MalaKi is pretty good at talking his way into (and out of) places he doesn’t belong. Maybe he can bluff his way into the target taking Aso, Radik, and Zuko with him?
I'm with Malaki on this one.
Aye for Maliki's plan.
Walk in with who he can, the rest crash the party.
Should we take Issiki with us? Once we are in (or the plan has gone horribly, irrevocably wrong) he can use his power to signal the second group to do their thing.
"Plan good. Native softskins in-go, signal hatchling Issiki, let others in. In agreement."
"Plan good. Native softskins in-go, signal hatchling Issiki, let others in. In agreement."
We should be prepared to go all out on this one. The people in control of the weapons will not hesitate to take us out.
So, are we all going in the front door or will we try the infamous “double insertion”?
I'll leave that to you guys, so long as I have a place at the speartip.
Planning and command assets:
Holdrus' sword is clairvoyant.
Aso and Issiki have missive up to 25 feet.
Any other extraordinary abilities that may come in handy besides killin' the f~!@ outa people?
Faindriac?
Issiki?
What time are we going to make our move? Morning or evening?
PLAN 1:
Holdrus will be near the front and, if the party wants, will spearhead. If we go in both entrances we need ways to get the doors open without looking like common thieves in broad daylight bashing in a door. Knock(the spell/power)?
Also if we go in 2 ways Holdrus and Zuko could spearhead one team and Radik and Aso the other. A Kreen in each group, Shenker and Issiki in Holdrus' group, Faindraic, and Kha-Chik in Radik's.
So group 1 could be:
Holdrus, Zuko, Shenker, Issiki, KirrishGroup 2 could be:
Radik, Aso, Faindric, Kha-Chik, Skarsnikt, and MalakiGroup 2 has the heavier hitters and the wizo/psion so maybe front door?
Group 1 has the cleric and Phychic Warrior, and 2 sneak attackers(Holdrus and Shenker), thinking back door?
PLAN 2, a variation:
I think Rad started this one:Someone or some of us (who have never been here) talk our way in and either let the others in behind us OR begin crackin' heads while the others come in the back.
This solves the problem of opening a door. Can Shenker open the back door without thieve's tools? Is there a roof entrance? The front door 'face', Malaki, and goons could use stalls to mess with them and distract while dudes come in the back. When they start crying 'alarum' we could just start whacking them.
THE BIG QUESTION HERE IS WHAT DO THE 'BACKDOOR' GUYS DO? (no offence kha chik) GET LET IN (if so front or back) OR SNEAKTHIEF IN (looks to be 2 back doors)?
--------------->MAP<--------------------
I hope that Shenker can find some tools to open the door in the back.
If not I will destroy the door with Zuko's help and he can charge into the bathhouse.
I'll get her open, mayor.
keeping my spells as is also.
I say stick with what you got.
Squak!
Squak!
Exactly, Kha-Chik...
MalaKi begins to silently rock back and forth in gleeful anticipation. He looks at Aso and says “Any chance I can get you to wear a little lipstick and rouge? You know, makeup.”
Heh heh....heh heh heh....hrrrmmm...
"Eh? You be the b...b..b..broad, bigjob."
He pokes himself in the chest with his thumb. "I'm g..g..g..gonna be the b..b..b..boss!"
Nort me. I'd make a ugly women.
“I don’t want you to dress up like a woman. I just want you to look, uh, special.”
Hrmmm....not me, mayor.
What's got two thumbs and doesn't wear lipstick?
(thrusts both thums at his chest)
THIS GUY!!!

Radik aims a swipe at MalaKi's face, but the smaller man ducks the blow. For some reason, try as he might, the massive gladiator can't seem to harm any of the others in the group...
He turns to Faindraic, still scowling.
"I enter through the front door. I will take the degenerate, the kneebiter, and the two bugs with me. We will cause pain. Talks-to-rock takes the weaklings through the back door. Find female while idiots are distracted. That is my plan."
"Oweltay artypa? Hrrmmm...."
"Query: Is usual thing, city dwellers attack rich water house take talk hit tools? Is this 'Egg hatcher under-clothes raid' like young city dweller hunter clutches usually do?"
"Yes-yes. Will accompany Radik. Kreen mighty warriors. Good fight anticipated."

Na nah, nay; negatory;... you're are not seeing anything usual these last days with this demented band of jollywaggers."
I don’t think it’d be unreasonable for a defiler to have a blood obsidian dagger on him.

"Kneebiter?" muses Issiki. "I see that our time apart has not improved your manners."
"Aso, it shall be like the hunt; I will go with one group, you with the other. That way we can use the mind-speech to stay in contact."

It's why is good luck havin a parra halferlingers widd allong for the hike.
"Lucky indeed!"
Radik scowls even more at Issiki's "kneebiter" comment.
"Runs from the wind is weak. Kneebiter comes with me. You go."
Still wearing his customary frown, Faindriac winks at Maliki as he says, "Come along Issiki. We 'weaklings' will have probably have the entire structure under control and searched by the time they deal with the two half-giants at the front door."
MalaKi ignore Radik, as always, and says, "Yeah, I was thinking some of us could bluff our way inside. With a little cooperation the plan might even work."
"Hrrmmm....maybe...."
Faindriac looks at Holdrus, to Maliki, and at a couple of others, and stifles a sigh.
'Oh why couldn't I have been as blessed with as much Personal Charm and Magnetism as Intelligence?'
'Oh why couldn't you be as smart as you think you are?'
'Oh Shuttup Cair.'
Faindriac coughs softly to clear his throat, and gain attention.
"Allow me to rectify what I believe may be a potentially fatal misunderstanding. Mr. Radik, the plan is for the members of the front door team to enter through guile, NOT force. The idea is to AVOID attracting the attention that a frontal assault on a well-guarded entrance in the middle of a public street would certainly garner. Anyone entering from in sight of the public should therefore attempt to avoid physical confrontation until they have entered the building.
The BACKdoor team should logically therefore be the one where the individuals who expect to enter the premises fighting should join."
His mouth twists once more into an almost smile. "At least, that is what the 'Rock' thinks."
'HEY! You leave me out of this!'
