If she notices what is happening over near the shaper's body she will warn the rest of the party and switch to staff when the Vong are down while triggering her boots again, hoping that they have another charge of Speed in them so that she can deal with this new threat quicker as she runs towards it. GM: Ack. As to healing well sometimes a field healer will need to heal right away. :) As to the Shaper scene can't see it from your position as he is invisible. From Fremea: [Re: Actions] Fremea sees Raban stomp on the leaders head, making it mush, and smiles. Then as the other Vong stabs Raban in the kidneys, she gets very angry and stabs the Vong with her dagger, unless Raban takes him out too fast for her. If that vong is dead she will scan for any other voids, just in case there is another shaper she didn't see before. If she sees one, she will take it out. GM: Ack. -------------------------------------------------------------- [New Stuff] [Augado 10th, 1634TH] [Location: Middle Katai Plains] [ Mountains west of Pamau] [Time: 3:26:53pm] With the tide of battle changing at the death of Shimara, Fremea is eager to finish things. She smiles at the mess that was once Shimara's skull. Too bad Raban had to ruin a perfectly fine boot. But then she sees Raban stabbed from the back. She can't see where but the giant winces in pain and it seems to be a bad hit. She can sense the giant is badly wounded all over. Another hit like that could kill him. She shakes her head mentally at the thought that something could kill that big guy. Flying past and around to the rear of Raban she raises her dagger to strike the Vong. She hovers just to the right of Z'leyra and stabs Warrior #10 in the back doing 3 points of damage. Raban feels a suddenly pressure on his back as something hits his back then slides down. He twists in a bit of pain and notices the warrior is falling off his back. Twisting fully he grabs the warrior. but the warrior doesn't seem to resist. Raban grabs the warrior by the neck and left side of his ribs and lifts him up over his head. The warrior seems rather limp for some reason. Raban turns back toward the pit which is only about 6 feet away and throws him into the pit. The warrior goes flying over the edge and slams into 3 of the spikes killing him by impaling him in his chest. Then Raban collapses to the ground on his right leg. Feeling exhausted the giant then sags to the left hoping that no one is on that side or it might be in the way. Raban falls to the ground with him looking at the ceiling on his back. He looks to the right and smiles at Shimara's corpse. This his eyes flutter. Unali runs forward to help the last Vong to be killed. She slips behind Lin just on the very edge of the pit. Normally a person might not risk a fall. But with her agile acrobatic skills she easily traverses the pit edge. Coming around Lin she stands behind Vong #9. She stabs both daggers at her back but only does 2 and 1 points of damage. Farseeker is a big man so does not risk skipping along the side of the pit. He runs past the line of allies like Chinn and Kiet. Another second he'll be able to round the corner to attack but right now can't reach the Vong. Both Chion and Ben'dar try to attack the warriors in front of them but fail to hit the agile warriors. Arawn scans the cave for targets. Then he notices the cloaked Vong moving over something on the ground. Suddenly Omini taps the creature on the ground. The Shaper Mother had planned to have more in here. but Shimara ordered them to be used to attack while the enemy were attacking the Brain. All the fool warriors were killed. But this last one was for her. Omini still invisible taps the neck of the flat creature. Suddenly the creature unfurls its long wings and begins to hover. Omini not being as deft as a warrior climbs on. Placing feet onto the creature's back makes the mental connection. Omini orders the mini flyer to lift and leave now! Flapping faster than most humans can count in a second the flyer rises and lifts. It moves toward the cave entrance just in time to see Arawn waving his arms. The invisible Omini smiles as there is no one who can stop him. Arawn gestures to the invisible Omini. "We mean no harm to the Outcasts! Please! Help both our worlds!" But Omini continues moving past Arawn as quick as a song bird fleeing a cat. Omini hears the words but does not trust him. Why save this world? Then he sees Unali's brother. The Outcast knows he has no weapon but uses the flyer as a weapon. Guiding it toward the man who is now standing he tries to knock the man over the edge of the railing. But at the last second the man jumps to the ground and slams flat to avoid the collision. Omini then continues past the railing and moving fast to the Brain cave. He can smell the odor of escape. Of course he also smells the odor of sulfur. Looking down it seems the Brain must've ordered the creature to open the lava tubes. It looks like the first set of homes are a blaze as well as most of the Flyers on the ground. But he doesn't need those he just needs the portal. Kell stabs Vong #8 doing 8 points of damage in his stomach. Lin thrusts and hits Vong #9 doing 6 points of damage into his left ribs. Vong #9 stabs Lin in the middle left chest doing 4 more points to the military man. Vong #8 hits Kell in the center chest but his armor protects against the amphistaff attack. The other Vong fails to hit Ben'dar. Z'leyra sees the Vong tossed into the pit. She can also see the bugs still swarming out and going to the north west of the cave away from something. The bugs seem to pass Raban but begin to quickly swarm over Shimara but then leave as if still compelled over the spell or something. So it seems the bugs only attack dead things. Z'leyra leans down to check Raban's pulse. It is strong but it is clear he is weak. Looking to the last Vong nearby she counts 6 allies and a few more coming. So that would be 3 to 1 ones on them. They should be dealt with. So Z'leyra turns to check Will. Caladan runs past Chion, Ben'dar, Kell and Kiet. Rounding the corner he ends up behind Vong #8 fighting Kell. HE swings his war staff but the warrior ducks just in time to miss the blow. Kiet moves around Kell and moves south of Vong #8 so he can throw a rope. ---------------- [Time: 3:26:56pm] Kiet forms a lasso over his head and casts the spell onto the rope. Then he throws it at the Vong only a few feet away. It lands a foot away from the right boot. But the rope leaps with the help of the spell toward the warrior's legs. It begins to wrap around the right leg but the other leg is too far apart so the rope can't reach it. Fremea sees the mini warrior flyer fly out of the cave. She gives chase and flies after it. But it seems the flyer is rather fast and has about 50 feet head start. She ends up at the threshold of the cave seeing the prisoner peer up to see if the enemy is gone. Raban looks up and to the left to see Will being checked by Z'leyra. Glad that the woodsman is finally being helped. He can feel blood on his back and figures another nice set of clothing ruined. But he smiles content at the outcome that has happened. If he dies here it will be with honor. Unali stabs the wounded Vong #9 doing a massive strike against his lungs killing him with her magical dagger. Farseeker round Kell and gets to the right side of Vong #8 just roped by Farseeker. He sees the rope caught on one leg and use his strong right leg to trip the warrior. As he does this he stabs with his great sword doing 2 points of damage. Both Chion and Ben'dar again try to hit Vong #7 but both miss. Arawn runs to the railing and watches the flyer moving toward the east. The spell active in his mind link nudges him that the outcast is likely either going to invoke the Brain in some last ditch stand or flee. There can only be two options here. Arawn turns to help the prisoner up to his feet once more. Arawn can see the man doing much better now. Kell stabs the Vong who is on knee with his spear doing 6 more points to him. Lin comes to help against #7 but fails to hit. The last two Vong both try to attack Ben'dar and Kell. Both attacks fail to make contact however. Z'lyera places her sword on the ground and inspects Will. There is no pulse at all. The body is still warm so it had to be recent. But for how long? Can he be saved? She tries to search for the worst wound but the bloody armor is too thick. then she finds the hole created by what seems like acid? The wound is deep and has stopped bleeding. She glances over at Raban and can see he is still awake so figures Will needs the help the most. Caladan bashes Vong #8's head with his staff doing 8 more points to his neck and shoulders. Kiet sees the Vong fall thanks to Farseeker. The Vong is down on one knee with Farseeker, Caladan and Kell surrounding him. Kiet feels brave and approaches. He stabs the creature with his dagger doing 1 more point to the warrior in the right arm. ---------------- [Time: 3:26:59pm] Fremea flies toward Arawn at the railing and looks out. She can see the flyer moving fast. She glances over at Arawn and then gives chase. But the flyer seems even faster than her. Raban looks up at Z'leyra and sees concern in her eyes wondering if Will is all well. Unali steps over to attack #7 and both daggers hit him doing 18 to his shoulder with her magical dagger and 6 more with her normal dagger on his left ribs. Farseeker impales the entangled Vong doing the final damage to kill him. Ben'dar stabs the last Vong in the chest doing 2 more points of damage knocking him out. Kell tries to stab the last Vong but can't get to him with others in the way. Lin does the final damage to kill the unconscious warrior by a quick thrust with his sword. ------------ [Time: 3:27:02pm - Current time] Actions? Comments? Next Update....Friday... GM: The combat is over! Now what to do? Half the party is bad off mana and health wise. I just wanted to finish the combat so added that 3rd phase. We still have folks to heal and that time limit to still solve with the Brain. So post your actions. Will go a bit slow while we figure out while things go, so updates may be small. If we work fast we could try to end the adventure by the new year? OR at least till 12/21 when the world explodes Next update I will run some stats on things like who had the best CEPs or such. :) Once we resolve the brain thing then it will just be a matter of escape the mountain and Katai. Once back in Marentia adventure will end. Mana report updated. I will be making the current mana report a link on the site above the current one. That way it will be archives. Then I'll clean up the current one and form up the stats but make it less cluttered So who has the MVP award for top mep? cep? :) As to those who are wounded like Will or such. Let me know if you want another healing. The number of healings are in the report. Some 1 or 2 already. If you would like to know the risk % I can calc it and email you the chance for death. If you wish to be magically healed let me know so we can just get one step ahead. But post your actions. GM: Notes - Arawn - with the late post I had to merge it in. Changed a few things with Omini's escape. But hope the edit is good as I didn't check line for line. Kiet - I know a risk to get close to a bad guy! But I figure with him 5 or so to 1 it was worth the risk. :) Plus need some experience. :) Fremea - Got about 1.5 minutes left of Inviso spell. Arawn - Fremea - I will allow this third phase to do a quick retro action since this escape was quick. The second phase where he almost ran over Arawn nothing could be done. But 3 seconds can. Keep in mind though that it can't afford his escape to this point. So if you try to do a spell to capture him it would affect the above so might not do. But if wanted to do a side spell to affect something else or action then that can be done. A bit hard to explain with only 3 seconds but ask if still confused. A oblivion spell on him might be too slow to act. But if you say threw a stone right in front of him on 3rd phase then that will be allowed. It doesn't affect the above outcome but will affect the future. Got it?
