The west entrance looks perfect. Let's do it!
Any other questions for the elves?
Is it true that elf men can't grow beards?
Yes, another question: how'd they get so fancy? Even in ruins, their city is downright purty!
On that same note, are they hairless everywhere else?
My boss always warns me not to ask if anyone has any questions. "Be more specific," he always says...
OK, the map answered some of my questions from the game thread; I didn't look here before posting and don't want to go back to clean it up. I think the thought process is still valid, anyway. Still curious if there are walls - are we forced to go through the gate or is that just the polite way to enter the city? 'Cause I really don't care about being polite right about now.
Can anyone provide some layout for the library itself from their ancient records? Might be good to know where the exterior doors are and the likely chokepoints for their defenses. Or maybe they are confident that no one will get inside.
Need we kill them all or is it sufficient to drive them out into the daylight where the surface elves can take them out?
I think we just need to secure the library. It sounds like the good elfs can do the rest.
They're not sure about the interior... they've been completely unable to retake the library since the battle began so many years ago. There's a wall, but it's mostly broken down.
Kaerishiel is going to be in one of the groups attacking another strategic point.
Did I miss anything?
Where is the head we're looking for?
Kaerishiel indicated that it's up on the wall a bit north from the library.
I suggest we go north, then, and retrieve the head on our way. If the ghost finds us in the city, we can throw it a bone that way. (Sorry, it just came out that way.)
Relocating, will post in 30-40 minutes.
So is the plan to go in early and pick up the head before "heading" to the library?
Yup.
Agreed. We can buff before we 'cross' the wall. Randall will be in full trap-detection-and-stealth mode, so he will be moving slowly, but I expect he and Firiel to be leading .
I'd point out that the headless drowthing saw me even while I was invisible (and tore me up good), so we should be prepared for similar abilities as we approach. So stealthy, hiding behind stuff, minimizing our exposure, will the the course of action to pursue.
And I'm good to follow the rogues as Randall suggests. If they get spotted, we can back them up.

I hope so, or when I come back, it will be for your head, not mine. ;-) j/k
What, you don't want more free hugs?
Oh, yes, but I am particular about who I get them from. Drow and ghosts are automatically disqualified.
Bar hugs for all!
Oh sure... I suppose you only accept them from (pretty) (female) halflings.
Poor drow get no wuv.

Well, duh!
When you asked for angle of approach I started quoting lines from Top Gun.
We are going ballistic!
My invisibility drops when i cast the spell, or attack or when time runs out, correct?
Correct.
I'm trying Isson. =(
And I appreciate it. But I think Mez's last point kinda sealed the deal.
I assume we are not talking about something on this campaign?
Nope, another game I'm in with Feral. After single-handedly doing massive amounts of damage to a troll, said troll tore my PC in half. The phrase "butterflying his ribs" was used. Very dead now.
Sven will sing his song after this witch is dead. =(
Ouch, sorry to hear, Ash. :(
Thanks, O. We are discussing options for returning him to the game, but it was a bit of a shock. So no killin' any of us, hear? 'Cept maybe Jay-Tor, he wouldn't mind, I'm sure.
That jives with my plans.
Err, I mean...
Second of many Christmas parties, sorry for the radio silence. That's pretty much what I would have done, thanks for the bot. Question: Would Randall's trap spotter have detected the unstable building? And if it fell on the halflings, why did it hit the rest of the party? You guys gots to let us leads if'n you wants us to leads!! ;-)
It wasn't a trap, unfortunately, just a rickety old building.
See how he used his innate ninja-DM skills to dodge your second question entirely, Randall? Mad skillz!
Or was he implying by his silence that it was actually the fault of the rest of the party, because we refused to let the hobbitses take enough of a lead?
Riddles upon riddles!
That's because we're taking the hobbits to Isengarde!
I'm going to be gone just about all day tomorrow, on the road without access to the interwebs.
Sounds like slacking to me.
Apologies guys, going to be gone during the day tomorrow as well.
You're making the bar sad.
Bah. Sad bars are always sad. Can't be helped.
I'm back!
Welcome back!
We have a sad bar, and Skacker DM, halflinks and bad hair dude, plus skacker elf.
skacker is slacker mistype from #hopecrusher
Sorry guys... expected to have internet last night and didn't. Catching up now.
Merry Christmas, all!
Merry merry back at ya!
Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas, indeed.
