Any preferences on how to proceed. Peregrine of course has his preferences, but that's because he generally thinks he's always right, I as a player am flexible. :)
Choices for far.
1) Sneak up on them.
2) Approach in disguise.
3) Set up an ambush and hope they go looking for their guys.
4) Some ingenious plan we haven't thought of yet.
The 3 of us are ready to follow someone's plan, while Peregrine tries to come up with one. Sounds like a leader to me.
Personally, I would like to don the cloaks, sneak into range of Peregrines magic and my bow to take out the guys on the watch towers. We could even set up a trap just in case they spot us as there guard drops and run to us.
This would incorporate all 3 options. I think that would prove most useful for us, but what do you all think?
As a player I'm pretty flexible, but I think I prefer sneaking (while disguised) to try and get within range and then hitting them quickly. I'm not sure we have enough knowledge of their patterns and the area to be able to set up an effective ambush.
Another option since Vorik is not sneaky at all is that he could offer to clod through the woods making plenty of noise and providing a distraction while the rest of you slip into range. This might even draw one or two out into the open rather than staying holed up in the camp. I could be disguised as one of the bandits, having too much to drink or just an unwitting traveler.
Hmmm ... I think we have all shown in interest in wearing the cloaks for a disguise and sneaking into range where we can start taking some of them down. So we may as well go with that.
Although I understand the idea of you splitting up Vorik, I don't like the idea of you going by yourself, so maybe if Peregrine went with you. Then Vlamimir and myself could shoot from range, while you fight in close quarters, with Peregrine being your back-up?
Sound good?

Works for me. As soon as we are close enough in and Vorik has engaged the enemy, Vladimir will drop the bow and move in with his sword.
Just playing devil's advocate here...
Certainly doubling is cleaner and easier now, but keep in mind energy additions to weapons like frost or flaming do not get double on a crit and neither does precision damage like sneak attack. So once/if those things become a factor, we will need to be careful about separating the two from standard damage.
Here's the math before racial adjustments:
Strength 11 - Cost 1
Dexterity 12 - Cost 2
Constitution 14 - Cost 5
Intelligence 10 - Cost 0
Wisdom 18 - Cost 17
Charisma 8 - Cost -2
1+2+5+17-2=23
By golly, you're right. Thanks for the sharp eye. I'm going to bump my Intelligence to 12.
Edit: Oh right, we have a paladin. Never mind what I said about making poisons. :) I'll just take Spellcraft.
From the d20pfsrd entry for Fly.
"You cannot take this skill without a natural means of flight or gliding." ;)
I take it we will be levelling soon then?
Has anybody been recording the loot we have been finding and / or claiming?
By the way Dieter, your spellcraft skill dice roll in your profile only says 1d2. How do you get it so you can have the formula written out, without it rolling them?
I'm happy to start a Google Doc if that would work for everyone.
Jaestra, right now the list includes everything except the two CLW potions that I know have been used, and the four branded horses which were returned to the farmer.
It should be set so anyone with the link can edit, so if there is something you claimed (or would like to claim), feel free to make a note. Or just let me know here, and I'll mark it off as needed.
Bloodgargler, I'm not sure if I captured the number of horses owned by Kressle's band correctly so if that needs updated or if I missed anything else, just let me know.
