GM: Ack. Just one minor correction. It was south not north. In the map I list /I\ = North its a arrow of sorts so top of screen is north. :) This is 99% of all maps I do. BTW. From Dorhak: [Re: Actions] If Dorhak ever gets the chance, he will move immediately over to where Kiet is and reach for his mace and shield! GM: Ack. From Arawn: [Re: Actions] Arawn, so focused on gaining control of both the ... "Slay the Tame, Fremea!," he called out, recalling how ... GM: Ack. From Fremea: [Re: Actions] She has been thinking that a lot of this does not seem ... (EL0, since that is all she can do). GM: Ack. Arawn retracted his statement in email for lieu of other actions in email. So based on this you did not hear it. But I will do some rolls to see if you figure it out based on his eyes and mannerism. Ok. Did not pick up the cues. But I did a Int Roll and you recall the Vong thing. So I'll allow it. :) From Arawn: [Re: Actions] A moment later and Arawn had made his decision, hoping... "Translocating everyone to Kiet! Don't resist!," he ... [As Z'layha doesn't understand Marentian he'll repeat this in Kameran in the next phase if she's still unable to move/free. He'll skip including her in the spell this phase because of this.] GM: Ack. Ahh. Thought of Z'layha. Ok. :) ------------------------------------------------------------ [New Stuff] [Febris 9th, 1635TH] [Time: 5:01 pm] [Unknown Location] [Audience Room - Current room] Arawn, so focused on gaining control of both the whistle and himself, nearly smacked his hand to his forehead for missing Mae's control of Zin. It was too late now, her thrall now translocated alongside the other shape-shifters, but he trusted her to take full advantage of her newly acquired mastery. And hopefully Zin would survive - answers and guidance would prove most useful if they were to escape the divine prison and perhaps end this threat in a proper manner! Maelorna regards the herculean action that Arawn performs as he takes possession of the whistle. A warning registers in her mind as her toy, Zin, is transported to the north of the cavern with the other shifters. 'Damn it, I'm not going to lose you, not yet at least.' as thoughts of watching his last moments of life fill her with a cold comfort. She curses in Lilith's Command at the interference of her desires and spotting both the blood on the altar as well the dagger. Using her wings to help her leap over the altar to grab the dagger, wanting a weapon she knows how to use. Her next thoughts and actions are of the group and she knows it's going to hurt them. She leaps, trying to fly as best she can over to Fremea and yells out to Zin, "Slow them down as you can, my love." she instructs him, hoping he will be able to survive even that endeavor. She can't bring herself to look at the Fae in her eyes and reaches about her neck to feel for the nodule and once found, grips it firmly, "Hold still, it's going to hurt," she warns, "but I think I can rip it off, mine somehow ripped itself free." Dorhak sees Mae fly over the north east edge of the altar and lands next to Arawn. The Dwarf wonders why she just didn't walk the 4 feet? God of stone and silence! That weird redheaded human isn't really human, but a demon! Are the rest of these "humans" also demons? Dorhak considers these remarks. Arawn is almost startled by the sudden leap-fly-lunge movement of Mae when she lands right besides him. But he is so focused it doesn't show on his face. As Mae leapt towards the altar, reaching for the dagger - made of the shifters own flesh and hopefully effective when used against the rugged beings - Arawn made his way towards the party. In one hand he held the whistle, in the other the gently swirling orb that was the Cyrx. Arawn pondered whether to risk the whistle, recalling the tune that freed Kiet but knowing that a false note could prove disastrous, or to invoke safer, but slower, magical methods. 'Slay the Tame, Fremea!,' he thought to himself, recalling how she did so on the Vong devices in the past. He would have done so himself but he was still too far away to catch the others. Still, there were other things he could do as he rushed closer to his companions, watching with concern as the shape-shifters closed in on his allies. At least this is what he had planned. To yell out to Fremea. But even that would take critical seconds away from other actions. With 5-6 seconds before the shifters could attack it could be too big a risk. So he only considers this in his mind. Hoping that maybe Fremea can sense through his eyes what he hopes for her. Whistle or spell... which to choose? Fremea has been thinking that a lot of this does not seem real, that she is just caught in a nightmare and none of this exists, accept one of her companions minds. But, she does play along with it for a bit and works on freeing everyone and taking care of these creatures. Once the bug is removed for her neck, she can finally cast something. She has been itching to take care of these creatures, since she could not fly. She already knew what to cast, but Arawn still has not called it out. With her fingers loose and her sidh tongue wagging, she cast Slay the Tame. But she recalls from her Vong attempts to kill the torture devices in the caves. The living creatures holding even one of her own kind. Fremea focuses but the anger builds. Being held yet again as a slave. Surely Mae should be also going crazy at this very thought. But Fremea hates this feeling. But she recalls Arawn's teaching and controls her anger. A moment later and Arawn had made his decision, hoping his choice would prove a wise one. [Phase 1] Arawn processes the scene in the south. There are 9 being held against 4 shifters. But the quickest spell he could do is at most 5 people. But who is the most vulnerable? Who could take a hit and live? Arawn reqrets the idea of choosing. But he has no choice. "Translocating everyone to Kiet! Don't resist!," Arawn called out, hoping the others would allow his magics to take effect. Arawn hopes that those closest to the shifters would be in more risk. So he chooses. He concentrates and hopes the spell works. But nothing happens! Fremea casts the slay the tame spell but she glances at Dorhak and Kell but they are too far away at 15 feet. But as she ends the spell the spider-bug pops off of her neck. It jolts Fremea from the surge in a bit of pain. But is mild As the blood trickles down the back of her tunic she unfurls her wings finally! All but Zin runs forward. Shifter #2 transforms into a large two handed bull almost like a minotaur but with two sets of horns at the top. It extends large sharp claws for hands. The creature swipes both claws at the back of Fremea with one missing but the second claw swipes in her lower left just above her waist drawing blood doing 1 point of damage It is a good thing she is still wearing her armor. Shifter #3 turns into a large 4 legged beast with a long single tusk. It roars and charges Mournath. But the tusk does not hit the sailor. Shifter #4 at the same time as his other 3 allies moves toward Pyan. But this time he remains in his current humanoid form. He lunges for the back of Pyan and slices a line with one claws on his back drawing blood for 2 points. Zin re-orients his bearings and moves north west to the red head demon thing. [Phase 2] Arawn curses under his breath. The shifters are faster than he expected. Now three of his friends are under attack. But there is hope. Fremea seems to be free. Arawn sees Z'layha relatively safe but repeats his warning in Kameran. But he now has targets to choose from to keep them safe. He chooses Dorhak, Unali, Pyan and Kell. But who for the 5th target? This leaves Unali, Z'leyra, Fuk and Z'layha. Fuk might be just far enough to avoid immediate attack. Unali and Z'leyra are strong people and should handle attacks. So he chooses Fuk. Suddenly all 5 appear by Kiet. He had hoped to move toward Kiet to help free them but he could not cast magic and move. Z'layha can now move some of her fingers. Fremea twirls around and leaps to the air. She knows she has no weapons but she is a weapon. She stares at the bull creature and leaps onto his back. Twisting with both hands she twists one of his horns and then moves to his eyes. Her fingers pierce the eyes and the shifter screams. She knows the shifter could just probably re-form new eyes. But it is something. Bull-Shifter #2 bucks trying to get Fremea off her back. But she is so small it is like a elephant getting rid of a fly. It decides to claw upwards with both claws. One misses but the left one scrapes against her left breast giving only a light touch as the armor protects her. Tusk-creature-Shifter #3 charges Unali but Z'layha yells out to warn her and this startles the shifter and his tusk misses her by a half inch. Shifter #4 moves toward Z'leyra. The shifter claws both times at her and one misses her side. But the other does hit but her armor protects her. Oblivious Zin moves past Tusk-Shifter and moves north right toward the altar. He ends up about 10 feet south of the altar looking at Mae. Kiet is getting very annoyed at not finding his other ring. He is wearing one but where is the other? He continues to spill sling projectiles and bag contents all over the ground. Then suddenly he is surrounded by five others! But they just stare and contorts their faces trying to free themselves. He hopes they are not after his gear! Fuk yells at Kiet who is only a foot away. "Dagger in my mouth!" Fuk figures if the acrobat will not do anything he'll at least kill with his head. At least its better than this so called entertainer. [Phase 3] Actions? Comments? Next Update.. Wednesday... GM: I will just do 2 phases. Mainly to allow new actions. I will do the next update Wednesday afternoon starting around noon EST. Hope to be done by 8pm ESt. Since I have a podcast that night I help with. Darn. The shifters had SUCKY rolls. I'll hope for better next update. So next update will be short again. I assume Arawn will try to translocate the rest toward Kiet (Unali, Z'layha, Fuk, Z'leyra). If those folks do not want to go let me know. Unless actions or changed Arawn will try to use the whistle and hope he doesn't cause brains to explode. :) GM: Arawn - I assume go with emailed actions. Whistle and try to get the last toward Kiet (aside from Fremea). Sadly first spell failed which was super rare. If you need phase 4 stuff let me know Fremea You are free. Your post didn't say what spell to cast once free? Want to brawl or use martial arts or a spell? Mae - Z'layha's dagger in your hand.
