Ohh, attack of the post monster, that hasn't happened in a while

Despite Grea's best intentions, Jareen is staying where he is for about 10 minutes. Either she'll get out fine in that time and come back this way, or she'll be in trouble and he can raise the alarm.

Jareen nods understanding and casts his spell ( bluff roll earlier in case anyone has seen them coming to not appear to be using magic). "You have 4 minutes, go." he whispers.

Then waits, hunkered down for her return.

Ok, let's get on with it then.

"Let's get moving then Grea, we will use stealth to get close, I will make you invisible for 4 minutes, so you can do a quick scout. You must not attack anyone, even to defend yourself, or you will become visible again."

Stealth: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10
Bluff to hide spellcasting as something else: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (2) + 10 = 12

Yuk.. this may not go well....

All of my spells are 1 min/level it would seem, so we need to get in quite close. Then I can either invisible a scout and let them run for 4 mins, or I can do that, *and* alter self and join them. Anything else I need a full rest for to swap spells about.

I say we go for the second option.

Gah for crazy short casting times.

Could do that while Jareen sleeps....Sorry, Ponders his Mastery

Ohh yes, I forget about that one! Only last 4 minutes, and any interaction gives them a will save at DC 16

No, but it *is* good fun!

Jareen just smiles. "But that does require a good 8 hours sleep and prep."

"Oh, I can do small things. Nothing that would stand up to a close inspection, but I can make strange noises a little way away, or lights dance and such like. I could also conjur a mist..... with lights and noises coming from it"

Basically if I go all out, I can have Dancing Lights, Ghost sound, haunted fey aspect and mage had at will, disguse self, a couple of obscuring mist and a couple of silent image, and 4 invisibilities. But that would be all of my spell slots and leave nothing for enlarge person ;)

"With a full night's worth of rest I could make 4 people invisible. I still can't do much about their sound, but we could cause distractions elsewhere to mask that. I would leave myself vulnerable though using almost all of my power in that way."

No, that seems to be about right. We a foundering in a sea of too many options and a worry that this fight is a touch too large. We need to bite the bullet and get to it.

Jarred looks at the wall, then thinks better of it and sticks by Jaryx

Jareen will stay at the base keeping an eye out.

Perception: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (14) + 3 = 17

"yes, that's a good plan. "

"One of us, and there are limitations, but indeed I should be able to perform that feat."

"It looks like we'd have to dig to get into them, Unless they are entered via some of the other nearby buildings. I have read of such. Should we fan out and check the other buildings?"

Okay, just to be clear, the village was north right? So what we're seeing goes against the idea that this is where the bandit camp is supposed to be? Like another vision or trick of the mind?

That's my impression... Or something's turned us around and punted us out the south gate, or onto another world or something. Perhaps we just discovered why no one ever comes back out.... They do, but not where they expect.

Perception: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6 Have we gotten punted out of a different gate, are their any landmarks we would recognise?

Hmm, that was supposed to be OOC, not B... doh

"Oh, yeah sorry, thought we were sorted. north, out of sight as much as possible."

"What else would you call what happened to us in there? Can you imagine if one of those visions didn't kill us right away? But instead kept you, living someone else's life for days, or weeks, while your body slowly died? I'm in no way saying that is what has happened to others in here, but it could be."

"I think he takes pleasure in his ignorance Arakan. Such a small world he inhabits, so limited. Come, let's keep moving."

I never knew harassing NPCs could be this much fun ;)

"After dark, I said," snaps Danet. "What, you think what we just went through in there is normal? And that was in daylight. What do you think it will get like when the sun goes down?"

"No, what we went through in there is not normal, it's extraordinary. Welcome to our lives. You have consistently failed to see that issues you fear, we deal with frequently. We have handled what would kill most, either directly, or by keeping them entranced until they starved. We will deal with whatever comes at night. The alternative is giving ourselves away to those who will surely kill us, which would be stupid."

Jareen is getting quite annoyed with Danet's underestimations and pessimism. That's supposed to be Jareen and Arakan's job.

"You said no one who comes in here ever is ever seen again. We are doing ok. Make up your mind. I agree with Morthak."

"Agreed. Let's move."

"Is there anything more we can get from here or should we think about attacking that camp."

Can anyone levetate?

Jareen looks around the room for something one of the younger ones can climb up to get a view. Any furniture or anything we can shift about?

1d20 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11

"Agreed."

Any obvoous ways to a view North? Jareen is starting to agree with Grea.

Atk: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (18) + 3 = 21 dmg: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4 will: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9
Atk: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (9) + 3 = 12 dmg: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9 will: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (18) + 6 = 24

Woah, I wish those rolls were the other way around! Jareen takes 13HP of damage

Perception: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (13) + 3 = 16

Good with Jareen.

Do any of the exits go outside?

Up!

Go on arakan, up you go, the rest of us will follow ;)

"I don't think we have time to search too deeply Arakan, we wanted to be as quick as possible to get the element of surprise, we wasted a night thanks to our friend here in the desert, we could easily waste another day searching."

"That is the idea. But I leave it to Arakan to decide if we have ascended far enough. The dangers do seem to increase as we move up."

"Continue up? It will get us the best view."

"I worry Arakan, that although we may get out alive without that knowledge, we may survive a lot longer with it. But I will acquiesce to your desire. Let's move.

"He was a sorcerer-king. A long dead one. We could have learnt much."

Jareen takes a moment to realize he's back in reality. Then he erupts, "Arakan?!! What have you done? The information in that vision could be impossible to reveal any other way. apart from the fact that it could help us in our more long term plans, it could be of vital importance to the Vailled Alliance. We must see these vision through to the end."

You can take the dusty old scholar out of the library, but you can't take the thrist for fobidden knowledge from his heart.....

"Or just more remnants of important events. Be careful we don't end up fighting each other."

Init: 1d20 ⇒ 16

Jareen considers the possibility of another vision, and decides that it's worth the risk.

He moves over to the table to have a look. Perception: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (12) + 3 = 15

"I think when he was alive, maybe there were no wastes." Jareen whispers softly.

"The past, my mad friend, the past. Nothing to worry your deranged little mind. We should continue on."
