No worries if life keeps you guys from posting very much here and there. I'm currently running a table for the Solstice Scar special and that has to take highest priority as far as my GMing attention goes since it's being done on a timer. That and my work schedule yanking me around from day shifts to night shifts like a yo-yo means I sometimes lose posting time because I basically just crash for hours at a time to try and catch up on my sleep.
The above isn't meant to be an excuse for my sometimes-erratic posting, more of a statement of why it happens.

What do you guys think about our current predicament? I don't think we have the means to reliably bluff him, but perhaps we can tell him our plan in private? We could offer to bring him and his crew along when we do our counter-raid to incentivize him to keep quiet about the plan, even from his own men.
I see that everyone that's posted here or in Gameplay in the last little bit is good with Bart's plan. Go ahead and make your pitch in Gameplay (Tupp or someone else) and I'll post accordingly :)
Working ye olde graveyard shift tonight guys so I'll try to move you all along as soon as I get a chance!
Whoops, yes, the Xs are some random piles of equipment and the scepter is indeed in the southern X as Tupp said. Hopefully that'll work out okay?
Hey, happy to help! I actually found/borrowed them off of another GM after doing some searching but I figured they'd come in handy so I decided to throw up links for each of my games :)
Apologies for the silly horn/alarm noises...sometimes my mind is weird and I couldn't resist :)
Hey guys, I worked last night and can't really focus to do another proper update right now so I'm going to get some sleep and do some other RL stuff for a bit (like visit my parents) and then come back to it later tonight.
Bluh...meant to update last night and crashed after getting home from work. But! I have the next three days off work (including today) and will hopefully be able to make up for lost time :D
Going to go tidy up a bit and then I'll be working on moving us along - stay tuned!

It would be prudent to wield a weapon cast in silver on the occasion that they share a weakness similar to their lupine bretheren. Or perhaps... The boy! He may be more crucial to this expedition than we all thought...
After preparing his spells, he approaches Sori. "Madam, a moment of your time, if it please you."
I'm afraid ol' Bart will be disappointed in that conversation since Tupp doesn't get smite evil until level 2. I was going to post something in the gameplay, but thought it might be a bit jarring. ;)

*Facepalm* totally forgot about even making the roll, sorry GM!
How do we want to do this? We don't seem to have any strong ranged options, so approaching from stealth to get as close as possible before storming the gates seems to be our best bet.
Alternatively, my magic missile wand has a range of 110ft and can be used prone. I could try to goad some of their melee forces to me by harassing the archers and lying prone (making my AC 21 vs the archers). You all could then ambush the response force and we'd theoretically fight two smaller forces instead of one big one. This obviously loses any semblance of surprise, but puts us in a little more control over the pacing.
EDIT: Just a heads up, I will be out of the country from this Saturday to next Saturday. I should have internet access, but there is always the chance that I won't, so bot me as needed!

My opinion is that the Stealth option is better than getting into a ranged back and forth with them. They have cover from the crenellations (I think I didn't mention that from my Perception check before), which will not affect Magic Missile but it will be an issue for Koani (and some of us - like Bon Jon - are not ranged at all). But my main concern is that once they raise the alarm every member of their gang will pour out and we'll be fighting them all at once, while we are in the open and they are in their fortress. I like Styrian's suggestion: Stealth combined with a distraction from ghost sound or something like it. But of course I'll go along with whatever the group decides.
Seems you're all decided on making a stealth approach so that's what we'll run with!
Hey hey folks, I'm working tonight and tomorrow night so updates may be a bit slow until Sunday but I'll try and get a post up next good chance I get!

Will do, Koani!
Also, my current waking state can be best summed up as 'buhhhhhhh' so I'm going to get some sleep and catch up on Gameplay a bit later :)
Had a bunch of work nonsense crop up that's kept me busy through the night; I'll try and get caught up sometime this morning after work if I can.
Will do, Bon Jon!
Hey folks, I'll be at work today but will try and sneak in updates if I get the chance! Otherwise I'll look to move us forward tonight when I get home :)
Hey folks, just a heads up that I'll be heading out to New York State Sunday the 15th through Friday the 20th for work training stuff. I'll have my laptop with me but will likely only be available to make posts during the evenings, if that. I'll do my best to keep us moving along and even though it may not seem like it, you guys can potentially breeze through the rest of this scenario fairly quickly depending on how you approach things - it's actually rather short, when you get down to it :)
Hey guys, was too busy/tired last night to post but I should get something up later this evening after my class :)

Apologies for the silence; Friday was spent in class and traveling back home (got home safe but super late due to flight delays) and then yesterday I took time off to hang out with my husband who missed me while I was gone (the weirdo). But! We are almost done and I think we'll even be able to wrap up by the official end of OutPost which is the 30th.
Since we're near the end we'll go ahead and do some BOON ROLLS! Each of you please roll a d20 - a '1' or a '20' wins a prize! If you win something, please roll a d4 as well to determine which boon you get :)
Nothing for me, hehe. I hope you guys have better luck!
(I know some GMs prefer to roll for the entire table at once and sometimes I will do that if time is short but otherwise I like to let everyone roll their own - seems more fun that way.)

The cute little dinosaur looks sad that he doesn't get to play too. He likes rolling dice... or at least running after them and chewing them up after they are rolled.
Maybe marbles would be more to Blarg's liking? :)
*sigh* Apologies again for the delay; I've not felt like myself for the past couple of days. But I've got the post up I wanted to write on Wednesday and either way, we're almost to the finish line :)
