Well, I'm like pretty new to this so I'm not sure I feel like right helping make the decision. I think I should not vote. GM: Ack. You are new but I always open vote to even new folks. From Unali: [Re: Actions] I don have a clear preference, but 1) would prefer an active player centered adventure. 2) An adventure in or near Marentia would be convenient give most of our homes are there. 3) It would be fun to see why that dwarf is here and what he was doing in Kameran This leads to preference order of: 14,12,9,16,1,7,8,5,6,3,4,17 (all other) GM: Ack. For me active player needs to be close at hand. To reply to things within a week. As leader this is needed. Active player should be relatively active role playing as well with enough posts to get things moving. Quantity is nice with X lines but as long as concept is conveyed often then that's fine over 1-2 lines. But would prefer as much activity as possible if its your adventure as you are the de facto leader. As to Marentia that's Ba'ru more or less. I suppose Xian's adventure would technically be around there sort of kind of. :) Thanks for your vote. I have such a fun opening for Xian's been working on it for like 6 years. :) Just gotta find the bad guy if I can recall his name. From Kell: [Re; Vote] I agree with Wout, and adventure for an active player. My Vote- 1. #9 - Arawn's adventure. What the heck is up with him!!?? 2. #16 - Dorhak's adventure. Love them dwarves! 3. #13 - Kiet's adventure. I don't see it necessarily being in Lemasa, and he is very active so it's time he gets an adventure. 4. #12 - Kell's adventure. Is his dad alive? Who the heck was the giant man with flaming red hair? Revenge is something best served with a sharp spear. 5. #17 - Mystery. Something else entirely, or join 2 or 3 of the list together. No more votes. We can always buy a treasure map in a tavern, recruit a few bodies, and go dungeon delving... ;) GM: Ack. For 1 do you mean Arawn or Xian? I want to make sure you were like saying what is up with Xian? :) Please clarify. If not will assume Arawn. As to active it would be you if chosen so no awol stints. :) J/k Oh you listed #9 so guess that answers that. Actually I was considering yours. There would be a SLIGHT add for Kiet. :) But no spoilers. It might tie into 3 other adventures though. Your choice for #4. Wow. :) I'm curious on those same questions as I forgot your background. Flaming guy. Now I want to tune in! Treasure maps isn't that so ... normal? :) No more votes? At least vote for Cthulu for President! From Z'leyra: [Re: Actions] Z'leyra declares that passing the hills the party would then head north entering the forest, crossing the river and heading due north. If we encounter a patrol please let me make the initial approach. GM: Ack. That's it. ? No big speech on destiny and fate and why the Kameran eat dwarfs and faerry? Geesh. From Pyan: [Re: Actions] I think some dwarf adventurers with Dorhak sound intersting. GM: Ack. Thanks. From Z'leyra; [Re: Actions] Z'leyra repeats her offer of allowing the Dwarf to use the necklace to try to learn a language (or later languages plural) if he cooperates with us using the necklace to learn Dwarven. GM: Ack. From Kell: [Re; Actions] Kell approaches Z'leyra with an idea for the necklace. "That is an amazing wonder of magic. I have an ... //this would help kell a ton since his empathy is low\\ GM: Ack. Not sure when all this interaction is done so will insert it somewhere. From Z'leyra: [Re: Actions] Z'leyra tells Kell "I already included improvements to... GM: Ack. From Kiet: [Re: Actions] Kiet says "Well, it's good to know it has those attribute... GM: Ack. From Z'leyra: [Re: Actions] As far as the next adventure goes I abstain from the vote. One, Z'leyra, Scott only knows what will happen to and with her. Two, I think I would be happy with any of the choices. GM: Ack. That surprises me. One I don't know. :) At this point all could die or all could get a new love interest. I have a generic idea only. You guys tend to surprise me and that shifts things. Abstain. Interesting. From Kell: [Re: Actions] Kell smiles and replies, "Excellent!" Clapping her... GM: Ack. From Kell: [Re: Gift] [Jan 27 - that night around the fire over dinner] Knowing the party is a few days away from their destination, Kell speaks to everyone but mostly to Unali over their meal. "Unali, I know you have only one magic dagger when you fight. For the Earth Bridge daggers, I created two. They are both good dirks, solid and good craftsmanship. If you want, I can enchant and increase it and give you one. Then when you fight, you can use both magic daggers. What say you Unali?" Kell will wait for an answer, but plan to perform the spells for Unali's dagger this very evening. "Kiet, I can also craft you a weapon. Dorhak, once possible I offer my services to craft a magic mace for you. Whilst we are new, all of us should have the best equipment possible." ------------------------------------------------------------ [New Stuff] [Janaq 27th, 1635TH] [Zen'da Western Plains] [Time: 8:15 pm] That night around the fire over dinner] Knowing the party is a few days away from their destination, Kell speaks to everyone but mostly to Unali over their meal. "Unali, I know you have only one magic dagger when you fight. For the Earth Bridge daggers, I created two. They are both good dirks, solid and good craftsmanship. If you want, I can enchant and increase it and give you one. Then when you fight, you can use both magic daggers. What say you Unali?"

Dorhak, once possible I offer my services to craft a magic mace for you. Whilst we are new, all of us should have the best equipment possible." -------- [Febris 2nd, 1635TH] [Zen'da Western Plains] [Time: 6:41 am] As the party packs up he asks. "So we are here at the border. What is the plan now?" Z'leyra declares that passing the hills the party would then head north entering the forest, crossing the river and heading due north. If we encounter a patrol please let me make the initial approach. Fuk looks to Lucria and shrugs then back to Z'leyra as she mounts. "I've read this land is closed and is very hostile. No words of warning? Caution? I mean you drag us here to the border after 3 weeks and we assume all is safe. This is why I read up on this land. Maybe you should at least warn the others?" [Time: 7:12 am] Kell approaches Z'leyra with an idea for the necklace. "That is an amazing wonder of magic. I have an idea to improve it for those of us who are not very empathic. Can you add an Empathy boost to it, while wearing it?" Z'leyra tells Kell "I already included improvements to both empathy and will to increase the chance of the person learning and how much they learn when using the necklace." Kiet says "Well, it's good to know it has those attribute enhancements. I don't know if it might interfere with any other attribute items any of us might have." Kell smiles and replies, "Excellent!" Clapping her on the shoulder. [Time: 7:21 am] Kiet has been rather curious about the little man. He is smaller in height than Kiet, but might easily outweigh him, if not be a good deal stronger. Also, there is the fact that, as an Elder wizard, Kiet sees some connection there. Especially with the elemental aspects. Kiet approaches the dwarf and says in broken Kameran "You have probably guessed by now that I am a wizard amongst other things. I am an Elder wizard. I use magics very similar to those of your brethren. One of the spells I know allows me to learn a language. If you would consent to me learning your common tongue, I will attempt it ( it causes no harm to you), but in exchange, I will ask Z'leyra if she will let you use her magic necklace to learn Marentian...that is the language we as a group use in common." Z'leyra repeats her offer of allowing the Dwarf to use the necklace to try to learn a language (or later languages plural) if he cooperates with us using the necklace to learn Dwarven. "Well,laddie, I've appreciated your helping feed me." "Yes, I have seen you tossing around fire. What you did to that worm was, um, what we call a bit excessive!" "Anyway, maybe I do owe you something for that. If you can convince the lass who likes to show so much skin to let me use her magic bauble, and it works for me, then I might agree to teach you." "It might make things around here easier for me too." Dorhak grins as he rides or tries to ride on Z'leyra's horse. "I just wish I had some good drink...something like Ballbreakers Black Ale. Gods of stone and silence, I would even consider drinking Ironbellys, it's been so long!" Kiet's been talking to the dwarf a bit. It's not easy as neither of them are very good at the one language they have in common. Kiet comes over to Z'leyra and asks her "Would you mind if our little friend..." Kiet smiles at this since Dorhak is the only one in the group smaller than is he!..."if he could use the language necklace? He really should learn Marentian. Besides, it will do him some good if he really does head south like he mentioned." "This wasn't part of the bargain, lassie. Hmmm..but you have been generous to allow me the use of your shogging beast..er, sorry, your horse. At what seems to be inconvenience to you. I will agree to teach just you, Z'leyra of the Kameri, and Kiet for his kindness in feeding me this trip. But only the common tongue." Fuk leans in toward Lucria and whispers. "Those 3 are very buddy now. It is odd that the dwarf joined and wants to go back to a land he was what?..kicked out of?" Lucria nods, "yes very odd. I'm keeping my eye out on all of them." Actions? Comments? Next Update..Monday?? GM: A short update. Sorry for no Monday update but with working that day it was hard to finish it. Then last 3 days started later than wanted so this is very short. I had hoped to cross the border by now and be halfway there. But nope. So maybe next week. Once we cross border all retro actions should be completed. Things will probably slow down going hour by hour rather than day by day. I am in the process of working with 3 other new players. Adding them in at this point will be difficult due to the closed land. So may have to be when back in Marentia. I'll work on some aspects Saturday. But I am off Monday so will start for sure update monday afternoon if I can start on time (not late). I had wanted to do far more but no time now. Happy Halloween!!!!

GM: Character updates: Been working on cleaning up sheets. If you need new copies let me know. Dorhak - Marentian EL11 now based on being around others This is basically being around folks getting some experience. But if you use necklace it might be higher? Actually no! Based on your stats and learning a different race's language you'd actually get a lower EL. So... Pyan - Marentian EL70 so you know the language well. Fremea - Reminder +1 CEL! Congrats Kell: I started work on that Ebony file and it started out well but didn't like results so I'll restart. Hopefully next week? You say above plan to enchant is this a Will do or a Plan to? So I can process the spells on 12/27? Unali - Added missing bag. The gear is a bit messy. Just before you went away got that first gear resetup info then got missing before did the second IBT. So when you returned was too late to do much of the work so we can redo the messy gear later. But I made the changes requested from the old emails. :) Arawn - I will not finish your sheet until you say you are done with spells up to this point to the border. Since you often do a spell from 3 months in the past :) So let me know. If possible by Monday. BTW in working with new characters I made a asterik * sheet that might be easier to load. I also learned that the sheet I use works fine in OpenOffice. Format is kept in place fine but not in Note/Wordpad. Just something to consider though I may work on new formats lter. GM: Votes: Everyone but Arawn, Fremea have voted. Kiet? did you vote? Seems like you did but I can't find the email/details? GM: Necklace: So just to clarify Dorhak will use it on Feb 2 to learn Marentia? Kiet will use magic to learn from Dorhak? Necklace hasn't been used at all since Dec 3rd so a bit late for folks to learn Kameran. :< There might be 2 more chances before get to destination. But probably just one more after Feb 2 so Feb 3rd open slot and maybe one more if lucky but doubtful. GM: Mana Report - Except for Arawn's mana everything is updated to this point. I will probably clear the experience for the final leg of adventure next week so view before it goes away. GM: Map: Z'leyra did a plot on the final leg. This is a red/orange line. Can view it now online on my site if interested. It should only be 2 days of travel. GM: Bounces: For years I've gotten bounces probably way back when Chion was in game. These bounces come in about a dozen at a time. At this point I just delete them as its not much I can do. It seems some person out there got infected by a spam virus and their email hijacked. So it tries to spam folks. The isps bounces all this which is good but its annoying. I just delete them. So to re explain an posts not in Recap above or Archives I never got unless its email and private. This last week I lost a couple things. What I do is copy all emails (extract to file) form main pc (email) to this pc my old clunker where all my pnp stuff is. I then strip the headers and format posts. Then copy back to a floppy disk and upload those to my site. This is why a bit of delay. When I did this time I lost 3 files due to some confusion and files got zeroed out. I went back to verify and hope I got it all but if not yell. :) GM: Final Leg estimated: Feb 2 -- Plains 15 Miles Forest 2 miles River/Crossing Forest 10 Miles Camp in Forest Feb 3 -- Forest 15 Miles Hills ~25 miles
