 feet long.
>           It is about 10 feet high.  Skylights are dotted around the
>           room giving most of the room light.  There are oil lanterns
>           every 15 or so feet as well lit.  There are columns holding

>
>             Arawn glances behind and sees a set of two large stone
>           doors.  There does not seem to be doorknobs.  Then Arawn
>           sees the table that Pyan must've hit.  it is a flat table
>           shaped like a T with the top wider than base.  The base is
>           5 feet and top 8 feet by  5 feet.  It almost looks like
>           a altar as Arawn can see runes and blazing sets of magical
>           aura around it.  As his vision and mind clears from the pain
>           he is drawn to the alter.

>             Z'leyra wakes and tries to control her levitate spell
>           but she needs help from Fuk and Fremea to make her vertical.

> e           As Arawn gets within 5 feet he sees Balance and Sidh sigils

>
>             All along the floor are discarded gear, sand and rocks.
>           Some have lost their weapons or personal items.  Z'leyra
>           wonders why this room is so large for a simple table with

>
>             Just as Z'leyra gets vertical a clank to the far south
>           where the stone doors are seen.  More clanks and the one side
>           of the door opens.  A form appears.  A female form.  She

>
>             She runs forward 10 feet.  "What is going on.  Intru-"

>             Fuk behind the woman draws his dagger and pulls it around
>           to the neck of the woman.  "Don't yell, Z'lena."
>
>             He speaks these words in Marentia but the meaning is clear.
>           The woman stops.  Z'leyra turns and faces the sister she has
>           not seen in a decade.  Now with a dagger to her throat.
>
>             Z'lena notices Z'leyra.  "Z'leyra?  What...are you doing
>           in the Moss Fortress?"
>
>             The party examines the new girl and she does look indeed
>           to be a twin sister.  But she seems younger maybe 2-3 years
>           younger.  Does this mean Z'leyra uses magic to look older
>           or younger?

>               I told you a dead fan.  Well today I looked at Bios and
>               the temperature.  it scared me.  So my big priority is
>               to get a new fan for the pc.  I hope I can do this Tue/wed.
>               If I can't then I don't know the risk keeping this pc on
>               for too long.  I thought it was warm but not that hot.
>               So I hope to fix soon.  Also to maybe get a new cd or
>               such so I can transfer all my pnp files to new pc.  If I
>               do not then I will try to risk one more update Wednesday
>               afternoon.  Since I'm doing this early consider this the
>               Monday update.  I know its a odd schedule.  But its the
>               best I can do with stuff going on.  So will start update
>               Wednesday afternoon UNLESS I take to shop that day.  Then
>               it will be probably Sat/Monday.  Just a FYI.  If I can't
