Do ya'll have a plan, I'll be moving this forward soon

Well, unless anyone has a different plan, I believe we are planning to sneak to the first tower (L5), attempt to find an entrance, and deal with the occupants. All agreed?

works for me.

Might a suggest a previously untapped resource? Two changelings.

What were you thinking exactly?

Well they have minor shape change, if we spot any humanoid gaurds, which there might be, we can simple take out two of them as quietly as possible, take their cloths, take their appearance, and simply do some bluffing exc exc to do prisoner transport or something like that.

That's a good idea, but I don't think that needs to change the first part of the plan much. We should still take out the two guard towers, in order to clear out a 'pathway' to and from the camp. Once that's done, we can try to bluff our way in. I have a feeling that no ruse will work for too long, and having a clear path out would be a good thing ...

Assuming we proceed, I'm putting out some rolls for Garroth now, as I don't have access to IC at work

Stealth and Perception rolls for Garroth as we move up on the first tower, staying out of sight and observing for a minute or two (where are the guards, what kind of guards, where are the entrances, etc.; not too long - don't want the weapon enhancement to go to waste...) I'm assuming we stay within the tree cover as much as possible; and sorry for the confusion, but it's night, correct?
Stealth and perception (1d20+12=21, 1d20+9=26)

Garroth

"I see two guards up in the tower. They're pale, but other than that I cannot tell if they are undead or normal soldiers," Garroth whispers to everyone.

Keeper, can we have a description of the tower? I.e. height, width, entrances, windows, etc.

" I'll stand by here and ready the artillery, My stealth isn't as good as the rest of yours. You try to assault the towers and if things get hairy I can lob a fireball or a stinking cloud into the mix as necessary."Nomric will quietly state as if embarressed by being out stealthed by big people " once the way is clear, and the towers empty, I can man one of the towers and play merry hell with the enemy from up there."He finishes with a pat to the castorbow and a grin.

Oh so sorry man. The tower is a wooden structure 18 -20 feet wide at the base 8-10 feet wide in the housing. There is a ladder on the side and it is 15 or so feet tall

Garroth quietly talks to the others, "Any ideas here? I don't like the idea of using the ladder; my thought was a couple of our best climbers could scale the side away from the guards (if there is one), and at a signal, those on the ground could launch ranged attacks first then have the two or three climbers finish them. Another option is to just have all of us use ranged attacks from here; I just worry that if we don't finish them in one wave of attacks, they can raise an alarm ..."

Valyn says i believe we should try to find a sideway and send our best climbers and do just as Garroth says.

Onward then who is climbing the tower? sorry I was gone guys was sick

i guess i will

Garroth also volunteers; he's better at climbing and melee than ranged attacks, anyway

Jax will try to convince to Valyn to let him go in his place, as him and garroth are the best melee combatants.

Valyn lets jax climb because he is a beter mele fighter than him.

Stealth and Climb checks (1d20+12=18, 1d20+8=10)

what absolute crap rolls ...

Jaxon Follows Garroth's lead

Stealth 1d20+14=21

Climb 1d20+8=26

"ready then."Nomric will take aim at the tower that they are climbing, using the MKII.

jax, gorroth make you rolls you in the tower and unseen, Inside are 2 guards they seem not to notice you of yet

Garroth sneaks up behind one guard and unleashes a flurry of blows

flurry of blows (1d20+4=5, 1d6+3=9, 1d20+4=15, 1d6+3=7) Add an action point to the second roll (the first is hopeless ...) action point (1d6=5)

Merry Christmas everyone!

I rolled for jax
Jax and gorrath drop both guards. They seem to be human, dressed in chain shirts and in Karrnith uniforms.

[/ooc] Next move guys...sorry for the dark there[/ooc]

Garroth makes certain both guards are dead, then looks around to ensure there are no more in the area. He will also glance towards what we think is the prisoner camp, to see if we can mgasin any additional info as to the layout, guards, etc. Finally, he will motion to Jax to climb back down and rendezvous with the group.

You can make out a few patrols in the area but you think you can avoid em..are you taking the uniforms?

Yeah; thanks for reminding me.

Next move then?

Once taking the uniforms, Garroth (and Jax, also, I'm assuming) will climb back down to rendezvous with the team. We can see who fits the uniforms best, then move on to the second tower we wanted to hit.

Stealth and Perception rolls (1d20+12=23, 1d20+9=22)

Weaving though the darkness you make it to the second tower with out incident, you easily avoid the one undead patrol you spotted. Low level undead it seems just run of the mill type if you had the guess not like the elites you spotted before hand

Garroth whispers, "Same plan as before. You ready, Jax?"

I'll get stealth and climb rolls tonight after work.

once again Nomric will take up position, aiming at trhe tower prepared to fire if needed.

Climb and Stealth for scaling Tower #2 (1d20+8=11, 1d20+12=20)

While Scaling the towers one on the guards leans over and with a look of surprise gives a shout. He aims his crossbow down and fires off two bolts barely missing the climbers[/i]

"Damn," Garroth thinks to himself. He immediately begins climbing as fast as he can. When he gets close enough to the guard, he will try and swing himself up and try to connect with a kick to the guard's chin. How would that be handled?

accelerated climb (1d20+3=5) things just get better and better

Nomric will fire a crossbow bolt at the other guard.
to hit and dmg (1d20+4=14, 1d6=6)

Jaxon climbs up behind Garroth

Someone care to roll for me?

Retrieving from the land of Archivia as we search for new recruits

The 3rd squad of the 112th Cyran battalion , the so called black caps last mission did not go well. The surviving members of that unit awaited replacements in a field camp out side a newly retaken town of "Leem's end "

Yes sir, Best of the best for you.

The tall, slender blonde half-elf walks into the tent, looks around, shrugs and picks a bunk near a wall. It's not much, but hey, that's life in the army.

The kobold walks in, frowning. She has a distinctly feminine look. A hawk perches on her shoulder. She nods to the half-elf. "Hmph. What's your name, elf?" She picks a bottom bunk and sits down.

Greetings, Kobold, she says with a nod. I am Joyelle Reynardine, infiltration specialist. And you are?

Touchy, touchy. And all I did was ask for your name. How was I supposed to know that you were so sensitive about your age? Most females are happy to be mistaken for younger than they are. A smile plays across her lips as she says this, with a mischievious twinkle in her eye. I will be more careful in the future, Old One.

Failure. Not something Garroth took lightly. It all started when the guard in the tower noticed him. Then, in an attempt to silence the guard before he could call out, he lost his grip and crashed to the ground. True, a few prisoners were able to escape in the carnage, but their primary target was not recovered. And even worse, four of the team didn't make it back at all.

Since making it back, Garroth hadn't talked with anyone except his immediate superiors. He had even fully expected to be imprisoned and punished for his failure, but to his surprise (and dismay), they simply told him that there were other plans for him.

Garroth trudged through the camp to the tent he was designated for, carrying his gear. He entered the tent and quickly noticed the half-elf and kobold already in the tent. Seemingly ignoring them, he stashed his gear next to one of the unoccupied bunks, climbed in, and began to meditate quietly to himself.

"Hello," the half-elf said with false cheerfulness. She could tell that this one was suffering over something. But then again, wasn't everyone? "I'm Joyelle, and the old lady here is Synatria. Looks like we're going to be working together."
