S@squ@tch's Against the Giants - Team Gold

[Strahd_Von_Zarovich]

Void return to the party.
Wolves or guarding dogs I assume. The entire building is surrounded, the only way in on foot is from the gate, but it is guarded. There is a watch tower over there, I will try to climb up that watch tower and see if there is anyone inside it.
With that, the Gitz returns to the shadows of the jungle and makes his way to the watch tower. Once there, he will try to climb it and see if there is anyone inside.

action

Stealth mode. Then climb (take 20 or take 10) + listen if there is someone up there. If not, he will continue to climb. If he will fall, he will activate his feather fall.

[s@squ@tch]

Void disappears once again into the jungle foliage.

Void

You approach the south wall, and take a look at the watchtower above -- it lies about 25' above the ground.

The surface of the wood timbers are wet and coated with moss, making the walls much more slick than normal.

You try your best, taking plenty of time, to establish a foothold, but cannot.

OOC: Taking 10 for climb check yields a 12 (Void has +2 mod to climb), not enough to climb -- do you want to roll? Would take 3 successful rolls in order to climb.

[stonegod]

The bird-thing lands and turns into the shifter soon after Void departs. Three entrances. Wolves or such inside. North and east side less defended, or go over wall to west. Its more than the shifter has said in weeks.

Domoris

The only "walls" that you saw were the ones that connected the main hall with the outbuilding (across the open wolf compound) to the NE.

There is nothing on the west side besides a windowless wall, which is met at the top by the large angled roof structure.

Only entrances you saw were the wooden gates, into the wolf compound, to the north and east, along with the main double doors on the south face.

"Let us wait until the monk returns to make our decision." Morph stares out into the jungle, thinking of what form to take during the battle ahead.

[Strahd_Von_Zarovich]

Void returns with a grim face.
Haven’t been able to climb the moldy structure, too wet and not foot holds.

If you have poison or if anyone is familiar with a narcotic plant around here, we can drug the guarding dogs and pass the gate without alarming the denizens inside.

"Is it too wet to burn it down?" Dori asks

OOC

Ha! Well done s@s

The dampness in the air is quite apparent -- from your vantage point, roughly 100' from the structure, is that the outside walls are covered in moss.

The likelyhood that a fire would catch is small, unless a yellow star was nearby....

That said, nothing is impossible, just would take a LOT of heat.

[s@squ@tch]

OOC: Actions?

[EvolutionKB]

"Why don't we go to the front door? It seems easy enough."

[stonegod]

Domoris hisses. Be seen. Alert all. Need to kill the eyes or put them out.

[renau1g]

"Well, it ain't looking like the giants are coming to us, so we gotta go and see them. Afore we go, let's make sure that the Host is watching out fer us" Dori says, as he grabs his holy symbol and mutters a few words.

"Stay close to me cousin" the dwarf says, adding"When the fighting starts, I'll call on the plants in the area to grab hold of the enemies and allow us to pick them apart from afar, so don't just rush headlong into it.", turning to see everyone.

"While a rest would have been nice, I believe I am ready to go. What is our plan." He makes a side-long glance at Morph as he emphasizes this last bit. "Our real plan."

[s@squ@tch]

The warforged studies the Steading silently.

"Any attempt to draw them out into the open would alert the entire complex. That path leads towards our destruction."

"To succeed, we must gain entrance without notice."

OOC

The newer, more cryptic Dreadnought has arrived.

[stonegod]

I cannot blind the watchers. I can calm a wolf, not all.

[Strahd_Von_Zarovich]

Since there are wolves over there and their noses can sense the invisible and the quiet we must use our minds.

If one of you can put them to sleep, poison them or cast a spell that will blur their scent ability, then we’ll be able to pass through without being noticed.

Hudder scratches his head a moment then shrugs to himself. "Why don' we just try settin it on fire? Then they might have somethin else ta be thinkin bout besides us runnin about causin michief?"

A burning fortress is a beckon tower for other denizens around.

[EvolutionKB]

Morph shakes his head. "My spells are for hindering enemies directly or aiding our allies. Not misdirection."
