In reply to Ron, The DM (msg # 137):

Tryst pauses for a moment, "You need to get the psionic to drink it...slipping it their wine was always the most effective way. Masks the taste and the effects. Is there time to procure some?"

In reply to Morteft (msg # 141):

Tryst snorts, "How do you define the weakest? Seems like each of them are tough on their own and even tougher since they can signal the others for immediate support."

In reply to Trysk (msg # 143):

Morteft nods. "Yes, you are right although Dualis has given us an idea of some power. However, getting them on their own is the best way to approach it. We need to be able to find them, get to them and get away quickly. A mirror of mental prowess would be very helpful and a network of people who can report about them to us would help a great deal too. We don't have to have a network but maybe the military has some spies around that could help."

In reply to Morteft (msg # 144):

Shorty shakes his head.  "Me ask dat.  Dullis say dem got magic ta moves.  Ifn gets one den udders Ken comes fast.  Ifn gonna do one.  Gots me sneaky.  Makes him attaxk one a us den kills fast afore him knows be trap."

In reply to Shorty (msg # 145):

"Maybe that's the thing we should concentrate on, then.  Can we find some spell or item that would prevent their aid from coming?  Dualis, ye know of anything?"

In reply to Warwick (msg # 146):

Tryst asks, "Are each of the 9 leading an army? Perhaps the first tactic should be to have them to go to the aid of their comrades so that we can ambush their armies?"

In reply to Warwick (msg # 146):

Dualis will listen to the conversation until Warwick asks him a direct question.

"No there is no item or spell to stop their summoning.  It is a special power from Set, perhaps another greater power could stop it, nothing we have available."

Following after Trysks last statement.

"The armies are all gone, those battles have long since taken place.  It is only the 9 left.  They are expected to eliminate the last remaining powers of the planet."

In reply to Ron, The DM (msg # 148):

Tryst frowns, "If the armies are gone, then why are they travelling separately and why is it taking them so long to attack the Druid? Do they not know where he is located?"

In reply to Trysk (msg # 149):

Shorty shakes his head.   "Does make problem bees different why dem do?  Wider gots to fight all at same time.  Need big plan cause more dem den us.  Or can make trap fer some kills den fights rest.  If only could tricks to bees somewhere a udders not go.  Needs kill some afore fight. Or maybes Big Drud gots people's help us."  Shorty looks over at Dualis hopefully

In reply to Trysk (msg # 149):

"They travel separately, at this time, as they were individually taking care of fringe elements of the resistance."  Replying to Trysk  "Alannon is another matter all together and they must combine their strength, that is why they are converging on Alannon now.  As I showed you before he is at the edge of one of the few forests left. He has a trap set for the 9 I have no doubt, however it will not be enough.  I think he can hold them off for maybe 3-5 days once they reach him, 7 at the outside."

In reply to Ron, The DM (msg # 151):

Trysk says, "Then we should find out where these traps are and perhaps coordinate our ambushes with them."

Trysk also asks, "Is the enemies'ability to teleport just one way? That is, can they only teleport to each other or can they get back to where they were?"

In reply to Trysk (msg # 152):

Answering Trysks questions:

"The teleportation is similar to a Word of Recall but aligned with the individual team so they should only be able to Teleport to each other.

As far as traps, I mainly refer to a trap along the lines of an ambush.  A Grand Druid has considerable power and attuned to nature.  Allannon will have considerable resources to throw at them."

In reply to Ron, The DM (msg # 153):

"Maybe we should meet with the druid, first, and see his thoughts.  Mayhaps he can help us figure out how to cull some of these from the herd."

In reply to Warwick (msg # 154):

Shorty nods and starts to get up.  "Me ready meet Drud."

In reply to Shorty (msg # 155):

"We shall need to see their worlds council first.  Then you can work on finding Alannon.  So if you are ready to go we shall head to the Library.  Anymore questions?"

After an questions Dualis will then say, "Library" and you then find yourselves just inside the Library door.  You see Celestron fly by about 20' overhead.

"This will be your last chance for requests, once we pass to Arcturus I cannot provide any assistance, besides endorse you all, same for Kaine.  So any last requests?"

In reply to Ron, The DM (msg # 156):

"How about making us all ten times more experienced than we currently are, lad?" asks Warwick with a grin.

In reply to Warwick (msg # 157):

Morteft nods his head. "I like that. Perhaps we should go back in time for a decade and train up." He chuckles.

In reply to Morteft (msg # 158):

Shorty stares down at his broken black glove.  "Be more easy ifn glove still work.  Fights longer not bein dead.  But youse no ken do so me ready."

In reply to Morteft (msg # 158):

"I suppose we can all take a trip to the abyss and have some fun.  Might take a few days, a few Rods of Resurrection would be in order too.  Save that I think you are as good as you need to be."  he looks to the ceiling momentarily  "There is one thing I am forgetting .. oh, yes."  a scroll appears in is hand and he presents it to Morteft.

"This will come in handy if you all get in a tight spot and the group is in a bad way."

--DM2

In reply to Shorty (msg # 159):

Dualis looks over at Shorty.  "You are probably better off without that thing Shorty."

--DM2

In reply to Ron, The DM (msg # 161):

Shorty shrugs, "Maybe sos.  Maybe not sos.  Shorty keen hits hard buts be toos big not get hit.  Glove always make hurts gets better.  Sword keen do two time, but glove keeps workin alls time.  But do best keen do.  Me learn hard way wide troll King.  Ken die ifn nots bees careful."

In reply to Shorty (msg # 162):

As a matter of fact : "Can die even if you are careful."  then to Morteft  "Oh, the scroll is Limited Wish.  It is the most I can do without drawing attention.  Use it wisely."

He looks at you all:  "Ready to go?"

--DM2

In reply to Ron, The DM (msg # 163):

"Aye, lad.  We've been jawin long enough.  Time to get on with it."

In reply to Warwick (msg # 164):

Morteft says, "Thank you, Dualis. I will be careful with it."

In reply to Morteft (msg # 165):

Shorty stands and waits for Dualis to lead the way.
