What can we make most use of? Do we need munitions, wyverns, or warbeasts? On the other hand, what is most likely to hurt us? Munitions, wyverns, or warbeasts?
Based on that, I'd say hit all three :)
But if we need to prioritize, then I'd suggest wyverns. Air supremacy!

I would agree that we should likely hit the wyverns first- all the walls in the world don’t matter if we’re facing dragons or any other aerial threat.
But most definitely hit all three. In an ideal world, we could hit multiple in the same day, but I doubt that’ll happen now.

I think we’ll have difficulty teleporting the freed prisoners back; we’ll likely be stuck walking back.
Edit: DM Brainiac: Do we know where the wyvern aerie is? I don’t see it marked on the map.

I vote wyrven.
Reminder: I'm away until June 6th. Feel free to bot me. If I get a chance I'll check in.
Yes, you know the location of the wyvern aerie. I forgot to mark it on the map--I will rectify that shortly.
Sounds like that's the vote, so I will post accordingly.

Note that Wulfram's Barkskin spells now give a +4 enhancement bonus to natural armor.

As mentioned in the gameplay thread, Wulfram can cast Blessing of Fervor (9 round duration) on everyone he can see (maximum 30 ft apart). We might want to do that just before we go over the walls. After that, he'll probably try to neutralize the archers via Fog Cloud, Stinking Cloud or Wall of Fire, as appropriate.
Well, Karla would not profit that much from BoF. So she could fly invisible and try wreaking havoc with confusion, then other things as you guys attack with BoF.
My hope is that two or three rounds of confusion can really make a difference, but I'm happy to forego that option.

Do we have a way of getting Niko and Sia over the walls as well?

Eustoma isn't flying either. She'll need the gate open. Can Rogar help with that?
Nik'o is quite good at climbing, so I think she'll be ok. An open gate works too :)
Troop subtype rules, for those who are curious. :)

Don't forget that one of the options for Blessing of Fervor is +30 ft speed, so everyone should be able to make it up to the Church by the time Wulfram opens the doors.

Please note I'll have very few opportunities to connect in the coming days. Please bot me as needed.

Wulfram couldn't really afford to attack this round, given how hard the enemies hit. Even with the extra HP from Righteous Might, without healing he'd go down if he took another 44 Damage, followed by death when the spell runs out!
My wife and I are expecting the birth of our second daughter any time between now and her due date of July 13th. When that occurs, I will likely be incommunicado for a few days. I will also be taking a month off from work, and since I usually do most of my posting from there, my posts will be sporadic and infrequent during that time. Things should get back to normal when I return to work though.

Wow, congrats! Take all the time you need, some things are more important than games with a bunch of online strangers. Enjoy your time off, we’ll be here whenever you’re ready.

That's awesome. Congratulations.
Wonderful blessing! Congratulations and all my best wishes!

Is anyone aware of a way to protect against a Nightmare spell?
Edit: It looks like a Censer of Dreams (8000 GP) would help.
I just received a message from The Chess, who played Aramant when the campaign started before he had to leave due to personal reasons. He sends his regards and says he misses you guys. He's glad the campaign is still going on. :)

I just discovered the Dream Shield spell from Occult Origins, which Wulfram could potentially cast. It would give the recipient SR 19 against a Nightmare spell.

I hope The Chess is doing well. Pele says hi. :)
At some point, Wulfram is going to cast Focused Scrutiny to try to figure out if Navah is somehow involved with the Nightmare spell.

Maybe the Stinking Cloud wasn't such a good idea, after all. :(

Wulfram will buy 5 silver crossbow bolts.
He would like to buy another Aegis of Recovery, if one is available.
He would also like to buy, or order, a mithril chain shirt (mithril pajamas). :)

Eustoma needs more than 5 arrows. She'd take an entire 50 if they are available.
1d100 ⇒ 60
You can buy as many silver bolts or arrows as you would like. Both the aegis of recovery and the mithral shirt are available for purchase.

Wulfram will buy:
Aegis of Recovery 1500 GP
Mithril Chain Shirt 1100 GP
5 Silver Crossbow bolts 10.5 GP
Total 2610.5 GP
I've lost track of how we're accounting for our money shares. I'll need to subtract the above from Wulfram's share.
I will upload a map in the morning, along with the results of your scouting.
Baby might be coming soon! We are heading to the hospital now. I will check in when I can.

She's here! Natalie Skye, born at 5:46 PM. 7 lb 2 oz, 20 inches long. Both mother and baby are doing well. :D

Congratulations. What a beautiful name, and I'm sure a beautiful little girl.
Map is posted. I haven't added enemy icons yet but at least you have the sense of the camp layout.

Wulfram is probably going to cast Bless, and then Blessing of Fervor. I was thinking of then moving forward to within 190 ft, and casting Stinking Cloud on the top of the watchtower. Is that going to mess up anyone's plans?
Congratulations!!! What a wonderful blessing.
My best wishes of happiness!
Map updated. The icons for the minotaurs and wyverns are placeholders until I have more time.

Just a note- I meant to use Impaling Infusion, which would attack all creatures in a 30-foot line, hopefully including both wolves. Sorry if I didn’t make that clear.
My bad. Both wolves are down, then.

I think Rogar needs add in the Extended Range infusion to attack the wyvern.

The Snaking Infusion has a range of 120 feet on its own. It essentially includes it already, as it costs an extra Burn to use and has Extended Range as a prerequisite to take.
(I’d link it but I’m on my phone)
Potions of cure moderate wounds (7), +1 breastplates (2), +1 composite longbows (+2 Str, 2), mwk scimitars (2), potions of cure serious wounds (3), antitoxin (4), fire ward gel (2), frost ward gel (2), scent cloak (4), +1 hide armor (3), mwk heavy steel shield, +1 warhammer, mwk throwing axes (2), nets (3), veterinarian’s kit, mwk sickles (6), cloaks of resistance +1 (3), mallet of building, 534 gp

Are there any maps of troop deployment or battle strategies in the camp?
No, but there is more to the camp in the cave.
