Masugatan retrieves his hand axe, wiping the blood off on the fallen bandit’s face.

In reply to Masugatan (msg # 82):

Crispin catches up with another bandit in the distance...

Chris is still immobile.


The gravely wounded bandit lies at Ginger's feet.

Masugatan stows his axe, the sword is still humming.

Valerie is disarming the various bodies of their weapons.

With Crispin chasing the archers down, Christine and Emma will move to inspect the ones nearby. What is the status of the fire?

If the fleeing archer is in range of Emma, she will use the sunbolt against him. Is he in range?

The sisters work together to tie up the archer Ginger had bowled over while Christine, Emma, and Crispin deal with the last of the fleeing bandits.  Between them they manage to make a fairly ugly tangle of several yards of one end of their rope.

Christine will Extinguish Fire to put it out...

"Thank you, but I should be fine..."

She will then return to check out what can be done with Chris.

Magugatan heads to the sisters to see if they require assistance as the Butcher’s Blade throbs in his grip.

Ginger starts to separate the bandit from their weapons and valuables. Coinage that may be insignificant to others in the group would still make his empty coin pouch happy.

"Of course it is. And you're not saying I a thief, I'd like to think," Ginger replies pausing in his task.

"Not at all. Just reminding everyone to keep the takings from this fight separate from their personal stash until we distribute everything to avoid any such claims. Doing the right thing is important, but it is also important to be seen doing the right thing."

In reply to Christine Bjorn (msg # 94):

the very last of the bandits is running away east, with a trail of smoke.
the others are more easily rounded up.

they have cheap weapons, although one has a fine small knife, and a grand total
of 3 silver and 29 copper coins.
their armor was patched leather gambesons and they wore soft worn boots.

one has a goatskin thong with an incised lead amulet.


Chris can be moved, but Christine is not strong enough to do so.

"Keep after him, Crispin!"

Once the equipment is gathered up, Christine asks "A little help to move Chris out of the No-mana zone, if I could? After that, i suspect we should track the run-away back to their lair quickly. In case they have a stash."

The sisters shed their packs and approach Chris, sizing up the load.

OOC: Between them, they can lift around 450 lb.; tipping Chris onto his heels and dragging, or (carefully!) lowering him onto his back to slide, they ought to able to move a good bit more than that.  His weight will necessarily include his armor, however, as getting it off him when he's frozen would require dismantling the armor.

Emma will assist by taking off the pack.

Chris weighs a total of around 235 lbs in armour, with around 70 lbs carried.

Curious, as an automaton, Chris has no reliance or dependence on Mana. Why was he disabled?

OOC: Chris is a golem of sorts created by Christine at chargen (rules changes make such an ally effectively impossible now).  I presume the reasoning behind his immobilization is that he's dependent on mana for propulsion or control.  Like any enchanted item, he ceases to function in No Mana (or most likely in Low Mana, when all his enchantments suffer -5 skill), but will recover function once removed to Normal Mana or higher.

When the remaining (still presnt) bandits are secured Ginger moves accross to help with trying to move Chris back into an area where mobility can be regained, offering, "Here, please let me try and help."

OOC: @Evelina, TY for the fill-in!  :)
Ginger can stagger about with a couple of hundred pounds.

In reply to Evelina Grattan (msg # 101):

Dependency (Mana) was not part of the options in Basic Characters or Magic, it was developed as a disad a few years later, and I would freely add it onto any magical items.  I was just reading through a number of templates and it is missing except for a few fairie types.

In any case the temporary mana destruction was freakish and Weird, and the result of a critical failure on the Weird magic table.
