Dargan pages to everyone in the room: ~Okay, let's start moving in closer. Will those in human form try to keep down for now, please? I 
might ask for volunteers to act as decoys later, since you are not Verdimm and will be very difficult for them to spot mentally.~
Turgul crouches, following Dargan.
You paged everyone in the room with 'The rest of the scene will take place in this room, since it's a huge geographical area.'.
Antonio frowns slightly as he crouches.
Liannaria crouches down, grinning slightly.
DeWolfe breaks into a sweat and crouches down, wincing.
Alistan changes position little to creep after Turgul and Dargan. He looks awkward due to his size, but the movements are sure and smooth.
Liannaria quietly winds a dark-colored scarf around her hair and the lower part of her face.
The camp of the Marswt slowly becomes visible through the stunted trees and mist of the marsh.
DeWolfe pages: ~~~can i cast a spell without tipping the enemy off now?~~~~
Dargan nods approvingly at Lian.
You paged DeWolfe with '~A small one. If it is not Sha'Crin, it should go unnoticed.~'.
Alistan flushes slightly, then raises the hood of his cloak to cover his shining scalp and shadow his countenance.
DeWolfe pages to everyone in the room: gathers magical energy of a simple nature and weaves the spell quickly.
You paged everyone in the room with '~If anyone has any non-Sha'Crin spells available that are powerful, I would appreciate you keeping them 
on mind, as that should confuse the _hell_ out of the Marswt.~'.
You paged DeWolfe with '~What are you doing, BTW?~'.
Liannaria pages to everyone in the room: Lian gathers magical energies about her, of an invasive nature.
The camp is now visible just beyond a small stand of brush and dead trees. The camp is clearly shut down, or they would have seen us by now.
DeWolfe clothing darkens and mottles along with his armor and weapons and even his skin takes on similar hues until he pratically blends in 
with the foilage.
Antonio pulls the collar of his cloak up to partially conceal his face.
Turgul nods towards DeWolfe with appreciation. ~Now why didn't I think of that?~
All the Lemesech alter the color of their scales, copying DeWolfe's trick.
DeWolfe pages to everyone in the room: ~Something I have found useful in other jungle settings...place called Vietnam...remember Alistan?"
Alistan grimaces. His cloaked head nods slightly.
Antonio rolls his eyes, and just uses _mud_.
Amouria has reconnected.
Dargan pages to everyone in the room: ~Sigh. We're not used to fighting outside the jungle. I and my brood will scout, please wait for a few minutes.~
Liannaria grins at Antonio, and hands him another scarf.
You paged Liannaria with 'No, not at all. Why?'.
You paged Amouria with 'What happened?'.
You paged everyone in the room with '~Anyone know any good loud noise spells?~'.
Turgul grins sadistically.
Dargan slithers through the trees towards the camp.
Liannaria groans softly, sinking closer to the ground.
Lemesech Strike Force slither through the trees towards the camp.
Antonio pages: ~We don't want to wake them up do we?#
You paged everyone in the room with '~Ahh, but you see the Marswt have very, very good hearing... But in the opposite direction of the Lemesech. We could produce a sonic boom that would confuse and anger them, possibly even hurt them, without affecting us at all, and you outsiders only a little. It's hard to gauge the numbers on a sleeping camp...~'.
Liannaria glances at Turgul, perspiration running down her face.
A nearly invisibly camouflaged form of DeWolfe trips in the bushes and stifles an outcry.
Liannaria pages: ~~~I have some illusions, but I don't know that they make all that much noise~~~the sending is colored with surpressed emotions, very strong ones. If you can read into it, let me know and I'll explain.
You paged Liannaria with '~Is something wrong?~'.
You paged Liannaria with 'I can read you against your will, but I won't, ICly it would be totally against character.'.
Liannaria pages: (very tight mental voice)~~~no....just difficult...nothing you need to worry about~~~
You paged Liannaria with 'Also, think of telepathy as normal by-touch mental contact: you would know.'.
You paged Liannaria with '~You sure? OK.~'.
Antonio glances in the general direction of DeWolfe.
You paged DeWolfe with '~What happened?~'.
Liannaria pages: the best impression/description I could give you, I suppose, would be the impression you'd get off a cat in heat. 
Dargan returns.
White teeth appear in a smile in bushes...
Lemesech Strike Force returns.
DeWolfe pages: ~Nothing...just distracted by Lian...Sorry, I'll be more careful...~
Dargan pages to everyone in the room: ~OK, they do not appear to have much in the way of scouts out during the day, but there is the occasinal patrol. Very disorganized. There should be a pack of 4 or 5 of them coming this way in a few imnutes, if they follow pattern.~
You paged everyone in the room with 'lian,de=You feel a mental wall come up between you. ~I'm sorry, I can't let you two distract each other. If you wish to leave, you may, and I will offer any aid I can, but I'm not about to avoid offending you two at the risk of my life.~'.
You paged everyone in the room with 'Fuck, that was just supposed to be to lian and de, please igjore.'.
DeWolfe pages: ~I'm no child! It's too dangerous to _not_ be able to communicate, and I already told you it wouldn't be a problem.
DeWolfe pages: ~How else are we to experiment with the limits of this form of communication?~
You paged everyone in the room with '~All right, I want these bats taken down quickly and quietly. If any of the outsiders are willing to go out and wait in the mud as a front line of attack, the advantage of you not being on the Verdimm psyckic wavelength will be considerable.'.
Alistan moves forward to join the front line. The muddy ground makes his cloak soggy, but it DOES blend well.
Liannaria nods tightly, looking slightly stressed.
You paged everyone in the room with 'lian,de=The wall weakens: emotions are muffled, but conciously-chosen words are fine. ~I apologize, perhaps I overreacted. I'm not used to being in combat situations, please bear with me.~'.
Antonio shrugs.
Antonio moves forward
You paged DeWolfe with '~Lian seemed very distracted, but I concede.~'.
Antonio lags like hell.
You paged everyone in the room with 'Boy, I jsut fucking suck :-) Please ignore again.'.
From afar, to everyone in the room, Antonio Has his fingeres in his ears.
You paged DeWolfe with '~I of course would not interfere in your communications were I not scared as hell right now, nor will I keep it up after we're done here.~'.
DeWolfe pages: ~Remove it completely. Emotions are another form of communication...I'll tell you what we figured out tactically about using this form of communication later...
Alistan pages: let's get this show on the road...I'm outta here in 15 minutes...didn't expect it would take this long.
You paged DeWolfe with '~Alright, I trust your judgement. It was the... mammalianness of the Lian's that I was surprised by. it's done, tell her.'.
You paged everyone in the room with 'Sorry, our other pupetteer appears to be idle-dead.'.
Squad of Marswt created as object #9757
Liannaria pages: ~~~lian's thoughts are a low, steady growl when you ~talk~ to her~~~
Squad of Marswt walks towards the copse of trees, apparently paying them no special attention.
You paged DeWolfe and Liannaria with '~We'll talk later, OK?~'.
Dargan notices the Marswt and slowly slithers towards them.
Lemesech Strike Force follows Dargan.
You paged everyone in the room with 'Was anyone waiting for the marswt in the mud?'.
Antonio pages to everyone in the room: Yeah...
Alistan pages: I believe I had moved forward into the mud...10 minutes left till quitting time...
Alistan pages to everyone in the room: yep
Turgul gathers magical energies. ~Any spells not designed for the main force, now would be a good time...~
Squad of Marswt moves closer to the group of Lemesech, and finally just about steps on one.
Antonio readies himself in the mud, with his sword.
You paged everyone in the room with '~Now.~'.
Turgul runs out of the trees to help his friends.
A huge snake tail wraps itself around a Marswt warrior, beggining to strangle him.
Three other Marswt are pulled from their feet, leaving 4 standing.
Squad of Marswt charges towards Turgul, who is making himself a target.
Liannaria pages: any obvious weaknesses on these things? anything useful to aim at with either standard weapons or spells?
Turgul takes a skull (familiar to some of you) out of his robe.
DeWolfe pages: guns work right?
A large arm reaches out from a brown lump in the mud. Alistan snatches deftly at one of the Marswt warriors, and ties him up in a variant on a pain hold. He wrenches strongly at the creature and you hear the snap of dislocated and broken bone.
You paged Liannaria with 'Nothing unusual, they still look like people.'.
You paged DeWolfe with 'Absolutely not. Even wierd alloys fail sometimes.'.
DeWolfe pages: what's the warfare of these guys? will basic elements retain their properties?
You paged everyone in the room with 'Figure Amber or Chaos warfare, everyone.'.
Liannaria pages: so, I can hit em with spells, and you'll detail the results?
DeWolfe draws his sword.
You paged DeWolfe with 'Yes, steel works.'.
Alistan pages: What STR for close combat?
You paged Liannaria with 'Yup.'.
You paged Alistan with 'Chaos, maybe amber in exceptional cases.'.
Liannaria pages: and special effects are ok?
DeWolfe pages: how many are there? and what about the elements titanium and carbon?
You paged everyone in the room with 'STR is Chaos, maybe amber in exceptional cases.'.
Alistan pages:  then this'll be short...
You paged DeWolfe with 'sure. There are 8, four standing.'.
Alistan pages: you have a few warriors here...
DeWolfe pages: are there any near dewolfe or lian?
Antonio rises up out of the mud, sword first, and begins hacking into the nearest Marswt.
You paged everyone in the room with 'There are 8, four standing, three in the mud, one held by Alistan.'.
You paged DeWolfe with 'depends where you are.'.
DeWolfe pages: next to lian
The Marswt being broken by Alistan screams, and flames sprouts on Alistan's coat.
You paged Alistan with 'You forgot magic.'.
Energy swirls about Lian, and she mutters something vaguely Arabic, as swirls of glistening, crystal-like shards whirl about one of the standing Marswt, threatening to pierce and cut him to ribbons.
Alistan shifts his hold and lifts the struggling creature from the ground. He stands to his full height and heaves the badly injured beast at another of the standing creatures and follows close behind with a dive.
Antonio drives his sword into the marswt, after some preliminaries.
Alistan's heir is in danger of lighting on fire...
Alistan pages to everyone in the room: But Alistan doesn't have children? and where is the flame's source?
Suddenly as Alistan dives, a pocket of marsh gas is hit by his flame, and a small explsion rises, flames going about ten feet in the air. Fortunately, Alistan is thrown free and appears to be OK.
You paged everyone in the room with 'I meant his hair, and the flame came from teh magic of the broken Marswt.'.
DeWolfe pages to everyone in the room: 
Lemesech Strike Force suddenly explodes out of the mud, and they all have four arms and look really gruesome and upset.
Turgul drops the skull he's been holding, and it hovers in the air. Suddenly, a green flame spreads out fh the skull into the form of the creature it once belonged to, a sort of bear-dog.
Antonio hacks the Marswt, not sure whether they have any regenerative abilities, or not.
Liannaria pages: do you need any info, such as psyche, to base spell results off of? I didn't bother fposing results...figured you would mention what happened.
I don't recognize that name.
You paged DeWolfe and Liannaria with 'You are with Turgul by the trees, and some Marswt are running towards you'.
You paged Liannaria with 'Please, pose them yourself, it's more fun that way.'.
Antonio's Marswt graps teh sword, takign sever wonds, and sends a large electric shock down it.
The crystal shards cut the Marswt to bloody shreds, as Lian focuses on another target, energy forming into an icy ball in her hands.
Noises stir the camp as the Marswt become aware the of rading party's presence.
DeWolfe raises his hands and gathers magical power in a flash, uttering words so quickly it is more a mental thought than speech. A blue flash of lightning smashes into one of the charging Marswt.
Antonio flys back, and begins concentrating.
One of the Marswt notices the Lmesech transforming, and takes teh head of one clean off.
Lemesech Strike Force rips the stomach out of the offending Marswt.
Dargan rips the stomach out of the offending Marswt.
Liannaria throws the pulsing ice ball into the face of the nearest Marswt charging her. It shatters over him, freezing him where he stands, then there is a high-pitched shriek as he shatters like glass.
You paged everyone in the room with 'sorry about that last mistake.'.
Antonio pages to everyone in the room: declaring sorcery.
Turgul's dog-bear gores one of the remaining marswt.
DeWolfe steps forward to defend Liannaria. He plucks a jungle flower from a vine and hands it to her. "Well done, my sweet...fire and ice..."
You paged DeWolfe with 'Ummm, we're in a swamp??'.
Liannaria takes the flower with a smile, then considers it with a grin. energy swirling around it and her as she looks for a target.
Alistan rises from where the damp mud has put out all traces of flame. He looks about to see if any of the creatures are approaching to attack closely the sorcerous contingent.
You paged everyone in the room with 'Anyone want to do anything cool, or can we run away now.'.
Alistan pages to everyone in the room: I gotta go. My ride is taking off.
Antonio concentrates a couple more seconds, then hurls a dagger of flame at his Marswt, and it flies straight for its head.
DeWolfe pages: i was raised in the swamps of louisiana in RL, you telling me there's no flowers here? :)
Dargan takes out the few remaining Marswt.
Lemesech Strike Force takes out the few remaining Marswt.
You paged everyone in the room with 'Sigh. #9735, #9736, what's the difference?'.
Alistan seeing that everyone is fine and that it is time to move onward, heads off to make sure the path of retreat is clear.
Alistan pages to everyone in the room: later folks...
Several more Marswt are now approaching.
Alistan moves out of the Kathrow to the south, where the jungles sprawls.
Alistan has left.
You paged Alistan with 'Bye, thanks.'.
Antonio stoops to retrieve his sword.
You paged everyone in the room with '~Cover your ears!~'.
The energy around Lian fades and dissapates, and she pulls a card from a pouch at her side, considering it.
Liannaria stares at a card in her hand.
Liannaria moves forward and vanishes in a rainbow sparkle.
Liannaria has left.
DeWolfe removes a trump from his shirt, and considers it. "Turgul, we'll meet you later..."
DeWolfe stares at a card in his hand.
DeWolfe moves forward and vanishes in a rainbow sparkle.
DeWolfe has left.
You feel magic building among the Lemesech, and suddenly a high-picthed squeal, as loud as thunder, rings out, running up into the ultrasonic range.
Antonio covers his ears, moving away from the mud.
I don't recognize that name.
You paged DeWolfe and Liannaria with 'What, you leave your friends to die??'.
The Marswt fall to the ground.
You paged everyone in the room with '~Let's go!~'.
Turgul runs away.
DeWolfe pages: no, we thought you were done...retreat to village or something...was there some more/
Antonio retreats valiantly.
You paged DeWolfe and Liannaria with 'You missed my retreat cover, I made a screaching noice ot stop the Marswt from stomping on us... When you left, though, it looked like the whole camp as about to come down on us...'.
You paged DeWolfe and Liannaria with 'Nevermidn, though.'.
DeWolfe pages: sorry...
Turgul pages to Amouria, Antonio, DeWolfe, Liannaria, and Turgul: Ok, so we meet at the suppies, tend each other, and go back to base. Thanks for the scene everyone, I had a good time! :-)
Could not page Caligula and Alistan.
You paged Amouria, Antonio, DeWolfe, Liannaria, and Turgul with 'Ok, so we meet at the suppies, tend each other, and go back to base. Thanks for the scene everyone, I had a good time! :-)'.
