René maintains his position and tags Jakardros with Guidance.
Not having much better to do, René moves over towards one of their ranger allies with a ranged weapon and casts guidance on them.
Seeing that there wasn't a whole lot he could do from this range, René pats Reynard on the back and wards him.
"What's so hard to figure out about flying? Draumin can fly. I can fly can carry Cordwin with Kobu in my Handy Haversack. Erond can fly and carry Skarn. I can make Trox fly and carry Reynard. That's all of us. And I at least don't have anything that will help you with shocks."
"I'm sure one of the rest of us could carry up Kobu. My thought is that it's better to go in from the aerie were we might not get into a tussle with eagles than the waterfall where we will most certainly get into a fight with shocker lizards."
"Can you tell us anything about the eagle aerie? Namely, is it still inhabited by eagles and if so, are they the regular variety or some kind of giant version? I lean towards that being our best way in since it's the opposite direction from where the ogres would be expecting someone to come from."
"If we are to take back this fort, are there any weaknesses in their defenses you know about? I know they've likely changed up guard schedules and maybe fortified things, but do you know of secret passages or unusual ways in or the sort?"
René gives the spider a glare even as he chuckles under his breath at the creature trying to scrabble at open space.
I'm going to be on vacation from Thursday March 3rd until Tuesday March 22nd. Feel free to bot me during this time. Also, René has no particular interest in having any of the magic items found.
René edged just far enough forward to see the creature, sending a glare its way.
René quickly weighed up his options. He didn't know what the potion was, but drinking it would leave the creature open to attack. It didn't have any place it could really run to with Erond blocking the door. His best bet was probably to stay where he was and try to hex the creature.
Not wanting to get in people's way and seeing that things seemed to be well in hand, René just sauntered forward a bit.
"Clear we were waiting fer one of the tanks ta charge whatever beastie is inside." René whispered back to Druamin. A bit louder he added, "Go get'em big guy," patting Reynard on the back.
"Tell me, have you ever thought of bein' a fisherfolk? Could be useful ta have the tide come in every time ya went to the beach." René continued to mock.
René, assuming the big lady was likely to be the most dangerous, started throwing out some jokes at her expense. "Hey lady, yer so fat when Sarenrae said 'Let there be light', you had ta move! Hee hee."
René moved next to Reynard, reaching past him to open the door he was in front of.
FYI, I'll be going be on vacation starting on Wednesday Sept 22nd and I'll be out for about 2 weeks. Feel free to bot my hexing of enemies during this time.
René moved up and slowly opened the door to the north.
René moved up near the door and tried to make Lucky less lucky.
René stuck close to the back, making sure to keep an eye on their rear and general surroundings while everybody else's attention was focused forward.
René stared blankly as his companions as they respond to a 'which should we do' question with a 'yes'. Then he suggested, "Let's just check out the house. Bustin' down the door is bound ta be noisy and it seems like it's been that way for a bit, so it can wait some."
René called softly down to Skarn. "Any of those there things have a Black Arrow logo or sommat?"
Glad that he decided to hang back so as not to ruin the surprise, René hustled to move forward.
Relying on the fact that for now at least they were fairly close, René patted Trox on the back. "Go get 'im, buddy. Try ta finish him off afore I get there, so as not ta expose me poor, innocent lil eyes, yeah? Heh."
"Huh, so most likely, big'n'ugly either killed some Black Arrows or looted them after they ran inta some other trouble. If it's some bigger trouble, mebbe why they went all in-com-mune-a-cado like."
"I guess big'n'ugly was a really big dog person? Tried ta warn him y'all are brutal in a fight. Guess he was too dumb ta take heed. Any hoo, not that our cat-seeing detour is done, on ta th' keep?"
"Yeah, git'em Fayewen! That ugly lump could really use a bath!" René chuckled.
From his position further away, René hopped up and moved a little closer, still trying to keep his companions between him and the foes. "I'd turn around 'n leave peaceful-like if I were you. These lot can be pretty nasty in a fight. Just th'other day, they took down a demon lady who was even uglier'n you! Haha!"
"If you want. As I said, it's yer hide, not mine. Speaking of, I'm pretty terrible at hiding. Too jangly." René moved his arms about, letting his bracelets jingle together meaningfully. He then moved about 20 feet back from those who were confronting the trappers and found a rock to sit on, making sure that his companions would be between him and the oncoming folk. This way at least, the trappers wouldn't think he was trying to ambush them when he was inevitably spotted.
"Eh, I'm of the mindset that if ya don't have ta pick a fight, don't. But hey, y'all'll be the ones doing the stabby-stab, so I guess it's up ta the rest of you."
Rene started heading towards the sound. "I'm all in favor of helpin' a big cat, but sounds like it might be part of a hunt. We gonna git on the hunter's bad side ta save this critter?"
I believe I had about 2721 going in (+ some some silver/copper) + 7825 = 10,546 gp. I will purchase the following:
This should leave me with about 4,446 gp
Ok, René is all leveled up. New spells in my spellbook are Hollow Blades, Fly, Prayer (patron spell), Glitterdust (favored class, human). I also picked up the Healing Hex. I do not particularly want anything from the loot list.
I'm in for the next book and will level up this weekend.
René continued to cheer the group on from his (hopefully) safe position.
René didn't even bother to say anything, simply laughing at the creature's foolishness. He had very little doubt that with their number they could take the thing down.
"Ugh, who thought mixin' a shadow with a snake were a good idea? Man, I'd hate ta be either of that one's parents!" René chuckled from where he hoped he was safe.
Preparing himself, René made a mighty acrobatic "jump" from his position on a lower floor to the floor above, dragging himself up behind Druamin while making sure not to actually put any weight on the ground.
If I'm mistaken, the UMD roll:
Grunting in mild annoyance as the one remaining enemy decided to stand out of his line of site, René prepared himself to try to grab Drumin's arm if the stairs collapsed beneath him.
"Remember not ta stand too close to 'em! The stairs'll collapse!" René reminded.
Cursing at his distance from their foes, René took a different tactic and started to move down the stairs, hoping to get close enough to them but a floor down instead.
Not wanting to get in the way of the front-liners, René hollered out, "Don't ferget ta keep some space between ya for structural soundness!" before moving back to give Trox more room. Once in the back where hopefully no one would pay attention, he started muttering to himself.
René started waving members of the party through. "Keep about 10 feet of distance between ya to spread out the load." He kept a wary eye on people in case he needed to dive to catch them.
René felt confident that his ancestors would protect him if he fell. As such, he deferred to the others to decide where in the order he should go.
"True, I been round a fair bit. I mighta seen such a thing before." René acknowledged as he looked at the item Erond wasn't.
