Thrane strike force. RAIDERS OF AUNDAIR STAY OUT

[FreeXenon]

Excellent! That is what I was looking for. Thanks!

 

[Dekana]

I wonder if it would be possible to sabotage the airship undetected before the assault. I think that would beat chasing after it while flying, if the other team tries to make an escape.

Flying Invisibly up to the ship, securing it, and then taking on the PC's is probably the safest answer. We may be able to use the ship as a bargaining chip or a place to start the assault from there.

 

[Eidalac]

Ok, I'm dropping my +1 warhammer to a masterwork, freeing up 2,000 gp for the group warchest.


While I'm not sure if we could sabatouge the ship, I do agree that flying/climbing to the top and securing the ship before making our way down is our best bet. It'll cut off the best escape route, and I'd give good odds the crates are probably in the ship.

 

[Scurry]

Hm. I appear to have miscounted. Looks like there's already 6. If Dr. Z's going first-come, first-serve, then nevermind my ramblings.

If not, then I'll whip up a damage guy... rogue, possibly duskblade if I feel lazy and like cribbing from another character.

I'll finalize expenditures once I get work on XP. If I can scribe scrolls then I'll take requests for any extra scrolls off my spell list (if people want Enlarges, Expeditious retreats, etc).

EDIT: It's probably a not half-bad idea to have someone who can do hide and move silently without magic in case we need a lone scout.

 

[Eidalac]

Well, Ast has a +11 to both, which is about as good as it gets without magic.

Plus, worst case, I can slip him my elixirs, boost both to +21.

 

[Dekana]

While I'm not sure if we could sabatouge the ship, I do agree that flying/climbing to the top and securing the ship before making our way down is our best bet. It'll cut off the best escape route, and I'd give good odds the crates are probably in the ship.

Indeed, if the coffins were still on an airship at the top, and the PC's holed up in the tower, we could simply fly up and hijack the ship without a fight (our goal after all is the coffins, not the lives of the other team).

However, reading back on DrZombie's posts, I don't actually see him say the airship is at the tower; just that there's a ramp which could be used for one.

Edit: I haven't looked through the Raiders of Aundair IC post, so I only know as much as this thread says.

 

[DrZombie]

Whoops. looks like there's a lot of people willing to kick innocent fellow gamers in the pills.

As for the one-shot items : I'm OK with scrolls and such, but the evil elemental-sprouting gems are not done. That would be a little unfair. Very funny, but unfair (euhm, yeah, my idea of funny is a bit weird at times.)

You know the ship is moored at the tower. Just flying away with an airship is a bit tricky unless you're from house lyrander and have a dragonmark.

As for the XP : you're all 1500 XP over lvl 5.

I'll sort out who's in the game tomorrow morning. Had a very long day.


nighty night people.
