Zaid/FW Spoiler: Nombir is keeping watch while Zaid talks with Undrella, but is listening intently. "We can help make your life easier here if you help us. What do you say?" says Nombir winking at Undrella whilst holding his weapon! That will be his morning star by the way!
Nombir will accompany Zaid, as he's his best friend in the world after all. Well actually, he's is only friend!!
Nombir listens to everybody, ponders and then makes a decision. " The longer we wait the more chance that a Gnoll patrol will discover us, but Shimei is correct about the guards and Livvy is correct about the healing. On that basis, we attack tomorrow morning at first light while the village is still sleeping. That will give us time to heal and prepare. Zaid and Shimei can create distractions once the rest of us start to infiltrate the village. Then they can also used their ranged weapons and spells to support the attack initially and then join us in the village once things kick off. I will lead the attack with Erizi and the rest of you follow us. We head straight for the building that Rova has indicated. If it all goes wrong we all run and meet back here. All we all agreed?"
"Thank you Shimei, this good. Please keep watch on the surrounding area with Erizi and Norn. See if you can spot all of their look outs ". Nombir then looks at Rova and Livvy. "Rova, you need to tell me where the Chief is likely to be and don't lie or you die with us if things go wrong!"
"That sounds like a sensible plan my friend. That's why your are the brains around" says Nombir nodding approvingly with a chuckle at Zaid. He then addresses the entire party "We need to get away from this place before the Gnolls come back in force, then make our plan in detail, then we go and find the Gnoll chief in Kelmarane. Rova, you will tell us where the chief is likely to be and no funny business or I'll leave you to him" says Nombir sternly and pointing at Erizi. "Shimei, please lead us to a place near a suitable entry point into the village where we can make our final preparations and we'll go from there. Now everybody grab your gear please and get into our usual party order for the move. Shimei, please lead on when you are ready"
In utter exasperation "Perhaps we need a plan before our small group attacks the entire Gnoll garrison by ourselves!" says Nombir loud enough for everybody, including Erizi, to hear.
Nombir listens to Eriz and sighs. Nombir speaks quietly to Erizi "Listen my warrior friend, we will carry on with our mission today together. Rova may have some useful information, so I think we should take him along. I don't understand your hatred of the Gnolls, so I will not insult you by saying I do. At the first sign of treachery then you may do what needs to be done. However, as we are risking our lives together, lets vote." Nombir addresses the whole party "Who votes that Rova comes with us today? We need to resolve this issue now and be done with it"
Hearing Livvy's concerns about water. "I can create water whenever we need it Livvy""You can? Any time? Oh, that would have helped... I mean, let me give him more water and refill my waterskins, ok?" "Yes of course Livvy". Nombir will create enough water to replace whatever Livvy uses so that the waterskins remain full.
"I think you are right and it's odd that the village wasn't left any warships to guard the village from the pirate threat. Come, lets find Stefnir and the others"
Hearing Livvy's concerns about water. "I can create water whenever we need it Livvy"
"If any of you are hurt, please come here" say Nombir, looking especially at Erizi with a knowing look. Once everybody who needs to be is near. Nombir will channel energy twice:
"Well done Livvy" as Nombir arrives and looks at Rova's wounds. Heal Check to see how badly hurt Rova is and what treatment is required:
"I can see that you have made your choice as well". "Go heal this mongrel while my wounds continue to weep". "I have a mission and will fulfill it with you or without you". Erizi then turns and begins to gather his things. He is headed for the Gnoll encampment. Nombir shakes his head in disbelief! "I will tend your wounds shortly Erizi, but Rova is badly wounded while you are not! Anyway, don't you want to find out where he's been and where the other Gnolls are?"
Nombir looks at Erizi angrily "Until Rova is proven guilty he is not to be touched, do you understand? If is proven a traitor, then you can kill him. If we just kill every creature we see, then we are no better than the Gnolls you hate so much. Remember you're a warrior, not a butcher!" With that Nombir moves to Rova and Livvy. "Let's move him to the camp where we can tend to his wounds properly whilst the others keep watch."
As Nombir moves with the party "it's not your fault Livvy, I tried to give Rova a chance, but it looks like he may have betrayed us. However, if we just kill everything we see, we just become animals like them."
"Agreed Shimei. Lets go everybody, quickly!"
Nombir will continue to ready an action to attack any enemy that attacks him or Zaid. "I think we should run or get into the cave! We are at big disadvantage being in the open at night! " shouts Nombir to the others.
Perception
"What's that moving in on us from our left Zaid?" says Nombir loud enough for everybody to hear!
Nombir will stay with Zaid and ready an action to attack any enemy with his morning star that attacks either of them.
"I think you may be right smiles Kurn ruefully, so lets help the others, quick!" Kurn jogs over towards the ship.
Nombir moves to Zaid "be careful!" he shouts, with a face full of concern for his friend. He then burns a spell to cast cure light wounds on Zaid:
Initiative
Nombir is a bit unsteady on his feet, but mumbles "are they dead?"
Nombir will move outside!
Assuming Nombir hears Shimei's call, he will get away from the swarm as best he can etc.
Fortitude Saves:
"Yes of course my friend" whispers Nombir back to Shimei
Nombir is happy to go on watch with Livvy as suggested.
Once in the cave "thank you Shimei, you have done well yet again" smiles Nombir. He addresses everybody "lets make camp here. We all need rest and food. After that we need to talk about our next move. We are doing ok through our combined efforts, so well done everybody."
"Right that's that sorted. Rova" nombir points his sword at the Gnoll "will go at the front of our pack with that man" Nombir points at Shimei. "You will do what he tells you without question, or you will answer to him!" Nombir points at Erizi. "Ok Shimei, lets get out of here. Everybody fall in and lets move" Nombir will trust Shimei's judgement on where to go next, as we just need to get away from here, decide what we are going to do next and make a suitable plan.
Nombir listens to Livvy "Very well Livvy, thank you" and then turns to talk to the others. He moves over to Zaid first. Zaid
Spoiler:
"Livvy thinks that Rova intends to join our "pack" on the condition that we provide him with the flind's sword. She believes him and I agree with her that we could take advantage of his possible loyalty - even if he plans to betray us, we should be able to take advantage of that betrayal, too, if we plan well. We might need to separate our party so he doesn't know where everyone is or what the plan is, of course. Have a think and discuss it with the others while I help guard the Gnoll" Nombir the re-joins Livvy "the others will let us know what they think of the proposal shortly" say Nombir and winks at Livvy.
Nombir looks exasperated as Erizi walks off. "Will somebody please get a grip of him! He's a fine warrior and we need him, but his unpredictability is starting to become a problem! There's no time for this!"
Nombir moves closer to the Gnoll. "Livvy, please make sure he understands what I'm about to say to him". Speaking to the Gnoll "I want to know where the rest of your pack is located and want to know now?! You can have a sword once our time in this place is finished and you are set free"
Nombir steps between the Gnoll and Erizi. "I told the Gnoll he would live if he complies. If he doesn't then he's yours, but until then keep watch please and let Livvy continue. Without honour we are no better than the Gnoll". Diplomacy
Now that the party are relatively safe and hiding. "Please ask the Gnoll how many of them there are in the village and what other creatures live here? Tell him to be quick, as we don't have much time"
Nombir follows Norn with his sword at the Gnoll's back.
"I told the Gnoll he will live if he complies and that is how its hall me my friend, but if he tries to run, attack, or not comply, then you and Erizi can deal with him as you wish. We need information from him if possible. Livvy, ask him how many Gnolls and there allies there are in the village while we follow Shimei please"
Nombirs breathes a sigh of relief "Well done everybody! We're alive, just!". He keeps his morning star ready in case the Gnoll changes his mind. "We need to move away from this place. Livvy, please tell the Gnoll that he will live if he does what you say. Somebody bind his hands. Shimei, please lead us out of here to somewhere we can hide and question this creature"
Casting on the defensive, Nombir channels positive energy into the party, selectively channelling out the Flind.
"Everybody run!" shouts Nombir, who will wait until last to cover the withdrawal of the party.
Nombir has another attack Attack
Damage
He then moves back 5ft toward Zaid slowly
Luckily Nombir's armour holds out and he remains undamaged. I reply he swings his great sword at the enemy again:
Let's forget that then!
"Stay where you are Zaid!" Nombir then moves to attack the nearest enemy: Attack
+1 for bless = 14 Damage
Whoops I forgot to roll for initiative
Nombir will move next to Zaid to give him protection and will attack any enemy that comes into range with his great sword.
Stealth check
