Island Empire Part 2, Mermaid's Rest

Gnurl Whiskerling

"So what's your pleasure now, Mistress Mingo?" says Gnurl, still glancing menacingly at the guards mentioned earlier, his fingers twitching as if they desperately want to begin an arcane gesture, and would if they could of their own volition.

OOC: I can't seem to find our Rogues' Gallery anywhere! Help, please?

"This boat looks convenient!" exclaims Mingo, as she smiles at Gnurl. Mingo will inspect the boat and glance over, from time to time, at the guards and anyone else on the walkway and inside the compound.

OOC: Rogue's Gallery is here. If you go to the "Plots, Places & Rogues!" part of ENworld, you have to change the timeframe in the lower left of the page to get back to 11/01/07 when the last addition was made.

Scotley, do we detect any activity inside the enemy compound?

"Sounds good, one boat is about as good as another to pass this time."

OCC - Scott, might we be able to get a better view of the guards on the wall from any other angle?

With a slightly ironic smile, Geoffrey will follow the party to the small boat keeping an eye to both the sea and the gate. He will particulary look for any type of vessel that could be close enough to be used as a means of escape.
 

Gnurl Whiskerling, Gnome Wizard at Small

Not really knowing what else to do, Gnurl will follow Mingo and be always alert for any reason to let the guards have it. (Besides, he like standing next to Mingo! Makes him feel like KING KONG to be even 4 inches taller than someone!)
 

You still can't see well inside the wall, though the fog is fading. There are some boats nearby that might make a good escape route for you. There is a launch with a mast and sail as well as oars tied to a larger houseboat about 100' yards back. By climbing the bare mast on this old fishing boat you could most likely get a partial view over the wall. However, the gate guards will also be able to see you. No one seems to be aboard the old fishing boat and no one comes immediately to run you off. The smell of long past catches is unpleasant, but otherwise this boat makes a decent staging area. It is now 30 minutes until the appointed time.

Spot checks please and add 5 for anyone climbing the mast.

[sblock=0-10]Someone has carved 'Ralph loves Hilda' into a plank on the deck of this old boat and drew a crude heart.[/sblock]

[sblock=11-15]The fog is getting thinner and more of the walls are coming into view, but you don't see anything happening.[/sblock]

[sblock=16-20]There seems to be some movement along the wall to the north. Something is happening, but you aren't sure what.[/sblock]

[sblock=21+]They seem to be preparing to open a section of the wall to the north and there is a vessel moving inside the wall, a big one, but it is still mostly obscured by the mist.[/sblock]
 

Gnurl Whiskerling, Gnome Wizard at Small

Remembering back to his last shipboard combat, Gnurl will head up the mast to the crows nest, keeping the mast between himself and our foes. Gnurl's spot check = 1d20+1+5 = 10 http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1408393, so Gnurl probably doesn't see much, but he is touched by the love of Ralph for his Hilda! Featherwind, however, has much better luck: spot check = 1d20+6+5 = 27, so she chirps to Gnurl, [sblock=Featherwind to Gnurl]They seem to be preparing to open a section of the wall to the north and there is a vessel moving inside the wall, a big one, but it is still mostly obscured by the mist. [/sblock]. And Gnurl will relay this message to his friends, too, as he hands Featherwind a fresh, juicy Scooby Snack.

spot check (1d20+5=20)

Radoon sees the movement and after hearing Gnurl, know what is happening.

Damn, I wish we had contact with our ships...

Radoon will say to the others, "hopefully, the crew will know to begin the attack if they see the ships leaving, I think we should still stick with the plan and enter when the ships begin their attack."
 

Resolution

"That we can accomplish Master Radoon"..Geoffrey will then quitely send a messeage to Caleb. "Signal the "Bedsheet" and launch the attack, they are preparing to sail under cover of the fog" Tuning back to Radoon he says "The Bedsheet will be signaled and teh attack lauched, shall we proceed and pay our respect to the guards"
