"Dammit Jim, I'm a mage, not a swordsman!" GM: Ack. no mention of that being OOC so will include in text. :) From Arawn: [Re: Actions] OOC: Sorry for not responding to Will's post earlier. I've been juggling a few things lately so haven't been checking emails as frequently as I normally do. OOC: Scott, in reply to the question regarding Invisibility spells and Mana Sensing, would that detect someone who's invisible and, if so, about how well would it be able to pinpoint location? Arawn returned Farseeker's gaze with a stoic expression, remaining silent before turning to respond to Will's question." I do," he replied. "All ill-fitting for such a deep cave. .... GM: Ack. Same with busy stuff on this new computer workup. As to Inviso. Well its sensed like a mana blob. As if you are looking out a courtyard of bushes. You sense the mana from the lifeforce of the plants. You get a general sense of that. But so do bees or birds or even non-mana sensors as they can sense the bushes by the noise and deduction. So in a round about way this depends. Its mainly on the environment around. If a inviso is hidden in a forest full of mega mana "stuff" then it would be blended in. But a guy in a hallway with nothing but painted walls and ground with little influence like a mana free zone like in Pavassa then no it wouldn't be easy to track it. For desert where the heat clouds the senses that same blob migth be like a heat blob and confused with a possible mana blob. So it depends. But if a person is hanging on a rope 20 fee off the ground and the nearest mana source is like a tree 30 feet away and he's up above the ground and ceiling 50 feet then it would be easy to find the blob. Because the blob isn't blinded or confused. Skill and EL and other factors add in. A natural mana sensors would have easier time than one that uses a mana spell. ----------------------------------------------------------------- [New Stuff] [Augado 10th, 1634TH] [Location: Middle Katai Plains] [ Mountains west of Pamau] [Time: few moments earlier] As others prepares actions for inside the cave some discuss their tactics outloud like using bird signals. Arawn listens to Farseeker's suggestion on tactics and the plea about prisoners. Something comes to mind as he packs up the map. Arawn returned Farseeker's gaze with a stoic expression, remaining silent before turning to respond to Will's question. "I do," he replied. "All ill-fitting for such a deep cave. With the current plan, however, It seems it won't be needed. Perhaps later in the mission." He gave Will an odd look as he added, "Maybe after this is all over I can share with you what I know. You'd be surprised at what birds can express in a simple call. But we can discuss that later." Will listens to Arawn and realizes the man likes talking to animals. First horses and Will assumes now birds. These Elf folks are a bit odd. But Will watches Captain Lin closely as the others talk about tactics. Before Unali slips out of the small inner cave, Arawn pulls her aside and whispers a few things to her. Unali nods and then slips out of the cave. Kiet taps his few strands of ropes on his hip and demonstrates his intent to use the ropes. This doesn't surprise Captain Lin as some of the best stealth guards use ropes. But then Kiet speaks out loud, "Dammit Jim, I'm a mage, not a swordsman!" This makes everyone go silent instantly. Some take it as a joke but then they don't know who Jim is. But as the others just take it as a joke, one does not. Captain Lin raises his sword faster than Kiet can even see it slip from his scabbard. The man is quick. The sword is lowered to Kiet's chest and the Captain scowls. Zhou stammers for a few seconds. These fools are really wanting to kill Lin now or lose his help from his friends. Zhou may not be skilled in some things but he is trained in some words. "He was teasing!" He waves his hands in hopes Kiet isn't killed in the instant it could take to pierce his skin. Some grab their own weapons and prepare to kill but Lin seems so fast he could kill Kiet before Lin is killed. Zhou tries to continue, "he is from Lemasa. My house hired him as a servant. They may not be so bright as Katai folks here. But in his land those vile mages are around and its like a slur to them." Kiet stares at the shiny sword at his chest and considers using his ropes or even trying a spell. But he could be dead before that happened. Kiet looks up to Captain Lin's dark eyes and stares back. Captain Lin glances back at Zhou briefly and then back at Kiet. "We have such slurs here. But we don't do such things in mixed company. Especially those below our station." Captain Lin steps back and lowers his sword. He moves toward the slit after the first few leave from the cave. But this time he watches his back. Zhou glares back at Kiet and rushes after Captain Lin in hopes to calm things down. Will glances at Kiet with an amused look. But now Will has even more need to watch the Captain. Kell is already outside so missed the fun. But Will and Kiet now realize how the man likely will react. They realize that he would likely fight back. That might be foolish but the skilled fight might just be better than he looks and could take one or two with him before he is killed. [Time: 12:50am] Actions? Comments? Next Update....Monday... GM: Small update. Need to get this out. Since had short notice from last update it will do for now. Mainly worked on the mana chart and that's a lot of the behind scenes stuff. AT the bottom is how it will look and will be placed on website. It won't be posted again unless after major scenes of combat and a mini version. So monday is next update.
