GM: Ack. ------------ From Fremea: [Re: Actions] Fremea considers the offer made by Oby and wonders if there is more to this generous offer. She shrugs and decides she will take them up on it, though only wants to have good rangers to go with her to hunt, as they will know how to stealth in the forest. "There is something else I would like though. From the Herbalist shop." She speaks this to Oby. Fremea will learn Katai at least. GM: Ack. Remember the Seker revealed his name to the full party in the cave. But keeping a name private is fine. Doubt it would be asked. ------------ From Chion: [Re: Actions] Yeah, Chion wants to learn all the ones he doesn't know, L'P'Nth first though. If others wish to use it, he will not stand in their way, but if nobody chimes in, he might as well learn the languages now. GM: Ack. But do you have a particular order? :) ------------ From Kiet: [Re: Actions] Kiet would speak with Oby about three items.... "Kind Sir, I was wishing to beg your indulgence about several items we acquired on our short adventure. I would seek first advice as to how to find out in which languages these books are written? Further, I humbly ask for advice as to how to identify the signifigance of these uniforms and flag. Do you know of a scholar with whom I might work to make these determinations. Thirdly, and last, I seek to know the secret of using the magic power of this sword I have in my posession. I have little skill with military matters, but I think I may be able to make good use of the magic contained within it. Might one of your other servants be able to help me with this determination?" "Finally, Master, how might I make contact with the Vily I encountered on my entry to the Elder's lands and any suggestions you might have for me is seeking such an audience? While I am not quite ready to seek an audience with her, I must know how best to approach her." GM: Ack. ----------------------------------------------------------------- [New Stuff] [Apris 6th, 1634TH. 9th Day of Adventure #4. [Location: High Elder's domain - Citadel, Dark Lands, Forest] [Fremea listens to Oby's offer and wonders if there is a catch. As her slavers always said there is no such thing as a free meal. One must steal it or earn it. She shrugs and speaks to Oby.] Fremea: "There is something else I would like though. From the Herbalist shop." Oby: "Certainly. They are closed now but in the morning. Just speak to myself or Zhou then." [Kiet speaks to Oby while the party is starting to divide up and head to their inn rooms, eat or stables.] Kiet: "Kind Sir, I was wishing to beg your indulgence about several items we acquired on our short adventure. I would seek first advice as to how to find out in which languages these books are written? Further, I humbly ask for advice as to how to identify the significance of these uniforms and flag. Do you know of a scholar with whom I might work to make these determinations. Thirdly, and last, I seek to know the secret of using the magic power of this sword I have in my possession. I have little skill with military matters, but I think I may be able to make good use of the magic contained within it. Might one of your other servants be able to help me with this determination?" "Finally, Master, how might I make contact with the Vily I encountered on my entry to the Elder's lands and any suggestions you might have for me is seeking such an audience? While I am not quite ready to seek an audience with her, I must know how best to approach her." Oby: "I am no master sir. I am a humble servant to the High Elder. I have no noble title here. As to the books and other documents you may have found that will take time. If it is a language we know then it will be quite. If however it is a unknown language it will take time. If your willing to turn them over or a few we can study them. There may be some experts in the Lands who can identify them. But I make no promises. Same with the uniforms and flags. Those things will have to be researched. The problem is we are in the corner of this continent. As a result we are rather limited to our knowledge. As to the sword we can learn that info quickly and instruct. We even have sword teachers who can show their arts to you if willing. As to this Vily creature. That is a bit harder. Do you know her name? I suspect a summoning with her name might help. A tracking spell if you have something of her person. I'm sure we have info on the creature you could study. But beyond the above I'm not sure how one could get an audience. These things are beyond my ability as I'm not a magic caster. I could direct you to folks who could help though." Actions? Comments? Next Update...Monday... GM: Short update. I am done editing the Personalities file. I've added 32 new characters and edited about 90% of the other 130 odd characters encountered in the campaign so far. BUT at this point the ftp site is still down. So can't update the file. Once I do I'll send out an email for folks to review it. So ignore the old file on the site now. With this done I'm at the point of working on IBT actions now. I've read and started the first two and sent out comment emails . I'm off this weekend so will be working on it more then. So stay tuned. I'm almost ready to work on Ben'dar's but waiting to figure out if Kiet is going to join him in the forest or not. Skill wise it doesn't matter if you guys combine IBT actions and work together. But it does for encounters. Folks can die on random encounters, for an example see Triest's info in the character file now or later. So its critical I know where folks go either safe in the citadel or out in the wilds. So stayed tuned. Only a few slots left on the language slots technically. For the language chart consult the previous updates. Quick update for now. Hopefully be done with 1-2 IBTs this weekend. Hopefully ftp site back up and can update the website too - getting a bit frustrating it down every other night. :< GM: Timeline - [Reminder to me and you] Apris 3-6 - Travel to Citadel Apris 7-14- IBT time Apris 15 - High Elder's Meeting Total IBT Days: 12 GM: IBT Actions - IBT events will be queued.
