Taking a look at the adjacent buildings, your group has noticed that the one to the left (as you face the front) of your target building is being used, but the one to the right is not.
"While we wait for Chak-Chak to finish, could one of us, with some arcane power maybe walk in there, in front of the building and try to detect any signs of magic traps or somethin'? Not sure how's that stuff work, but if I remember correctly you warlocks and shamans can detect presence, and sometimes even type of magic by simply concentrating on it. Is this doable in here in such a way not to blow our cover? Just to check if there's some trace of magic at the door, or the windows or guards?"
"Well I could try going invisible and see if they have any magic stuff, but I'm not sure if these people would have any magic. Do psiionics use magic?"
they can. therefore i would rather not take any risk. the cost of giving them something to worry about is too high
As you slip quietly into the water, you observe the continual loading of the ship by the goliaths that are manning the interior dock. They are speaking in a language other than common, and easily lifting boxes that would strain quite a few minotaurs.
Watching their body language, you can tell that they are in general good spirits, with lots of smiling and joking around (mocking laughter being universal), but everyone seems to be in on it.
Shortly after your invisibility runs out, you see three people come down the far stairs: the first is a powerfully built human male "garbed" in somewhat opaque glowing armor (that resembles a breastplate) with a light shield on the arm that is holding the lead rope for the second person.
The second person appears to be male, but it's hard to say because s/he is wearing a full-length robe and has a sack (that appears to be especially made for the purpose) fastened over his/her head. a set of canvas gloves cover the hands, and the are manacled at the wrist and ankles, which appear to be connected with chains of (unless you miss your mark) dwarfsteel.
The last person to come out is short and superficiously resembles a human, but devoid of body hair and his eyes are solid blue orbs that radiate light. He is also wearing a robe, but this one appears to be pure silk and a black so deep that it is almost blue.
The goliaths cease talking and refocus on loading the ship as they 3 person party appears. Walking slowly to accommodate the shuffling half-steps of the obvious prisoner, the three people board the ship and immediately go below decks.
Will take a quick head count of armed folks (are the goliath dock workers armed/armored?) and he'll swim back out and head back to the group.
Meeting back with the others...
"OK. This is what I found..." he sketches a quick layout of the inside of the warehouse.
"It's really more of a shed to house a boat in. There were several Goliath dockworkers, around six, but more importantly, theres a ship in there. I saw a guy wearing glowing armor, leading a person by rope. That person was robed, had a sack over their head and hands, and was manacled at the wirsts and ankles. There was another short bald guy that was wearing a black robe and had glowing blue eyes...
They led him on board. I did not see anyone armed except for the one in armor."
If they have loaded a prisoner onto the boat they must be planning to depart soon. We should move right away. We may need to go for a less subtle approach and play to our strengths with a direct assault.
"I could possibly try luring some of them out with illusions or fireworks, but don't you think we should meet up with the captain at the rally point first?"
You all have 6 seconds to buff up ! We attack the boat secure the prisoner. if this is the person we are looking for perfect if it is not we raid the inside of the structure. Once we have the prisoner secure we split up. Gadget will go with the prisoner to the rally point. Also i want all those of casting detection spell to verify the prisoner is free of any compulsion/enchantment / illusion effect.
Casting a Shield of Faith
Ready ? concentrate all Ranged attack on the bald guy wearing no armor .
"If anyone wants to be made bigger say something now." Gidgey states as he starts following after Urgosh.
Drax will cast bless while we are all clustered together.
I would love to get bigger. I will hold the alley way entrance from the guards in front the extra size will help!
Drax will also cast shield if faith before taking a rear guard position stoping at the alley way mouth expecting the under cover guards to react promptly to a crowd of people charging down the side of the building.
As your group begins moving towards the front of the building, the sentries take notice and move to intercept. go ahead and roll initiative.
Drax will use Seize the Initiative on whoever rolls next.
Urgosh will his Seize the Initiative domain power on Kurat.
Round 1
Urgosh will move up and attack on of the Armored guard
Current AC 27
Gidgey quickly casts a spell then starts to sneak around the warehouse to get to the boat.
Both of the guards reel from the almost simultaneous blows by their attackers, neither, however, has the good sense to run away or die. Each focuses for a moment, then summons a blade made of pure psionic power, which they use to attack their attackers. Each will use their psychic strike til it hits.
the one that swings on Urgosh has his blade clank against Urgosh's Stone plate armor, but the one that attacks Kurat appeared almost expectant of his charge, and reacted accordingly.
Drax will cast shield of faith then move 30 feet diagonally towards sentry 3.
