They are not alone...and there is danger...real danger...in their little homestead.One of the kids begins to make a quick move for a nearby sling, but the eldest Tiefling abruptly grasps his wrist while keeping her eyes locked on the position of these trespasser:"CHEH," she warns the boy.  "He'll have you skewered before you get halfway to it."She gently lets the boy of (probably) 12-13 go and stares hard.  A simple question rises up from the ravine to meet Starn and Vorn; "...what now?"[HR][/HR]MEDIUM DC[HR][/HR][USER=82106]@AbdulAlhazred[/USER] move for Starn:While the others take out the guards, STARN prepares. He activates Rooter and commands it to guard Nimozaran. Though unintelligent, it will at least protect from overt threats.Then he waits; once the sentries are neutralized he walks slowly down into the camp, snuffing lights with his cantrips as he goes.* Intent:  Use Mage Hand + the fictional positioning of the torches, the spectacle, the theatre of it all to spook the kid-bandits and backfoot them.* Primary Check Arcana +17; auto-succeeds vs Medium DC.</blockquote>
