If so she will do so. GM: Ack. Well can inspect but a gem dealer tends to use the best gems for such things and so cutting them before the dealer does could in some cases reduce the value. Plus with all the gems it would take a lot of time to do so maybe a day or two if you set in jewelry or such. So its just more efficient to sell as pure gems - Kell suggests this. From Arawn: [Re: Actions] After getting the location of the village and the contact's name Arawn gave his thanks to Corona and the faerries before bidding them a safe flight. He wondered if he might once again see the latter but was content in knowing of their contacts in Riverdell. And knowing of the village's gossip-monger might prove useful if the party's path leads through the settlement. Conversation with Etain and Fremea: "Etain's right, your passions can give you strength but... OOC: If Fremea is open to this Arawn will begin working with her daily/nightly, basically whenever time permits. Checking on Etain: As Arawn tends to be sensitive to his environment and prone to checking in on others I imagine he might pick up on Etain's discomfort. He'll head over to the elf and look over his wounds and is prepared to mix something up using his Herbalist and Healer (Elf) skill to alleviate his headache/ hangover. GM: Ack. From Fremea: [Re: Actions] Fremea shakes her head at all the different business to be attended to. "The tasks a head of us are many and though ... GM: Ack. I changed the time. I didn't realize you did that once party came back. I placed it the next morning. So I changed night to day. In fact this is a good comment. When folks reply if you use the time marks I give that can le time know when the comment is done. Otherwise I tend to have to guess when its done. Its NOT mandatory but it does help. -------------------------------------------------------------- [New Stuff] [Sepes 29th, 1634TH] [Location: City of Samma, Donara] [Time: 3:28:10 am - Samma city, Donara] The conversation between Etain, Fremea and Arawn seems to draw the night on. As Etain speaks it is clear Fremea is more irritated than ever at things. Arawn speaks up after a long pause to figure out the best way to phrase things. "Etain's right, your passions can give you strength but don't allow them to control you. We should continue the meditations we had started a couple of days ago, to center yourself and, hopefully, grant insight and healing. And if you're lucky you might even be able to turn the connection against Varange." ---------- [Time: 6:32:51 am - Samma city, Donara] After waking up the group assembles downstairs to eat breakfast. Some remain in their rooms to treat any wounds. One such group is Etain and Arawn. As Arawn tends to be sensitive to his environment and prone to checking in on others I imagine he might pick up on Etain's discomfort. He'll head over to the elf and look over his wounds and is prepared to mix something up using his Herbalist and Healer (Elf) skill to alleviate his headache/ hangover. Etain smiles at the Alfar and considers this scene. A lowly Elf treated by a god's son. If only his child hood friends saw this now. Course then his smile fades when he knows this is the protocol and would be not keen to be known by the gods. Etain stands and just says, "the muscles and ribs a re bit tight. But the healing by Fremea helped. I'll live and should be fine in a day or two." He looks out the window in the dim shadows since the sun has not reached the west side of the inn's alley. "A simple muscle relaxer or such will do." Etain uses some materials from the bar and makes a quick chilling lotion. Etain turns and starts to speak but then stops. This does a few more times. They are alone but it is clear the Elf has something to say. Finally he quickly speaks. "You should not act this way to mere mortals. I should be the one to cater to you. Not the other way around. Your parents would not be happy you doing this." ------------ [Time: 6:43:19 am - Samma city, Donara] At the breakfast table the group talks about the past and the day's activities. Fremea shakes her head at all the different business to be attended to. "The tasks a head of us are many and though some could possibly wait, I believe it best we deal with each of them now or it will more trouble to clean up after. The paths for each us are best. I will pay my slaver a 'nice' visit and help him to understand that value he missed with me. The rescued Fae will carry word back to the villages and hopefully it will get to the right ears about Varange and we will receive other help, though there could be the wrong ears hear it too." She sighs deeply and looks around the room. She even stops on Etain for a second, not feeling much of anything for him any more. "I ran away from all this because I thought I was not important. I wanted nothing more than to just be a Faerry who could come and go as she pleases and hunt and play, to be with my family. Now I see that I was chosen by some force, be they the Gods themselves or other, to play in some role I want nothing of, yet I will choose to do what is necessary. Each one of you have become my family and though I did not believe he ever had my best interest in mind, Etain you are like a father. I understand now that you wanted the best from me, though your tactics seemed harsh." She stops and takes a deep breath and then lets it out slowly, controlling herself. "I will fight for my family and do what I must to make sure you are all safe to do what you are here for." Etain started to drink his ale then stops on the words from his former student. He visibly gulps and places the mug of ale down. Realizing that drinking this time of the morning is not good. He nods to her and remains neutral but a glint of a smile is seen for a very brief second only to know that he acknowledged the comment. "Yes, Arawn, I will take your training. Though Etain started me on the path to being a warrior with no emotions, it seems I must learn how to control them instead of suppress them." Etain begins to speak to that but figures that maybe a balance of emotions and no emotions makes the best of a person. He recalls the conversations with the Royals so long ago. Saying that she should be cold and ruthless. She should be the Sword of the Faerry. A sword as cold as metal itself. Yet it seems a sword can be best tendered with care as well as might. Taking a sip of her small glass of nectar, "Let this day mark the beginning of change for my people and to stop the world being destroyed in another way again." This time she smiled, genuinely and almost with warmth. "Oh, and let us gain riches that rivals kings." Looking at Kiet, she giggles. Raban raises his mug, then Etain then Kell. Soon everyone lifts their mug or glass in a show of support and a good cheer of toast. [Time: 7:01:08 am - Samma city, Donara] With breakfast over the party begins to form their task groups. Kiet, Z'leyra and Etain stay in the inn area to investigate as much as they can on the scrolls found. Kiet is a bit confused why he is here as he can't read Donaran. Nor can Z'leyra. But Etain can do enough. Hours earlier Raban in the suggestion of his groups says the two can be investigators if need be to follow up with local shops or such. Now it is morning and both did not change into other tasks the plan is made. While Etain starts to study the scrolls for tidbits both Kiet and Z'leyra examine the gems and treasure more closely. Fremea in her annoying dress walks side by side with Raban. Both clearly look out of place. But the eyes all seem to go to Raban rather than Fremea. Fremea recalls the places where the slug slaver enjoyed to visit. It has been awhile since she was here in town but maybe she can recall the places. The slaver liked the west side of the city so both head in that directions. Kell and Unali decide that to find the guard the best way is a more direct way. So if they can find info from a local barracks or guard house then the better. After some directions they are given details on a central barracks in the north side of town. They head that way. Arawn and Will head with his pet wolf down the streets. They are looking for the local herb shops. Both are strangers here so they will have to stop and occasionally ask for help. Of course the wolf seems to draw most of the attention. Actions? Comments? Next Update...Friday.. GM: Shorter update than planned. Was going to do more. But brain was shutting down. Better than something than nothing. But the tasks have started. I will be working on update likely Wednesday to get it out by Friday. I will need to do separate time marks for each group. Since one group might be faster while another might be shorter. It will be hard to coordinate it all at same time. So in that regard while group 2 is doing their task 1 may still be halfway through theirs. so at this point it will be assumed each group is distinct. If there is trouble I'll halt the timeline for that purpose and stall the other groups in case rescue is needed. If that makes sense. :) Man times change. Been doing this pbem for 14 years. I could do two updates easy and then play hours of a game. Now get too tired form work and can barely do either. Need to reinforce my Cure Age spell. * For selling the loot task I'll give that to Kell as he may be the best merchant in that regard. If they get their task done they can return t get the loot to sell it and others can join if need be. Time will decide on that. * Treasure. I've removed Z'leyra's claims from Gems since just looking at them. for the next update I will add the items to each character sheet. The Emerald looks like no claim still. The meteorite is still duel claimed so you two need to duel or just figure it out. Unless Tobie decides otherwise. Will assume coins will be personal since o other notes given to donate or such. So after next update will add those to sheets. Gems will be sold as is. If Z'leyra wishes to set them I'll have to research time to do so and make that a different task and the time factor involved. GM: After some email I've come to the results that the mana report needs to be updated. I will explain later. But I was assuming daily limits. not Casting Ability pool levels. Since most aside from 2 have low amounts is not a major deal based on daily casts. For IBT I took it into account. But for the report I guess it will need to be a factor. It will make things a bit more difficult in book keeping but I'll try. Stay tuned.
