Can we get a silent image spell on top of the wall? Since we're not making headway on a plan, let's wait until dark, cast a silent image of a guard on one of the back corners coincided with an attack of the actual guard on the same corner. Ty can run up the wall at full speed, and maybe that combined with some range attacks can take down the guard before anyone notices. The illusory guard will stick around for a bit, long enough for Ty to drop down a rope and for us to make our way inside.
If you’re asking me if that’s a possible action, absolutely.
I do have ways of promoting you along, but I didn’t want to keep railroading you forwards. If folks are in agreement with Ty’s idea, you can certainly try it. Which guard would you like to try? Not wanting to influence you at all, but Traeve would point out that the guard in the northwest corner is only visible to the guards on the north wall: the house itself blocks sight from the south side guards.
We were mapping out the sightlines, and that was basically Morgana's suggestion. The biggest trick is making him go away before he can raise an alarm -- but having Ty sneak up to the wall and ready to shred him as the first part of the attack works well.

Sorry, I was asking the party if we could cast that spell.

Apologies here, also. Work has been kicking my ass this week, and it's hard to devote the brain power needed to be slightly irreverential yet also still useful.
PLAN:
1. Wait for dark.
2. illusion!
3. Ty uses his Wall Run ability to get up the wall.
4. Stab or topple guard.
5. Drop down rope for others to climb up.
That plan works for me.
Ty slips up the wall like a wall-climbing ghost (the most dangerous kind)
As he climbs the wall, Ty's head turns around 180 degrees so that he can smile at his companions.
Hey gang. We've lost momentum. Is everyone still on board?
Our goal right now is to get over the wall, get inside, and kill some racist missionaries!
Yep. Still here.
So... have we made it over the wall undetected? That's kind of what I'm curious about.
Still aboard, absolutely.
Sorry I keep getting slammed, crawl out underneath, and slammed again. I definitely want to get momentum going again.
You have made it over the wall undetected.
Dang. That stinks. Sorry to see you go, Corwyn. Take care of yourself, bud.
Sorry to hear that.
Bummer, but I understand how it goes. Good luck, Richard.
Oh no. Life hasn’t been conducive for me either lately, though I’m trying to get back in. I do thank folks for their patience.
Understandable. No hard feelings from me about real life intruding.
Any thoughts about how to go forward? Should we bring someone in to replace Richard in a "I've been here all along" fashion like how Morgana came in? I don't think this would be as seamless because Richard's family added to the story.
Or we could find someone new and pair their backstory up with our objectives. Maybe we could have someone come in and take over Traeve as a PC, since he's apparently mythic.

Either one of those ideas seems solid.
Yeah the biggest hurdle would be the fact of Richard's family being involved. That would definitely be tricky.
But it's hard to not like the whole "Been here all along" idea though. I do like that better than going through the whole rigamarole of introductions.
But if we have to we have to. It's all good either way.
There is a very opportune moment coming up to replace Richard, however, if you’d like to go that route.
Fine with me.
Hi folks. I’m sorry to do this, but I’m going to need to bow out. I used to be a person who checked the boards every few minutes for new game posts, and now I find an entire week can go by before I even remember to check. I’m keeping a few games going and if I do find myself with a renewed interest in the hobby, I would very much like to pick up this story again: it’s been a blast, and working with you fine folks has definitely made me a better story-teller. I wish you all the best in your own gaming adventures.
Sorry to hear that, Nazard.
Sorry to hear, but understandable. Good luck, all.
No worries at all, bud. As Ty said, totally understandable.
Be good!
