     [Recap]

        From Chris: [Re: Reactions]
          <If Ben&'Dar hears the details of this battle, he will revise
           his thinking about Fremea.  He finds this just...disturbing:
        GM: Ack.  Not sure if she tells anyone.  That's up to her.
            Arawn won't even know what she did.  It was ok, by her,
            to post it so I did.  Think of it this way.  If Tef'wo
            were slain and given to some dogs to be eaten I think
            you'd get revenge in a painful and slow way as well?


                        ---------------------

        From Fremea: [Re: Battle tactics]
          Nobody will get to hear this. It was added only for flavor that
          there is something more to Fremea than what she appears to be.:)
        GM: Ack.  Figured. :)

     [New Stuff]

        [Apris 6th, 1634TH. 9th Day of Adventure #4.
        [Location: High Elder's domain - Citadel, Dark Lands, Forest]

        GM: Unali's IBT actions...

            [During the trip back to the Citadel, Unali asks Arawn to
             also give her pointers and teach her sword use.  She knows
             other weapons like the dagger and scimitar well but not the
             simple sword.  For the next eight days Arawn spends some
             time with Unali and teaches her the sword until she gets
             the basics down.]

            [Apris 7th, Unali is exploring the village and notices a
             single patrolmen eyeing her near some shops.  He follows
             her for some time but she ignores him.  From the glare on
             his face it doesn't take Unali long to figure out he doesn't
             seem to like women with any form of power even if that means
             as a self-sufficient warrior.  Unali sighs at the male mind
             that is common in her land and here it seems. Katai men
             believe the man should be in charge of the home and women
             serve the man.  Unali continues on her business but eventually
             loses sight of the patrolman on his rounds.]

            [The first day back in the Citadel Unali heads to the bathhouse
             and takes a long soaking bath.  Having gotten used to Duke
             Aren's estate these little things are important to her.  She
             washes her dirty and dusty hair and then gets her clothes
             repaired and washed as well.  A simple chore most in the
             party fail to do.]

            [Near 11am on the 11th, Unali goes to eat a early lunch in one
             tavern and notices a group of four men in the next table.
             They seem excited and talking about travelling far for some
             quest to gain wealth.   From the conversation she hears they
             have gone  three days from their small village.  Some contest
             out in the western domains has them interested in the rewards
             it may give them.  They speak of what they'll buy and do with
             the money if they win the contest.  They only spend a minute
             or two talking about how deadly the contest sounds.  Unali
             figures these contests must go on frequently.  A way to level
             the playing field for apprentices so no single domain has
             a surplus of apprentices and common folk.  It isn't unlike
             Katai who has considered limits on family size and turned
             a blind eye to disease for population control.  A land like
             Katai is overgrown with peasants.]

            [Near 10am on the 13th, Unali notices a group of 3 near the lake
             district demonstrating their spells.  One appears to be a master
             and two apprentices or would be apprentices.  Based on their
             dress and colors they seem to be Chaos oriented.  She watches
             as the master demonstrates a spell he calls Critical Strike.
             In doing so he releases a poor adult male from a trance like
             state and the human goes into a fighting stance.  The master
             then casts the critical strike spell.  The human standing
             in chainmail in a hand to hand fighting stance waits.  The
             chaos master studies the man for a few seconds then nods.
             With one quick swift kick the master kicks the slave in the
             chest where he learned the armor is weak.  The slave goes
             flying backwards.  Soon after the group examines the armor
             and finds the chain in that area unbinding and coming
             apart where the chain was the most weakest.  But it would
             not have been seen without the spell.  The master demonstrates
             it can be used on magical armor and beasts with powerful
             defenses.  Unali listens and watches and realizes the spell
             could be quite useful for magic users.]

            [The last few days before the meeting Unali isn't seen much by
             the party in passing.  It isn't clear if she goes into the
             forest or into some building.  But she is only seen at night
             those few days.]

        Actions? Comments?

        Next Update...Friday.  

        GM: I'm 6/9ths done with the IBT actions.  Next in the queue is
            Z'leyra.  While her IBT is small the character sheet usually
            takes 2-4 days to update.  So that'll be the bulk of the time
            and only a day for IBT actions.  Arawn if you want to settle
            your actions you have about a week.  I'll likely scan your
            stuff this weekend. Send comments/questions then.  Do
            we have any takers to teach Tongue of Sidh to Raban? It
            might be sacred to some (Sidh) or not.  So I don't want
            to just "give" it away.  Arawn looks like with schedule issues
            won't have time to work on Z'leyra's IBT till at least 9
            days.  So you will be moved up in the Queue.  If you can get
            the final results it done if you have any changes.  If none
            then I'll process it asap. Thanks.

            Slots left: 1 

            Note: Remember this is STARTING ELs.  So not max.  But
            its a start.  Slot 12 is still empty.  Sign up or Chion
            can take that with a particular request?  There will be
            more time during the adventure. 

            *** ONE SLOT LEFT ***

            *** Raban wants to learn Tongue of Sidh.  Since it is
            supernatural that tends to be a bit more Sacred like.
            If someone wants to teach him that I'll put him in for
            slot #12.  If so let me know.  I figure some may not
            want supernatural tongues revealed much less given out freely.
            So its optional.
