Island Empire Part 2, Mermaid's Rest

Terry responds, "A good point, but I don't think the idea is for us to continue our attack long after you go in. We would only stay long enough to spread confusion and make trouble. Part of the reason the 'Sun will be stationary is to avoid accidents in the fog. If your entry takes place on the opposite side of the compound it should be safe. Besides, I think the Priests over on the Radiant Sun may have some ideas about getting the fog cleared." He looks to Lt. Caleb who in turn looks at Geoffrey.

Resolution

"Yes, my officers and I have thought about the fog and have come up with a possible solution to it. Using fire houses and pumps from both the Sun and the Bedsheet, we should be able to put a considerable amount of water into the air. As it falls back towards the sea, it should act as rain and clear some of the fog. In addition, I will have several of my priests join forces and hit the fog with muliple gusts of air and heat. That in addition to the pumps should clear a sufficent area around the ships. The only other alternative would be to attempt to clear it thru weather magic which i am very hesitant to use here in the inner sea."

Mingo responds, "That sounds good, Lord Vasa. I have one other question, based on my understanding of the layout. Where will the ships and our foot approach be in relation to the guards at the normal foot entrance to the compound? I am wondering if we will get a shot at them before the main assault."

"If it becomes absolutely vital for us to get rid of the fog for a short time, I can summon an air elemental to keep the air immediately around us free from fog and other precipitants and foreign objects. Sadly, though the spell will only last for a single minute. So I must know the best minute in which to use the spell before I cast it, which makes the spell's use uncertain at best. I think that I can do much more good by calling forth a thunderbolt upon those guarding the gate and possibly sundering the gate itself as well."

"Man, that grog really hit the spot!"

Resolution

Seeing the Gnomes obivious enjoyment of the ale and its quick disapperance from the pitcher, Geoffrey will ask that more the pticher be refilled and an additional one of both ale and grog.

"No more on my account, Captain Geoffrey, please! I appreciate your generous hospitality, but I have reached my limit until we celebrate our victory later today!"

"Will the angle be right for such an attack?" Mingo asks? "That might require us to split up. I understand that we do not wish to divide the party on the ground. My concern is that we not use up our most powerful attacks on smaller foes."

OOC: Is that easier to read, Leif?

"Angle? I'm not sure I understand what you mean, Madam Halfling. I only meant that if we had trouble entering the compound, I might be able to.... ummm.... lubricate the gate hinges, so to speak. I also would not use such an attack against a lesser foe if it could be avoided, but if we cannot enter the compound, then we cannot recue Master Allois."

ooc: hehe, yeah, I can see that one just fine! But I first selected that size to provide more contrast with Gnurl's "under the breath" praise of Captain Geoffrey's grog.

Resolution

"Gentlemen, I belive you have the plan somewhat confused, it is only the two ships that will be dealing with the gates and front senteries, we will be looking for a back door to go in well away from them" Geoffrey says

OCC - Sorry, I will only be able to post early morning and evening daily except Fri, Sat, and Sun. I can post numerous times on those days. EXCEPT...I will be out of town this Sat and Sun snowboarding.

IC - "I have no problem having the entire crew attend if that will help, I want everyone on the same page. I also really like the idea of bringing down the wall, if that is possible and not magically protected. Great idea. I also think if the away party keeps to the other side and searches there until the walls come down, then we should keep the fog, it will help us stay hidden, that is unless the fog exists only outside the wall, a very real possibility."
