GM: Ack. From Dorhak: [Re: Actions] "Not much to tell. I went hoping to get help learning... GM: Ack. From Kevin: [Re: Actions] OOC. I'm not sure where the 'axe' is that you talk about. The only axe Dorhak has is a throwing axe. He should have his mace in hand. GM: Ack. Probably my Dwa---err..my minions messing up in their duties as editors. I'll punish them later. From Z'leyra: [Re: Actions] "But making skiis, sled or toboggan would take time, ... GM: Ack. From Arawn: [Re: Actions] [Fuk on his horse looks to Unali, "you seem fine now.... Having escorted Unali back to the group Arawn's face... "It was most certainly a curse, but do you have any idea... ------ Having been engrossed in Unali's predicament the alfar ... "I could have shaped a travois," he uttered to those ... [Sorry, short on time, or I'd detail this and the travois creation here. Hopefully I can have something out tomorrow evening] -------- Z'leyra's Gaze: I don't think Arawn was in range as he was chasing after Unali but, in case it matters, he wouldn't have actively avoided her gaze (though he probably wasn't looking in her direction either) as he doesn't have anything he feels he needs to hide. Mane/Feather: (can't recall if I sent his out previously) Unless someone wants part of the mane Arawn would be happy to get the entire part. Feathers, if no one else claims feathers he'd love enough to make a cloak but not sure what amount would be needed - GM, thoughts on this for the future? For now though Arawn will claim 9 feathers. GM: Ack. Yes out of spell range. Griffins have a mane? To me its more just a normal horse mane? Cloak of feathers? Depends on how long. If hip length then maybe 35-40? But I could be wrong. So just 9? From Dorhak: [Re: Actions] Dorhak is confused. There are an equal number of horses... Dorhaks only thought is "Please don't fall! Please don't... GM: Ack. ------------------------------------------------------------ [New Stuff] [Janaq 15th, 1635TH] [Zen'da Eastern Plains - River Sich edge] [Time: 7:22 am] Z'leyra notices that Pyan also met her gaze during the spell and nods to the hunter. Z'leyra gets up, thank those who had met her gaze then goes over and asks the dwarf in Zen'dali "Dorhak, do you have any skill in skiing or skijoring? If so, a horse could pull you behind it while you ride on skiis. If not, we could try something similar to you riding a toboggan being pulled by a horse. Perhaps the rawhide from the griffin could be made into a suitable toboggan. If we do that would you be interested in that mode of transportation?" "Later I will be interested in hearing news from the Kameran as it has been a while since I've been home." Dorhak notices the man coming back with the wild woman along side. Things seem better but Dorhak keeps his mace at hand. He glances toward Z'leyra. "Not much to tell. I went hoping to get help learning more about metals. They said no." Lucria grunts.. This is why Z'leyra's dad may have been killed. Learning such secrets. The bounty hunter is aware the dwarf could've been killed. Then he realizes something. He moves toward Fuk and whispers. "It is odd that we have this dwarf and now Unali back? The chances are odd. Don't you think?" Fuk glances at the others and whispers back, "Do you think one of them could be this look alike in some magical form? We'll have to keep an eye on both even while not on sentry duty. Just to be safe these aren't seeking to kill us all." Lucria nods and then takes a cloth from his belt and ties it around his face. He has seen Arawn wear a face wrap and Unali as well. So it may be safe for him to avoid Zen'da seeing him. Especially in this area so close to the southern central regions. Z'leyra sighs and continues, "But making skiis, sled or toboggan would take time, time I don't wish to spare. Fine! I will let you ride my horse and I will tell her to be careful to not dump you off. Please do not disturb my gear." With that Z'leyra takes the bedroll from her horse, (talking in Horse Tongue to the horse telling her to be careful with this rider as he does not know how to ride and to stay in the middle of the herd) and offers to help Dorhak onto the saddle. "Do not try to guide the horse and don't hurt it. It will keep with the rest of the horses." Z'leyra starts to divest herself of her gear as she will then hang some of her gear from the saddle and will roll the rest of it into the bedroll which she ties behind the saddle. By the time this is done she is nude. "Everyone ready? Let's go!" Whereupon she turns into an eagle and will join Corona flying figure-eights overhead and in front of the party a ways. Fuk looks at Lucria when Z'leyra begins removing her armor she just put on and now her shirt? "What...is ...she doing?" When she stands among the party fully naked Lucria raises an eyebrow. "Whatever it is...maybe this is some Kameran thing. At least now we can see if she has any marks for finding her twin. Then-" Then Z'leyra turns to a eagle. "..ok. Now I'm intrigued. If she can do that at will maybe she is this killer? Wouldn't it be ironic we are on the trail of a killer and we deliver her back to the Kameran?" Fuk nods to the whispers and nods. Dorhak is confused. There are an equal number of horses as there are humans and others. Z'leyra offers her horse to ride? What will she ride then? Dorhak is grateful for the help up to the horse. He wasn't quite sure how he would climb up there. He mumbles "Thanks" in Kameri to Z'leyra. He almost panics, though, over how far off the ground he is. Everything about the dwarves is connected to the earth...but here he is way too far from it! Arawn stops his horse near the others now with Unali and grins at Dorhak bobbing back and forth in the saddle. Doesn't take a empath to see that Dorhak is scared to death by being on the horse. He motions for Dorhak at least to grab the reigns. No need to guide but he can at least use them to support his arms. Dorhak's surprise isn't over. Z'leyra begins to take off her clothes, then doesn't stop until completely naked. Dorhak disapproves and looks away, shaking his head and mumbles "humans!" In dwarf elder. He hears the flapping sound and looks around and sees that Z'leyra is missing! Now there are two eagles floating around the sky over this weird group. Dorhaks only thought is "Please don't fall! Please don't fall..." He holds onto the saddle with all his strength and wordlessly prays to the gods of stone and silence. Unali rides back visible far more relaxed than she was before. She dismounts this time. To Fuk and the group she explains, "I was cursed, as I understand, with a view on this world that is even darker than actually normal. I would see anyone, even my friends and travel partners, as possible enemies. Thanks Arawn, for seeing through all this and curing me. I must have been a pain to have around." "I am not sure when this came over me, somewhere in the past few days, but it might have been when I was out on a job for Aren, interviewing some not so nice ladies from the sands to the east. These rebel witches tend to be nasty ones. One must have had a trick or two up her sleeve." Unali turns to Dorhak, "Welcome Dorhak, I would be pleased to ride with you, although I guess I gave a different impression just now. Maybe one day we can sit down and discuss how to make the perfect daggers.." Having escorted Unali back to the group Arawn's face displayed interest when Fuk asked the question that was likely on everyone's mind. "It was most certainly a curse, but do you have any idea how you acquired it? And why?" While awaiting her answer he allowed his natural senses to take in her aura, doing his best to make sure that no lingering effects remained. But Arawn notices nothing new since last time he saw Unali back in Sivas. Maybe more emotion of confusion but that would be natural after this event. Fuk leans to Lucria, "I intend to speak to Unali. Ticasi has little info on this L'p'nth area. It might be great intel for the council." Having been engrossed in Unali's predicament the Alfar was unaware of the interaction occurring between Z'leyra and Dorhak. When the shamaness began to shift the gear around he assumed the dwarf would be riding behind her, by the time he realized she was going take flight she was already stripped down and in the sky. "I could have shaped a travois," he uttered to those nearby, a wry grin on his face. "Oh well. I'll craft one once we make camp... or when she gets tired. Whichever comes first." Turning to Dorhak he once again gave a warm smile. "I'd have offered you a ride but it's not my back to offer. Corsaya is a bit particular as to whom she chooses to bear. But I'll introduce her to you and the others at camp. It's been a whirlwind of activity lately and I've barely had time to take a breath!" Arawn sees the party start to head off and dismounts. He rushes over to the dead griffin and begins taking feathers. He can always catch up. After all his horse is about 3 times as fast as the others. [Time: 7:30 am] The party departs the River Sich banks. The day is cloudy and temperatures range form 10-55 degrees. Flying high overhead Z'leyra has to fly low to gain some warm currents. As the party moves some try to get to know the dwarf and why he just simply upped and joined this group. Was he heading somewhere? For what? [Time: 5:18 pm] About this time a huge wind storm kicks the party a bit back in their seats. Dorhak begins to fall but Kell and Kiet help right him in the horse. Z'leyra and Corona have to fly higher to avoid the wind from slamming them down to the surface. The storm continues for half an hour as the horses are slowed by the wind. Soon the party makes camp for the night. Unali finds Z'leyra and Kiet on the gifts both gave to her. The amulet from Kiet and the bag from Z'leyra. "These gifts are fantastic, certainly for a long trek as I understand we are to make." -------- [Janaq 16th, 1635TH] [Zen'da Central Plains] [Time: 6:51 am] Camp is broken down and the party heads out after a quick breakfast. The day is partly cloudy all day with the temperatures of 35-42. [Time: 5:53 pm] A thick fog begins to roll down the plains and is thick it only allows maybe 20 feet in front of you to see. The fog lasts well into darkness almost 2 hours later before it fades away. This slows the party as they have to be careful riding. -------- [Janaq 17th, 1635TH] [Zen'da Central Plains] [Time: 7:11 am] Z'leyra notices that Corona is missing. Arawn who was on sentry duty few hours before said he went off flying south and will catch up not to stay. Z'leyra finds this odd but allows it. Maybe he is off hunting or such. The day again is partly cloudy with little sun seen. The temperatures range from 20-37. [Time: 8:18 am] Finally Corona joins the group flying from the fluffy clouds overhead. He doesn't explain where he went though. [Time: 3:33 pm] A sudden hail storm begins to hit the party. The stones are size of marbles to small eggs. The ice projectiles blast party and give some bruises but for the most part the party is not harmed badly. It only lasts for about 12 minutes. [Time: 4453 pm] Another huge wind storm hits the party. This is hard enough to rip capes off. Bedrolls or tied things from horses are discarded like toys and have to be collected. But the storm only lasts 4 minutes so is short. -------- [Janaq 18th, 1635TH] [Zen'da Central Plains] [Time: 4:47 am] At this time the party is asleep aside from sentries of Kiet and Fuk. Fuk is on patrol east of the party in the dark but within sight of the campfire. Kiet is sitting with campfire at his back among the tents and watching the stars and the west. When he hears rustling behind him. But it takes a few minutes before he realizes its not wind or a person. he stands and looks around. Then he spots it in the north barely seen about 40 feet away are 2 dogs. They look like dogs but the odd thing is Kiet thinks he is sleep mad because they are yellow in color? Kiet rubs his eyes and blinks but sure enough the yellow does not fade. He notices they are both rummaging around the pile of discarded food from last night. Fuk had cooked some of his ham and beans but had some bad bacon so tossed it there. Actions? Comments? Next Update..Friday?? GM: Since we've moved on I did until next encounter which was 3 days later. You guys can fill in the gaps if need be but I go from encounter to speed things up. The above sentries were random. Kiet need a map? I did this a bit late due to a storm so started later than I wanted so couldn't get a map tonight. I am off Thursday so I will work update Thursday afternoon. GM: IBT - I've updated the IBT chart on the website Adventure Timeline file. For those who have added such info. GM: Will update food/water this week. Just ran out of time tonight.
