Tirion doesn't see anything except the rangers keeping watch.
Narissa glares down at the man who just shot her twice.
Draingore watches the whole fiasco totally and completely confused. The wrestling, the shooting, He couldn't decide if they were partying or fighting over losing the disappearing witch. So...did we win?
Urga sighs and pins Bandersnatch with one hand. "Snap out of it Bander. We don't have time for this."
He tries to discern if the creature is still in the room.
Ugra cannot really hear anything over the babbling halfling that is pinned before him.
Just to move things along. Bander is pinned and Bo is KOed for the duration of the confusion. What now that it is over?
Bander gathers his gear, and offers up the Infernal Healing to Bo.
If given a choice he would not except that spell.. Considering he's knocked out.. He has a cure light wand in his pocket btw...
Urga picks Bander up and dusts him off, "Let's heal and regroup. I would say the ogres upstairs are higher priority than chasing the witch through the caverns."
Urga searches the room.
There is nothing of consequence in the room (her goodies were all carried).
during the confusion downstairs, Tirion sneaks carefully up to the top of the stairs to the 2nd floor -- keeping an eye out for traps as he goes. If he makes it up there, he'll briefly case the joint, then sneak back down to report what he sees (after the party is done screwing around):
Bander hits bo w infernal healing. He can tell him not to ever do it again but Bander wouldn't have made that connection
Second try gets it
Narissa moves something heavy in front of the door to the caverns, to make it hard for anything to come in that way until they are ready, and then moves up to the 1st floor. She tells the rangers about the woman, asking them if they recognize her (she describes the woman as how she looked before Narissa shot her in the face).
They all deny having any knowledge of her.
One thing I should have mentioned, was that once she was in combat, he legs morphed into the lower body of a snake. Reminds you of the critter you saw at the top of the tower back in Magnimar.
Hey did you notice she had a snake legs too?
Is that a riddle? Snakes don't have legs.
Once up Bo would ask for Bander to not use that spell on him again. He points out his clw wand before using it on himself..
That puts him back to full..
Why? Bander asks, completely oblivious to Bo's religiousness
Tirion reports quietly to the group:
"Quite a number of those big lugs have cleverly gathered in the hallway at the top of the stairs. I think we should play with them! I have a couple doses of alchemical grease that I could pour on the stairs -- then we taunt them into coming down, and see if any of them slip! I do speak their tongue..."
"Or we do the same thing we did to the ones downstairs. We climb up the towers, climb down on the roof, and enter through the back entrance upstairs and take them from behind..."
Well that is no fun at all! Much funnier to watch them fall all over each other, I can hop down the stairs easily! Let me go get their attention! PLEASE PLEASE PLEAAAAAAASSSSSSEEEEE!
"We could, in fact, do both: if you give us 15 minutes or so to go around, 'Snatch, then provoke them and disappear -- this could split them and reduce the numbers the rest of us face as we flank them. Your provocation could serve as our cue to attack."
I gots grease too. I can make the big girl bigger. and smoke sticks, and invis drinks. How 'bouts I make the big girl bigger and invis, You little guys sneaky, sneaky up with her. She fires big ass bullets. and races down the stairs, you little guys grease up the stairs behind her.
Dumb ogres run after big girl, and slippy slidey they come tumblin' down
"The spell is evil Bander. Morality and Religious vows forbid me from using such thing.."
"Im fine with a split attack.. Ill stay with the group here as im not very quite. One questions though. What if the snake chick is up there and she notices you?"
So I am evil now! Cool! Does that mean I can do terrible things? Steal from you all and be all around obnoxious? I guess I would need a new name. Maybe KenDersnatch?
Narissa snorts. "Then I blow her head off again. Nah, no need to make me bigger. Invisible might help if it lasts long enough. I don't think being larger would help, last time someone changed my size with magic, it didn't affect my gun. Granted they made me smaller that time, but still..."
"Ok, I'm fairly quite, for my size. Me Tirion and Urga go up and over?"
Urga shakes his head. "I'm not a climber. I'll stay here and fight. You may want to let Bander go on his own - he'll be more stealthy that way."
Narissa shakes his head. "Then the runt's by himself."
OK, let's get this plan sorted out. Who is doing what?
when everyone agrees with this assessment, we'll need some rolls
yeah, Bander wanted to stay and do the stairs thing -- and that's more likely to wind up in melee, so he's the right hobbit for that; thus Tirion will go with Narissa on the flanking maneuver.
Draingore stays with Bo. He nods at the paladin and says I'll follows yer lead.
Having reloaded all his gear Bander creeps up looking for ogres
He watches to make sure the steps are greased
Take 10 for 30 stealth
Urga waits with his great sword ready at the base of the stairs.
"Bring them to me Bander."
Once the Grease is set Bander creeps up, takes a deep breath
He shoots an ogre
for
Then runs and leaps over the grease back down using a Ki point.
having a ki point lets me take a running jump without running
I don't see any measures by which you are coordinating timing, so since Bander acted, things will start now.
You do not see any visible entrances on the roof leading into the 3rd floor. That is not to say they don't exist.
Bander pops an ogre with a shot, drawing blood. The ogre roars in rage and charges in pursuit down the stairs.
looks to me like he passed, though nobody ever mentioned a DC.
The ogre has to squeeze going down the stairs. He is unable to do more than a double move action and so cannot attack once he gets adjacent to Bander.
You all hear some tumult among the ogres on the 3rd floor. They seem to be a bit riled.
Bo fires at the ogre twice.. Burning a grit.
Using Steel
Draingore tosses a bomb at the squeezing ogre.
Unstable Accelerant
Bo hits him twice, but he takes the hits like a champion.
"See if you can find an entrance..." Narissa tells Tirion,a nd then moves over to where she can hear ogres yelling through the roof.
Then she'll start firing down through the roof to distract.
This is a fortress, not a house. The roof and walls are solid stone. You cannot shoot through. You'd be pretty concerned with ricochet.
