Have a seat facing me. Watch. I would like to commune with the spirits over this." She indicates for them to sit in front of her within 15 feet. Telling the horses to stay, she takes out her shamanic drum (tambourine), kneels down and starts beating out a repetitive pattern. Soon she rocks her head back and starts speaking in Kameran. Â Soon she stops beating her drum, she grabs her staff and speaks some more and then spends some moments staring into the eyes of each person that will meet her gaze. Â The spells she cast were Orient Self on herself EL11 to give herself enough time for all the gazing she expects to do. Followed by sufficient EL2 Soul Sight spells through her staff to gather the relevant information from each that would meet her gaze. She also notes which chose to avert their gaze or resist the spell. GM: Ack. ------------------------------------------------------------ [New Stuff] [Janaq 15th, 1635TH] [Zen'da Eastern Plains - River Sich edge] [Time: 7:20 am] Kiet's magic just confirmed what his observations already told him. After Pyangalore approaches Kiet, the acrobat's right eyebrow raises and a small smile appears on his lips. This is the most the quiet Hunter has said in weeks. After he asks about Unali's mental health, Kiet replies to him in Omava and says. "Yes, she is having problems. She's cursed. We need to talk to Z'leyra at once. Please. Come." Kiet motions to the Hunter to follow him. He heads over to Z'leyra and switches to Marentian. "Z'leyra, we have a problem. Unali is cursed! The problem, besides the curse, is what will she do to stop anyone from removing the curse?" He looks over to Pyan, then back to Z and says, "I think you are the only one that can help her. Do we need to do anything to make her more...um...receptive? I'm afraid if we aren't careful she will begin to hunt us after any such attempt." Kiet watches as Z'leyra continues to don her armor for some reason. Why put on armor at time like this? Unless she suspects she could be attacked. Kiet glances at Unali and figures that is possible. Arawn overhears Kiet and moves toward his horse. Unali looks down after watching Corona. She hears her name and stares at Kiet. Why does Kiet say such things? Is he behind this? Did he know? Maybe if she drives him through it would all stop? Z'leyra finishes and Arawn notices Unali get even more nervous and upset. Arawn begins to speak that he is only helping and not wanting to harm her. He raises his hands and moves slowly toward Unali's horse. In Marentian and Zen'dali Z'leyra says, "Please, all of you gather close around. Have a seat facing me. Watch. I would like to commune with the spirits over this." She indicates for them to sit in front of her within 15 feet. Telling the horses to stay, she takes out her shamanic drum (tambourine), kneels down and starts beating out a repetitive pattern. Soon she rocks her head back and starts speaking in Kameran. AS Z'leyra enters her trance Unali glares at Z'leyra. Magic against her? Unali whirls her horse around and begins to gallop fast away. Arawn curses and runs to his horse frowning at Z'leyra for scaring Unali away. Fremea hears Z'leyra but is looking at the dead Griffin that Kiet kills and inspecting it. She decides not to gather close to Z'leyra. Kiet is still nearby but turns his back watching Unali as she rides off. He does not meet her gaze. Dorhak sees the odd woman ride off and grunts. Another victory! Scared of his might! He lowers the axe finally and grunts hearing Z'leyra. Why is she making music with that drum? Such a odd time to do so. But the dwarf is unsure what this is about. He steps back beyond the 15 feet and instead stares at others for the first time getting a good look at the others but not meeting Z'leyra's gaze. Fuk and Lucria glance at each other. Fuk decides to get to his horse. He is not needed for such things to help the crazed woman unless to chase her down. Fuk moves to his horse and prepares it for leaving. Lucria shrugs and has nothing to hide. Kell considers going to help Unali and moves to his horse. Then Arawn mounts the fay horse and gallops off after Unali. Z'leyra completes her spell and begins the soul sight spell. She notices that only Lucria and Pyan remain in the range and who seem to look at her. Arawn rides fast and hard after Unali. The druid smiles as the fast horse moves in the wind. Those who watch like Kiet see the horse seem so much faster than the others. In fact Arawn knows his horse is probably faster than all the horses combined. Z'leyra stares at Lucria. She learns things already known that Lucria seems lawful, that he is not a magic user, his emotional state is annoyed and confused by this nonsense and seems to have no talents. Z'leyra can't tell if he is lying as he hasn't spoken to her. His intent seems to yawn from boredom and then maybe find a bush to relive himself. Does not seem to be influenced or under such forces. Arawn is now only 30 feet behind Unali. She glances back and frowns. Arawn begins to explain he can understand her situation Using magic against her will or with permission is not something he'd care to do. That he can understand her reason for fleeing. That he can help her. As they both ride he pleads and explains that he would never betray her. Arawn then gets an idea he pleads to Unali's horse to stop that he is here to help Unali. Arawn's fay horse then over takes Unali's with ease. A few seconds later Unali's horse stops. She begins to spur and demand movement but the horse remains in place. Arawn dismounts and reaches into his pouch before turning to face Unali. Arawn notices they are now some 250 feet away from the others. Arawn raises his hands. He explains that she is indeed cursed but not from her friends. Unali then sees a memory flash in her mind. A scene set in a dark room facing a woman seated. Arawn notices Unali seem to relax her hand from her dagger as if she is considering this and makes his move. He reaches for Unali's leg and touches his topaz against her leg. Unali returns back from her memory and glares down. She draws her magical dagger. The flash of clairvoyance shows that Arawn intends no immediate harm. Then she seems to feel a bit different. She lowers the dagger just a few inches and looks around as if confused. Arawn smiles and hopes the immunity to a curse is now affecting Unali. It won't be a cure but it will at least give him time. Arawn steps back and raises his hand to reveal the stone. It is attached to a necklace. Arawn continues to talk in soft smooth tones. He explains he can help cure her problem. If she will allow it. Unali stares at Arawn then back to the others far away. The dagger Z'leyra made reveals no harm from Arawn. But if Kiet cursed her? No that makes no sense. He can barely avoid snakes much less cause curses. Unali lowers her dagger and dismounts. Arawn nods and explains he will make a potion of simple water with this stone he points at in his necklace. It will then cure her. Unali considers this. Water? What harm could this be? Then she recalls the talisman with such a stone. She had researched the merits at the time. Something about curing the insane and cursed. So that is his plan. She lowers the dagger but does not sheath it. Arawn nods and moves to his bag to get the needed goblet and some of his water. He shows what he is doing step by step to ensure no tricks. He pours the water in the goblet and then drinks some to ensure its not poisoned. She nods and then he continues to make the potion. Arawn hands the goblet to Unali. She inspects it and then drinks. She begins to blink a bit too much and recalls that dark room. The captured woman and her threats against Unali. She sheathes her dagger and smiles. Arawn smiles back and asks if she would not to return to the group. Unali glances back and sees the dwarf. Why is that with them now? She needs to catch up. She nods and mounts up. Both ride slowly back to the party as Arawn quickly explains the dwarf just appeared and may have helped Fremea. Everyone turns to see Unali and Arawn arrive. It is clear the tension is gone. Dorhak even notices she is holding no daggers this time. Unali glances at the dwarf and even gives a slight smile. Fuk on his horse looks to Unali, "you seem fine now. What happened to you?" Actions? Comments? Next Update..Monday??? GM: A small update. Tons of behind scene stuff for it and some. Emails flowing. Kiet discovering the curse with simple magic and emaiing folks. Lost of emails back and forth on the soul sight spell Many did not agree to the sell on them without being asked or told why. I personally would agree with it. Soul Sight is one of those spells that reveals too much private things. Its like superman with xray eyes seeing what is under some ladies clothing. Just a bit odd for me. I had hoped you guys would've figured out Dorhaks method of travel. Do you guys just leave him here? Now that Unali is cured still need to resolve that issue. I outlined options in update a few weeks ago. Riding on horse would be hard for gear and others. No pack animals. Let me know what you guys decide on Dorhak. We can't move on until this is resolved. I work Monday so will work on update Monday evening. (6pm est) GM: Soul Sight: I got private wishes on those who did not wish to meet gaze or resist. Thus the above. Pyan: Did you meet her gaze? Being a PC it is your choice. If unsure on spell check Wout's site or I can email you a copy of it. If you agree I'll give Z the results. I can do it private or in update. Lucria: Already knew it so didn't care. Kell: Technically your a pc still so I had no idea if you would allow or not. Mark I will say if you do not return by 10/1 I'll have to npc you again. I hope your still out there.
