Timing on the Fairie Incident

Because you usually start you post with the time of the beginning of the period of time of the post, I am a little confused on timing for the event with the fairies.

Londelirinen Kingdom
Sylvari village this is where I got the Idea I was at a village It should had been Duin Shee Dalnya
riverbank
6th day of the 8th month: Temoth Ore
7:26 pm

Morya proved a fine horse, but not as special as Gharion had been. She took the terrain with power, but it was hard here at the borders of the Chakran Mountains. The forest sloped up and down, grew thin at times, wilder a moment later. The ground was mushy, saturated with water from the nearby river. It was impossible to keep the black mare at high speed and not wear her out.

In the evening of the same day she arrived at the bank of the Duin Shee Dalnya, the River of the Fairy Footprints. The story of this river’s naming was one Elessarae could not recall, but she had heard of the reputation of these waters. It appeared a calm river, looking shallow and undeep. But it was false to believe so.

The next crossing was a few miles westward, and the bladesinger followed the path along the river. She crossed the bridge over the river when the moon had already begun to rise, and it was then that she noted a glitter across the water. Comrade had noticed it as well, and he stepped closer in curiosity.

Suddenly three silver glowing orbs sprang from the surface, like inverted drops of rain reflecting the light

of the moon a dozen times stronger. They were fairies of the river, and they showed a remarkable interest in Comrade’s skin, light as it was in the moon's glow.

Alloryen Kingdom
Duin Shee Dalnya riverbank
6th day of the 8th month: Temoth Ore
9:06 pm This seems to be the time of the attack, at the end of the post.

The three fairies hovered around Comrade a little longer before turning their attention to Elessarae. She was standing with Morya at the riverbank now, watching the mare drink. Now they came closer and manoeuvred in front of her face. Apparently they had a problem hanging still, and through their constantly tangled patterns it was hard to see them clearly.

From one of the orbs of silver light came a giggle, followed by a sudden rush along the riverbank. A few yards away it stopped, and danced around in one spot. When Elessar came closer, she noted that there was a dry spot between the roots of an immense tree. It was covered in long grass and big enough to host both herself and the horses. The fairies giggled once more, and darted back under the surface of the river without a splash.

Later that night Elessar woke up from a dream filled with goblins cutting Sylvari throats while giggling like fairies. It took her a second to realize that the giggling continued. Looking around, she noticed Morya standing nearby with closed eyes. Comrade was missing.

She saw him where they first met the fairies. The young stallion was surrounded by at least five glowing orbs of silver light. He appeared to be dancing at first, jumping back and forth and kicking his legs around. But the moonlight reflected a glare in his eyes that told the bladesinger enough. Now she looked better she noticed how they dove at his skin and clung to it until he knocked them off. Whenever a fairy released her grip, it seemed to be ripping a part of his glowing skin along.

Alloryen Kingdom
Duin Shee Dalnya riverbank
6th day of the 8th month: Temoth Ore
9:06 pm

When Elessar came closer, there was no longer any doubt in her mind. The fairies were indeed after Comrade’s skin, even though the young horse was not ready to part with it yet.

She entered the battle with her sword high, ready to pulverize the little creatures. Her first swing was an immediate hit, and one of the fairies flickered and fell on the river in two parts. But another one of the fairies dove past the bladesinger and aided her sister in tearing Comrade’s skin. They managed to form a tear with their fingers and ripped off a piece of hide the size of Elessar’s thumb. They held on to it together and dove into the water, only to return a moment later, while Comrade was still screaming.
In the meantime, Elessarae Isiliri, tested warrior, attempted another hack at one of the fairies, but missed widely. Then one of the creatures sprayed a silver fountain of lights over her, and for a second she had to avert her eyes. Fortunately, she was not affected by it in any other way.

When she had adjusted to the darkness once more, she changed her tactics. Flinging around her cloak made it hard for the fairies to come close, but was also as tiring as fighting and did not seem to demoralize the fey creatures. More of them showed up now, their numbers slowly growing to what could be called a swarm. Comrade pranced high on his legs and kicked wildly with his hooves, then bit into Elessar’s sleeve and pulled her away from the swarming fairies.
Showers of lights rained over them as the spirits of the river attempted to stop them, but their enchantments were too weak.

(OOC: ok, new choice: run or fight the fairies as a swarm.)

Alloryen Kingdom
Duin Shee Dalnya riverbank
6th day of the 8th month: Temoth Ore
12:43 pm

Midnight was drawing close, and so far Elessar had only gotten three hours of sleep. Now she was sitting on Morya’s back, pursued by silver fairies. She urged the mare to go faster still, but the flying fey came closer every second.
Then, all of a sudden, they stopped, and shrunk into a memory as Elessar heightened the distance between them. Soon, all she could see was a faint glitter, and when the road bent eastwards, she had lost sight of them.

She slowed down, eventually stopped, and beckoned Comrade to let her inspect his wounds. She took out the vial, ready to rub several drops over the ripped skin of her protégé but when she removed her cloak, his skin was whole, as if it had never been ripped. She examined it closely, but could not find any indication that there had ever been a wound at all. Comrade himself peered over his shoulder, at the place where a piece of his skin had been taken by the fairies, and his eyes got big as he too noted that there was nothing wrong.

Since they were up, the journey was continued, and Elessar followed the path north now. Very soon they would get to Hith Elee.

It was deep in the night when she arrived at the town. No lights shone from the windows, and even the moon did not penetrate the high trees that protected the houses and their inhabitants. As she drew closer in slow pace, a male voice called from the darkness in the Sylvari tongue. It could’ve come from any direction, like an echo without the reverberating multiplicity.

“Who goes there at such an hour?”

======================
First question if I meet the fairies a 7:26 pm and the attack happened at 9:06. You posted I slept about 3 hours, but by your post the only amount of sleep I could have gotten was 1 hour, from about 8:00pm to 9:06 PM after taking 34 minutes to get to the site, untack the horses, build a fire, eat, and then go to sleep.

Then after fleeing down the road I get to 12:43 pm (Supposed to be AM as it is Midnight)the fairies have stopped chasing me and that is when I checkout Comrade.

What time is it when I get to the town of Hith Elee?
Because it was to be another days ride. It is hard to go fast at night, though with fairies chasing her, she went faster that was safe in the dark.

ah, yes, the time

This is a very interesting question: I can only answer with this: I messed up the first one.

Londelirinen Kingdom
Sylvari village
6th day of the 8th month: Temoth Ore
7:26 pm

was pasted from a previous post, and should've stated something different entirely. I did change the date, but none of the other facts. I probably intended to alter those later, but forgot to do so.

What was supposed to happen is that you arrive at the river a little after 9 pm. Then about 3 hours later, you wake up fight fairies and take off.

"Then after fleeing down the road I get to 12:43 pm (Supposed to be AM as it is Midnight)the fairies have stopped chasing me and that is when I checkout Comrade.
What time is it when I get to the town of Hith Elee?
"

No, it is 12:43. In the Audalis setting it reads that a day consists of 26 hours, which means 13 in am, and 13 in pm. I thougth this would lead to misunderstandings. so 12:43 means 17 minutes till midnight.

At 12:43 you stop with Comrade, and 'deep in the night' you arrive at the village. Deep in the night could also mean 'close to where you call it morning'.

Sorry if I was vague, and messed up your time-schedule

Elessasrae

If I rode late into the evening, going as far as I could that first day and then rode hard from the time I woke fight the fairies and than hurry to get to the town in the dark of the morning--I would think that it would be close to dawn.

Leave it to a guy to change the hours in a day and days in a week and days in a month- etc.

Now I have go go back to redo hours of sleep to hours to no sleep. In trying to figure out how Elessarae would be physically at this point I have been counting the hours of sleep compared to the hours of being awake.

So far it is staggering, By 5:30 am on the 7th day it has four days of 26 hours. In that 104 hours Elessarae has had 23-24 hours sleep, the rest of the time was hard riding and fighting, nor has she had a good hot meal in that time, she must be near exhausted.

she must be...

pretty dead by now, yes. But this has earned her a lot. Not just XP, but also a lot more, as you will find out eventually.

I can tell you that a tough choice is coming up for her, something that will make all the rest of her adventures turn to mere hindrances.

Anyway, yes, arrival is close to dawn, but the sky is not yet turning brighter.

POST...2nite...

for..now.though and I'll reflect it in my post...
Loda, Thondrek will pay 30gp for the potion, more than what a syl will likely ever give you and he'll spot you some extra should you need it.

After that he's off to look for weapon smith's and enchanters...he needs a better blade.

I posted, an update that will join together the two game lines that have been going since the beginning. I have not had time yet to change character sheets for new or altered equipment, but I WILL do that as soon as I can.

You will all have to forgive me for making a choice for the main group that might go against some character's wishes. I felt that if I didn't do this, the joining of the two lines would have been too drug out. I believe this will work out fine.

Say What


I can tell you that a tough choice is coming up for her, something that will make all the rest of her adventures turn to mere hindrances.

Gee thanks, just when I was hoping for an easier time, now that I have joined up with the group.

two bars

Brianna, my update included two visits to different taverns, and I think you're confusing them. In the first bar you get the first round of drink for free.
In the second tavern, the one in Hith Elee, you have to pay for your drinks. That's where the moonhorse is standing.
