"Fascinating...an endless energy source? We may have to steal a bit more while we're here..."
"Let me try Zikamiri." The other fetchling steps forward and tries his hand.
Maldrek draws his weapon and narrows his eyes. "Be ready..." He hisses lowly.
Maldrek nods. "Mhmm." As he studies it.
Maldrek examines the console to try to learn how to work it.
A very short temper for a monk. Maldrek thinks.
I think Zaci is our trapmonkey with his high saves :P
Maldrek explains what the magic going on is.
Maldrek narrows his eyes looking around for any traps.
"Fascinating. A shooting star with a mountain being praises, and noble elves. Fascinating..."
"Agreed. We've spent enough time here."
"Do you think we are a group of senseless killers?" As if on cue, Krayn steps past them. "Point taken. I'll give them a lesson in pragmatism if I must. I agree with your standpoint."
Maldrek gives Zaci a look that says Oh yeah, he's going to be useful. "Deal Mitey. You can consider us allies, let's work together."
Maldrek steps away to quietly speak to Zaci. "At first I was resolved to kill him either way, but it sounds like he has a bone to pick with them. As long as he is stealthy I think we can put him to good use with us. The enemy of my enemy is my friend...for now."
Maldrek gives the subtlest nod. "Yes, that is a good question to answer as well. How were the others stopped? Not only does it help you to inform us so we leave you alone, we may even free you on the way out if we're successful."
"Ah, the machines. That can be of great help. What do you know about them? Any particular weaknesses?"
I just had surgery. Nothing life threatening, but I'm going to be in a lot of pain and on a lot of drugs the next week. Please DMPC as necessary.
Maldrek shoots a positively scathing look at the two behind him bickering, as if to say Not now.
"Well Mitey, you can start with telling us where the nearby guards are and if you know any way to pass them without being noticed. I would also suggest being creative in what you think could help us. What you know and keep to yourself could hurt you."
Maldrek slips in front of the more physically intimidating members. "Don't worry, we have no intention of hurting you as long as you can help us. So tell me, is there a way you can help us?"
Maldrek stays quiet, silently approving of Zaci's actions.
Maldrek hisses at the monk. "I suppose we must. Find it."
Maldrek quietly informs the others of what it is. "I see no reason to bother the creature. I say we move on with the mission."
Oh, that's definitely good to hear. From what it seemed like the campaign was just going to be this big smash and grab heist, like a mid-level one shot.
To be honest, to a certain extent I've lost some interest. It's still a fun game and I intend to see it done, but I thought this was going to be a really complex planning heist game and it turned out to be a dungeon crawl/smash and grab. It just wasn't the style I was expecting.
"There is nothing of interest in here. Let's move on."
Not one for empathy or guilt, Maldrek shakes his head. "I remain adamant. It's an unnecessary risk. Let's put it to a vote and be done with it. I vote no."
"It will not cause confusion, it will warn them of our presence. If it's convenient we can get them on the way out."
Maldrek narrows his eyes. "I will bow to the will of the majority, but threatening to go off on your own puts us all at risk."
"We don't have time to meddle with this. Let's keep moving."
"Well done Krayn. Everybody up into the ventilation shaft."
"I should, and probably quicker next time since I know how they work now. For now let us keep moving, that noise could have attracted attention."
"Check those soldiers for anything useful, then let's keep moving."
"It's high enough to get under!" Maldrek shouts.
Oh silly me, I should have rolled a knowledge check to identify any strengths and weaknesses of the soldiers. I may not be involved in the combat but I could shout advice.
Maldrek bites his cheek. Come on! Think...
Maldrek hisses. "Yes, and it's easier to work in silence! Stop playing around with those things!"
Not quite. Snap Shot allows you to treat your initiative rolls as a 20 for a surprise round. That means if you are acting in the surprise round, then you get to treat your initiative as a 20. If you would not normally be acting in the surprise round then snap shot does nothing, just as it says at the end. If a rogue is prevented from acting in the surprise round, this talent has no effect.
A headache begins forming in Maldrek's head. Oh by all that is sane... "Tell me if things start getting serious over there!" Poorly programmed indeed if their first instinct is to attack. I wonder if they're smart enough to warn somebody else of intruders...
Maldrek examines the device closely as he whispers to Eleanora. "Twice, if I know I need to ahead of time. However I like to keep one extract of haste for emergencies, if you recall the centaur ambush it turned out rather useful."
Maldrek nods. "Very well, I'll take care of it. Give me a minute to prepare the extract." A minute of mixing smelly ingredients follows, and then he drinks down a smoky liquid. His form grows more and more blurry until he turns into a gas, and he slips between the bars. While in gaseous form he scouts the area quickly.
Maldrek shakes his head. "No amount of contortionist can get through four square inches. Unless you secretly have no bones or organs, I think we need another route."
