At ease folks, just a little fun. How do you think he does it?
What about a...
NG Human
Ranger Infiltrator/Witchguard
Combat Style - Archer
Favored Enemy - Undead
After losing his ward, and a year's worth of losing himself and soul searching... He followed signs to Garundi, Manaket to be precise. And now here, Wati.
Next step, redemption.
"I seek the Speckled Witch, who's face reflects the starlit night sky. Where may I find her?"
If the concept seems plausible, I'll create an alias.

Honestly, I think it just comes down to CR, especially in a sandbox type adventure.
The only other thing might be how elaborate the scenario is. How many moving parts as it were. Black Dragons, Kobold army, Mimic, magic exclusion (lost half resources), statues... I suppose this is CR, too. We're mot advanced enough to manage all that at once. Not enough in our portfolio.
Male Human Sensei-Four Winds 3
Was just thinking if I only found a bow, we could swap.
Male Human Sensei-Four Winds 3
Or bow... Shae has pointy ears. :)
Male Human Sensei-Four Winds 3
Tarek looks for a crossbow or bow.
Male Human Sensei-Four Winds 3
Let's go Shae... Crit time!
Male Human Sensei-Four Winds 3
How many crossbow bolts hit during that time?
Male Human Sensei-Four Winds 3
As soon as it's safe to toss.
Male Human Sensei-Four Winds 3
From another game, think DM is having internet access issues.
Male Human Sensei-Four Winds 3
Anton. Would you be so kind as accepting a bottle from our friends at the door and bringing it up this alley to me? Expediency is all.
Tarek will use a shared language I'd known. Hallit, Vudrani, Draconic.

Tarek makes his way to the bundle, speaking in Draconic... Hey, that lightning?
Male Human Sensei-Four Winds 3
Perception, spot alchemical lightning: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (20) + 10 = 30
Male Human Sensei-Four Winds 3
Move and throw.
Attack: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 2 = 9
Damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6
Male Human Sensei-Four Winds 3
Maintaining distance, Tarek looses a javelin.
Attack: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 2 = 11
Damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7
Male Human Sensei-Four Winds 3
1d8 for lt xbow.
Tarek, grabs a javelin... But will not throw unless he's sure the "thing" cannot reach him. 30 feet away.
Male Human Sensei-Four Winds 3
So long as they're not magical...
Spellcraft, magical?: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (16) + 9 = 25
Male Human Sensei-Four Winds 3
The usual... look for a range weapon or maybe alchemical lightning? Could just toss the kobold!
Male Human Sensei-Four Winds 3
Not wanting to trigger the "alarm", Tarek looks for something to start a fire with.
Survival: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (11) + 9 = 20
Guys, "fire" triggers the alarm, too... These things are useless. My kingdom for acid, alchemical lightning or a damned crossbow or bow. Shae, can you use a bow?
Male Human Sensei-Four Winds 3
Male Human Sensei-Four Winds 3
Shae, can you tell of those javelin are magical without using magic?. Tarek moves to the bottles.
Male Human Sensei-Four Winds 3
Tarek keeps evading the mimic and looking until he finds an appropriate projectile or thrown weapon.
Male Human Sensei-Four Winds 3
Tarek, using cover... makes his way there.
Male Human Sensei-Four Winds 3
Appraise, find range weapon: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 2 = 17
Perception, find range weapon: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (8) + 10 = 18
Male Human Sensei-Four Winds 3
That did only 3 damage? yes, I would move after the lob.
Male Human Sensei-Four Winds 3
Maybe its reaching but... Do with it what you will: from Lightning Bolt spell
The lightning bolt sets fire to combustibles and damages objects in its path. It can melt metals with a low melting point, such as lead, gold, copper, silver, or bronze. If the damage caused to an interposing barrier shatters or breaks through it, the bolt may continue beyond the barrier if the spell's range permits; otherwise, it stops at the barrier just as any other spell effect does.
I was thinking the coins melt, then harden... Fusing with and trapping the thing.
Male Human Sensei-Four Winds 3
For brotherhood!
Attack, lob lightning: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10
Damage: 5d6 ⇒ (5, 1, 6, 4, 5) = 21
Male Human Sensei-Four Winds 3
Everyone backoff, 30 feet... It's time to shock the monkey! Tarek withdraws.
Male Human Sensei-Four Winds 3
Grappled? When was it grappled?
Male Human Sensei-Four Winds 3
And please don't think we're lemmings... The entire premise was loyalty.
Male Human Sensei-Four Winds 3
A blind ogre trying to find/spot a large missile weapon... And then man it! Sweet!
Male Human Sensei-Four Winds 3
Pepper's shared wet dream to please Mayra?
Male Human Sensei-Four Winds 3
Honestly, I feel I tried... But failed. Suggested talking, alchemical lightning.. should probably go off as bottle breaks and give everyone 6d6. Suggested range. I think we were sick of Tarek talking.
It got Pepper and Weyland was going toe-to-toe. Were supposed to be like brothers. Tarek is supposed to run? He can't, he has to back Weyland's play.
Weyland had the best chance of doing damage, real damage. If you take it back, it attacks Weyland and he's dead.
And Smaug has rep, this is a random monster. Bad intel. Marya screwed us. Besides, rules said and non-humanoid entering vault triggers alarm. This thing humanoid?
I'll go along with whatever you guys want. I was praying it would miss. That's why I took full defense.
Male Human Sensei-Four Winds 3
We were sent in with henchmen, muscle.
Male Human Sensei-Four Winds 3
You can't expect folks "not" to fight something.
Tarek, may he rest on pieces... Was trying to give Weyland another go at 4d8 sneak damage, since the dice gods "blessed" him with three 1's.
Male Human Sensei-Four Winds 3
Nope, that sounds right! Ummm, this is why monsters have CRs?
Male Human Sensei-Four Winds 3
Tarek taunts the creature, maintaining a defensive posture. He tries to draw its aggression.
Male Human Sensei-Four Winds 3
Tarek steps out and attacks with his newly acquired staff.
Attack, staff: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (12) + 7 = 19
Damage, staff: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3
Reflex, staff: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11
Start clearing the area in front of the huge statue... stay away from this thing. Anyone fighting, missile weapons... find them, the bigger the better!
Male Human Sensei-Four Winds 3
Let it answer! Tarek twirls his newly acquired quarterstaff slowly.
Delaying action, if it attacks... he attacks (if he can reach).
Male Human Sensei-Four Winds 3
Behind a small statue? Common... Stopped speaking to Kobolds.
Was taking a free action, speaking and kept it short. Didn't think it was my turn.
Male Human Sensei-Four Winds 3
Mimic! Want to live? Help us...
Male Human Sensei-Four Winds 3
I fear if our friends act first, they might ruin its disposition... If it has any. Something about mortal harm and trust and an indirect relationship.
Male Human Sensei-Four Winds 3
Mimic... Shapeshifter-thing. Huge covering 225 square feet... Pile of gold coin.
Male Human Sensei-Four Winds 3
Sounds risky, but it may come to that... Think you can use your charms to coax that thing into helping us ?
Male Human Sensei-Four Winds 3
Appraise: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 2 = 13
Tarek moves back to the group. We can let them do their thing but, can that creature be reasoned with?
If we could get it to help move the statues...
Male Human Sensei-Four Winds 3
Let's clarify, who's got the lightning? Guessing Tarek.
Also, while he positions... We can clear?
