I'm back for good now.
So what was our plan again? Cause a distraction at one side while the guy we're going to get sneaks out the other? Then we get him to the captain we're working for?
Oh yeah...Hm. Pickle. And we killed that torturer so they on the lookout for us.
We're not doing anything that requires showing our faces right? We just need to get one dude out of the complex, and I think we can communicate with him pretty easily like we did last time.
We know the layout of the place I think and we know there's dog guards. Maybe on one side we stage a very bad breakin attempt. On the other side we help the guy climb out of his window and escape over the wall and then on some signal the distraction people escape and we all meet back up in the sewers and get the dude to the captain?
OK. Communicate with the target to let him know what to expect, then a small sneaky team goes to help the guy and larger less sneaky team makes a distraction?
Nio will definitely be on team distraction. They're probably going to have to fight. Who else is on which teams?
I'd prefer making no noise at all, as I'm worried this might draw too much attention too fast.
We're in the more affluent parts of town now, no? Might go south fast if we make too much noise.
That said, I might be overthinking things, and am more than willing to go with this plan if we can't think of a better one.
Nio is good either way, too. He's got Stealth but he's not great at it. His pet lizard has a +11, though. They could sneak if we all want to be on Team Sneaky. If there is a Team Distraction, though, it makes more sense for him to be making noise.
I can be on team sneaky as well.
Stricia is one with the shadows. +5
BUT how about this. We try to go full stealth with the actually sneaky people. If they start to draw attention then Team distraction will start to cause trouble on another side to give team sneaky time to get out.
Stricia will be willing to go with the more dangerous backup distraction team.
Bastargrae is sneaky. And I think I can make an alter appearance extract as well if need be.
Who is intending to sneak in, and are we ready to go?
Not team sneaky even though she is obviously incredibly qualified.
Bastargrae will join team Stealth
I think Team Distraction will be near the front gate? Does the wall and/or gate look like it's easy to climb? I'm thinking if needed Stricia will climb onto the wall and maybe throw stones at the windows.
That makes sense. I think Nio has a thunderstone, which should be a good attention-getter. He's also got Sleeves of Many Garments and scrolls of Disguise Self and Expeditious Retreat for when they need to run away. :)
How will Team Distraction (which might just be Stricia and Nio?) know if Team Stealth gets in trouble?
Team sneaky. Ready.
Some sort of weird bird call? Some sort of spell for coordination?
Message could work if someone has it and we don't get more than 150' away from each other.
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
And Message spell I have!
Stick Message on one of us and let's get going! Hopefully Nio and Stricia will have a boring time of it!
Nio can have Hasta do tricks if Stricia starts to nod off. :)
Ay we gotta plan
OK...sounds good. I'll get us started after work.
Hrm, should Team Distraction do something to draw the dog to the front? I can't think of anything we could do that would be quiet.
Hellhound? Its Cheliax
Yeah, it's definitely a hellhound. I can't think of anything that would draw a hellhound but not guards. Could we roll for an idea, DM? Like certain incense or meat a hellhound would like?
Some sort of recall knowledge? Maybe Team Distraction can instead fight the hellhound under some sort of silence spell while the rest just get the prisoner out?
I'd say either a high knowledge planes roll (to have an idea of particular diet) or maybe survival (for a lure)
Hm. I think I can be bait...I can use jump,expeditious retreat,adhesive spittle, and something that can make me invisible. Give the dog the run around to keep it off you guys and hopefully distracted enough it won't attract guards. While you guys deliver the letter.
Sorry all... I've had a challenging few weeks.
Should be all good now.
Eeew...we fighting a Cerebus from Rez E with three heads?
Hope you having a better time of it now,Bloodgarler.
Anyways, I'm thinking I can hit it with an adhesive spittle to stick it in place, use expeditious retreat and take the letter and leg it to the window, and use jump to Mario my way up there.
Any objections or suggestions?
Stricia is really good at tanking so if she gets the word from Idril she'll come back to crane style the dog.
Stricia and Nio could run around back and try to draw the doggy away from the rest of the party. If we can pull it to the front that would be a nice big distraction.
Stricia has started to put that plan into motion. Martials might end up just beating on it while the rest get the prisoner out.
Unless you can climb the fence elsewhere or pick the front gate, you will be coming in the west gate.. I'll say it's about 180' to go around and get to the west gate.
How difficult does it look to climb the gate or wall? Can Stricia tell how easy it would be for her to do (she has +9 climb).
She's still running this round (160' run speed per round), this is for future reference.
Hm. Bastargrae has Jump to reach the window but he's hella weak so I doubt he can have the person ride down on his back safely.
Hi, all! DM Bloodgargler has given me permission to ask if anyone is interested in a new campaign I'm going to be running. I like to reach out to players I already know before I open up to general recruitment.
The campaign will be set in an existing Kingmaker kingdom but the PC party won't be the rulers of the land. Instead, the PCs will be adventurers and problem solvers hired by the NPC rulers to do missions as they come up. The game will deal with content from outside the Kingmaker AP but the setting will be based on a Kingmaker kingdom and near the land of Brevoy.
If you're interested in a new game, the Discussion thread is open to talk about concepts. There's a ton of lore and background on the Obsidian Portal page, too, if you want to take a look at that.
The game is Level 6, 25 point buy.
Correct me if I'm wrong but we're supposed to be getting this guy out right?
That's my understanding. We were told he was under house arrest or something like that and to get him out.
I dunno. Can he jump on my back or should I use any haul to carry him down?
Ant haul plus Jump down with the noble boy sounds hillarious. Just... hold him over your head or something.
Okay dokey then
Am I the only one packing any healing spells? If so, we may be functionally doomed...
