Syldran's page

No worries. Should I make some rolls to determine if my search is successful?

"Perhaps we can try our hands at some redirection? Leak some false information, send them on a wild goose chase. Who knows, we might be able to make them useful to us without their knowledge."

After hearing the news of the newcomers, he gives Annak and Lillith an approving smile.

"It would seem we are now the hunted.", not looking worried at all.

"Now what shall we do about these odd fellows? Hunt them, ambush them, poison them? There are many ways to free us from these pests, if indeed their intentions are to hunt us down."

Syldran blindly leaves the party behind as he heads further into town. Once beyond the front gates, he heads to a nearby pillar with a good view of the entrance and leans on it, patiently waiting for the rest of the party to show up.

Perception: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (1) + 12 = 13
lol, nope :(

I will not partake in the killing of the horses, as a testament to my druidic nature.

"Well, it's about time I can be of some use."

He gives her a cheeky smirk before looking away, the side of his hood almost completely eclipsing his face.

"We have 2 options for poison. Buying a rather suspicious amount of rat poison from the local alchemist, which is commonly mistaken as cholera, or we swipe some Wolfsbane from the Magister, which is a much more potent poison, but it does leave quite the black mark."

He sticks out and points to his tongue.

After the combat comes to an end, Syldran will let the party deal with the last man. He lazily heads to one of the nearby trees and leans against it, surveying the scene with a glint in his eyes.

With a pleasant crunching sound, Syldran drops the now lifeless form of the man.

He rushes off to flank with Lillith. With a flick of his wrist, his fighting fan flies into his hand, ready to lash out at his new opponent.

Is the officer who fell off his horse displayed on the map?

With a grunt of approval, Syldran tightens his grip

Guys, remember in the surprise round you only get a single action, plus your swift and free ones.

D: my bad! I guess I'll just move up then! Can I keep the grapple roll?

With a flurry of his cloak and a flash of his grin, Syldran darts out from his cover, racing through the throng of people to his target, staying low to the ground as he tackles his target, throwing him to the ground, caught in Syldran's vice-like embrace.

I'm not sure who the captain is. If it's the guy in front of me I'll grapple someone else. I don't want to conflict with Lilith's Hideous Laughter.

Stuff is going to start hitting the fan soon. Just so we are all on the same page, are we killing everyone?

Stealth: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (16) + 6 = 22

The only problem with that plan is that they will be wandering around, eating, etc. for a while and have a much greater chance of discovering us. I say hit them as they are dismounting.

That's also another good point. I'm interested in hearing what the other party members think. We might be evil, but we can still come to a decision diplomatically ;P I could get closer if I Wild Shape into an animal, not sure if that would help at all, just putting it out there.

i say we wait for them to go to sleep. Ambush them while only one is on guard. And CDG the rest

I agree with this. I can also cast Obscuring Mist to cause confusion among their ranks if a fight breaks out or we need to make an escape.

I'd like to join the ambush after scouring the city for poison, if you'll have me ;P

"Poisons? I might know a thing or two..."

He gives her a wink as his snake coils around his outstretched hand.

"From what I can tell, she is really well liked. And she makes a delicious stew."

I really should have taken ranks in Craft(Alchemy)... Oops :P I'll be immune to many poisons soon though.

"While you all worry about the power of the divine, I have more news for us. A certain woman named "Mama Guisseppe" travels to the Watchtower every Monday to make some stew for the men. And on a non-related note, the Bard of Barrington, "William Marcus Marlow", is coming to town to do a piece. Just thought I'd relay what I found..."

He rests his back against the wall, obviously ill-at ease to be in such crowded and modernized surroundings.

I will be purchasing a "Mask of Stony Demeanor" and "Armbands of the Brawler".

Ok so if we each have 1k, I assume we are able to find some stores that sell magical wares to spend the money on?

7k, split between 7 characters is 1k each, or 875 each if we want to keep an emergency fund.

Also, skeletal guards would be nice, but the way patrols work around here, I don't think there's anywhere safe to keep them without outing ourselves. That's why I let my zombie burn with the rest of the ship.

I was under the impression it was 7k each?

"I can rest anywhere. I'm quite attuned to the forest's breath, quite often have I lain in it's embrace. However, I can adapt to a more,... civil form of lodging."

What's the total per person?

Syldran later meets up with Delilah to exchange information.

"I've discovered a few things it seems. These fools are too predictable. Seven men on horses leave from the Tower of Balentyne at dawn to patrol the kings roads. They return at dusk."

He gives her a sideways glance.

"Knowing your approach, what have you managed to find out?"

Syldran looks to Delilah. "Shall we?" he says, with an odd politeness.

"It seems like you know what you're doing Razul. I'm rather apt in the arts of subterfuge. I can lie my way through almost any situation. I'll assist in any way I can in order to keep our business here a secret."

Syldran flourishes his cloak in a circular pattern around his body, and as his form drops to the ground,...

I might be able to keep Kargeld dazed with Ear-Piercing Scream long enough for him to be less of an issue. If we can manage to drop one of the other sailors pretty quickly, I can raise him as a zombie to bolster our ranks.

Also, since he seems like a decent enough fellow, I'd like to try to keep Yurik alive, unless he joins Kargeld in the defense of the ship.

Agreed. I also have some spells/skills that might be of use.

I can only speak for myself, but I think we should have a little huddle so we can all be on the same page regarding our intentions?

The next five days will include limited posting die to having 13 hours of overtime and there being work that will be exhausting

Hope you hold up ok

Seeing as everyone had their turn speaking about their intentions, he figured he might as well chip in too.

"My reason might not be as noble as my friends here. I seek to root out the humans that have settled here. They no longer adhere to the ways of the past. No longer to they seek to live in peace with nature, more content to despoil it's beauty and reap it's rewards. I've spent many years sequestered away from humans, no longer sure I quite fit the name anymore,"

Syldran slip away during the festivities, heading into the nearby woods I'm guessing that there are some, if not then somewhere with lots of vegetation to practice his new shape shifting abilities.

Wow ok a lot must have happened if we just leveled up. I'll check out the Gameplay section and then update my stats.

Syldran lithely disembarks and joins the rest of the crew, skulking behind them all.

Syldran grunts in approval, eyeing the captain with disgust.

Seems I missed a lot?

I'm waiting to see what Delilah finds out about the beast before deciding my actions. If it's a normal animal I can cast Charm Animal, and if not I'll approach it to. If it's vulnerable to fire I'll cast Produce Flame to chuck flames at it.

"What have these fools gotten themselves into now? Looks like we'll need to act the heroes and save their hides."

Looking down and noticing Bracnos' transformation with a passive face, he looks back up.

"They'll be a story to tell, I'm sure."

I just wanted to advise everyone I will be away to see some relatives in another province so I will be unable to make any posts until next Monday starting this Wednesday. Please don't kill my PC :<

I wasn't planning on killing him, just scare him...

For those of us on the boats, I'm tempted to use Feast of Ashes on Kargeld to buy them time, however I fear that might be too openly hostile.
