[QUOTE="Speaks With Stone, post: 483474, member: 375"] I nearly did this the other night: We were in a crypt and outside were 3 spell casters. My familiar had been stationed outside and watched as they prepped hold person, magic missle and something else. So I was going to cast mage hand on an empty robe that we had used as a disguise earlier and have it "walk" to the door to draw all of those spells. Sadly, one of the other characters didn't want to listen when I said, "Stay clear of the door." He got all of it in the face, so all I could do was drag him clear on my turn. Another tactic that I'm working is after that debacle (we are now trapped in the darn crypt with around 100 baddies outside waiting on us. They sent in a negotiator to demand we surrender. Had I more time to prepare a good lie . . . Sadly, I ran with the first thing that popped to mind. I told the negotiator that we had just opened a demon portal and that we intended to continue opening the gates spread around this ruin and they couldn't do anything to stop us. I bluffed him, but I don't think it will help. Since we have to explore a lot in this occupied city, I want to keep them from looking for us the right way. So I'm painting summoning/demonic gating/arcane symbols all over the room and using Nystuls Magic Aura to make them appear magical. I'm also going to make one that suggests teleportation. Then we will turn invisible and hopefully sneak out. Hopefully. Dang. That sounds down right weak now that I read back over it. We are in seriously deep and have very few prepped spells to handle the current situation> should be interesting [/QUOTE]
