[Adventure]: Bosch's Revenge (DM: Dimsdale, Judge ??)

"Hey, big boy. Stay here with Skaliss and Vimak. We're going scouting not rampaging. We'll be back shortly."

Quan, Nementah and the 'surprisingly' silent dwarf find a spot to view the area without possible detection.

[sblock=Quan, Nementah and Rocco]
You notice a camp. There is no dragon present however. Your gut feeling is that it is an advanced scouting party. There is a huge fire to the lower left of the camp. Surrounding the fire are the scout time, currently receiving instructions from a large muscular dragonborn. Stationed throughout the perimeter o fthe camp are large guards, two in front an dtwo in the back guarding the two exits from the camp.

As your watch, a messenger enters from the north exit of the camp and runs to the leader. He speaks to the leader in dragon tongue. The leader responds, then straps on his armor and weapons. The others do the same when he makes a loud command.

My liege, Lord Bosch wissshes for usss to proceed with our plansss now. Sssomething happened at the portal. Many of the army didn't make it through. He wishesss to attack tonight before word ssspreads to Daunton that our forcesss have been reduced.

Hmmmm...we can't do anything about that now. The leader turns to the others. BREAK CAMP EVERYONE. IT'S TIME! The leader straps on his gear and weapons. The others follow...

@dimsdale: How far are we from the rest of the party?
That is, if I below challenge who will reach us first :)


"What do you think I ran on the other side and call a challenge, then you respond from this side so they get the idea of being surrounded. Quan could shoot from yet other side, just so we keep the illusion? At least until fighters get closer...

Can you reach them with your unicorn, lass?

Or should we stay together and just send Primera on the other side so they focus on the wrong side for the moment? Quan and I can dispose of the closest guards before they realize what's going on and disappear again in the shrubbery."
 

OOC: Isn't there a penalty to remain hidden when using powers or attacks? I think we need the rest of the party. Besides I can't wait to see what a level 11 barbarian does to these guys.


"Strength in numbers, comrade. We need the might of Vimak, Skaliss and the giant to break these soldiers."
 

"A moment."

Shamaness concentrates and unicorn apparition appears near Skaliss, Vimak and Sigarr.

She moves toward the camp and then turns, paving with her hoof impatiently before galloping off toward the hidden group.

"Done. We may be able to catch some unaware when the rest of the group shows."
 

As a unicorn appears, Sigarr's hands instinctively reach for his weapon, but at the sight of the other two not moving and the creature's non-aggressive actions the half-giant waits.

""Ohhh! Great Odin's raven! What is that thing?" Sigarr states in surprise.
 


GM: Welcome back JRYoung :)

With the party notified of the upcoming movement, its decision time.

Choices:

1. The three currently within attack range can go ahead and and perform a surprise round action. The others can check up after initiative roll.

2. The paladin and the frost giant can try to move forward to reach the rest of the party, the surprise attack in full force. Stealth checks will need to be made from Sigarr and Skalisss. If successful, everyone gets a surprise round attack. If not, the two guards notice you and warn the others. Element of surprise is gone.

My guess is that the dwarf is going to charge anyway so why bother with the choices :)

I'll let your actions dictate what happens next

Let the fun begin

 

Too far for surprise anything at least for move 5 melee character.

"Quan, shoot one of the guards after I move. If they try to find you, I'll intercept. Nementah, get your horse on the other side of the camp so that Quans bolt maybe passes unnoticed."

Rocco moves closer to the camp while his bigger companions approach (hopefully distracting the guards from the forest)

Move: Q17 Stealth (1d20+12=20)
