“Everybody back to the courtyard! The door will function like a funnel!” The Captain yelled
Brutal couldn’t argue with that logic… he continued to fire in short burst so he wouldn’t lose accuracy and slide his back along the wall moving towards the entrance they came in covering the withdrawal of the others.

.. thanks.. that helped me understand... I was more concerned with them ramming into the jail if they knew that she was on the second level and that Ash was on the first... but in any case our actions will be similar...
Tann... best to find the calibers of the guns after we take them... dont ask before hand as he might show you ... the hard way...

Subject: Time for a reckoning ...
Andrew withdrew when he saw the Hover vehicle coming… it certainly wasn’t intended to sneak up on anyone… looked like they could use a good mechanic around here… but he was glad for the noise… otherwise they might have been caught out in the open and he didn’t like the looks of those guns… chain-fed machine guns… he was glad when the thing swerved and faced the jail as it appeared to be slowing… from the looks of it he hoped it would stop before plowing into the jail… but he thought it might … even if it didn’t completely stop… he was sure the jail was strengthened to stop just that type of jailbreak.
“Andrew move quickly, whoever that is he/she ain’t no friend. I’ll cover you with the assault rifle. Now if I get a clear shot at them before you get close I’ll take it, if not you try to catch them by surprise, capture or kill e’m and cover me as I join you.” Wolf whispered to him and then moved to position himself for a better angle
Andrew nodded and with his silenced gun in hand… his eyes on the vehicle as it came up to the front of the Jail he stayed low and darted towards the side of the vehicle… he would move at an angle that would NOT put him in between Wolf and the vehicle…he raised the gun aiming towards any opening on his side that looked like it might lead to the area where a gunner might be placed to fire those two guns
If he saw any sign that he had been noticed… or if he saw a clear shot at anyone he would fire three quick shots as he moved up to the side of the vehicle… if not he would move right up to it and finding an opening he would aim inside and shoot anyone he found… he was sure they had not come in such a manner… armed as they were… just to ask them to surrender… and frankly Andrew didn’t have the time to waste attempting to take prisoners.

Subject: Question.... clarification...
... ok the hover 'thing' when it swerves and heads towards the front of the jail... is it 'still' moving at the break neck speed or does it stop?
It seems to me as if it is still moving fast as if it wont be able to stop prior to reaching the front of the jail?
Could you clarify please?
Thanks!

Topic: Demon Wind
Subject: The confrontation...
After the retreat of the shadow dread there was a brief lull as people prepared to battle it… As most prepared weapons and other things to battle the dread.. Irael sough a way to start up the hearth… he found a tinder box nearby but need wood… on a whim he rushed to the door on the back wall and threw the bar aside and jerked it open… it went out the back… against the back wall of the tavern he saw a wood pile… he snatched up an armful of split wood and rushed inside and threw it into the hearth… with the tinder he quickly got it going… then he spotted a glass jar of clear liquid next to the hearth on a counter… a quick sniff confirmed his thoughts… he threw the jar of cooking oil into the small fire he had started… the blaze burst into full glory and a roaring fire filled the hearth… he turned to face the others who had spread out among the kitchen with a smile of triumph on his face… but the smile was short lived… he saw the shadow appear in the doorway and with inhuman speed it rushed into the room headed directly for him and the fire at his back…
Several things happened in the next few moments… the shadow dread filled the center of the room… it did appear larger now that htye could see it all… apparently ‘feeding’ made it grow in size and strength… as it flashed across the room towards the fire blazing large in the hearth… people attacked it from all sides…
Danamar had snatched up the rapier Daldren had left on the counter (sorry Ody.. He got it first) … he began a prayer he hoped would effect this creature… Daldren pounced behind the creature as it swarmed into the center of the room… he lashed out with Danamar’s blue glowing sword and his own ensorcelled dagger and felt them both bite into something… the shadow paused just short of swarming over Irael… it lashed out at Daldren and only his own superior reflexes saved him as he dodged back out of instinct… a black inky tendril passed only inches from his face… his skin crawled with an eerie sensation causing the hair on his body to stand on end…
Tad saw the creature whirl and attack Daldren and used this opportunity to lash at it with his own rapier … he felt slight resistance but the creature didn’t seem to be overly effected but it did take notice of him… he pulsed in his direction… he took a step backwards trying to keep his distance… tendrils of shadow began to move in his direction… they lashed out at him…
Siraya stood just behind Tad… the man who had given her the vial of holy water… she acted seeing it coming for him… she uncorked the vial and flung the water at the thing… it was so large and looming it was hard to miss… some of the water splashed upon Tad but most of it hit the shadow thing… it recoiled from her and Tad… she effectively saved Tad from being attacked…
Seb stood by ... Sword in hand… he wasn’t sure what to do with this creature (since I didn’t get a post from him)… he stood by the back door to try and stop the creature from escaping in that direction…
Tariel did not enter the kitchen.. Instead she saw Mendez lying at the top of the stairs.. She went to him… checked him and found him still breathing… she remained on guard … (Since I havent gotten a post in two weeks)
In the kitchen the shadow dread seemed to be surrounded… Danamar had been preparing his turn undead… and now he saw the creature in trouble from the attacks and holy water… and he acted… stepping forth bravely… putting himself almost into reach of the shadow he projected the power of Therassor …
The shadow dread recoiled as Danamar seemed to glow with the light of his god… the shadow dread attempted to flee but Danamar quickly moved forward and feeling the protection of his god he embraced the shadow… the light glowing from him enveloped the creature… a powerful wail filled the air… the light became so bright that the others in the room couldn’t look any more… the wail of the creature became so loud that it hurt the ears… then with a sudden blast of light the room shook and threw people to the floor…
Rising everyone could see nothing of the creature… everyone here seemed to be alright… Danamar was the slowest to rise… he was unharmed but his strength was drained and he felt weak… his effort of funneling the power of Therassor had sapped his strength…
Danamar knows that the shadow dread was not destroyed but only banished back to it's shadowy realm...
(Ok there is the post update for the week... all for the moment seems quiet)

actually... it lasts for anywhere from end of July through almost end of August... the peak .. or middle time just happens to be the 13th.. so there is a few good days of observing... just the full moon happens to be during that time and will hamper the best viewing days... but if your in a dark area and have clear skies... look to the NorthEast... you just might be lucky...
Good luck!!!

Topic: Weird War II
Subject: doccione o gronda sporgente...
As they entered the first room of the castle proper… Brutal remembered what he had seen when he peered in earlier before they decided to stop and scavenge anything they could from the courtyard… he remembered thinking that he hoped those Gargoyles didn’t come to life …
He checked his Schemessier when he walked in and his eyes scanned the room and saw little hear except some dismembered body parts… he wasn’t sure how many people the parts were from… he wasn’t worried enough about them to bother counting parts and figuring it out… he saw little in this room…a large rug covered the floor was stained with blood… no surprise there… a few chairs here and there against the wall… otherwise there was nothing…
His eyes were drew upwards to the statues above … he paused… did he see one of them move?? … no.. just his imagination… No… they were moving..
“Holy S**t!” he exclaimed as he saw them take flight…. “LOOK OUT ABOVE!!” He yelled as he went into action… instantly he rolled to his left towards the wall to the left of the doorway through which they had entered… the wall next to what looked like a stairway headed upwards…. he came up his back to the wall… he brought up the Schemessier and taking aim on the closest gargoyle he opened up with the gun on full auto…
Brutal wouldn’t admit it but he was scared… he didn’t fear any man … but this wasn’t natural… the thing in the chasm… these living statues… they were not natural… he didn’t think any man could stand here facing such things and not feel some fear … but Brutal wasn’t the kind of man who would let fear paralyze him into inaction … he would stand and face his fear and die fighting… if necessary…

Topic: Destiny's Flight - A Serenity RPG
Subject: ...
Ken smirked at how Jon basically ignored everyone’s advice and did what he wanted… and burned out of there … that was what the Captain was like… he kind of knew that would be the result… some things never changed…
As he followed the Doc down the corridor he heard Jon behind him call out…
"Ken if you're finished cleaning the cargo bay you go to see what's up, call Grace on your way."
“Yeah sure….” he yelled back as he continued to follow the Doc… he had no intention of cleaning the cargo hold any more than he already had… when they had hauled those chickens he had helped in washing down the deck using a hose… it was as clean as he was going to get it… the Captain kept bringing up the cleaning of the hold… Ken had already told him several times that he was a hired gun… not a cleaning hand… he hoped that they wouldn’t get into it again over those Go tsao de chickens… afterall he hadn’t been the one who agreed to carry that cargo.
“Where are we going Doc?” he asked her… once she replied he paused momentarily in the passage long enough to thumb on the intercom to the engine room…
“Grace… we have a problem… meet us --Fill in where the Doc told him--“ came over the engine room intercom in Ken’s voice…

Topic: Destiny's Flight - A Serenity RPG
Subject: What's Up Doc?...
Ken had been standing at the back of the bridge near the hatchway listening and he straightened up when the proximity sensors went off… an alliance cruiser? He wondered … they hadn’t bothered them below… so he doubted they were looking for them up here…
Tess, what have you got on them?” Jason asked in a cool if clipped manner, “I cleared us through port control…so there shouldn’t be a problem,” Turning to catch the Captain’s eye, Jason spoke up again, “A suggestion Cap, I think we should just stick to the flight plan as long as we don’t give them a reason to stop us we should be fine,” Jason paused to take a breath, “Though, I think we should hit our scheduled burn as soon as it comes time. No reason to wait around on the chwen nien mohn to think up an excuse to stop us. Of course, it might not hurt to have Destiny setup for a full burn JIC,”
“I agree…” Ken said though he doubted many really cared what he thought… while he was very handy to have around in a firefight… or any fight for that matter… Ken was not the brains of this outfit by far… but everyone knew he never failed to give his opinion.. “Those Marshalls below were called away for a 4-17… they are looking for someone… they..” he said pointing at the sensor screen… “are probably just checking out anyone leaving.. I doubt they have intentions of boarding every ship… probably can just talk your way out of it… if you’re careful.” The last he added with a grin… he knew Jon seldom was careful in situations such as these… he didn’t like to take chances most of the time.
The doc stuck her head into the room.
"Umm Guys....I think I found something that you need to see. Might want to call Grace as well, we'll need her," Doc Young announced.
“D’un Yi Shia doc,” Jason said standing, “The cap, and Tess are a bit occupied at the moment, but I can come give you a hand,” as he made this statement he looked to Jon for approval after all it is his boat, “Besides, if we need more help we can always grab Ken on our way,” As he finished Jason waited on Jon’s decision before proceeding.
Ken raised an eyebrow wondering what it was that required Grace’s attention… “Something wrong with the ship?” he asked as he turned and left the bridge… he didn’t wait for Jon’s approval as he followed the Doc… he seldom asked permission for anything… it was just another of his annoying habits that was part of his charm.

Topic: Demon Wind
Subject: The killing continues...
With the downing of one of their own… everyone finally sprung into action … the shadow retreated into the walls of the Tavern… the light of Danamar’s blade seemed to cause it to withdraw… for now… but to where it had gone… who could say… but for now it gave the party a few moments to plan and tend to their downed team member…
Tad had been the first to spring up the stairs to where Mendez had cried out and fallen… he found a armored female standing over his comrade with a worried expression on her face… she seemed concerned with the condition of Mendez…
“You there, back away or prepare to defend yourself. “ Tad spoke with his rapier in his hand.
“But I’m just tryi…” Siraya started to protest when she heard the male voice yelling for her to get away or defend herself, but thought better of it and jumped back away from the fallen man when she looked up and saw the source of the voice running toward them.
Daldren soon joined Tad at the stairs… he knelt by Mendez and tried to determine his condition… he was able to detect that Mendez was alive but he could tell that he was in bad shape… giving him a dose of a potion he noticed that Mendez didn’t stir but his breathing did seem to improve…
The black-clad priest sprang up the stairs and knelt beside the fallen form of a friend with a grim look on his face. He laid a hand on the human warrior's shoulder and offered the hilt of Naaradkhelek to Daldren. "Take my sword and keep our companions safe until I can join you in the kitchen. The flames from the hearth will summon the dread back and it will not spare any of us unless we manage to banish it somehow. The blade will obey it's name: Naaradkhelek." Knowing Daldren would comply without questions, Danamar turned his attention to Mendez's. There weren't any visible wounds on the poor man's still body, but he felt incredibly cold to the touch. Taking a deep breath, Danamar checked the sorcerer's pulse and eyes to see how he faired.
“What was that thing? What is going on? Is there any way I can help?” She asked as the three work over the man, trying to preserve his life.
As Daldren moved downstairs … the cleric quickly determined that Mendez was alive and that he appeared to stable for the moment…
Hurrying back downstairs they leave Mendez there apparently with the armored female who seems to be just another tavern patron who’s sleep was disturbed by the strange occurrences…
Irael and the newcomer Knight went into the kitchen… there they found a standard tavern kitchen.. Several large tables for food preparation… but no stove… instead there was a large fireplace where pots hung or sat awaiting their use… a alcove in the hearth appeared to be where baking was done … looking around they found no wood nearby… the kitchen was cleaned and even the hearth was relatively clean.. The kitchen had two other exits from the room… one door in the back which was barred from the inside… and another door on the side which looked like a normal interior door.
With two magical weapons in hand, Daldren removed his own magic rapier from its sheath and set it upon the counter top in the kitchen. As people arrived within he spoke. "Looks like we're going to have to pull out all the stops on this one my brethren. If anyone can wield my rapier by all means put her to good use, she's stronger than most, and sharper too." Beside it he set down a single vial of holy water. "I'm not much of a praying man, but I hear creatures of the damned aren't too fond of this stuff. Make use of it.”
Having done his best with Mendez as quickly as possible, the sylvari warrior-priest stood up and joined his companions in the kitchen. "Listen up. We cannot kill the shadow dread. It is beyond our power. But we might be able to banish it back to the hell's it escaped from. The flames will attract it and it will doubtlessly try to attack any or all of us too. But it is our task to rid this place of the baneful thing and we must save the others even if we could escape ourselves."
The syl's stern gaze passed over everyone in order to make sure they've understood what he is saying. Either they will drive the creature away in one way or the other, or they will die trying. "Daldren, you and I need to work together. It seems to fear the cold flames of my sword as well as the power of Nim'megil. As I call forth the power of Therassor once more, you need to make sure the dread will not escape again. Understood?" " The rest of you will need to keep your eyes open and try to divide its attention between you, so that it will hopefully hesitate long enough for me to banish it."
While Danamar spoke they had found a couple of candles there and lit them …but before anyone could reply… a scream broke the silence of the Tavern once more… this scream sounded like a woman’s .. and it seemed to come from somewhere inside the rear of the Tavern..
Suddenly the door exiting the kitchen on the side burst inward… and a woman in a sheer nightgown stumbled in… it was a younger woman… and not Anna the Innkeepers wife… they remember seeing her helping serve drinks and food in the tavern… she was obviously staff here but no one remembered ever hearing her name…
“Anna!” she gasped … her eyes wide with fear… “This … thing grabbed her…. It… it!!”
She trembled as she stood just inside the doorway of the kitchen… suddenly something dark moved behind her and a black shadowy tendril wrapped around her waist… her eyes opened wider… her mouth dropped open and she seemed to stop breathing … there was no scream as she was yanked backwards through the doorway into the shadowy passage beyond… the pleading look in her dying eyes was something many of them would not soon forget…
They had yet to find anything to light the hearth with… so they had no large source of fire to draw it… but it seemed it was here now and the entire doorway was filled with a shadowy presence which somehow seemed larger than it had before…
Daldren still held the sword Danamar had given him… he was closest to the side door when this had all gone down… he had slipped next to the doorway when the woman had been yanked within… he raised the sword which glowed bluish and it seemed to grow in brightness… he lashed out quickly and saw the sword slice through the darkness… even though he felt nothing… the momentum of the blade seemed to be slowed as if it met resistance… the darkness recoiled and a strange unworldly wail sounded throughout the tavern as the creature quickly pulled back into the passage away from them…
(Ok there is the update… I am still not too well and struggled with making this lucid and understandable… so if anything is unclear then please ask me in Q&A)

.. I am still not feeling well this evening so Raven has more time to post.. as well as Brianna and anyone else who needs to post...
On a note to what has been posted so far.. I want to clarify the layout of the Tavern...
The party... except for Mendez and Siraya (the newcomer) .. are all on the first floor of the Tavern in the common room... Mendez and Siraya are on the second floor hallway just at the top of the stairs...
The stairwell is at the back right of the commmon room... the corner where the Dread disappeared is just below the stairwell and therefore in the back of the common room... the back of the tavern on the first floor is where the kitchen ... storage.. and the tavern keeper and family live... all guests stay on the second floor in 8 rooms there...
any other questions please let me know...
