Male Mindflayer Psychic Warrior 3/Phrenic Slayer 3

Roughly how far away is all of this?

Dark Archive

male wraith biomedical scientist lv5/ film director lv3

the skeleton line is about 200ft away, the skum line is 400ft away. Mindflayers don't dislike non-mindflayer undead, since they are useful tools that can be influenced with magic (command undead, turn undead, ect) but have immunites, no needs or inhibitions, all useful to any mindflayer

Myron, Xallihion and Vec

Spoiler:
you manage to sneak to the front line undetected, while you reach the front lines you can tell that the skeletons aren't mindless, they are carring weapons, holding strategic possitions and are giving each other visual signals.

Kurosawa and Blep

Spoiler:
you hear a telepathic message "What are you doing here? City-folk shouldn't involve themselves with these battles, I don't want you messing with my tactical plans"


Backwards from the conductor:
::Well, what should we do? Wait here and see how things turn out, or interfere? He seems to have things well in hand here. At least, they aren't completely stupid.::


M Mind Flayer 6 Inquisitor of Vecna

Vecthan awaits to see how the battle unfolds

Haruhito mentally shrugs.

We are just passing through. If you would like some assistance, I would be happy to provide it, but otherwise, I will happily leave you to it.

The forces of the Aboleths finally crash into the skeletal line, what should be a massacre of the undead though turns out to be quite the opposite, the Skum and Shaguaren keep getting slaughtered, some of those that die rise up as zombies and start fighting off their old comrades.
Those in the front lines must roll another stealth check to avoid getting spotted by the aboleth troops.
Those staying back what do you want to do?

Stealth 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (16) + 20 = 36


Male Mindflayer Psychic Warrior 3/Phrenic Slayer 3

Are any Aboleth's visible? Or are they all submerged in the water

Yzx moves forward some, attempting to spot any of his sworn enemies 1d20 + 24 ⇒ (8) + 24 = 32 Perception


Stealth1d20 + 20 ⇒ (8) + 20 = 28

not on foot, they are obsucred by all their troops

Spoiler:
You manage to spot 2 aboleths at the back of the enemy lines, they are on either side of a kracken, within the land troop lines you also spot a bunch of skum shamans who are being the biggest problem for the undead lines


? Aberration Illithid 8 / Oracle (Lore) 6

Ulgulanoth:
Since the Mindflayer did not reply, and I am rubbish at stealth anyway, I am happy to hang back.

Myron and Xallihion are fine
Kurosawa is waiting to see the result of the battle


Magical Flying Illithid Train:
::Well, do you want to wait for an opening and drop in to say hello to these aboleth scum? Seems fun to me, wouldn't you say?::


M Mind Flayer 6 Inquisitor of Vecna

stealth1d20 + 19 ⇒ (13) + 19 = 32

Dark Archive

Vec is also fine

Xallihion and Kurosawa

Spoiler:
the flying Illithid responds to both of you at the same time "I'd get your friends out of there, the aboleths are going to flood this cavern in a few minutes time, though you are welcomed to try to stop them"


Hemaphrodite? Illithid Wiz5\Bloat mage 1

Myron is going to try to stealth around the battle and so we can continue on our way. This battle is not his.


Male Mindflayer Psychic Warrior 3/Phrenic Slayer 3

Does either of you whose getting the telepathic messages pass them on?


Sorry, I've been in and out. I'll pass the messages on. I'm over at a friend's house, have been for several days, so I don't have constant access. In any case, go ahead and read the spoiler.


Hemaphrodite? Illithid Wiz5\Bloat mage 1

Unless otherwise stated Myron will always act as a telepathic relay as needed.


M Mind Flayer 6 Inquisitor of Vecna

Saddened he doesn't get the chance to kill some aboleths, once receiving the message of cave being flooded, Vecthan will also try and stealth his way past the cavern
Stealth out of the cavern:1d20 + 19 ⇒ (13) + 19 = 32

If i need more rolls let me know

Myron Does the same.

Stealth 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (4) + 20 = 24


As will Xallihion

Stealth 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (3) + 20 = 23

Vec, Myron and Xallihion manage to sneak out of the cave without drawing too much attention


? Aberration Illithid 8 / Oracle (Lore) 6

Haruhito follows...


Male Mindflayer Psychic Warrior 3/Phrenic Slayer 3

Since Yzx never got that close, he turns and leaves as well. When they're fully clear of the cave he says "I strongly dislike allowing those foul creatures to live."

Aye it would have been nice to taste some aboleth blood." Pondering how difficult it would be to track the aboleths after they had flooded the caverns (and the waters receded)

Right so where are you guys going to do now that you've left?


Sorry for being away for a while. Bleep simply drools and follows Kurosawa ^^

"Well it was refreshing to see their minions getting annihilated atleast - what do you say that we try to make our way to the surface as quick as possible now?"

"Agreed. We have a mission to complete. "


::Sounds good.::


? Aberration Illithid 8 / Oracle (Lore) 6

Agreed.


M Mind Flayer 6 Inquisitor of Vecna

Agreed..its a shame we lost our guide


Male Mindflayer Psychic Warrior 3/Phrenic Slayer 3

"We don't need a guide, I'll find us a way to the surface" 1d20 + 30 ⇒ (14) + 30 = 44 Survival, how to get to the surface

After tracking for a long time (a few uneventful days) you reach the Crystal Covers, here is where humans and the other humanoids make their dwellings, if something is going down with them its here. The snow covered city is beautiful, for human standards. Built by the longer lived races of dwarves and elves, they took pride in being able to craft things of great beauty even under such conditions, the Illithid found it amuzing more than anything else, their food source had found a way to entretain themselves. Its late morning and most of the humanoid creatures are in the market, the world illuminated by magical tourches and glowing crystals, its bright, annoyingly so.


M Mind Flayer 6 Inquisitor of Vecna

So I guess we begin looking for this one-eyed man. says Vecthan.
How big is this place? area wise, Population wise?

Dark Archive

male wraith biomedical scientist lv5/ film director lv3

its a substancial size town, with a population of at least 5,000


Hemaphrodite? Illithid Wiz5\Bloat mage 1

"Should we use stealth or just start dominating?"

(Are their other illithids here somewhere?)


::Stealth would likely be best, at least for now.::

Dark Archive

male wraith biomedical scientist lv5/ film director lv3

no, Illithids never come up here, they usually use other servants to go and bring the crop down to the inner city, the only time Illithids come here is when something out of the ordinary forces them to


M Mind Flayer 6 Inquisitor of Vecna

I say Dominate...based on the description I bet someone will notice a bunch of a illithids wandering about town. Tho I'm fairly stealth So I'll go with what ever the consensus is.

"Perhaps both. I'll be right back." Myron suggests.

WIth that Myron will slip into the shadows and look for the nearest adult, Dominate them, and have them go to where the others are waiting.

Stealth 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (4) + 20 = 24

Haruhito waits patiently for Myron to return with his latest 'pet'...

Dark Archive

male wraith biomedical scientist lv5/ film director lv3

It doesn't take long for Myron to come back with a dominated Mortal, a strong looking young man


Hemaphrodite? Illithid Wiz5\Bloat mage 1

"ask what you like. " Myron says gesturing to the man


M Mind Flayer 6 Inquisitor of Vecna

We aer looking for a leaderish type person, one who people rally to, and he has only one eye. Tell us where we can find this man. Says Vecthan

"A one eyed man who tells people what to do or helps them, depending on perspective." Myron says as if clarifying to the man.

"You are talking about Kurt Victor, you can find him at the church usually, but today he's gone to see his family, it is on the other side of town, a large building with a gold griffon on the roof top"

To the group

"Will that suffice?"

If so to the man

"Lead us to the church, but take a route where we are not likely to be seen."


That's enough for me. But shouldn't we be going to his house, instead of the church? He isn't there, and we may cause a ruckus if we were to enter with people inside.
