[187] stops, and motions for the rest to slow. His eyes have turned from green to a light orange.

"There may be more patrols ahead. This one recommends a stealthy approach. There should be no combat unless we have no choice. You will be safer this way."

"We could try this, 187. But I'm not really good at sneaking around." Pelias answers.

OOC: shadowwalk class feature I assume XP would be the same (skill challenge/ combat encounter)?

Qinik chimes in

"It seems that we are indeed not a group of master spies. Nonetheless, it may be worth it to attempt to remain undetected as long as we can. If that fails, we can change plans. For my part, I have a few spells in the old book here that may prove useful. I have one that can make me unseen, though it slows me down. I will prepare that. I'll also prepare to call on sleep and other such options to slow down any pursuit. And if we are hiding someplace, I can create a ritual of silence around us; sadly, the silence is not a mobile magic, but useful nonetheless."

[187] stands still for sometime before replying.
"The Eladrin is insufficient at stealth. The mage's solutions are not 100% effective. This one suggests the alternative in that case." It unhooks the flail from its waist. "Victory in combat requires three things. Surprise, momentum," its eyes turn red, and a spark of electricity travels along the flail's chain, "and aggression."

Qinik is taken aback

Qinik peers at the construct curiously. "You think so, do you? That we should fight instead of sneak because we aren't good at sneaking? Well, isn't that something. Ah... please.... err, could you put the swingy death stick away my metalic friend, its a bit early yet. Hmmm now, this is interesting indeed."

Qinik paces a bit, circling around 187 and mumbling into his white beard, and finally chortles.

"I have a thought. Could it be... that it is your... belief... that the best course of action is the one which has the best chance of success? Wonderful! What a quaint notion! Ah, what philosopher wouldn't relish such a one to converse with. Ah, I find myself sadly at a loss for how to convey the nuance of foolish decision-making that most folks employ. Ah yes let's see..."

Qinik paces a bit more, shaking his head and talking to himself.

"You see, most folks try not to go round killing other folks if they can... err... avoid it. Cause it's sort of... err... horrible... the death and killing. When everyone starts killing one another, well, things are mighty unpleasant for the whole lot. But, well, sometimes the avoiding's worse than killing. Hmmm, not sure that's the best way to put it... err, does any of this... err... make sense to you Mr. Numbers?"

Qinik seems more interested in philosophical discussions that resolving the decision of whether to sneak or blaze a trail. If asked, he will indicate that he still favors a more cautious approach, but is fine with throwing caution to the wind if that is the group's consensus.

 

[Baileyborough]

As the human circles it, speaking in that way that fleshlings tended to when they really didn't care what others said, [187]'s eyes dimmed from red to orange. As the philosophical musings continue, its eyes turn purple as it tries to follow what is being said.
Deciding that it has nothing to do with it, it stands to attention again, and waits for further input.

"187, isn't there a way to move silently and be prepared for conflict.
We all distaste conflict, it's not like that someone have made a pact and feed some dark entity the life-force of their dying foes..." Pelias tries to explain to the warforged.

OOC: shadowwalk class feature is used if not noted otherwise

 

[Kazun]

Looking down at his feat, Kilvin mumbles a response.

"Umm, if I could interject a moment. I'd rather avoid any bloodshed, especially mine. Of course, I am, umm, not built for stealth, you could say, so I really don't have any better ideas. Whatever you folks think is best."

 

[Goken100]

Qinik gets the ball rolling

"Excellent! So we're in agreement! We will attempt to move stealthily and almost inevitably fail! I hope you're paying attention, Mr. Numbers, this is a valuable lesson about how we less metalic folks do things. Now then..."

Qinik will suggest the group get a move on. He will volunteer to look for tracks and other signs of nature to indicate areas best avoided, unless someone else in the group is more skilled than he. He'll also pull his cloak over his head somewhat comically as he attempts to move along inconspicuously.

 

[Baileyborough]

[187] seems to understnad. It shifts its weight so that it steps lighter. As much as can be said for a 6' 6" metal and wood construct. It keeps the flail out and its eyes glow a light orange as it scans the area as it moves.


OOC : How do I do dice rolls like that?
