Why not have the team just be team.lake? Infiltration is past

Yeah. But I imagine that Team Infiltrate doesn't want to be subsumed and seem like the "lesser" of the two.

Team Fusion might be best.

I like the name Fusion, it works for Shade-9s shtick too

2024 Druids only know a limited number of forms, so Bjorn’s only aquatic options are giant frog or venomous snake.

I vote for Shade trying to snag it using stealth. Bjorn can observe how it goes under water (along with Svetlana). Worst case, Shade becomes the bait and leads it to us while an invisible Aywin moves in from behind

I'm fine with that.
Aywin will stand ready to help.
Cheers,

Bjorn's frog-tongue would work just as well as an octopus tentacle. But he can stick back and observe, too.

BTW, everyone in Team Fusion should post for me an updated Status Line after a Short Rest, which you will all get.

1 Okay so looks like Aywin and Shade-9 are the divers - sneak in and grab the idol from under the sleeping Hydra

2 Frog-Bjorn to take point in the water monitoring the hydra and fish, backup if Aywin or I fail (ie get caught)

3 We will need a Shore crew to keep an eye on the Hydra and to provide a distraction if one of the heads decides to wake up (our last encounter showed that individual heads can wake and bite independently even if the rest are asleep)

4 Theres also the obelisk to keep investigating and a lookout to keep the Cultist at bay

5 and a recovery crew to make sure everyone gets out of the water and healed if anything goes sideways

6 did I miss anything?

Hey guys,

I'm not sure Aywin should dive. Unless we have pass without trace and invisibility, he'll be obvious. That's 2 spells from the highest level we can currently cast. Maybe a less ressource intensive approach is to send Shade 9, and have invisible Svetlana check how he's doing periodically(no water breathing, but unseen). She could telepathically tell Aywin to jump in if Shade9's in trouble.

Also, Aywin will cast Aid 2x before the short rest. 6 will have their hp max increased by 5.
I can't remember who benefited from this last short rest, but I'm pretty sure everybody in the fusion team now has an extra 5 hp, including Bill!
Cheers,

Sg

@FitzTheRuke

Posting now, but I was checking in on two things.

1. I assume given the time constraints we are all under, a Long Rest is going to be out of the question until we are done. Obviously, it makes no sense to do that in the middle of the enemy's lair, and IIRC, time is of essence.

2. On the other hand, is a short rest going to be possible at this point? And @TaranTheWanderer @MetaVoid @Kobold Stew - if there is a short rest (now or in future) can you remind me of the following ... a- who did I give inspiration to the last SR, and b- who still has it?

 

[MetaVoid]

I don't think we can short rest, but maybe?
I mean, we cleared out the mine and the guards, we have time until next shift comes...and we can even wait them out and ambush them so we thin the herd a bit more

 

[TaranTheWanderer]

We just finished a short rest 5 minutes ago in game. This was the first combat since our last rest.

You gave inspiration to Merrick and, while I tried to use it by giving the enemy disadvantage , I don’t think it ever actually was needed so I still have it.

We have the stones that let us teleport back 1/day. The whole group needs to be together. But then we would have to find another way back in.
