IC: Dichotomy's Age of Worms Redux, Part II

"It seems we are divided. Let me propose a solution which may sway your opinion, Alexis. Two of us can don the chainmail with veils and pose as guards. If someone does come by, we can simply inform them that the priests are not to be disturbed. If problems insue, we can then go deal with the other wings."

Brannak, quite pleased, sits back with his arms crossed and awaits everyone's agreement.

"The plan seems sound, but we should take care to cover our arms as well as we have no tatoos. The two should wait inside the doors so that they only have to face those who actually come for the Hexorites rather than anyone walking through the main room."

 

[o3caudata]

"Ok. Assuming they don't question whoever is guarding too intensely I think that plan just might work. Excellent idea. We'll need a couple of those uniforms and the chainmail veils. We should clear out the entry room as well. Bodies laying around tend to raise suspicions."

 

[TiCaudata]

"We can stash all the bodies in the arena room and close the doors."

"I am ok with this plan, but I don't think I should be on of the fake guards. I can wait on the other side, and ready to help." Viktor then begins to carry some of the bodies into the large room.

 

[TiCaudata]

"Well I am not going to be putting on the bones of the earth just in case someone might possible stop in for a chat. I can be ready with my wolf if Brannak's negotiations fail.

We could actually use the arena like they did. Draw any charge into the room and fire on them from above. Some of my spells would work better that way as well."[sblock=oc]If we agree on the arena plan, Llyr will wait behind the door that was next to the chair.[/sblock]

"I suppose that leaves it to Dav and I, unless a womanly guard could be adequately disguised," supposes Brannak. "Let us get to work then, lest there be a morning delivery missed."

Brannak gets changed with a smile, and sets himself up.

[sblock=ooc]The plan is to wait all day. If someone comes by, I'll diplomacize them as best I can, resorting to bluffing that the priests are busy with a ritual if diplomacy doesn't work.

Late 14/Early 15

"It's more cumbersome than I want, but I can wear that junk," Dav agrees. He sets to drawing in ink on his arms, copying as best he can the images he sees on the dead tieflings.

As the day wears by, it seems that the ruse is enough to work. The only people that come by appear to be local young men, would-be petitioners to join the ranks. They are easily turned away by Brannak's words and a flash of Dav's steel, and, most likely, the country bumkins are no more the wiser.

At midnight, Alexis regains her spells and the party prepares to head forward.

 

[o3caudata]

"Well that wasn't nearly as frightening as it could have been. Is everyone ready? I agree that the eye complex should be our next try, but we may not have a choice."

 

[o3caudata]

"Since we know that there are likely wizards around here somewhere, we should talk about possible strategies for dealing with them."

"My idea is to to use the spell we used to get in here, which silenced us, against them. An example would be, if Llyr would allow, to have the spell cast 'on' Moro. Most magic i'm aware of requires some verbal commands and he moves more quickly than any of us. If he can get them on the ground, all the better."

"Any one else have input or ideas before we go?"
