But I had to tweak my toys to do so. Why that lady gave you the coin. I just hope the Elves don't get wind of what I'm doing here." As Varange and Fremea walk down the dark tunnel the echoss of their boots crunch on rocks and sand. Fremea can feel her anger building. Maybe this is his game? The long walk to her parents to get her upset and sloppy? She should just fly ahead and deal with it. But she realizes that Arawn's help has done some good. She is able to control her anger much better and this is a secret weapon Varange does not know about at all. "When the Scholar gained entry here they got your parents as prisoners. Well they came willingly. They were duped to think they might find you. But I suspect he wanted your parents as leverage against you." Fremea rolls her eyes as Varange is using her parents as leverage? "But his plans were stopped. His ability to leave Avalon was blocked. The Royals felt him too worthy a resource. So he could not leave as their chief scholar ...plus he knows where the bodies are...so the humans say in that odd saying. Since you never returned he could not put his plan in motion. But I learned details on it. Thus why we are here. He wanted the three pieces for scholarship and to help himself. But I want," he emphasizes the word want, "it to help our people. To get back to our glory days. It is funny we stopped Clima doing the same with those flying ships but now I can almost see why they tried. Almost." Down the tunnel light can be seen a dull gray white fused light as if in fog or haze. Varange stops and turns to face Fremea. "I do respect you. You have sought your own way in life. I was destined by this." He reaches and shows his own mark on his right shoulder. "These things make us to the Royals but they don't define us. They wanted you to be the Right Hand of the monarchy while I was their left hand. You the covert, me the overt one. I actually wanted to be a artist. No seriously. I had decent skill in it. But my own tutors distracted me. They taught me tactics and warfare. Your Etain friend was so much better than mine. At least Etain used emotion. Mine was a dead man walking with no emotion. The punishments..." Varange continues down the tunnel leaving the sentence to trail off. "While I may disagree with how things turned out I don't deny it now. I'm the third most powerful Fae in this world. I have true power to change things. You could join us. At the very least myself?" He glances to see Fremea in the eyes. "Being with friends like Unali is good for short term work. But I have ...we have bigger plans. We can change the world. The Sidh and the fate of time." The light gets brighter and in seconds the tunnel reveals a large cavern that is maybe 80 feet high and 100 feet wide at places. The light is from lichen or growth that blows a soft white on the ceiling. There are three pedetals that are about 5 feet tall. In a triangle formation with the point going south toward Fremea's general location. On the point pedestal a shiny piece of some kind is seen. On the base pedestals thee is something that is hard to tell from this angle and distance. The cave is maybe 150 feet long from end to end. About 50 feet are two raised tree stump like platforms of stone. They are about 30 feet apart. But on both are two adult looking Faerry - a female and male. They are simply standing with arms at their side looking out. "Your parents." Varange waves a hand toward them. "But they are captured by a energy field of some kind. They actually are in good shape but never aged. The field seems to have not aged them since captured here two decades or so ago. I was only a few years old then but I seem to recall your dad's jaw so it looks like him." He puts the lantern on the ground and caps his hands. "So here is what we need. Each takes those stands and places a hand on them. Yes. It takes two with the mark. Once there it frees the field blocking the pieces there. I get the piece and you get your parents. Deal?" ------------ [Time: 7:28:12 pm - Donara City] [Phase 5] Kiet points his fingers at the Spikers and selects the one to each side of Unali. He invokes the magic in his rings and the men scream. The bodies erupt in flame and heat but not smoke. Both Spikers fall back and dead before they hit the ground. Inside the kitchen Arawn moves toward a crate to use to block the door while he eyes the room. But suddenly as he twists a very intense blast of cold hits him. It is not enough to kill him but it knocks a bit of breath out. It does 5 points of damage and the armor actually adds 1 more point due to the cold. Arawn tries to pinpoint the magic but can't locate it for some reason. Corona does another dive from the sky toward the three dogs and fires his magical eyes again. The bolt hits the wounded dog and burns enough to kill him. The wounded Wolf sees two left and tries to attack one but the wounds hinder him a bit and he fails to make contact. Squirt runs between two dogs and tries to bite in the leg but fails to make contact. The last two dogs attack not knowing their master is down. The dog after the Wolf bites hard on his neck and the wolf goes down not moving. The other dog bites Will but his armor protects him. Raban grabs his neck to try to stop his bleeding and backs away. Why more apes and their love for neck wounds? If he was a normal man he'd be dead but he might last a few more seconds. He draws a arm up in case to block any blows but his main concern is the neck wound. He staggers back a foot or two then drops to one knee weak from the blood loss and black spots start to show in his vision. Unali tries to stab one Spiker but the normal dagger slips just slightly out of her hard grip and causes her to fumble for it losing her attack. The other dagger fails to make contact with the agile man. Unali is glad for the help but not sure who just flamed two of them. Arawn quickly glances around the kitchen. The door to the outside is closed to the alley. But there is little here to use but he moves with his foot a crate full of vegetables in front of the door. There is not much else to use in this room. It might not block a willed person but it will at least keep the door closed for a second or two. Time for him to react. As he does he eyes the floor and entire room. Arawn takes a half second to look at the cook on the ground. His back shows sign of a cut or slash from a blade. But it is too deep so probably a stab. Arawn had hoped the waitress would've pointed or hinted of the person's location. She tries to recall her eyes. But they were all over the place due to the shock and damage to her system. Arawn tries to use his skills. Trying to locate clues on the ground and walls. His empathic skills can sense great malice, anger and despair. But it is hard to tell from what direction. Then Arawn sees a drop away from the body. He follows it to the right. Another. Then two more. One more which shifted a bit left toward the wall in front of him. Then one at the base of the wall near the edge. Then his vision seems to blur as he notices a new drop hit the ground in that same spot. Then suddenly Arawn sees it a form at the wall just show up and move. It shifts but he realizes its not magic but a very clever use of camouflage. Maybe a strong spell that was able to be even be blocked by his magic detection senses. The shape which took the color of the wall forms into a man wearing heavy leathers. His face has a pug nose that shows sign of many breaks. He wears a bone necklace of three small fingers - maybe Fae or children - on his left ear. He is bald and his face is riddles with tattoos of some animals like apes and wolves. His eyes blaze green with anger and his right cheek has a long scar that runs from his eye to just below his jaw showing a intense old fight. The man is 5 feet 11 and around 220 pounds around his early 20s. The man steps away from the wall revealing himself and scowls. "Where is he? Elf scum!" He says this in a very rough Elven dialect but a very old variation as of some old stories of the ancient language rather than some new language of modern Elves. The man steps forward and charges. He holds a mace in one hand and a small shrunken skinless skull on a stick with 3 bright yellow and red feathers. Probably a shamanic focus like Z'leyra's drum. But as Arawn sees the man charge he is confused how this man eluded his finely tuned skills. He wasn't invisible but should've been able to sense him or a aura. Unless this form of camouflage is so powerful it eludes that. Almost a method like the Vong shows no aura but that is from their natural state. The man swings at Arawn but he simply draws up his buckler and the mace hits the shield. Kell attacks the nearest ape but fails to make contact. The last two apes eye as Raban back away. Their master told them he and his friends killed the others the week before. Anger and revenge shows in their faces. But now they have Z'leyra and Kell distracting them. The big man is wounded and revenge is at hand. One charges Raban and slashes his upper arm doing 6 more points to the giant. The other ape turns toward Z'leyra and tries to punch her in the chest but her armor protects her. Z'leyra tries to twist and swing her own staff at the ape but the sudden attack takes her slightly off guard and she misses the ape by a few inches. Etain stops in his tracks when the two spikers scream. He sees Unali there and knows she can deal with it. He turns and heads for the bar to help others hide. The last Spiker hits Unali with his spiked club but her chainmail protects her well. Will sees the master of the dogs fall and can't quite make up the newcomer's face. He plunges his blade into one of the dogs doing 7 points of damage. The stranger approaches Will and slashes at the back of the nearest dog. But the blade only brushes a half inch above as the dog seems to sense the attack. The City Guard sees Raban fall and looks worried. He rushes to his side and thrusts at the attacking Ape. But his sword only stabs air between his arm and body. The customers all rush toward the bar for hiding not knowing the situation feet away in the kitchen. [Time: 7:28:15 pm - Donara City] [Phase 6] Kiet activates his boot magic. Arawn builds energy for a spell and casts himself into invisibility. He continues to block the door which will be dangerous but he can't let this man outside to wipe out those customers hiding at the bar. Corona blasts the wounded dog he just hit again doing 2 more points from the sky. Squirt clamps down on the hind leg of the wounded dog and kills him with the final damage. The last dog considers running as his fellow 4 dogs are dead or down. But his master would beat him. He lunges for Will and tries to bite but fails to make contact. Raban sags to the other knee and closes his eyes as the blood loss is making him dizzy. If he falls and releases his hand against his neck is dead for sure. He can't fall unconscious. But his muscles weaken and he falls to his back staring at the ceiling. He frowns that his nice jeweled gauntlet will need to be cleaned form the blood on him and wonders if he will see Sira again. Unali stabs the last Spiker doing minor damage with her normal dagger and the fatal blow with her magical dagger killing him. Arawn swings his sword at the man but the blow is light and his hides protect him. Arawn realizes this must be the same on in the military center. Camouflaged from sight and in command of the apes. That would also explain why he escaped so well. Though Arawn is hidden from sight the shaman needs little help locating the Alfar. He thrusts at the last known place for the Elf and stabs. But his armor protects the full blow. Kell stabs the ape attacking Z'leyra in the side doing 7 points with his tulwar. Suddenly a hand is felt by Raban. A voice. "I'll help." It is the voice of the other Bard who was singing. Where did he go to hide? The bard applies pressure with some kind of cloth or shirt against Raban's neck. Raban is relived that maybe he'll be alive for a few more seconds. He begins to hum a song inside his mind for a lost King due to forgotten love. The ape attacking Z'leyra fails to hit her. But the other ape turns toward the city guard and claws. The man takes it deep in the chest doing 5 points as nails tear his chest. But the guard remains standing. Z'leyra swings and hits the ape in the center ribs doing 16 points of damage breaking ribs. But the ape still is standing. Kiet turns and moves south toward the box to collect his things. He glances over to see Raban hurt but there are two others near him. Plus two more apes. He runs the 90 feet between tables and patrons. Will swings at the last dog but fails to make contact. The stranger moves into the light and Will can now see he is elven with those facial features and ears. He tries to thrust at the last dog but does not hit. The patrons move toward the bar as fast as they can. Actions? Comments? Next update...Monday... GM: Two more phases done. Will do 2 more for Monday. Unless we are so close to finishing then will finish it a phase or two more (ie if the last target is almost dead). Right now 1 dog, 2 wounded apes and the Shaman in kitchen remains. Raban and the wolf are down or dead. The City guard is also wounded. I will work on mana report sometime this weekend. I may do next two phases on Saturday if have time but no rush. GM: Arawn - Did as emailed. Will do the next spell as listed next phase unless change it. Since it took time to move crate and eye the room didn't have time to cast the spell until second phase. Fremea - Time for action? :) Kiet - Should get to box and grab gear in next phase. Will take another phase to run toward Apes. But you MIGHT be in range of rings if my math is correct at that time. Unali - Will assume moving toward Apes unless want to help the patrons.
