Mingo Frasse & Anson & Mig
"Thank you, Marienna. With Master Randoon's permission, we will stay aboard, both for healing and for safety. There may yet be another attack."
Mingo HP 67/67 (temp from 76) Con 14/16
Anson HP 56/56 (temp from 63) Con 14/16
Gnurl: "Once it was known that undead were involved, I would think that you would expect clerical aid."
Geoffrey: "Seeing that we are not fully ready for a fight with undead, Master Vasa, could you share some of your wisdom with us on undead combat techniques? Even magical weapons passed through the wraiths."
[sblock=OOC]Mingo lost 5 skiprocks in that battle, but she is still well-stocked.[/sblock]

As the discussion continues Geoffreyl will add "Master Lockspur, with Master Radoon's consent, please confer to my second that it is my desire that he bring the "Radiant Sun" to a postion next to or adjoing the "Bedshee" so as not to seperate our forces. That way should an attack occur we will be in mutally supporting position but i would imagince that undead will avoid the "Radiant Sun" as she is consercrated ground....
"Mistress Mingo, tacitis fighting the undead vary as do the undead themself. I know of only one or two generalized ways of fighting them and they pertain mainly to blessing weapons in such a fashion as to allow them to disrupt the negative energise which have summoned them or allowing them the ability to strike them" Geoffrey then adds "This we can readily do without much preparation, but it can only be done for a limited amount of time. Then there is the most obivious caution of watching your party members to detect subtle changes in their behavior, the establishment of a friend/foe identification and when facing such opponets as we just did, going back to back so as to limit their ability to strike from stealth"

To Terry Lockspur, "I agree with Capt Vasa, go ahead and board the Radiant Sun and meet with..." To Geoffrey, "I'm sorry Geoffrey, who is your first mate?"
To Gnurl, "We did cash our bank drafts to purchase gear and supplies for the journey."
OCC - Maybe my idea of the size of the area we are about to attack is smaller than it really is.
To the group, "I was thinking of leaving the two ships to provide support from the far wall as we enter from the land side, hopefully unseen. I would bring just my officers minus Terry. I think a smaller but very capable party would allow for the best penetration remaining unseen."
To M., "I know I don't have to ask, but after seeing that wraith hurt us so badly, I would really like you to join us and not man the ship, I think Terry is a much better choice, your aid during the fight was invaluable and will most assuredly be needed again - especially by an old dog such as myself."
To Geoffry, "Would you be able to bless us and our weapons right before we enter?"

"If Marienna is willing to accompany us in our assault, then I certainly see no harm in having three priests instead of only two. To be sure, FOUR spellcasters in this group will be quite a departure from our ordinary course of business! Will the sensibilities of either Captain Geoffrey or Mistress Mingo be offended by this?"
"Well, then, I have been remiss in wanting to wait until the job was completed before cashing my bank draft. Oh, well, it's too late to worry about that now, I suppose."mleibrock said:

"Yes Master Radoon, if there is sufficent time i can prepare everyone's weapons with some sort of divine favor, the problem is that it would take roughly a round to do each weapon and it may not last much more than one or two rounds of combat before expiring. I could due one mass spell which would not be quite as powerful but allow more time or do one or two spells for our principal fighters allowing them sufficent rounds to utilizes the spells. Then turning his attention to Master Gnurls question he says "The only way i will be offended by Mistress Marianna prescence is if she wears her lavender perfume in such large quatines as she is famous for and gives us away to our foes" As he completes his sentence, Geoffrey will give a small wink as if to express he is jesting to Mariannn then continues "The plan is sound tactical Master Radoon, the ships scare them to their bolt holes where we will await them with mace and sword."

"Master Randoon, Anson and I will join you and your officers in the attack. You've seen that Anson is a capable swordsman. He is also a fair shot with his bow. I have some modest clerical abilities in addition to my warsling and skiprocks. You may have noticed that the skiprocks will sometimes skip from one opponent to another, if they are close together. I don't have quite the range of a bow, but I can hit distant opponents as well as those in melee. We are best suited to taking out numerous lesser foes. Neither of us have a killer ability that does massive amounts of damage, at least not against undead. Master Vasa and Master Gnurl are more likely to have such abilities. We've already seen the damage that healing power does to the undead." Mingo smiles at Marienna.
"Master Vasa, I'm carrying over 15 pounds of silver dust should you need some."
OOC: Unless the compound has a large magical section underwater, there does not seem to be much room "inside" in the compound, unless I'm missing something. BTW, I'm referring to flame strikes, scorching ray, lightning bolts, etc..
Silver dust is used for Consecrate.

"I believe that most of you have seen about the best that I am able to offer against these elusive non-corporeal foes, sadly. We'll need more room for my lightning bolts to be effective without damaging friends. I've also inadvertently done some significant structural damage with lightning bolts, as well, unfortunately. I am afraid that my magic missiles will probably be the most effective thing that I am able to do, since my best spells affect the mind of my target, and undead have no noticeable minds..."

Marienna replies to Geoffrey, "I'll leave the perfume at home Captain, but I think that you'll miss once we are surrounded by the smell of rotting corpses."
She favors Radoon with a smile. "Of course I'll accompany you. I've learned that you find youself in need of my healing gifts more often than anyone else I've ever met."
Finally, she addresses Gnurl, who is balanced precariously on a chair and a pair of couch cushions as he places the silver flame in a lanter. "I'm not a cleric. My talents are much more focused on the healing arts rather than divine pursuits. Normally, my spells lack much militant punch, but in the case of undead they can be quite effective."
Terry rises. "I'll be off to meet my counterpart on the Radiant Sun. I suggest we choose a berth a bit further from the compound for the night."
OOC: Any other preparations you'd like to make or shall I advance time to noon tomorrow when the attack begins?
