"If we follow them, probably best to have one of us follow while the others follow our watcher. Or another possibility is to have two watchers, make it seem like each aren't aware of the other, just in case one does get caught."
Daxius can't help but smile with the turn this conversation was going. This sounds promising, and is fitting for my skills. Hyngrot has the right of it; watching and following is best done in pairs. I agree that following the Bastards and observing their criminal behavior would be gratifying and would justify our efforts to take them down. First, we observe their complex and make an accounting of their activities. Agreed?
"Sounds like a good plan - do you wish Hyngrot to accompany you, or someone else." Gesturing toward Hyngrot, "You are well aquainted with slipping through the city, but I can always pertend to be skulking about looking for certain illicit compounds."
The scholar peruses the map. "Janniven, do you know if there are sewers in that area?"
Daxius responds to Nicolai. You and Hyngrot should make up one team. Pontia, Angus and I will comprise the other. Our teams should split and come at the temple from the northeast and northwest, respectively. We make ourselves as inconspicuous as possible, observe, and follow any bastards to catch them in the act. Avoid contact unless you must intervene to save a victim from harm. He looks to Pontia. Do we have any way to communicate magically?
"There's a cantrip I can use, but it will only work while we're within 130 feet of each other."
"A hundred and thirty feet is better than zero feet."
Nicolai looks over to Hyngrot, [b]"You have a better sense of the city than I - I'll follow your lead and I can act the 'illicit apothecary', if things go south."[/]
"Sounds good. Hopefully shouldn't be much reason to question us."
Daxius nods, satisfied. Very Good. Our two groups will stay within range of Pontia's cantrip while we recon. He addresses Hyngrot and Nicholai. We will inform you if we must move away.
