D&D 5E [IC] Creamsteak's Princes of Elemental Evil

[Steve Gorak]

Thaliss considers Tolan's point of view. Telepathically se saysI am open to head to the spire, but I feel taking on the keep in unavoidable, and better do it sooner while they do not expect us. Bear in mind that Shoalar's death has been foreseen by the priests at the keep, so seeing him alive would be a surprise to them

"I'm very good at disguises," Damien replied and called on his pact to shroud him in the form of the genasi. He spiced it up with a cantrip that made him smell of musty water and shellfish. "You tags scared of a bit o' the rough and tumble?"

OOC: Deception (w/Advantage): [roll0] [roll1]

 

[Shayuri]

"We know more about the keep than the Spire. And we don't all have to bluff our way in. Just a few of us could open the door to the rest, with the right opportunity. I can get in as well, posing as an animal."

 

[Creamsteak]

OOC: It seems like we have a majority in favor of some kind of boat trip to visit the keep using disguises and subterfuge. Just let me know how each character intends to conceal themselves, which kind of boat or boats you are taking, and what time of day you wish to arrive at. The earliest you could currently arrive is noon. Feel free to roll your disguise checks if needed. Once all six players have had time to provide me with that info, I will be able to move forward. Don't let me distract from any role-playing here, I'm just trying to set up the course for action.

Tolan chuckles dryly to himself.

"Oh, I think they're expecting us."

Still he, bends down to pick up the sharktooth blade again. After running through his forms for a few moments to learn the unusual weapon's balance, he puts it away and starts figuring out some way to make himself look like one of the dead warriors.

"Don't expect me to talk much. Unless one of their warriors is an elf, I will need to avoid drawing any attention."

OOC: I figure reaver is my best bet as it allows me to be armed and armored normally. From the art they appear to go bare chested. So Tolan will stow his own gear and arm and armor himself with sawtooth blade, crab shield and javelins and any other decorations, etc. [roll0]

 

[Forged Fury]

Damien made a very uncertain face. "Maybe Dent should try to see if he can pull off one of the Reavers? He's a half-elf, so the pointy bits aren't as bad."

"Nice trick!" Thallis verbally to Damien, as friendly banter

Tolan chuckles dryly to himself.

"Don't expect me to talk much. Unless one of their warriors is an elf, I will need to avoid drawing any attention."

Thaliss focuses a bit, and a piece of cloth that was lying about slowly goes on Tom's head. He verbally orders Tom: "Don't remove it, you don't want to see this".

He then telepathically tells his companions. This is what Jolly looks like and a 3d image of the man appears, and rotates so all can see. Thaliss adds: I don't think we'll be able to take the big boat, unless one of our new comrades knows how to navigate it, but it would be the easiest place to hide. Perhaps Tom can be of service and navigate it, but I can't vouch for his trustworthiness. Regardless of which boat we take, I can hide a few of us, including myself, within an illusion, for example" he then proceeds to create an illusion of stacked bags around himself.

OOC: cast mage hand to take cloth on head of Tom. Multiple castings of silent image (15 ft cube)

Tolan shrugs at Damien.

"I have no objection to Dent being the other reaver. But I had assumed he would want to keep all that steel wrapped around himself for protection. You know, in case things go ... well in case things go as they usually have. But if I am not to be a warrior, what part would you have me play in this little pantomime?"

 

[Forged Fury]

"Well... under my plan, we would need prisoners." Damien hinted. "But we really need to settle on one idea and get moving. They're probably going to start wondering what happened to this crew." He gestured around at the dead bodies littering the ground.

 

[Creamsteak]

Thaliss knows the general ground floor layout of the keep.

OOC: Attempting to add a 5 ft square grid to the existing image. Maybe I fail at this.
