[LPF] Toad in the Hole

[DalkonCledwin]

[sblock=GM]The green fuzz is vegetation. The brown hexagons are the mud huts.[/sblock]

[sblock=OOC]There is actually a green hexagon to the south of the tower, but I am going to assume that one was supposed to be a brown hexagon and you just accidentally made it green[/sblock]

Marcus turns his head to the side, closing his eyes, listening. Slowly he opens one eye and looks up/over/back at his companions.

Despite it's looks, it isn't completely deserted. I hear noises, splashing and what sounds like hammering, likely from the tower. If the rest of the Pugwampi are out doing whatever it is they do, we might be able to get to check the huts for the boxes. We should also check the tower, if this Lasher person is there, when the Pugwampi are not around might be the best time to face him. The fewer casualties, the better.

"I would tend to agree. While the Pugwampi certainly seem to be dangerous from a human standpoint, they are no more dangerous in my mind than the prankster pixies in the long run. This bunch just appears to be a tad bit misguided if you ask me. So it would seem that this Lasher fellow, who or whatever he is, would be the one doing the misguiding. Thus, it would be best to deal with him without the presence of the Pugwampi if possible." Fae'shiel explains her beliefs on this situation as best as she is able to the others in the group.

Maui nods.

"We kill Lasher and te other king. Then we talk to te Puffwampi. With no king, maybe they listen to their cousin. Let's go straight to te tower, before te Puffwampi hunters return. Maui goes around the village through te trees to check. Then to te tower."


Unless stopped by his companions:

Maui begins skirting around the edge of the village through the trees still looking for signs of undetected pugwampi amongst the huts. Taniwha follows him. When he is close to the tower he checks that his companions are ready, whispers a prayer to Tane for himself and Taniwha and heads directly towards the entrance of the tower ready for action as soon as he enters the building.

[sblock=Actions] Maui casts Guidance on himself and Taniwha before heading across to the tower entrance [/sblock]

 

[Systole]

GM: If you plan on moving into the village stealthily, please make a Stealth check. If you are moving to within 40' or so of the tower, please make a Survival check.

OOC: You probably shouldn't have spoken up until after we all posted Systole...

Fae'shiel doesn't try to stop Maui, but something is nagging at the back of her mind, "Why would the Pugwampi leave an obviously important tower near their village unguarded?" with that said, Fae'shiel does not draw her longsword this time, instead opting to draw her Crossbow and knocking a bolt into it and engaging the drawing mechanism before going anywhere near the village.

 

[Systole]

OOC: You may not have noticed my use of conditionals ("If you enter the village .... If you approach the tower..."), as well the fact that the post was not addressed to anyone in particular.

 

[Artur Hawkwing]

Marcus waits a moment or two, until the Druid appears to have had a chance to eye the huts nearest, then raises a hand to the others.

I'm going to try for the nearest hut. Unless anyone else has a better suggestion?

 

[DalkonCledwin]

"Be careful... I don't know, but something about this situation is bothering me..." Fae'shiel says to Marcus, as she takes up a defensive position from where she can target anything that may try to attack Marcus... hopefully.

OOC: Preparing an action to fire a bolt at the first thing to act aggressively towards Marcus.

Maui skirts around the edge of the village as stealthily as he can manage and takes a look at the area from closer to the tower.

OOC: Maui uses Woodland stride to pass through any areas of difficulty effortlessly during his approach
