       [Recap]

         From Ix: [Re: Actions]
           Ix smiled upon hearing that she was still welcome ...
         GM: Ack.

         From Mae: [Re: Actions]
           Maelorna smiles warmly as she listens to Pa'mor,...
         GM: Ack.  12 SC deducted.

         From Arawn: [Re: Actions]
           [Time:  3:42pm to 4:33pm]

           Before heading out Arawn asked the dwarves if they ...

           [Time:  5:29pm]

           "I'm Arawn and it's a pleasure to meet you," he said,...

           Sea/Water Powers:

            Dorahk, Arawn can cast Friendly Current to speed up the
            journey. Is this something you'd like to have me do? It's
            currently at EL 1 but should rise quickly while we travel.
            Also, Scott, you have Friendly Current listed under Sea Powers
            for Arawn so assuming it was Sea and not Water, then it'll be a
            little bit more useful to the party. Let me know if I should
            treat it as  Water and not a Sea Power spell as listed on my CS.
         GM: Ack.   This vision info I never got info from anyone on
             this I asked for few updates back.  So figured it wasn't
             done.  Alfar is a glorified Elf.  So to those who sense
             Elves you are an Elf.  They may not know what an Alfar
             is as probably 99.9% of the planet.  But they see you
             as a Elf.  The FC spell is in BOTH family groups in v2.
             This is why.

         From Raddok: [Re: Actions]
           [approx 4-7 pm-ish]

           Raddok accompanies Kiet in purchasing supplies for the ship &
           the group's  journey. The only supplies of his own that he
           brings with him are ten pounds of grain he had recently bought
           for his horse, which he plans to leave at the estate's stable
           (the original plan had been to leave it at the boarding stable
            as a treat for his beast, but the estate now works as well).

            Kiet takes him to the stable where Raddok paid 1GC & 3SC for 6
            weeks' boarding, placing his horse's gear on the horse for ease
            of carrying. He then asked directions to his local moneylender,
            where he withdrew 2GC for journey expenses, arranging for the
            fee to be paid from part of the remaining balance.

            As Kiet purchases some supplies at a chandlers
            (cross-country supplier?), Raddok purchases some climbing gear
            he finds in a corner of the shop - a grappling hook, 50 feet
            of fine rope (for climbing), a Climbers Hammer, ten iron
            spikes - and, on general principles, 3 sacks, each capable of
            holding ten to twenty pounds of supplies, etc. He had a funny
            feeling the gear might be needed, although he'd actually been
            meaning to buy the gear for some time, and now used the
            opportunity to do so.

            Raddok tells Kiet that he's willing to chip in one of his gold
            coins, or both, if needed for his share of the group's
            traveling expenses, but that would be all he could afford at
            the current time.

            When they reached the estate, Raddok politely bows at Kiet's
            introduction to the steward and guards and makes arrangements
            to board his horse & store his horse's gear along with the
            other horses to be retrieved later by Arawn, leaving one GC
            and two SC to cover the animal's expenses. In addition, he
            leaves the ten pounds of grain for his horse, which would
            make his pack load that much lighter, and the grain would get
            used before it got too old.

            [OOC: OK, Scott, I know I told you I was leaving 2GC at the
            estate to care for the horse, but decided that the horse should
            only be there for a month maximum, so that's why the revised
            figure above. This will  leave Raddok's cash (carried with him)
            as 2GC,11SC, 8CC, 9BB. (this figuring he breaks up a GC into
            SC for easier spending at less risk of exposing what little
            gold he has with him to strangers' eyes).  Also realized that
            the grain Raddok was carrying (for his horse) would get too
            old if carried with his other supplies so he decides to leave
            it at the estate stables - this reduces his supply weight by 1
            0#, nd the new climbing gear adds 8.75# (a net loss of 1.25# -
            lol)]
         GM: Ack.  To clarify you are housing horse at Z's place which she
             as far as I know doesn't charge? or the ranch until you
             return?  As to supplies I assume that's in the email which
             I've not had chance to read yet. :)  To be honest I'm confused.
             Is this for ship or you?  For you just email what you want as
            you did.  I thought Z was getting supplies as Kiet was originally
            asked for but Kiet bowed out when Z said she would. Yet I
            have no info (4 updates later) on those supplies.  You are free
            to help Z but its just a bit confusing on what is going on.
            I assume this is a repeat of your email so will read the
            email in detail and kinda skim this info for now.  Especially
            since there is a big storm overhead need to stop now.

       [New Stuff]

           [Marqi Frisda 23rd, 1636TH]

           [NE Ba'ru Hills, Ba'ru]
           [Time: 3:55 pm]
           [Dwarf's village/cave]

             Before heading out Arawn asked the dwarves if they had
           enough coin, food, arms and such for their trip. He did not
           know how long or short their journey might be, or how difficult
           but he wanted to give them as good a chance as he possibly
           could, offering what them what he could. He also reminded them
           of Dorhak's promise to re imburse them for the loss in the
           future, the Alfar asking the elder for a contact or some other
           way for Dorhak to reach them in the future. And he warned them
           to keep an eye out for the man described by Z'leyra in her
           vision, for both their safety, justice and possibly
           information if a way was found to pass it along. After saying
           a prayer for the fallen he turned to the living, giving
           them a quiet blessing for safety and future prosperity
           before heading out towards Kaz's dwelling.

             The dwarves speak for a bit and Arawn can get the idea
           they are not wanting help or support at least the
           others that were here already.  Finally the Elder speaks
           saying they have all they need.  They do not use
           human coins at all unless absolutely in extreme cases.
           They prefer to stay out of the city.


           [Sivas, Marentia]
           [Time: 4:12 pm]
           [Mae's Cabin]

             Maelorna smiles warmly as she listens to Pa'mor, reaches up
           and brushes a hair out of the way of her face and nods, "I
           accept, I just want a home to be able to come back to, 12
           silver.  I can easily make that amount back up when I return,"
           she reaches in and hands one gold and two silver coins to the
           woman.

             'You can make her your pet,' the voice teases, 'It's not like
           you haven't bedded a woman before, Isn't that what you want
           one of your elder sisters for?  How else will they teach you?'
           the voice gives a playful giggle.  Maelorna pauses for a
           moment, hesitating, it would be so easy to do such, to make
           the woman hers, pretty, handsome, ugly or disgusting it
           mattered little to her.  'No and stop teasing me, there is
           too much danger involved, especially when she has promised me
           a home to come back to.  I will not endanger that' she tells
           the voice as she nods to Pa'mor and steps out.

             Pa'mor clicks her lips in that snear-smack she does that
           annoys Mae - the fat wench so old she barely gets any
           service.  Thebro`thel owner adds before Mae leaves, "just
           don't come back with some diseases.  You're an investment
           and I will inspect the wares before you go back to work!
           Tell Jor to come in I have a itch!"  Mae leaves and
           tells Jor the bouncer knowing her itches are not just
           that but some games she plays.

             For once she has a home, that doesn't include a collar or
           fear of Master Gniled involving a paddle and chains.

             She steps out into the night and heads towards the ship and
           on another whim, decides to hunt for a meal.  Perhaps she
           might find someone with ill intent, after all, she did promise
           Arawn she would only hunt those who preyed upon others.



           [Ba'ru North Hills, Ba'ru]
           [Time: 5:29 pm]
           [Kaz's Cabin]

             "I'm Arawn and it's a pleasure to meet you," he said, greeting
           Kaz

             Doing his best to be a good guest the Alfar allowed Ix to
           dominate the conversation for a bit until he gained a better
           feel for the man. He made himself useful as best he could
           without overstepping. When the elderly human addressed him
           regarding 'reading' him or his  home Arawn's eyes shone as he
           gave a quiet smile.

             "I'm not an elf but I understand and I'm happy to oblige,"
           he replied. "Though I must admit that it would be like asking
           Ix to ' shut off' her hearing. I see the flow, energy, all the
           time, in everything. But I'll do my best to avoid noticing
           anything or focusing on things while present."

             "And I'm sorry to hear that you've had issues with elves in
           the past... whatever the reason. Hopefully those reasons have
           passed and more peaceful relations now exist."

             When the man directed his attention to the Zehani wolf
           Arawn smiled in an oddly knowing manner but said nothing, though
           he cocked a brow in a somewhat slighted manner when Kaz shot
           him a look while discussing men as lascivious beasts.

             As Arawn denies being an Elf, Kaz stands in a huff and glares
           as he moves to get more teas as a distraction.  Arawn can
           sense rage building but being a human who honors hospitality
           Kaz remains silent.  Then Kaz sits and sips his cup as
           Arawn finishes. "You deny being an Elf?  My innate talent
           is to know such things.  You are a Elf if you deny it or not."
           Ix squirms does that mean Kaz knows about her?  Kaz turns
           to Ix and explains about the time lost.

             Ix smiled upon hearing that she was still welcome there.  It
           made her feel wonderful knowing that she helped Kaz, she was
           wanted and she  touched someone's life.  Her attention was then
           brought to her wolf, but then turned her gaze back towards Kaz,
           "Zol'zim isn't a pet, he's my companion.  I can see and feel
           that he's no ordinary wolf, size aside... and I know he's far
           smarter than he lets on."

             Carefully running her fingers along the bracelet, she could
           feel the loving detail that had gone into making it, "How does
           it work?"  She laughed at Kaz's remark, "For a 'dirty old man',
           you've been awfully well-behaved."  She could feel Kaz staring
           at Arawn now, had he been giving her looks when she wasn't
           paying attention and Kaz caught on? She tilted her head as she
           glanced at Arawn.  Of course she couldn't read any expression
           on his face, but she could feel it and hear it in his voice.

             Kaz nods and glances at the wolf and briefly at Arawn
           before returning to Ix.  "He is probably smarter than all three
           of us combined."

             Kaz then goes on to explain how to use it and best not to
           point it to a ally.  "...Unless they decide you are not worthy
           of being with them." He adds which seems to make Ix shiver
           a bit for some reason.

             Later as Arawn steps out to prepare Corsaya for leaving Kaz
           sits by Ix and whispers.  "No time to explain my past on
           Elves.  But be careful of that one or any other elf.  They
           tend to be out for themselves and rather see their people
           taken care of first before others.  They have...a tendency
           to betray faster than a goblin eats fingers."

             Before Mae leaves she spots a nice young man which great
           neck muscles.  The man is checking out the 'viewing line'.
           The cattle line of girls for fun.  But he spots Mae and
           that red hair and grins and points to her.  But the lead
           girl says she isn't on duty tonight.  But Mae finds the man
           and his muscles riveting so decides to take on the chore.
           She finds he has great abs as well as lower body muscles
           that keep the man very active for 3 hours.

             It is now almost 8pm and Mae slinks into the darkness a bit
           sore and warm from the encounter.  She knows Z'leyra probably
           has meals ready for her but its probably too late.  She
           decides to prowl the streets.  With her crossbow on her back
           its not as easy as one can imagine for a girl on a prowl
           in need of a rescue from the evils of the world.  But it takes
           almost an hour when she spots a target.

             Mae spots a man slither down a street of houses.  She has
           seen the type as she herself is a thief.  The man is casing
           a possible target.  But it seems most houses are full and
           not good targets.  But then the man notices a girl in the
           window exit the window into the back.  She is probably 13-14.
           The girl runs to the outhouse in her night clothes.  The man
           shifts his pants and moves into the back yard and approaches
           the outhouse.  It seems not only does he want to steal he
           wants to target victims.  Mae watches as the man tries to
           open the locked door.  The girl tells her family - she
           thinks - is occupied.  Mae decides to make obvious noise
           coming which startles the man.  The man runs the other way.
           The chase is on!

             But men are stupid when they run away they tend to hide
           nearby so they can go back to the fun.  It doesn't take
           Mae long to find the man in the bushes.  Mae enters the
           bushes smiling and 15 minutes leaves a naked man slumped
           over.  To add to the fun Mae taps on the front door of the
           home she informs she saw some strange naked man in the
           bushes and they should be careful.  The girl had already
           explained the odd outhouse encounter and gone to sleep.
           But now the man exits with a large fireplace poker.

             Mae wipes her neck from some excess fun as she
           hears the naked man scream and Mae hears the squish
           of metal against flesh.  Mae decides it is time to head
           to Z'leyra's for the night.

           Actions? Comments?

           Next Update....Friday?

           GM: A short update.  I wanted to get this out today since
               I am off Friday and Monday.  But can't do update Saturday.
               So in order to get it out twice this week I did it
               Tuesday and will try Friday.

               I STILL have no info on 'getting supplies'.  As GM I can't
               just poof and snap fingers.  Supplies obtained.  I need
               a detailed list.  Raddok did include some examples in
               his post and email.  But I'm talking for SHIP not personal
               gear.  At first Dorhak ordered Kiet to get them then
               Z'leyra offers and Kiet bowed out.  So I guess it
               is up to Z?  I still need info/details on such and
               who is paying for such.  I believe all of the party loot
               was sold so there is no 'party fund' yet.  I gave plenty
               of info on the trip and the cities/times.  So I will need
               info on supplies probably each city or in total.  But
               until then we can't move on until I get this info.

              It is unclear if Z will charge for stable expenses or not.
              So I'll list such below.  For supplies the minimal items
              needed are food, water of course.  Other than that it
              is up to you guys.  There are 15 people plus 2 animals
              If you need details on how much food/water is added ask.

              I've started working on sheets now to update and got
              a lot done.  I will try to do more tomorrow and Friday.
              There is NO need to post just to post.  So if you need
              to add to the update for supplies or such.  But don't
              feel obligated to post just to post.

              Once I hear back on Dorhak's Water spell for Arawn I can
              then get Arawn to tell how much he'll cast it for a plotted
              course/time table and then process encounters from Sivas
              to the first city.  Till ten will wait for this info and
              the supplies/sheets to be done.  Sheets I'm doing in order
              of size and for those who already posted gear info.  So
              Arawn's sheet is last (oddly its actually bigger than Z's
              for the first time!).  So the below list is in order how
              I'll handle each sheet.  If you need updated sheets (for
              those who I'm done with) let me know.  For those who have
              Sustenance spells/coins/items or Water from Stone spells
              or items it is important you tell me if you use them on
              trip or I'll assume the party food/kegs of water will be used.
              Keep in mind some of such items need items for it to work.
              Like material or buckets like Kiet uses.  Just using such
              gear without the tools is useless.    So keep this in
              mind for gear buying.

              If one doesn't buy food, ammo or such then I'll assume
              you run out during combat. :)

              I need to add the 4 sailors to Roster.  Anyone want
              to name these sailors? :)

              So tasks to be done
                * Supply info (hint hint)
                * personal gear buys
                * sheets to finish
                * trip route fleshed out

          GM: Mae - Assume all gear is taken nothing left behind including
                 coins.

              Mournath - Easy sheet as not much to do.  Nothing changed
                 since last sent you it. I assume taikng all gear.

              Pyan -Updated sheet to add items from Kell's Will/Loot.
                 Including spear and coins.  I assume take all gear
                 except horse related items and horse.  What about
                 your horse as well?

              Dorhak - Since only leaving 2 items easy sheet to edit.
                No horse so your good to go.  Assuming you need ammo
                or food though you'll need that.

              Ix - Added Bracelet to sheet  (note J 3.
                 I assume taking all current gear.

              Raddok  Got email but won't be able to get to it till
                Wednesday.  Your next on sheet work.  I think I saw
                you offered to pay Z for storage or was that the ranch?
                I'll study it in more detail when do email.

              Kiet - Since have manor list what you keep at home or not.
                also list how much expenses you want (including horse)
                to be paid in advance.  3? 6? 8 Months?  I have no
                idea how long adventure last but you can see the report
                on website for estimates.

             Fremea - You don't have much gear se.  But just let me
               know what is not taken if its easier   Can be stayed
               at home/warehouse.  Let me know on how much expenses
               to be paid out for parents to deal with warehouse
               and such expenses.

             Z'leyra: Still need that supply info (subtle hint).
                Since you have pages and pages of gear let me know
                what is taken/not.  You can use the methods I
                outlined in past to speed it up.  Let me know
                on manor expenses paid out as well as horses that
                may be staying with you.  Since folks are not
                giving info on that as well.

             Arawn - Where will Fay horse stay? Keep that in mind.
               Let me know what is taken/not taken.  You'll be
               last so will probably be a week or two.   Will reply to
               email tomorrow.  Sorry.
