Island Empire Part 2, Mermaid's Rest

Radoon

OCC: Geoffrey is suggesting that the two ships make a frontal assault while the party goes in thru the back door. With such obvious firepower involved in a fontal attack it is plausable they the opponets would try to escape thru a bolt hole with the prisoner...thus placing them within reach of the party to smask and bash

Radoon ponders Geoffrey's suggestion and a crooked smile soon appears, "I like the way you thin Captain! So high noon tomorrow, the two ships will begin an attack at the wall fulling facing the water while we sneak in the door from the rest's side. I do believe the away party should slip off ship during the night and lie low somewhere until it's time. Any suggestions on where we might do that? Does anyone else have any thing to ad? Gnurl, would you be able to aid our entrance with a cloaking spell?"

H'Roosh

"To the 'Officers', "So we are all in agreement? We will discuss our plans for taking the undead beyond the wall with the our new friends and hopefully work together to achieve that goal."

Sorry to be redundant but I never heard from Mikey.

Sorry - Post 1605 has my invitation to Geoffrey to join the party.

[sblock=OOC]OK, I've got plans this evening so I won't be able to catch up 'till tomorrow. Even then, it's gonna take me a long time to catch up here - I can't post or check from work at all. I'll try not to get frustrated, and H'Roosh isn't the most verbose character, but he's gonna miss a lot of chances to chime in if the posting continues at 10 to 20 a day. I hate to be the one slowing everyone down, but . . .[/sblock]

Meetings

"If you would be so kinda as to share your overall thoughs and how you wish to proceed I will tell you what assets I have at my disposal to assit you" Geoffrey says "Should you wish to go underwater then i have access to several spells which allow an individual to breath underwater, I also have a few small masking spells and spells that augment and ability. Lastly rest assured that any undead encoutred will learn to fear the Church Faitful"

DUH!! Illusions don't work on undead! Gnurl has no idea what to do!

Radoon and the other 'officers' return to the new arrivals.

Radoon will fill them in on all the details of Allois' disappearance and Marin's subsequent hiring the party to find him, whereupon he is to be brought to Allois' location via a magical portal Radoon carries. Radoon will also tell the tale of one of the members, Michael Storm's treasonous act of lighting the "Sheet" on fire and escaping. He will also tell of Rook's death from a skirmish in the bar that may or may not be related to what is beyond the wall.

OCC - If you need details, let me know, I am not sure how much Scott has filled you in here.

IC - Once Radoon finishes he states, "Geoffry, we were looking for a way to distract those on the other side of the wall while we entered, I think the catapults pounding the wall furtherest from our entry point might be just the diversionary tactic we were looking for. Would you be agreeable to this?"

OOC: I've just read the thread to get this information....

Mingo looks at Anson, "Hmmm...two guards at the dock-side gate, you say? Anson and I could take them out from afar using missle weapons. The ships could attack the sea-gate and block any boats from fleeing, while the rest of the party enters elsewhere. Anson and I would then join you. But that might mean splitting the group."

Is the spot check for a shadowy area (I get another +3 from Feathwind if it is)

If it isn't now, it soon will be...

Spot checks
[sblock=21+]It has gotten unnaturally dim outside over the last 10 minutes or so, a huge shadowy arm has risen up out of the floor directly behind Geoffrey and and reached out for him. It passes right through his impressive armor as if it weren't there and from the way he flinches he is wounded by the touch twice. He looks pale and somehow diminished by the attack.[/sblock]

[sblock=16-20]Hmmm, must be clouding up, it seem to be getting darker outside. You glance toward a porthole and then catch a motion out of your periphery. Did Geoffrey just make a sudden move?[/sblock]

[sblock=11-15]Something is nagging at the back of your mind, but you can't quite put a finger on it. You glance at the portal...[/sblock]

[sblock=0-10]Boy that dog is really enjoying that bone.[/sblock]


OOC: [sblock]Surprise and first round attack (1d20+16=34, 1d20+16=20) damage (2d6=6, 2d6=5) Constitution Drain (1d8=2, 1d8=6)[/sblock]

 

[Scotley]

[sblock=Geoffrey]An unseen foe attacks from the rear and Geoffrey feels an icy touch dig into the flesh of his back twice in rapid succession. Whirling he catches only a glimpse of shadowy fingers retreating into the floor, but with certainty he knows undead are near. Powerful incorpreal undead. The wounds he takes are minor (a total of 11 damage) but he feels a terrible drain on his life force that chills him to the core (8 points of temp. constitution drain. That brings Geoffrey's con. down to 4 which means that he looses another 36 hp.) He knows that he is unlikely to survive another such attack. (sorry dude, that natural one earned you the booby prize this time)[/sblock]

The room seems to have dimmed and gotten chilly.

OOC: Actions for round 1? Note that at this point there is no visible foe in the room.

[sblock=Mowgli]Don't worry, I can't imagine this pace will continue. Besides I haven't been able to keep up either and the game can only advance so much without the DM. Just hang on with both hands and try to enjoy the ride.[/sblock]

Radoon

OK, Radoon sees the color drain from Geoffry but has no idea what to attack

'is this new foe invisible?'
