[LPF] Daggers at Midnight II

Garnet looks over the building and its surroundings, trying and failing to look like a casual observer. Her shield is on her arm, but her axe is still across her back.

"What do you think?" she asks the others. "They'll surely be ready for a frontal assault. Does anyone see another way?" It occurs to her that she has been away from the mountains too long. She would never have asked a group of Dwarves for another choice.

OOC: Standing at K18. Garnet should probably be at the lead of the group, along with the eidelon and/or tiger, yes?

PM: Are there any windows on the warehouse? Also, are there any Whitecloaks around? And am I correct in thinking it could make trouble if a group of adventurers try to batter down a door in the middle of the docks?

Veniarus looks at the Strange man and says "HUH!?"

Pari strolls down the docks with his comrades in arms, occasionally scratching Tagaiwi behind the ears or under his chin and lost in thoughts of their objective. As the crew closes in on Sunderham's, he looks around and takes note of their surroundings. Well, it's fairly obvious what we're about, I guess. We look exactly what we are . . . a wrecking crew on a mission.

He stops with the others to consider the objective; while he's looking, he takes a moment for a quick prayer to Kavan and feels a fresh spring in his legs.

"I'm guessing she knows we're coming by now, friends, if she's there at all. I'd say straight in and get it done. Anyone care to check for traps on the door, or shall we barrel on through?

"I'd like Tagaiwi close to me; he'll watch my flank should I need to use the bow against the bitch, and I want to be close if he needs some healing. So if he's to be out front I'll be with 'im."

[sblock=OOC]Casting Longstrider. Will also begin spamming Resistance before entering - though it likely won't require a recasting at this point, since it lasts 30 rounds . . .[/sblock]

Ariel Esimae, Female Aasimar Cleric (NPC)

With the gnome casting spells in preparation, Ariel assists, "Let me add Helina's guidance and resistance to our band of heroes as well."

The warmaiden also casts a defensive spell to toughen her skin like bark in preparation for the assumed battle ahead.

"I can add Helina's Blessing as well once we get ready to enter."

OOC: Staying put off the map for now, let me know where you want Ariel to be. Probably in the middle?

You are in a seedy part of the city and the door might not be locked. It is a place of business.[/sblock]As Garnet looks around, there are no Whitecloaks in sight. She doesn't recall seeing any in the last 5 minutes of their approach to the pier, either.

Looking at the building from the head of the pier, she cannot see any windows on the front or near side. The double doors have some small windows built into them, but only about 1 square foot in size.

OOC: Just to speed this along, at player level, how do we feel about getting our marching order down and just strolling up to the door? Garnet is opposed to waiting for nightfall, as the priestess may already have seen them.

It sounds like want Pari/Tagaiwi and Garnet up front, Venarius and his eidolon in the second rank, then Maia and Heinrich, and Ariel as rearguard? This may be a bit of a waste, because Ariel looks like a strong melee fighter and I don't think we'll get outflanked in the close quarters of the building. But we have more melee power than spell power at this point, so it might be useful to leave Ariel free to cast for a round or two as well as having an ace up our sleeve in case we are outflanked.

Sound OK?

DalkonCledwin · Jan 30, 2012

OOC:

@mfloyd3 Sounds good to me. Going to cast Mage Armor on Kalius, and spam Guidance and Resistance on Veniarus and Kalius prior to entering combat.

Before entering, Veniarus casts a defensive spell on his Eidolon so as to prevent it from taking as much damage from the opponents that they may face.

Maidhc O Casain · Jan 30, 2012

OOC: Let's have one to open the door (Garnett?) at H26. Maybe put Ariel beside him at I26. Pari and Tagaiwi can "flank" the door on one side at G25 and G26 respectfully. Veniarus and Kalius at J25 and J26, "flanking" on the other side. Heinrich and Maia can be a few feet back at H23 and I23 to provide ranged fire as needed. We're still close enough together that an area effect will get most or all of us, but at least we're not all lined up straight in front of the door in case of line effects. BTW, I'm fine with Pari and Tagaiwi taking point as well if that's what's desired - not trying to keep them out of the line of fire
