Then he walks back to ozon's lifeless body and begins to drag it back to the warehouse. Kiet is actually disappointed in having to kill the thief as he had plans for wringing information out of him before his demise. But Kiet wasn't about to let him get away. Once back to the warehouse, it's time to loot the body! Oh, wait.. .we gotta free Kell and Will. I guess looting will just have to wait. But drag the body in the door, at least. GM: Ack. From Unali: [Re: Actions] Unali realises that the necklaces must mean the apes were controlled in some way. She points to the paes and necklaces. Unali to the others: "They were controlled. I don't seen anyone nearby. You spot someone?" If Fremea ponts out the mana spot, Unali will rush there and see if there are any traces to follow and where the caster could have gone to. She will try to follow whoever sent the apes. GM: Ack. From FremeA: [Re: Actions] Seeing Raban down for no reason and finding this spot of magic ...here that did it. "Z, there was magic cast on Raban,... GM: Ack. From Z'leyra: [Re: Actions] Checking Raban with her skills Z'leyra determines that some magic effect is blocking his lungs. Using her Spell Chain and Staff she attempts to dispel the magic with a maximum EL dispel/banish. If it doesn't work she will cast a max EL Purification and try again. After the magic is gone she will help Raban to restart breathing (Ooh! He gets his kiss.) And patch and, if he wants, magically heal him. GM: Ack. -------------------------------------------------------------- [New Stuff] [Sepes 29th, 1634TH] [Location: City of Samma, Donara] [Time: 1:49:33 am - Military Center] Z'leyra continues to examine the gentle giant. Unali notices the necklaces and determines they must be control devices. That or they are protection against magic. The party has encountered at least two Kotothi shamns in the past. The last one who was agile and could jump like a frog from his abilities was in the forest. If it is a wizard it would be unusual but if Kotothi it would fit a shaman's typical actions. Unali speaks out loud, "They were controlled. I don't seen anyone nearby. You spot someone?" Fremea just glances at Jordi and she is evidently distracted by Raban's situation. Seeing Raban down for no reason and finding this spot of magic having been cast, she quickly surmises that it was whoever was here that did it. "Z, there was magic cast on Raban, I don't know what, but it was intense." She will look at any possible clues to what alignment and how powerful. "There was someone here that did it." Pointing at the spot that she senses it to be. Z'leyra glances over briefly but returns her attention back to the wounded Bard. Unali joins Fremea at the spot for clues. Jordi comes along and watches. He does sense magic was here and fading. But he figures this was the party. then he realizes what Fremea mentions. Jordi and Unali move down the hall to find the person who might be around. There is a very faint musk scent in the hall not from Jordi sweating in the run but likely the person. Fremea wish to go along but her concern for Raban seems to dictator her emotions. Z'leyra grabs her chain from her satchel and begins to cast a dispel spell. She is unsure what alignment it could be so tries Chaos. Assuming a bad guy she has to figure that might work. She casts the spell words and sees Raban is still gurgling and rasping. She can see the life leaving him as the giant chest sags for every second that passes. She estimated at most he has ten seconds to live. Maybe 20 if things are better. The shaman realizes if not Choas then maybe Kotothi. That might explain the apes as well. She speaks the words of Elder rites and waits. A few seconds later the rasping breathing stops . Fremea sighs with relief at the aura of magic fades from his neck. Z'leyra begins to work to revive and cure the giant. Down the hall the two move quickly down the dark corridor. They are on the hallway south of the hallway the others are in. They find a intersection. Going north, south and east. If the party was to the north they just take it hoping the man or person will double back. Both men move north toward the stairs that Fremea used used to go upstair. Z'leyra uses the breath of life to help Raban. It doesn't take long before his breathing is back into place. She examines him and finds no physical damage. At least on the outside but his lungs are probably in major damage. There is no telling how much energy the giant lost but from he probably lost half his life energy and health with ease. Down the hall on the east side Unali and Jordi see a person descend the stairs. Jordi raises his sword and steps forward. But Unali stops him. She sees Etain coming down the stairs. "Did you see anyone else?" Jordi asks once he figures this Elf must be an ally. "No. Just Varange." The Etain looks dismayed and looks around. Unali reels from the news. Varange? Here? Last time she saw him was maybe 2 years ago? The arrogant Faerry was worse than Thig. What is going on here? Fremea flies down to join the others. Jordi looks up the stairs. "If the person could be hidden from you guys then he could be anywhere in this building. Many rooms. It could take time but we can search room by room?" Fremea knows that Varange escaped though if he is arrogant enough to watch he might be still around. But his words that Will and Kell are in danger seem to shake her back to wondering where they are. If on cue Squirt runs down the stairs and circles around Fremea's legs. Unali looks down at the beast and recalls the words Kiet sent in his spell that Will and Kell are in danger but did not send much details. Down the hall Raban waves Z'leyra off. He licks his lips. "Tasty. Eat biscuits with salt today?" Z'leyra shoves him in the shoulder slightly and asks if he can stand. "I'm weak. But ...where..oh...good. All okay?... I see. Yes I can stand. We can deal with my injury later if need be. Let's finish this and find the missing item." Raban struggles to stand. Z'leyra dares not help or she would be crushed. The giant takes a few steps and then moves down the hall to join Fremea. Raban with weakened steps asks Fremea. "Did you find the piece?" Outside in the west Korlic enters the forest. he knows his pets are dead. But he can get more. He senses a presence in the trees. "Did you get what you wanted?" He asks in his scratchy voice. Sitting in a tree Varange dangles his feet with some joy. "Yes." "Let's go back in and finish this." "No. We will deal with them later. I made a promise to meet her in two weeks. It is up to her if she does." "Give me the piece." Varange laughs. "It is useless without the final piece. We shall have it in a couple weeks." Varnge stands on the limb. Then he flies up into the skies. "You know the place. Deal with him then get back to me." Korlic grits his teeth in anger. ----------------- [Time: 1:49:58 am - Samma city, Donara] [Ozon's Warehouse - Phase 10] Kiet starts to drag Ozon back o the warehouse. Inside the faerry swarm the hapless guard in the cage. They punch, claw, hit with wings and feet and one sta`bs at with his own sword. Outside the cage Arawn can't risk finishing off the last guard without hitting others. He considers fascinationo but it is clear the end is near. He considers dropping his invisibility spell but would need a spell to end it. He looks around for any other guards but sees no one. In seconds the faerry finish the guard off with a few stabs and neck claw swipes. They continue to pummel the dead guard in anger. Arawn speaks in Faerry Sidh, "There was another guard," he informed them. "Keep a watch while I see to my friends in the cage." Inside the cage the Faerry look toward the voice in the air then realize it may be the one who freed them. They silently exit the cage and look around. Two tending to the dead faerry. Inside the cage Kell mumbles, "Will the party end." Arawn grins a bit on hearing the half-Elf's voice. Guess he thought the fae were partying. Kiet enters the door dragging the thief through the threshold. This startles a couple Faerry who realize the voice must be someone else. Seeing the thief the thief the Faerry curse and shout. Several pick up the dead guard's swords and fly toward the thief. Kiet seeing this horde of flying wings decides to get out of the way as the Faerry descend on the dead thief to seek revenge. Kell sits up as Will begins to rouse up slowly. "The one who freed you, is he alright?" Arawn asks to the Faerry outside the cage not seeing what they are doing. Then Arawn looks up to see Kiet step up at the cage door and realizes his answer. Will finally looks up and realizes what is going on. One minute he was in the hotel room the next here in this cage. Upstairs the documents that Kiet ignored finish their burning. The documents that contained the location of other Faerry slaves. Location of loot caches. Information on fences, local government officials bribed into service and location of stolen items go up in flames. But Ozon was a careful man. He had a plan in case the local guards stormed the place. The plan is already smoking down the hole. The basket on fire triggers a wick and fuse on the table. The fuse burns toward the wall and inside a cut small shaft. The slow moving fuse runs up the length of the inside wall. It reaches the ceiling of the first floor and moves along the floor, the roof in the first floor, toward the center of the room. Just above the open barrel of massive oil in the center of the room. The first to see the smoke is Kiet. He eyes the roof and sees it moving fast. Kell then notices. Kell can smell the oil. though he is groggy he figures it out. "Run!" Time seems to slow as the Faerry look back at the half-Elf. Will now on his feet is unsure what he just said but seems to be desperate. That is when the fuse reaches the center of the ceiling. A few sparks fly and this cuts the hanging burning lantern to fall. Arawn considers his options he could do some fancy magic but time is almost up. The Faerry seeing freedom at the door flies toward the front door with the dead Faerry. Kell reaches the door second. Kiet with his boots still active runs past him. Arawn and Will try to make it to the door just as the lantern hits the oil. A very loud flash of light then a shock wave as the explosion shoots mostly upwards. The burning oil hits the ceiling and then divides in every direction in the room. Upstairs the other barrels full of Naptha and oil also explode from their own fuses. Will shoves Arawn toward the door as the fiery oil begins to rain down. Kiet reaches for Arawn just as the oil hits the area of the door. But Will is still groggy and is hit by the oil. He is shoved forward with his back on fire. Arawn in horror looks back to see Will hit the threshold of the door just as other barrels and wood explode. The place will be in total blaze in moments. Actions? Comments? Next Update...Monday... GM: Wow. Ok. I was not expecting that. I knew the trap was set. But the rolls just were bad for Will. Sorry! What to do now? Sorry for delay was busy Monday night. Arawn - I know use magic to save day. But your attention was too distracted to not see it. Z'leyra - Couldn't use Purification as if did the time might've killed Raban. So it was a Int judgement roll to see if should use the time to save him or not.
