Not sure I can Take20 on this? Spellcraft would be 20+8+1d6.

You can take 20.

He does so ;)

[dice=Inspiration]1d6

Total Spellcraft result is 33. Does he find anything fishy? :)

** spoiler omitted **

Once they exit House Baenre, Tael would activate the ring. Once they get close to the target House, she would stealth [take 10 which would give her a 40 or 42 if in "dim light" (10+20+10+2). Looking for ways in, whether over a wall, levitating down INTO the House, an underground tunnel entrance, perhaps an entrance for lesser races. She would also be looking to see whether this would be a viable exit or if a secondary exit would be better. Also looking at guard strength - numbers, types (drow vs lesser races), other types of defenses, if applicable.

Bumping this from the last page. Tael has placed the Invisibility Ring on her finger once she grabs it from the chest.

Nathrae purses her lips before slipping the ring into her pocket.

"I'll see if my own skills are up to it, thanks."

There are some swerfneblin that are guards, they look more like slaves. There are also two drow warriors guarding the gate, one on each opposite side. They have longswords at their right, and they are holding long spears of drow make in their right hands. They are also equipped with drow maille shirts (like elven maille).

Any easy way to levitate in from above or would that require the ability to fly? I.E. any caves that look like they might let out overhead? Any water running underneath into the compound?

You hear water running underneath into the compound. I think what you're asking requires the spell levitate at least. The spell fly can also come in handy here.

As we're all Drow Nobles we should all have Levitate at will. Just considering different ways to come at this place undetected...

As Tael passes by she asks Nathrae, "Any thoughts other than what I've observed thus far? Four eyes are better than two on such matters".

Vierka excuses herself too as she heads to her place of work. It shouldn't be too hard to pocket a few pieces of clothing that's marked for destruction

"Four hours it is." this is turning into quite the scheme. But when aren't things a scheme in one way or the other

Pocketing the ring for now, Zak returned to his abode - he wanted to check his own notes on House Shaka, if he had any. He liked to collect bits and pieces of information, so maybe he had some floor plans, or anything in his own notebooks which might assist them in infiltrating - was the House built close to a chasm they could climb, did it have underground tunnels, did they receive frequent guests? From where and why?
