Is Varange bluffing, just to get her to touch the pedestal? Is he just really wanting his piece to bring the Fae on better grounds with the Elves and the humans? Obviously her mark will not work on him, but maybe she can use the same trick he used on her. Just in case he tricks her. Fremea eyes the Marshall. She knows little of him except from what Etain and the others have talked about. Z'leyra and Unali have some personal experience with him. He may be as arrogant as a Fomorian King but he does have some duty and honor. He may not be like Thig who fed his dogs a pirate. Course that was all show to fake the other pirates out. But can this official of the Fae people really betray them and her? She considers waiting maybe seeing if Arawn and the other mages can free the piece and pieces. But what if he is right the Elves may be already en route. If Arawn was her he could use those darn truth spells on him. She lowers her hand down to her belt and dagger. Could she really break the sacred oath to harm no fae? The anger begins to boil but she uses the calming techniques the Alfar showed her. It would be bad to deal with this in anger. After a few long moments in silence she stares at the rune on the pedestal. There are rumors that Varange may even be a natural magician so powerful as Arawn might be. But is that truth or legend to boost his ego? "Yes, I will take the piece and my parents. I do not wish to harm you as you are Faerry and I truly do not know what has been going on. It is a bad idea to keep the assassin in the dark, and I am not talking about just you. Why would I report anything to the Royals? They enslaved me, took my parents away and turned me into a ruthless killer. One thing I can thank everyone for though, is that I decided to become more than what everyone wanted me to be. Even you." She walks to the pedestal, hovering her hand over it. "If you cross me and keep in the dark, I may not be able to protect you. You are an amazing General, stop acting like a spoiled brat." Varange nods and smiles. Inside his mind he really has no clue what will happen. If he didn't need her this would never have been a thing. For days he tried to break the wards but could not. He even considered taking a elf wizard to break them but that would cause problems. The Marshall nods to Fremea and hovers his hand over the rune. Fremea waits for the slightest acknowledgment that he understands she is taking the piece and her parents and then places her hand on the mark. ------------- [Time: 7:28:24 pm - Donara City] [Phase 9] Arawn powers his mana into a new spell and quickly casts it using the upper world languages he knows so the shaman doesn't know what he is planning. Unali stabs both daggers into Ape #2. Both hit the upper and middle chest doing 18 points from magical dagger which kills him instantly and the other does any other left over damage to ensure death. Kiet with his boosted magical speed runs toward the last ape. He joins along side the city guard and thrusts at the ape's left ribs with his tulwar doing 2 points of damage. Arawn inside the Kitchen slashes his sword at the Shaman. The blade digs deep into the man's upper chest from right breast to left digging enough damage to do 5 from his sword and 8 more from the magical Power Strike boost. But the man does not fall but staggers back a foot. The shaman regains his balance and spits a curse. He raises his skull focus and releases a spray of green powder toward Arawn's last known position. With amazing luck the spray hits Arawn right into the eyes and immediately clouds his vision. He swings his weapon but with weakened strength forcing him to miss hitting empty air. Kell moves to the last Ape to help Kiet and the guard. He thrusts his weapon but the ape is agile enough to avoid the strike of his blade. The last ape with 3 targets decides the one that just hurt him is the one to attack. He turns and tries to swing his claws at Kiet. But Kiet raises his shield and the claws are deflected by the shield. Z'leyra moves toward the last ape. She can't swing now due to the others. But she tries a simple but awkward overhead bash with her staff. The staff hits the ape in the skull. The damage is enough to crush skull bone but the ape only had 4 points left so its a easy kill. Outside Will leans down and checks the Wolf. As he does he looks around says outloud, "Where is who?" but Will becomes a bit upset when he finds no pulse. He puts down his weapon and tries to inspect the wounds by the dogs. They do not seem to be doing much bleeding as his heart has seemingly stopped. But he doesn't know if First air will help the wolf now. He glances over his shoulder and stares at Z'leyra deep into the room. A voice from sounds a bit above and to the left speaks. "The Male Fae. Is he with you?" ----------- [Inside the Elven Vault] [Time: 7:45:00 pm - Donara City] Fremea places her hand on the rune and waits. Waits a few seconds more. Anger boils. Varange looks around trying to almost sniff the air. Nothing?! Five seconds pass then suddenly Fremea and Varange are riddled with jolts of energy like lightning. It surges through their bodies and seems to lock their hands in place. Neither yell or scream not wanting the other to show any sign of weakness. It isn't pain but like static charge on a stormy day. Then both marks on each Fae begin to flow a bright yellow with enough intensity to see through the clothing. Then the rune around the hands begins to flow a bit of green-blue. A flash of red then both are released from the runes magic. Both look at each other a bit too paranoid. They glance around. Fremea toward her parents and Varange to the piece. Fremea can sense the magical field around her parents still there. She glares back at Varange who nods as if to say wait. Then a buzzing sound is quickly heard and dies down. Fremea looks back and sees the magical field stop. "See no problem!" Varange grins at Fremea. "--can't do this!" Fremea's mother yells out. "--me not her!" Fremea's father yells. Then both parents sag a bit as they can finally move. Fremea's father turns to his wife. "Saya?" He then flies to the his wife. Rather tries at least since he hasn't moved in years trapped in the field. He sags to his knees. "Saya!" Fremea unfurls her wings and glances at Varange. Suddenly the cave begins to shake. Rocks fall from walls and the ceiling. Fremea looks around and Varange looks around just as confused. "Hand the coin to one of them and hold hands." Varange yells to Fremea. Then in the far north wall behind the confused parents a avalanche of rock tumbles down the wall. Varange gives a very foul curse and stares at the new wave of rocks. "That's not good." As the quick avalanche finishes the dust settles. Both fae look to see a new exit maybe? Seconds later though two large glowing red eyes appear in the darkness. They are about 5 feet high off the ground. --------- [Tavern] [Time: 7:28:27 pm - Donara City] [Phase 10] Unali and Kell ensure the Apes are dead by doing some final stabs on their bodies. Inside the kitchen Arawn may be blind but he isn't without senses. The shaman is giving out a very foul sweat and bad breath that a bat could find him. She stabs forward and with her enhanced power strike damage does way enough damage to piece the shaman deep. The shaman falls to the ground. Arawn yells, "Shaman's in here!" Z'leyra drops her staff and scans the guard. He'll live. Then leans down to Raban. The amount of blood on the ground and tunic shows he'd have died if not saved by the bard. The Bard stands. "He'll live. Raban has been through much more than that." He grins as he wipes his hands on a tablecloth. Will turns to the window to see inside that the combat looks over. But his wolf is dead or dying. There is simply no pulse in him and his first aid will do little. ----------- [Inside the Elven Vault] [Time: 7:45:22 pm - Donara City] Fremea's father begins to walk-stagger toward Saya who has fallen herself to one knee. She is staring at the darkness of the new cave in the back. Suddenly a low rumble of a growl is heard. It seems to seep into the bones of the Fae around. Hairs raise on necks and arms. Then a couple of wet sloppy sounding noises are heard like dogs walking in puddles. From the cave emerges a beast. It is as big as a bull around and around 5.5 feet tall. It has large horns on its head like a bull that are red colored. The fur is brown. It walks on 4 stubby legs that are about 2 feet tall. It has a tail that whips back and forth that shows a possible point on one end that might be 2-3 feet long for a tail. Its nostrils are that of a minotaur flaring and giving breaths of dust. But the eyes are a dark blood red with only slight whites. The teeth are mostly squat but there are a few sharp fangs on upper and lower jaws. It is hard to tell but the hooves look like they may have pointed claws. But the oddest thing is it also has a pair of wings about 3 feet wide. It growls as it looks to the Fae, especially the nearby parents only feet away. Actions? Comments? Next update...Friday... GM: A short but fun update. All bad guys in tavern seem dead. Let me know what to do in the next few seconds. I was off today (Sunday) so hope to get this out early. So expect this the Monday update. I will try to work on the experience and mana charts on Wednesday. If I get enough response I'll work on next update then as well. The following week may be hectic for a few reasons for a 2 update week (family graduation). But we'll see. GM: Arawn - You are still blinded by the mist. Fremea - Some decisions to be made. :) You are 45 feet to Varange on your left (facing north) You are 53 or so feet to Piece You are 55 feet toward Dad You are 65 feet toward mother You are 60 feet or so to Beast Beast is only 7-8 feet to dead Beast is around 13-15 to mother. Keep in mind you do about 7-8 hexes flying per phase Hope this helps as a visual and I made one map without hexes though to me hexes help with scale. GM: 23 Customers saved, 3 more at table. 1 Customer dead, Kitchen staff dead?
