She will cast invisibility on herself as she moves. Max EL that will only take 1 phase to do. GM: Ack. Well technically have to be standing still to cast magic. But since Faerry can technically hover that's motionless so I allow that. So can't really cast it while you fly. :) I assume max EL or for 1 phase casting. From kiet: [Re: Tree] Kiet considers the idea, but we have a 'mission'. Maybe later. "How about we go visit on our return trip when we are not... ------------------ Kiet's situation here is worse than he first thought. The goblins are already right on top of us, literally in Red Shirt's case. Kiet will melee the goblins to the SE, sticking with Kell for the time being. Protect the camp and our things. If the opportunity presents, cast EL2 Protection from Kotothi, and, should it present later, cast EL0 Delude Sight, then EL0 Iron Skin. Don't spend time casting consecutive spells...cast...fight...cast...fight. Immediately engage goblins with tulwar and more than a bit of anger! If camp is cleared, head out to check on my horse. Use ring to Flame one goblin if he hits Kell in his left arm again. If Kiet is hit past 25% of his health, activate earth magic from shield. It will probably slow me down, but better to be slow and alive than quick and dead. FIGHT!!! GM: Ack. This is a great time for team work. But we'll see how it goes. I know its difficult in a pbem but if done well like using Kell's suggestion it can mean a great deal of difference. From Z'leyra: [Re: Actions] Since Z'leyra doesn't want to have party members and horses fighting friends she casts Balance speed spell EL2 on herself, runs to where no horses or party members are within 20 feet of her (but as many goblins as possible), casts Quarrels EL0 thru her staff, runs to a new spot with different goblins and no party members or horses, casts quarrels EL0 thru her staff, et cetera. [Too bad she didn't have her boots on.] GM: Ack. Still not told me on the loot stuff. :< I know big decisions for leaders. From Unali: [Re: Actions] Unali notices the goblins taking horses to the west, but she is on the other side of the clearing. She will take on the goblins near to her first, working her way round the clearing to the other side. Get the fight near the party under control first, but recover the stolen horses as quickly as possible. She will se how well the first two phases go before deciding if magical assistance is needed. GM: Ack. From Pyan: [Re; Actions] Yeah, will fight back to back with the others. GM: Ack. Welcome back. You are free to post as much as you want. This is after all a role playing game. :) I know things are new but even some change over time. Our favorite acrobat used to post tons of one liners and now look at him talk talk talk :). Which is great though. I think Kiet even posted to you on background but never saw a post from you unless you emailed him without CCing me? ------------------------------------------------------------ [New Stuff] [Western Marentia - Forest] [Novehas 28th, 1634TH] [Time: 2:46 pm] Arawn ask about going to the tree. Kiet considers the idea, but we have a 'mission'. Maybe later. "How about we go visit on our return trip when we are not so, um, rushed. --------------- [Western Marentia - Forest] [Decalis 1st, 1634TH] [Time: 4:25:09 am] [Phase 3] Hovering in the air over the camp, Fremea prepares to cast a spell of invisibility as she watches the mana sources. Kiet, Z'leyra and Arawn all prepare magical energy to cast their own spells. Arawn's spine tingles as if he feels eyes on him or maybe he was a target of something like magic but it does not seem to affect him? From the west south of Zabyra and west of Arawn 3 more arrows shoot out of the bushes and head straight for Arawn. Two hit the shield and are deflected away into the ground a third goes wild and misses entirely. Corona dives down toward Unali's old position. The magical eagle fires a bolt of fire from his eyes and hits goblin #21 killing him as the bolt shreds his chest. Fremea becomes invisible among the night shadows. Arawn casts his Battle Mind spell and tries to include those around him. The spell can reach the entire camp easily and the mind connections are Arawn with Fremea, Kell, Kiet, Unali and Z'leyra. Kell casts a spell and tosses it toward goblin #30 which is coming through the small niche between bushes toward them. The energy web envelopes the goblin and holds him into place. This should block the others coming behind him from coming this way. Z'leyra casts a spell upon herself hoping to get faster and find targets. Course with no shoes on hopefully she won't break her ankle running so fast on a rock. Kiet casts a protection spell upon himself as he can begin to feel the presence of the others in his mind. From Fremea he can sense possible magical source. From Unali he can sense vaguely a sense of awareness for the goblins around her. Z'leyra glances north and sees Red Shirt's tent being attacked but decides to ignore that and moves west. Moving the tight space between bushes, making noise as she runs, she moves behind the goblins. As she moves she notices a larger goblin this one looks like wearing armor waving. She can only assume this one must be a leader or one of those Elite trolls. She hits a tree with her staff so the goblins hear and will hopefully turn around. Would be bad if they rush into camp and just out of range of her spell but she had to get further away to avoid the horses and new people like the dancer and Red Shirt. Unali moves forward toward the back of the goblins in her area. She decides one dagger each is best for each creature as one hit should kill them. With her magical dagger she hits goblin #4 with her normal dagger she hits #17 and kills both instantly. Arawn sees the horses being taken or rather some of them the warhorses seem to be fighting back good for them. He sees two goblins outside Red Shirt's tent and hopes he is still alive. He hopes Z'leyra went to help him or he could die. He remains back to back with Reddof since he can't move just yet from casting his spell. One of Kiet's warhorse bucks and kicks at goblin #5 near Red Shirt's tent and hits him with his hooves but does not kill him just wounds him. Zabyra's warhorse sees two goblins reaching for his ropes and also bucks but the goblin is aware and reacts in time from being hit. Z'leyra notices the one wearing armor nearby to her is waving and speaking some orders that seems to indicate the horses? From the right Unali can hear another troll yelling in their vile language and notices this one is armored. Zabyra with scimitar in hand pulls out her dagger. Time to show these creatures some fine dance work. She considers moving toward the band by the horses but knows she could be overwhelmed. That trader fellow did say to stay back to back and it would help which does make sense. So she decides to wait for the goblins to come closer staying nearby Arawn and Reddof. Kell thrusts his spear at goblin #29 which is right in front of him and hits in the chest doing the amount needed to knock the creature out. Probably to die later from blood loss. Pyan sees no one over by him. Unali should be in her tent or now away. But the hunter notices 2 goblins now on the ground by some method. He then hears Kell's comment that fighting in formation is safer so decides to move that way and waits for the creatures to swarm them. From the south one goblin glances down from his tree into the fray. There is one that seems to make his nose hairs raise. That can only mean a Sidh. The creature must die. The goblin jumps from the tree and moves toward Arawn. Having activated his boots Kiet sees the goblin nearby with a shimmering field of something that looks like a web? The acrobat moves toward that small niche stepping over the goblin and stomps the ground causing a fire to raise around the dead goblin and the bush to block the goblins that way coming forward. Then turning west he moves quickly that way and passes Arawn toward the small niche between bushes and stomps that ground causing fire to raise from his boots leaving a trail as well behind him. That should block the others from that directions coming for a few seconds. Reddof sees Red Shirt in his tent moving or some shadows. But now goblins are trying to get to him. He senses that he needs to help his cousin so moves from the protection of Zabyra and Arawn moving toward Red Shirt's tent. He charges with sword in hand and two arrows still in his back toward the tent. He swings at the goblin at the flap of his cousin's tent. The wounded goblin was just hit by the horse and so the minor damage to his shoulder is enough to kill him. Now the remaining goblins all at once move and attack their selected targets. They all move at the same time. Two of the goblin near Red Shirt's tent move. Goblin #1 enters the tent and tries to club the man but the man moves out of the way just in time. Goblin #2 moves toward Reddof and hits him in the shoulder doing 2 more damage to the wounded man. The eight goblins near Unali react to the new situation. Half see the 2 of their companions fall to something. Four on the east side see that eagle just take out one. Two charge Unali's old position swing clubs and a spear but misses though one did get close. The third goblin was frozen by the odd dropping of his allies. Goblin #20 charges Kell with spear and thrusts but misses. Goblin #22 charges toward Kell swings his dagger and misses. Goblin #23 charges toward Pyan with spear but misses. Goblin #24 charges toward Pyan but rounds him toward Kiet. He swings his club but misses. The goblin trapped by Kell's energy web struggles to free himself but can not. Behind him two of his pals try to push him forward grunting. But the creature does not budge from the web. The four goblins near Arawn are dazed by the ground fire made by Kiet's boots snarling and grunting. The one nearest swings his spear but Kiet is just out of range. Goblin #9, 10, 11, 12 and 14 turn to the sound made by Z'leyra and with orders by the Elite troll go to investigate this new threat. Four are now lined up just north of the shaman while one stands only 10 feet away in front. Three in the west are not swayed by the noise and move into camp. Gobiin #13 charges Arawn He thrusts at the Alfar but the shield prevents movement through his shield. Goblin #1 and #2 charge toward the dancer. The first misses with his club but #2 hits her in the upper left chest just below the shoulder with his dagger doing 6 points of damage. Goblin #3 moves from the shadows of the north moving toward Red Shirt's tent. The goblin moves toward Reddof and swings his club. He hits Reddof in the neck doing 9 more points of damage to the man who is forced to the ground from his injuries. Trihs inside his tent hears Reddof grunt and fall to the ground. He yells out, "help!" Then swings at the goblin inside his tent. He slices across the creature's chest doing only 6 points. But is still some seconds before he can help his cousin. [Time: 4:25:12 am] [Phase 4] Arawn builds energy for a new spell. Z'leyra now a quarter surrounded builds up her own magical energy. Three more arrows fly toward Arawn but all miss with one almost hitting Zabyra nearby. Corona dives toward another Goblin toward Unali but when he fires the fire bolt hits the ground missing the creature. Arawn goes with a previous plan and casts a spell toward his left. He tosses the spell toward the four goblins blocked by fire from his side. Suddenly the bushes and branches around the goblins become alive reaching and grabbing the legs and arms of the creatures. Z'leyra casts her spell and hopes it works. But she stares at the goblin nearby and realize it failed as they are not fighting each other. Kiet hears Red Shirt yell and looks north to see Reddof fall to the ground probably dead. He raises his left hand and activates the ring. Suddenly the goblin standing over Reddof bursts into flames and falls to the ground dead. Fremea flies south and pinpoints the mana source as actually two sources. It seems the goblin in armor is showing magical essence and the sword he is holding also has magical power. She raises her bow toward the goblin but at the last second she fired the goblin jumped down onto the ground form the tree and is now moving toward the camp. One of the warhorses near Reddof tries to kick a goblin but the creature sees it and moves away. Z'leyra decides it is best to move away rather than being jumped by 5 goblins. She moves west further into the darkness. Unali moves toward two more goblins and stabs both easily killing both with each dagger. Arawn swings his sword at Goblin #13 hitting him the chest slicing deep and knocking the creature out. Zabyra thrusts her dagger toward Goblin #1 and kills him with a neck slash but then twirls around using her martial and dancing skills to move behind Goblin #2 and stabs upwards with her scimitar killing the creature. Kell thrusts his spear at Goblin #20 in front of him impaling him in the chest killing him. Pyan thrusts at Goblin #22 hitting him in the lower abdomen for 5 points with his spear. The large goblin with the magical sword seem sot leap over the bushes and with a graceful landing near Arawn. The goblin smiles and swings his sword at the Alfar. The sword just misses Arawn's shield by inches and would've pierced his liver if not for his shield which fully deflects the blow. Kiet is startled by this large goblin that just landed and attacked Arawn only feet away. Behind him he can hear four or so goblins trying to move past the fire but the fire seem sot scare them. But he does have one goblin right next to him. Looks like the large goblin attacking Arawn has some nice armor on so must be a leader of some sort. But if he drops his guard the other goblin will attack so he turns to thrust his tulwar at the goblin in front of him. He kills the goblin with a nice deep thrust into his lungs. Reddof rolls onto his side just in time to see the goblin over him burning and fall. He tries to raise his sword but is too weak to fight from the blood loss. Now the goblins move again. Goblins #9-#12 move south to where Z'leyra was just seconds before swinging and slicing with weapons but find no one there. Goblin #14 swings wildly trying to fight the noise that was just moments ago Z'leyra before she moved away. As with the other 4 goblins in the area he only hits air. Goblin #18 and #19 move from the east side into the camp. They step over the three goblin bodies - one form Corona and 2 from Unali - a bit reluctant. They wave spears and staggers around but does not see Unali. They turn toward the South West and start to move that direction toward Kell. Goblin #22 swings his dagger at Pyan but misses as the hunter ducks just in time. The four goblins southwest of Arawn and Kiet are scared by the fire and decide going around is best. They move west and around the bushes to the other side of the tree and charges toward Zabyra and Arawn. Goblin #25 thrusts at Zabyra but misses. Goblin #26 swings his club at her and barely misses as it hits air to the side of her. Goblin #27 and #28 follow behind their pals #25 and #26. But they do not quite reach the dancer and end up just north of her about 5 feet away. Goblin #30 continues to struggle against the energy web cast by Kell. He tries to yank and club it away but it doesn't seem to budge at all. Goblin #31 and #32 push behind Goblin #30 trying to remove him from their path between the thick bushes and can't seem to budge him either. They are too stupid to simply walk around at this time. Red Shirt thrusts his sword and kills the second goblin that entered his tent. Then he moves toward the tent flap and finds the area devoid of goblins. Actions? Comments? Next Update....Wednesday... GM: Sorry for delay. I think the map is accurate now. The dwarves drunk too much and messed up the map. Don't worry I beat them well. Since this is late consider this the Friday update per se. But it will not allow you guys to reply in time so NEXT update I will work on is Wednesday at noon. No update for Monday and none for Friday. I work Thursday so can't do it on Thursday this week. So have any posts by Tuesday night if possible. If not by noon Wednesday. I know this is a bit odd schedule but I'm just giving you guys time to react. So only 1 update next week. After next week I'll do 2 the next. Combat has done well so far with half the goblins more or less, dead. But still some situations to deal with. Final warning on the loot as I've not heard from our leader if selling as I outlined in the last 2 updates at the possible location to sell it. If no answer guess you guys haul the horses hundreds of miles to Zara. I've not heard comments on the issue with duration/ no sentry of Watchful Sleep and Sleep Sight as well. See last update. GM: Arawn - I know you wanted the shadow warriors but the delay action of the vines saved time in dealing with the chaos. Hope this is fine. Now though you have 4 goblins about to pounce on Zabyra and the big armored guy with the magical sword only a foot or two away to your right. I will assume that you let Kiet handle the armored magic user as he already had a plan for it previously and you help Zabyra since she could get seriously wounded. Fremea - You chased the magical goblin but he got away. You are now 10 feet south of him hovering in the air above the bushes. You could fire your bow and hope not to hit Zabyra/Kiet. So I will assume if no actions posted you land behind the magical goblin and backstab? Then help Zabyra. Kiet - As outlined in your email? Ring the magical Goblin? Already used one to save Reddof from certain death by frying one. The magical goblin with sword and armor is only like 2-3 feet next to you. So I assume Ring/Sword? Then rush to help Zabyra? Unali - There are a couple goblins moving toward Kell you could take out. But I think due to Red Shirt's yell. You move toward Red Shirt and Reddof and ensure no goblins over there? Especially since you seem to have missed the goblin directing the goblins from the north. He may be lurking. Zabyra - With 4 goblins about to attack you. You can stand your ground or flee toward Kell But they may chase you. Keep in mind Arawn will act before you do and Kiet after. So I am not sure what I will do for you unless you post. I may just have you stand your ground with Arawn to your back. Pyan - With only 1 goblin immediate threat by you I'm sure you and Kell can finish him off. That means the trapped goblins to the south and 2 coming from north. I assume you stay with Kell and stand your ground unless stated otherwise. Z'leyra - First spell failed - It happens. I assume you recast Quarrels and could affect the 5-6 goblins in your area. Then what after that? GM: Combat Stats Party Wounded - Red Shirt, Reddof Goblins - Alive - 17? Knocked Out maybe dead soon - 2 Dead - 15 Unknown location - ? GM: New Issue to resolve - Just reread the spells for WS and Sleep Sight. The person is asleep for the full duration. This means Arawn, Z'leyra and Unali will be sleeping for no less than 7 hours. This means 3 less possible sentries as they don't wake up until then. So we can assume sleep at 10 or 11 and wake up around 4-5am. Means a possible window they can all sentry of maybe 1-2 hours without extending their sleep over the normal time. So you three how do you wish to resolve this? :) GM: Spells Start End Arawn Energy Shield 4:25:03 4:27:03 Arawn Battle Mind 4:25:12 4:26:24 Fremea Invisibility 4:25:12 4:27:12 Kell Energy Web 4:25:12 4:25:39 Kiet Protection 4:25:12 4:26:24 Z'leyra Invisibility 4:25:03 4:28:03 Z'leyra Speed 4:25:12 4:26:24 GM: Bandit Treasure 6 Riding Horse Is 3 Riding Horse IIIs 6 Swords 5 Fighting Daggers 3 2 Man Tents & Gear 1 Gold Ring estimated value 2 gold?
