From Z'leyra: [Re: Actions] Grasping her staff, Z'leyra casts the Sidh spell Sleep Mist EL0 thru the staff onto the insects and other intruders such as the bats if she can while avoiding casting it on people. GM: Ack. Would've been good for action wise but too late came in too late to deal with. :< From Z'leyra: [Re: Actions] Seeing that Raban could use some help Z'leyra casts the Balance spell Speed on herself at max EL and rushes to aid Raban. There she will hit apes with her staff to subdue them. GM: Ack. ------------------------------------------------------------ [New Stuff] [Octagi 5th, 1634TH] [Location: Plains, Donara] [Time: 7:33:00 pm - Donara City] Fremea keeps feeling for her knife and glad to have the weight of her bow on her. She follows, but cautiously, wanting to end this mad little one, even though he is Fae and she knows the sacred rule, but he is also mad and seems to think she is on his side, even if it is just a little bit right now. "So I'm sure you are curious how your parents got here?" Varange stops and raises the lantern slightly so his eyes can be seen. Fremea can see dark blue-gray eyes. "The Royals figured you had a great destiny. It was not rare to have a marked one much less two of us then. In fact there have been many. Most have been loyal and dedicated to the cause. The Royals have been set in their ways for way too long. Some in the court felt as I do now then. I actually was very loyal and still am. Raised to be the human like knight of our people. I earned my title with hard work. Rumors spread that maybe the time was good for change. That with both of us we could lead our people to greatness. A glory that should already be earned not some myth of yester year. Some of the court plotted. I was young so did not know the ways of politics. But I learned this only a few years ago. Seemed they felt that emotional ties for you...by your parents. Would be a bad thing - a liability. So they arranged for a fire. Now we are cursed or blessed depending on your view of our sacred rule of no harm. So they got outside help. After forcing your parents to the great forest to stay away from you they did this. But the Royal Scholar the lowly librarian felt that your parents would be a good thing to keep. He hired more outside help to rescue them. But not for your own good. He captured and kept them safe for some time deep in the great forest. Then he came across the magical items I seek. The long hidden archives so deep that even the royals probably forgot them. He saw opportunity. He learned this place could not be accessed by us so tricked a Elf to bring your parents here for safe keeping. Too bad he was disposed of. The sacred rule doesn't keep the elves safe from us. Though there is some mixture of bad blood if things like that are done." He waves a hand dismissively in the air. He continues down the tunnel, "the scholar was clever as he didn't seem to alert the higher ups in the Elf clans of his plot. I suspect if they knew he'd be stopped. Unless he traded something for it. Don't know. "The scholar is no warrior. He may be smart but he has no long sight. I learned of his plot and sought the items myself. Course I suspect he knows and wants me to get everything then turn them over." The Lord Marshall laughs loudly. "Well we shall see if he can deal with me. But he learned the last piece was here but could not locate the others. But he was dismayed to find it would take two of us to get it. Something like a mark he never had would block his plans." "So tell me that big oaf friend of yours. He ever...you know..." He waves two fingers around suggestively. ------------ [Time: 7:28:06 pm - Donara City] [Phase 3] Z'leyra casts speed on herself to improve her running pace. Flying outside near the dogs, Corona tries to use his flare eyes on a dog. But the blast fails to hit the dog. Squirt tries to bite down on one dog's leg but the dog is just agile enough to miss the sharp teeth. The wolf fights back biting one dog doing 9 points of damage but the dog is still alive. Two of the dogs lunge for Will. Both get to bite and clamp down. One though does not penetrate his buckskin armor. The other dog bites Will on the right middle ribs which is a hard place for a dog to bite doing 3 points of damage. One dog tries to bite Squirt but the small animal is too fast. Two of the dogs attack the wolf and do each 5 and 3 more points of damage wounding him badly. Raban side steps away from the apes directly in front of him. He moves toward the right ape #3 and ducks claws at his head. Ducking he reaches down with his large arms and grabs the ape's right leg while using his left leg to trip the ape. The Ape falls down and Raban pushes with his foot and his bare strength the leg. The strength is enormous and Raban rips the ape's leg completely off from his hip doing 31 points of damage killing the ape instantly. Blood gushes in every direction causing some patrons to scream at the sight. Unali sees the three Spikers seeming to stalk a set of 3 patrons trying to run toward the bar. She moves in that directions to try to prevent this. Arawn continues toward the bar with shield and sword in hand. Reaching the nearest bar stool he uses it to raise himself up and over the bar top jumping behind the bar. Kell runs forward and moves past the dead ape and pool of blood. He considered using magic but a whirlwind or other spells might do more damage to the place than wanted and the group has to remain not as overt. So he pulls his small tulwar and tries to stab the second ape. But the tough hide allows only a small scratch to it. The last two apes now attack. The one near Kell considers him not a threat so both attack Raban. One tries to jump over Raban as he is ducking but as he does the ape goes flying over as Raban moves to the side causing the ape to fumble in his action badly. The other ape misses Raban entirely. Kiet scans the table but sees no more threats. The scorpions will be just a nuisance that will have to be dealt. But the insects and snakes are all gone. He runs north toward the Spikers and behind Unali. One of the spikers in the middle charges the three patrons and tries to swing his spiked club at her But her friend pulls her forward just out of reach allowing the club to miss her by half a inch. Etain rushes the boy toward the bar. But he sees the patrons being attacked by the Spikers and nods toward the bar. He then runs to join Unali and Kiet. The other two spikers charge the three patrons and one hits the brave customer who tried to help the woman. But the club and hit is so massive it goes deep into his chest killing the patron instantly. The other fails to hit another patron. Will sees his wolf seriously wounded and stabs one dog with his sword killing the already wounded dog. As Will looks up another shadow from the darkness moves behind the man who led the dogs. Suddenly the man tenses as a blade is stabbed through his back. The man falls to his knee clutching his chest. The patrons all move in their somewhat random way toward the bar. The two who were just attacked by the spikers move a bit faster toward the bar in sheer panic. [Time: 7:28:09 pm - Donara City] [Phase 4] Corona blasts the wounded dog Will hurt and kills him. The Wolf in his weakened state tries to attack another dog but does not make any contact. Squirt bites hard on one of the dog's legs doing 6 points of searing pain. The last 3 dogs attack. Two try for Will again but one does bite his leg doing 2 more points. The others fails to make contact on Will and the wolf. With the severed leg of the dead ape Raban turns and uses it as a club against the first ape. The arm shatters in a mess of bone, fur and tissue as it breaks apart from his bash. But the blow is slight and does little to the ape. Unali reaches the edge of the spikers and tries to swipe at them from a bit of 3 feet. But the daggers fail to hit the nearest one. Arawn runs through the door to the kitchen. Immediately the smells and sounds indicate as a obvious kitchen. There are typical items like shelves, stove, cupboards, tables, water basin and sink. The room is 60 feet long by about 35 wide. The room is somewhat dimly lit by a couple of lanterns on the wall. A door to the outside is closed now but from the outside it was well hidden so as not to be obvious to patrons. There are three humans. Two males are on the floor. One looks like he has been stabbed by something. The other shows no sign of clear wounds but is not moving. The female is on the left from where Arawn is and blinking and trying to breath. She looks to be a waitress. The only problem is she is hanging on a steel hook. The hook looks like a place to hang animals for flaying or cleaning. The hook is pointing out of her front between her breasts. Blood is pouring down her chest wound to pool on the floor. The female sees Arawn and tries to speak but her breath is shallow a clear sign of near death. She eyes the druid with pleading eyes but her bloody hands are around the hook in her chest. She is sitting on a table rather than hanging as it she sat back onto the hook. "Hel-..." She coughs up blood. "Still...around." Then her hands slip to her lap and her eyes close. Kell stabs Ape #2 doing a few points through his side. Ape #2 claws at Raban but his armor protects him. But Ape #1 claws at the giant and slashes a deep gash on his neck almost ear to eat. The giant takes 13 points of damage. Z'leyra runs forward seeing Raban hurt and gets behind Ape #1 swinging her staff doing 6 points of damage to his back. Kiet runs forward to help Unali. He ends up about 35 or so feet from the Spikers. He smiles and raises both hands toward the men. The three spikers turn their attention from the patrons and eye Unali. They all swing their spiked clubs but she dodges and weaves as the blows get close. The luck of her dagger helps. Will stabs another dog for 5 more damage as he watches the man fall to his knees a bit confused. The man in shadow swings his blade and slices the man in front of Will on his neck finishing him off. The man falls to the ground dead. The patrons move and some make it to the bar area to hide. Actions? Comments? Next update...Friday GM: Sorry for delay but was out of my control. I know who to blame though. I'll do the next 2 phases on Wednesday. Since this is late no time to turn around another. So I will work on the Friday update Wednesday afternoon (Thursdays tend to be hectic to work on it). At this point 2 Apes remain, 3 spikers and 3 dogs outside. Raban and Wolf are hurt badly. I pretty much know what folks will do at this point. So I may just need actions from Arawn and Z'leyra if need to change tactics. Raban will probably be disengaging the apes due to his neck wound. So far 1 customer dead, possibly 3 staff in kitchen all dead but not positive. Most patrons are moving toward the bar. Only 3 for some reason at S14 are sitting at the table by fireplace. They are still eating as if this is a floor show but they are not in dangerous as at least 50 feet from apes and 80 or so feet from the spikers. All three are young males who just seem disinterested. Arawn - If you need a better desciption of Kitchen let me know I'll email them before Wednesday. I will do the mana report after the combat.
