Eyes Of The Lich Queen OOC

[DEFCON 1]

I want to make sure everyone has a part in the decision-making process of what the group will do. If anyone has any further ideas, please post them in-game... if your character desn't have his own idea, at the very least post in-game that you agree with "Proposal X", so a consensus can begin to be reached.

If nothing really gets agreed upon, or no one makes a hard, fast decision of "Proposal X is what we'll do unless someone else offers a better idea..." I'll go ahead and use the most basic action... which is "in the morning, the party will return to the trail, walk up towards the temple, and defend against any attacks that come their way". That's the most basic plan possible, and will be the baseline for any further plotting the rest of you may want to adjust or strengthen.

There are a couple possible alternatives on the table right now...
1) Send someone in diguised as a lizard and do some scouting
2) Set fire to the jungle to cause a distraction
3) Sneak past the guards as far in towards the temple as possible

And there may be another idea or two someone may offer up. Please begin to finalize possible additions/changes to the baseline plan, or give your thumbs up to the plans of the others. We'll see about getting the group moving forward on Monday. Thanx!

"Send someone in diguised as a lizard and do some scouting"

If it wasn't for the fact that I don't speak Drakonic that would be me...though if I had a guide or interperator that would be different.

I am sorry for not getting on as often as I like but I still have another week before internet at home.

 

[Velmont]

Are we aware that Aern is a changelling yet?

What does he speak? I couldn't find languages listed for Aern.

It looks like Khalia, Jina, Jango, and Rogan speak Draconic. Of those, only Rogan is really stealthy to any degree.

 

[Mista Collins]

Rogan isn't much of a leader and not one to make a concrete decision. He is a thinker and will give ideas. Any and all plans sound feasible to Rogan.

 

[DEFCON 1]

So here's what I'm gathering to be the plan from the bits of what's been said. Any changes that you want made, let me know.

1) Attack the first patrol tonight
2) Send one scout (Rogan) silently ahead to find the patrol
3) The melee fighters (Ari, Jina, Aern) follow behind them as a group
4) The casters (Horatio, Khalia, Jango) even further back ready to cast Silence and other spells.
5) When the scout finds the patrol, he signals the melee group, who signal the casters
6) Divine casters cast Silence on melee group, who advance forward
7) Rogan, Ari, Jina, and Aern engage lizards in melee, while the casters advance and lend spell support (Horatio possibly engaging in melee as well?)

The biggest remaining question then is how many Silence spells do you want to cast, and which of the meleeist are going to get them? If you cast them directly onto Rogan, Ari, Jina, and/or Aern, they can engage the lizards and automatically put them within the silence radius. If you coordinate the engagement, you could possibly get all the patrolling lizards within silenced areas and thus avoid any signals being sent.

Please feel free to add any small tweaks to this here, and then I'll go ahead and move the story forward.

6) Divine casters cast Silence on melee group, who advance forward

Actually, I meant to have Donovan casting Silence on one of the patrol lizards, since I figured they'd be relatively close together. At the very least, we'd guarantee one of them stayed quiet.

I think it would be better to be cast on a melee figther, because he won't resist it. In that case, it might be best to do it on Jina, as Ari might need to cast or curse, and thus, could get out of the area. That mean Jina would have for target to get down the scout with whistles, or at leats, stay close to them if she can't reach them. Jango will help with his magic missiles.

If he can, Jango will enter a prohetic favor as a preparation for the combat, while a divine caster cast silence.

Three silence for the group would eb enough I think.

 

[Mista Collins]

Sounds like the plan we've come up with. Works for me.

Ari's jiggy w'it.
