[pnpgm] Game Update # 174 - File # 1268 - Age cures

Sun Mar 28 10:34:07 CEST 2021

Fremea watches the others debate about casting spells. After Z asks, she looks with her senses and knows that this is a very purified place that could also have wards and other potentially bad effects on spells not aligned with its purpose. "I don't recommend casting here at all, but do as you wish." She then notices others saying good bye to Barbosa, she just catches his eye and nods to him, wishing him good journeys. She did get used to his stink, and it will be good to not have to deal with it anymore.

She will gladly leave to get back home, as her family must be wondering why she has gone so long again.

        [New
Stuff]

        [Ma
10th, 1636TH]

     [Time:  7:50 pm LW
time]

   Z'leyra speaks up, "Hold on! Before humans go through I
would like to try to protect us from the aging. While I had originally
planned to research and prepare for this before any excursion to the
Lower World, needs must and I will give it the best try with what little
mana I have, Please allow me a few moments of casting."

   The Avatar turns to Z'leyra, “that would be unwise.
The Sidh have prepared this game and the tunnels with great effort.
That would include defenses for any non friendly magic in case enemy
forces got this far.  Cast at your own risk.”

   The King looks back at Z'leyra then to Fremea.  “Can
you detect this?”

   Fremea quickly nods.  While the “Test” chamber had
minerals to affect the party the tunnels and this chamber seem to have a
high purified and protection area.  Course any hidden defensive
wards may be shielded.

   The Bes steps up and whispers but his voice is heard as this
chamber echos it slightly, “should we back away into a tunnel in case
something bad happens?”

   The King shrugs, “worst can happen is a cave in or the
portals are destroyed or the crystals shatter and can't use it.  So
doubt we have much area to flee too.  Not like magic will be zapped
again twice?”

   The King grins having heard the story of the throne room bad
spell as they traveled here.

   Kiet steps aside with hands raised.  "Don’t
include me.  I am protected already."

   Upus ask, “ Will any of my people age more then me when I
get back home, will I age when we return. I hate it here I’m ready to go
back to the home world. Not that my homeland would want or need me but
man my past is better then staying here in this strange land.”

   King turns to the red man, glancing at Raddok to help words
he may not use wisely, “I honestly don't know.  I don't know if you
are....excuse me...human?”  HE glances at the Avatar.
“Guardian.  Will these two-”, he points to the Diumagi, “be affected
worse.”

   The Avatar stares in front of himself, “insufficient
information.”

   King shrugs, “do you wish to return with the others or with
us?”

   Dorhak hears the talk of returns and time.  The time
issues are irrelevant, as he is at home in the Lower World, or at least
it’s not alien to him, but the people are important.

   Hearing that Barbosa wishes to stay saddens him.  But
it is his right. "Barbosa!  You are a fine companion for this
crew, and a brave, dutiful dwarf.  I salute you, and commend
you.  To other dwarves, I shall praise your name in their company so
they might know of your courage and valor."

   Barbosa clasps Dorhak's hands, “thank you. If you are around
those of m people in Ba'ru share those stories!  Maybe I will return
home and the will accept me.  But that may be a long time away.”

   To the Bes King, Dorhak says."Your possession of the
Book we left with you will have to stay with you.  I urge you, and
beg of you, to care for it, keeping the world safe from what it
contains.  I don’t think I can follow you back to your kingdom...so
I ask you...Will you swear to keep that tome from ever being used or
seeing the light of day?"

   King Strata stands tall, “I do not know of the full details
of this book. Aside from what you shared in confidence.  But if this
is as powerful as you say I swear it will be kept in a dark and safe
place.”

   When Z'leyra speaks up about protecting the humans of their
company, Raddok moves closer to her and says, “Thank you, Z'leyra – I am
willing to try what you want to do. We pretty much all want to go home.”

   He then goes over to say to Barbosa, “It has been an honor
to have you with us, Barbosa. All my best wishes for you. May you find
happiness here with the Bes  .They are good people.”

   Barbosa nods, “You'd be welcome in our mines.”

   Raddok then gives a brief bow & moves back to the party.
His weapons are drawn, just in case there's trouble at the other end of
this very strange journey they are to attempt. Home was looking very
good, indeed. He silently sent up prayers to all the gods he could think
of that might help them all.

   Z'leyra pauses. "Ugh...hmmm. Arawn, Fremea. Before I
cast anything, can you tell if their are any magics present that will
disturb or prevent my casting spells?"

   Arawn nods but is quiet.  Fremea nods and detects a
massive purified ground all around.  So that could interfere
slightly  But if there are other defensive spells she can't detect
any if they are shielded.

   The Avatar turns to the table where Unali put the loot of
gear on.  She is just about to pack them back into Arawn's
bag.  “Powerful magic detected.”  The Inkwell like object glows
briefly.  “Possible enemy infection or influenced.”

   Unali grabs the object and stuffs it in Arawn's bag.
She figures it may be best to leave before the Avatar takes action
against the device?

   The Bes Guard shrugs on hearing the translation. “All this
worry about age is good but time will be far ahead on return.
Whether you age a week or a month isn't as important as the time lost by
others left behind.”

        GM:
Actions? Comments?

    Next Update....Wednesday???

        GM: Looks
like Raddok will wish to be helped not heard form Pyan on the risk.
I will assume Dorhak orders party to leave before the spells? So they can
be safe and home in case things go badly?  Then Z/Raddok can be last
if portal remains.  So will assume this unless stated
otherwise.  I've not looked at the spells to see how long it will
take but probably 15-30 seconds so the portal should remain open – should
before shifting to new locations.  Was gonna do this update Tue/Wed
but figured got posts will do now.  Will do the spells tue/wed and
hopefully move to next scene home.  Actually maybe not.  Will
have to do spell results so Z can prepare BEFORE I can go to next
scene.  So that'll delay the final scene a update or two.
Would've done it tonight but getting late.
