He thinks to himself. The ring failed! Once acquired, call out in Kameri "Dorhak! Mournath! Help Arawn!" Then move in to help the other four try to kill the tusk creature. Kiet desperately wants to help kill the one that attacked Kell, and help his new 'friend' Kell. He just doesn't want to be confused with the 'other' Kiet and get impaled in the back by one of his cohorts. GM: Ack. Third quote would be 3rd phase so next update. Remind me if I forget but will try to recall. You did pick up a sword from the tribute cave. From Kiet: [Re: Actions] Do not take a chance on hitting fake Kell with the ring fire. Thanks GM: Ack. So no ring #2 on Fake Kiet. Gotcha. Yeah your fault. :) You reminded me its a 'visible' flame not a poof on target thing like I had used before. So that line of sight target to hit like flame darts points the fun. :) From Mae: [Re: Actions] Maelorna looks about for a potential playmate and spots... GM: Ack. You say braggart which is Fake-Kiet but you point to Fake-Kell. So a bit confused. You were not on the last 2 days of skype so couldn't ask. So will assume Fake-Kell. From Dorhak: [Re: Actions] This doesn't seem to be going well at all! These creatures are horribly dangerous and probably have already killed two of the people in this group. For the first time in a long time, he's somewhat afraid. Being afraid doesn't mean being a coward, however. You keep fighting till the end. That is the Dwarvish way. The gods of stone and silence demand no less. There are six of us taking on a single 'thing', as the dwarf doesn't really know what to call these evil beings, and we are barely holding our own. But now another Kiet and Kell appear? It's obvious that the Kiet holding Kell was a fake, but what is the new one? And the new Kell? Dorhak's brain isn't meant to deal with such matters. It is obvious, however, that the Kiet behind him is an enemy. It's probably killed Kell (one of them anyway) and Arawn. Dorhak hears the newly arrived Kiet and seems to agree with the 'command'. Dorhak will break off from the tusk creature and move to attack the fake Kiet that killed Kell and Arawn. GM: Ack. Yet this is what I would call a 'moderate' level encounter. :) To me the soul Davias (old form) would've been far more dangerous. But yep. They regenerate so it is hard to kill them. Think of it s a clown car they seem to come out looking the same. :) ------------------------------------------------------------ [New Stuff] [Febris 9th, 1635TH] [Time: 5:01 pm] [Unknown Location] [Audience Room - Current room] [Phase 9] Kiet raises his arm to fire his second blast at the Fake-Kiet. But Fake-Kell is right there. While the shifter is a possible enemy he did help him. Kiet curses mentally and lowers his arm. He activates his magical boots, hoping they are indeed the magical ones and not Fake-Kiet wearing them. He quickly slams the boots together twice to activate them. Kiet curses out loud, "Damnation!" He activates his boots for speed not the other stuff yet. Now being just as fast as Z'leyra, Kiet runs north to the gear pile. He scans the pile. He spots his shield fast. But the tulwar takes a second longer. A few good blades and swords. He tosses the sword he found in the tribute room and grips his tulwar. He glances up at Fake-Kell holding the Cryx and Fake-Kiet. Only about 12 or so feet away. A clear line of sight now! Z'leyra swings and slices off the left 'arm' of tusk shifter #3 doing 17 points. The magical sword slices off the arm and it falls to the ground. There is very little to no blood more a yellowish-orange fluid that seems to fall out of the socket. Fremea at Kell's side feels a very faint pulse. But she is no healer of humans so unsure if that is a weak or strong pulse. She checks the wound by the fake-Kiet to his ribs. Tearing a piece of tunic off she tries to stop the bleeding that is pouring out fast. At least she knows if there is blood his heart is still working. She wonders where Z'leyra to help him is? Maelorna looks about for a potential playmate and spots a shifter, 'The braggart' she thinks and gives it a knowing smile as she instructs Zin, "Kill it, my love!" while pointing at the fake Kell and turning towards the creature before flying towards it. She could almost find companionship amongst them, well, if not for their desire to dissect her that is. Mae flies toward Fake-Kell. But she ends up right behind Mournath and next to Kiet. She stares at the gear pile at her feet looking for a dagger to use. Unali moves to help the party members attacking Shifter #3. She stabs at Tusk Shifter #3 but misses as it dodges and weaves. She misses her second good dagger. Zin moves north west to go find Mae's new target the Fake-Kell. But ends about 35 feet away. Tusk Shifter #3 fearing death is coming tries to recall a creature from the air to change to. But it has been so long. He can't recall the rules for wing length and body mass. The pain of losing his arm is too much and so he reforms again. This time he adds 5 arms for a total of 6. At the end of each he forms large sharp claws. Then he begins to twirl in place like a spinning top. He weaves back and forth a couple of feet creating a whirlwind of motion with his claw-hands hoping to hit targets at random. Claw-Hand #1 swipes at Mournath but he raises his spear and deflects it in time. Two claw hands strike at Fuk but the constable steps back and dodges them both. One Claw Hand strikes at Unali but her magical dagger warns her and she ducks in time. One claw strikes toward Pyan but misses as well. One Claw hand strikes toward Z'leyra and her chest doing 5 points of damage past her magical chainmail. The last claw hand strikes at Bull-Thrall-Shifter #2 but does not hit him. Fremea's thrall Shifter #2 tries to stab back using speared like arm at Shifter #3 but fails to hit as it spins and spins. Fake-Kiet turns to Fake-Kell, "traitor!" He then changes back to humanoid form and tries to strike the shifter-ally but only does 1 point of damage in the wild swing. At the same time Fake-Kell raises the Cryx at Fake-Kiet's chin and rams it up under his chin. The orb begins to spark as it makes contact and starts to merge into the face of Fake-Kiet. Tissue and flesh begin to peel away as the Cryx merges with the shifter's head doing 19 points of damage to the Shifter. Maybe Fake-Kell doesn't know how to use the magical thing to his advantage yet. Unconscious Arawn can hear whispers and songs in his mind. He can't make it out as the pain it intense Darkness in his mind as it begins to close off. Arawn mentally reaches out for contact but darkness seems to come at him from all sides in his mind. Mouranath stabs his spear at Shifter #3 but misses. Fuk and Pyan all use sword and spear to hit Shifter #3 but both men fail to hit the spinning creature. Dorhak upset about this whole situation channels his anger and swings his mace at Shifter #3 hitting him in the chest doing 19 points of damage. The shifter collapses to the ground and doesn't seem to move. Z'layha sees Shifter #3 fall and figures Fake-Kiet is the threat. She moves in that direction ending up only 10 feet away. [Phase 10] Kiet raises his tulwar lowering it down but raises his hand. He now has a clear line of sight and fires his second blast of his ring. The flame impacts right onto Fake-Kiet and dances across his chest burning flesh doing 36 points of damage. Which would for most creatures kill them right out but this thing is still standing! Kiet yells out to the others, "Don't hurt the Kells!", Z'leyra sees Shifter #3 and then notices Shifter #2 right besides her. Going with her plan to attack the nearest shifter she turns and stabs the thrall of Fremea. The great sword impales the thrall doing 27 points of damage to his chest. Mae hovering over the pile and only 2 feet from Kiet hears him yell. Don't hurt them? Why so she can play with them later? Sure. She bends down and takes a dagger from the numerous pile of them and flies toward Fake Kiet and tries to stabs the burning creature but misses. Unali sees Shifter #3 not moving and bends down to stab it a few times to ensure it can't regenerate. She glances up to see Z'leyra attacking the one that just helped them. Shifter #2 just impaled by Z'leyra looks at Shifter #3 with his orders complete. He lowers his arms to his sides and stands there. Zin lumbers toward Fake-Kell passing Kiet. It reaches the area finding Fake-Kell blocked by Mae. Zin gently lifts Mae and moves her away to get to Fake-Kell (#5). Zin in his haste tries to shove with force Fake-Kell but does little damage. Mae grunts at the forward nature of Zin and then realizes he places her only a foot away from that annoying sister of Z'leyra! Fake-Kiet reaches up both harms to try to pry Fake-Kell's arm and Cryx away. But with the flames and the pain there is a struggle that he fails to muster strength. Fake Kell looks to Zin and glares but continues his struggle to force the Cryx into Fake-Kiet's head and it enters up to his cheek and nose distorting and destroying flesh doing 17 more points to Fake-Kiet's head but it is amazing the shifter remains standing. Unali knows Fake-Kiet is more a threat and stands moving away from Z'leyra and toward him in the corner. A tactical mistake to be backed into a corner. She ducks under the hovering Mae and leaps over the gear pile. But then suddenly falls to her knees when she falls onto Arawn. Being a acrobatic skilled person she falls gracefully not plunging the dagger into his chest or doing damage. She begins to touch his body not seeing it. She can feel dampness all over his chest and realizes he is bleeding. She does a mental picture in her head. She tries to account for everyone. Including Z'layha. This has to be Arawn. Fake-Kiet stabs one claw hand at Fake-Kell doing only a few minor points of damage. At the same time Fake-Kell realizes Zin could be a threat. He likes to play that game with the hooks. Why is Zin after him now? Fake-Kell pulls the cryx away from Fake-Kiet's skull and turns to attack Zin. Using it as a weapon to impale again he swipes at Zin but it does only very minor damage against the tough hide. Zin extends his arms toward Fake-Kell but when the Cryx hits him it forces him to drawn back and use his arms to deflect rather than using his hook arm tactic. Mae sees Fake-Kiet's skull melting and his body burning but is still up. But that infernal Unali is in the way. She raises both legs and flies toward Fake-Kiet. She stabs at the burning disgusting creature hitting doing 7 points of damage. Fake-Kiet falls backwards toward Fake-Kell. They both collide and fall to the ground. Kiet leaps over the pile of gear glaring at Mae for letting Zin harm Fake-Kell. Seeing Fake-Kell under Fake-Kiet he rushes toward Fake-Kiet and stabs him with his tulwar doing the final damage to kill him. Then with his boot he shoves Fake-Kiet off Fake-Kell and turns around to face Zin with his shield raises ready to defend Fake-Kell. Z'leyra confused by Shifter #2's lack of action takes the easy strike and impales the shifter doing another 28 points of damage but he remains leaking and standing. Unali seeing Zin right next to Kiet realizes Zin could probably kill him. There is little she can do for Arawn so stands. With her behind Zin she stabs the creature in the back of the neck doing 30 points of damage. For most beings it would kill them. But for Zin it does nothing but wound him. Zin reaches out for Kiet and slams him away like a fly toward the north wall. He moves toward Fake-Kell. But as both creatures move at the same instant Fake-Kell crawls forward and grabs the Cryx. "I always wanted to do this Zin!" He stabs the Cryx right at where most men have their groin doing 28 points of damage as it penetrates the softer flesh of his abdomen and enters his body proper. Mournath seeing Z'leyra wounding #2 turns and sees Kiet tossed like a rag doll by Zin. Knowing what the creature did to Zin he charges and stabs Zin in the back wit his spear doing 9 points of damage. Zin falls to his knees and collapses. Z'leyra stabs the dumb thrall and does the damage to kill him. Fuk sees Zin fall and anger boils in. He charges forward and stabs the creature a few times to ensure that Zin is dead. Kiet gasps of air but yells out, "Dorhak! Mournath! Help Arawn!" Dorhak turns to see the scene behind him. Zin falling. Kiet slammed against the wall. That demon Mae hovering in the corner. Kell #2 stabbing Kiet #2 with that glowy stick and that had to hurt right there in the guy area! But then Kiet yells to help Arawn. He looks around but sees no Arawn. Where is he? Z'layha stops and surveys the scene. Two more shifters dead. But this one that looks Kell seems to not be hostile. So she stands and watches. Fake-Kell drops the Cryx and looks at Arawn. Since he can see him clearly. He leans down and touches the Alfar. As he does his back forms a appendage and it moves toward Kell to check his pulse and touch him. A quick mental touch of the minds and Fake-Kell looks around. From his mental touching of Kiet he looks for the leader. The one called Z'leyra. There some distance away. He speaks in Marentia. "Healing will do nothing for them. The gods who send magical healing doesn't apply here. Items might help. But I can save one now. Choose one of them and do it quickly as both are at death." The party all look at Z'leyra. Who to save? Kell or Arawn. Arawn might be their only way out of this place. But it is a hard choice. She could rush and risk healing but if there is no way for the gods to touch magical mental energies in this prison then it might be too late to save them. Those near the gear pile get the rest of their gear like Unali, Mournath, Fuk and Pyan. Actions? Comments? Next Update.. Saturday... GM: Leaders have sometimes to make that hard choice. This wasn't planned. But the logic is hard to get around A prison where gods have no influence. Magical healing comes from gods. Therefore. At this point combat is over unless Mae decides to attack Fake-Kell or the others do as well. But at this point I assume no one does unless stated otherwise. I will assume folks will collect their gear minus what Fake-Kiet tossed into the lava (satchel, Arawn's sword and Lucria's sword if I recall). I am on 4 hours sleep Tuesday and today both days So I am a bit foggy so hope those are the 3 items lost We will do a new update Saturday afternoon. This is a REAL update not a joke. So for Arawn and Kell this is serious. As to Thralls Zin and #2. I went with posted actions so sorry they were lost. But then again it was fun to get revenge on Zin by prisoner-Kell. :) That was just beautiful timing. Ironic that Mae does the death blow for Fake-Kiet but oh well. Since I am a bit foggy I'll do experience and such later next week.
